Seems a bit classless.. Body hasn't even cooled and he's lobbying for a job?

I'd rather not

What is Mexico?

What are the Finger Lakes?

What is Lake Titicaca?

What is the Rhone?

Only correct answer is the question: Who is Bill Murray?

Jeopardy is dead as far as I’m concerned. Alex was the show


Same here. I just couldn't get into the Price is Right after Bob Barker left. It's nothing against Drew Carey, just isn't the same.


Some shows have to have a specific host.

They're bringing back The Weakest Link with Jane Lynch. Show already failed once without Ann Robinson.

Yep. Ken Jennings as host or retire the show.

Alex is irreplaceable as a host but Ken will do his memory well.

Jesus. The man has been dead for only 24 hours and some ghoul is lobbying for his job?

Now wait for the rumors that the Clintons killed Trebek.

If not Ken Jennings, I wouldn't mind Brad Rutter. He has a great personality as well as the Brains too.

This from the Page Six Website:

quote:

Jennings, who currently holds the longest win-streak on “Jeopardy!” with 74 wins, singed on as a consulting producer for the show in September 2020.


Page Six

I think he would be good for the show. From what they did in September, they may think the same. Regardless, a Legend Died with Alex's passing.

frick that. I'll never watch Jeopardy again if they give that rat the job.

Trebek suggested Alex Faust (LA Kings announcer) or Laura Coates (CNN analyst) as his replacement before he died. Choose someone the man himself wanted. He was smart enough to know what the show needs.

I mean, it is going to be hard for Jeopardy going forward regardless of who they choose.

He'd be perfect for it. Whoever replaces Trebek is going to fail miserably because they aren't him, and this smug prick is perfect for it.

James Holtzhour would be a good host as well.
