Bruh, no love for Pat Sajak and Bob Barker. They’re American icons

Bob Barker has to be up there with Trebek. It gets a bit murky with the other 2. Woolery, Wink Martindale, Sajak, Gene Rayburn, Bob Eubank, Richard Dawson. And Bert Convy is criminally underrated.

The melt will be extreme when they name Leslie Jones or Queen Latifah as the new host.

Dawson.

My next four would be, in no order:

Woolery, Monty Hall, Wink Martindale, Peter Tomarken

Honorable Mention: Marc Summers

Is Sajak strong enough to stand alone, though? His longevity is no doubt tied to Vanna White.

Is this like a Stockton/Malone type relationship?

I watched Jeopardy for a few minutes yesterday and Trabek's voice is noticeably weaker. And he's starting to get that sunken cheeks look.

I'm one among many who've seen loved ones develop the side effects of chemo and radiation. There are no words to comfort him, darn it all.

Especially pancreatic and ovarian cancers. Those are still usually a death sentence, which makes Ruth Bader Ginsburg all the more remarkable since she already beat pancrsatic cancer once and is holding her own in round two.

Dan Patrick and Ken Jennings have been the rumored favorites to replace him.
