If there's a Star Trek TNG crew member who hasn't shown themselves to be a complete piece of trash, please step forward.

Michael Dorn 'might' qualify, but when everyone else has shown their true colors, it's very unlikely he's not in the same boat.

I had hope for Frakes and Spiner, but nope. Utterly woke & miserable humans.

POSSIBLY Gates McFadden, Denise Crosby, or Diana Muldur?


Mariana Sirtis is legit retarded IMHO. Someone who would still be folding sweaters at The Gap if they hadn't gotten that job needs to STFD and STFU.

Bialik is beyond awful. She ain't the answer.

But neither is Burton.

You might not like Jennings, but he is the only real host this show has had post-Trebek.

My issue with Mayim Bialik is that she has little trivia knowledge. For example, if a contestant gets a wrong, but close answer, Ken Jennings will usually acknowledge it and sometimes add in additional facts. Alex Trebek did this too. It's small, but it enhances the show IMO.

Mayim never has anything additional or insightful to add in these situations. It's always "no" or "that is not correct". It tells me that she doesn't have enough knowledge about the clues beyond what's on the card.

That said, she's WAY better than LeVar Burton would have been.

Because he's personable, knowledgeable, and he knows the game. He's a natural.

Mariana Sirtis

Really need to wonder abou the mental state of an adult human who gleefully celebrates the pain and suffering of millions of people in a geographic region (Texas) who suffered from a freak act of nature and tries to tie it to politics.

She'd never assign any such 'karma' to those who suffer wildfires, earthquakes, mudslides, etc... in California. Nor would she accept any such notion that Super Storm Sandy was payback for those who voted 'Blue'.

She never apologized or even tried to amend her comments, that I'm aware. Never took 1 second to think of all those who DIDN'T vote the 'wrong' way still suffered the same fate. Never mind there was 0% chance that voting this or that way had any impact whatsoever on the freak winter storm happening in the first place.

She's a miserable washed-up actress who is bitter at the world because of her aging and fading looks.

Or you know.

She just isn't a good Jeopardy host.

Jeopardy is such a hard game to play and its going to take a special person that is able to host the show. The fact they've tried so many that haven't connected tells how tough it's going to be to get right.

My guess is Blossom will end up with the gig full time if the ratings hold. She's by no means perfect but with time she could possibly get better

It won’t be her.

Her ”This is Kat” show got picked up for another year by Fox and Jeopardy has already said the host of Jeopardy will need to make it their only job. Ken Jennings has already quit The Chase. Plus I imagine they will want to go into the 2022–2023 season with a permanent host and all signs point to it being Ken

Mike Richards was the right host, but he apparently made a joke once in his life, so he got yanked.

I don't know why LeVar Burton or anyone else thought they were "auditioning;" it was only announced that there would be a series of guest hosts to maintain interest after Alex died, and before the permanent host was announced.

It's pretty clear Mike Richards was going to be that permanent host before he got cancelled by the dirt-diggers and perennially offended. Ken Jennings is probably the best alternative now, assuming his Twitter has been thoroughly researched by now.

Wasn't aware that Sirtis even tried her hand at hosting Jeopardy.
