Speaking to Harvey Levin on the latest episode of “OBJECTified,” Trebek revealed there’s more than a 50/50 chance he’ll step away from his hosting duties in 2020, once his contract is up.
“Sure,” he responded, when asked if he can see life beyond “Jeopardy!”
Trebek, 78, even got candid about finding a potential replacement for him should the time come when someone else has to read the answers to some tough trivia questions. The star was ready with both a male and female suggestion when prompted by Levin for more information about his potential exit.
“I mentioned to our producer not so long ago that the fellow that does play-by-play for the Los Angeles Kings – they should consider him,” Trebek said referring to Alex Faust

When asked if a woman could fill his shoes, Trebek wasted no time in making his selection.
“There is an attorney, Laura Coates,” he said. “She’s African-American and she appears some of the cable news shows from time to time.”

Ah yes, of course she has to receive points for her skin color. She cant just be a good candidate on her own...had to throw in the African-American description first.
Alex, just mention her name say she does great at her gig and move on. She doesn't have to be any color to do a good job hosting jeopardy.

With a name like Laura you don’t want to confuse people. There hasn’t been a black Laura since Laura Winslow.

The only answer is Will Ferrel.

Trebek's final episode needs to be Ferrell, Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds as contestants

What, pray tell, does being black have to do with hosting Jeopardy?
