He's no Trebek...I like him but I think he's not a game show host.

I can’t believe they gave the job to another white person

Hate him.

Would be happy with literally ANYONE else, aside from Katie Couric or Jemele Hill.

Did they cut him in half and put him on a table?

I think he’ll be OK, if he’s allowed some time to figure out his own style.

The game itself is fundamentally sound and formatted well for TV.

I see them giving it to Donald Glover or the New Jake from State Farm. It will be interesting to see Rodgers host though

No. There are talented people who can do that show. It should not be someone who has been on the show.

Trebek was so good at the job that he was barely noticeable during the rounds. Jennings isn’t that good, but nobody will be.

Don't like him. The best game show host currently is Drew Carey with Steve Harvey second. I actually hope people give bad answers on family feud because I like Harvey's responses.

I actually think he sounds TOO MUCH like Trebek. It's like he's trying to mimic all of Trebek's mannerism, etc.

If A-A-Ron is doing some episodes, maybe we also get both Jakes to do it as well.

He’s doing a good job. He has impossible shoes to fill so I’d say he’s the right guy to run the show at least for a while. The guy is brilliant, that’s for sure.

He’s doing better than when Vanna White tried to fill in for Pat Sajak

Needs a little more low key racism.

For some reason I always thought Lavar Burton would be a good fit for Jeopardy.

Or go in another direction and find a really hot but smart chick.

He's doing much better than I would have thought.

He's got the mechanics down and will loosen up and find his own style.

You don't realize that Jeopardy although a game show was cut and kewd for TV, wasn't live. So it's what it is. Guy needs a little lower voice IMO, but not bad.
