Same. Don't care about any of these entitled, narcissistic celebrities like Rodgers.

..Wonder if any seamless flow through big words, and the correct pronunciation of other languages that Alex brought will be lacking.

Yeah. If I had to take a guess, Anderson is going to get it in the end.

I thought Ken was doing reasonably well and getting better, aside from the fact that he's not Alex.

Looks like they haven't made any plans for a regular longterm host; not a fan of this model of rotating in other TV personalities or minor celebs.

The secret to Jeopardy's longevity was that Alex was a professional broadcaster and experienced game show host who didn't let his personality get in the way of the game. We watch it to feel smart when we get a tricky question right that none of the contestants get. The banter and personalities were not the main draw.

Wish I could get my way though, and have Anthony Daniels in character hosting as 3PO

The thing I thought when I saw it.

They should let Ken Jennings keep doing it honestly. He wasn't bad. If not, just end the show.

Perhaps the play is to put a bunch of shite guest hosts on so there is public outcry for Ken Jennings to be named the guy.
