Results: Readers Pick Their Top Choice for ‘Jeopardy!’s Permanent Host
A year ago, Jeopardy! fans were worrying about which guest host might be their favorite, but now the competition has been whittled down to two potential candidates for the full-time host: Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik.
While the game show has yet to determine who will take the coveted position, Jeopardy! has already given Bialik hosting duties for any primetime specials revolving around the series. Meanwhile, Jennings recently left his gig as a Chaser on ABC‘s The Chase, sparking some fans to wonder whether it’s a sign of things to come for his future with Jeopardy!.

Considering these factors, we asked readers to share their thoughts on Jennings and Bialik as potential permanent hosts of the game show in a poll, and the results may surprise you (or not). During the poll’s active days, it garnered a total of 29,683 votes.
Of the votes cast, Jennings took the lead with a majority of 70 percent with 20,885 votes — meanwhile, Bialik came in at 30 percent at 8,798 votes. While both had a strong showing of support, it’s clear who’s favored to be the permanent host among our readers, and that would be Ken Jennings.
Whether or not that will actually take place remains to be seen, but we want to hear from you. Do you agree with these poll results? Sound off on your thoughts about Jeopardy!‘s potential permanent host in the comments section, below, and stay tuned for more updates on the coveted role as Jeopardy!‘s 38th season continues.

Definitely Mr. Jennings! He has a noticeable more relaxed presence throughout the show, both delivering the clues and reactions with the contestants. Ms. Bailik appears to be uncomfortable (perhaps nerves?). Just saying!

O
Yeah, they're both fine, but Ken has an easygoing manner, while Mayim seems a bit stiff.

O
It's like she's trying too hard to be witty and liked. Ken's long history with the show, being the G.O.A.T player and the ease in which he hosts gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Also shrill in her tone of voice.

P
And she smugly gives the correct answers. I find her style annoying.
136 37

P
Yep. And she probably wouldn't know the answers to most of the questions without the cards!

You don't have to respond in that manner.

She is literally a genius. Not sure if she's in Mensa, but she has the smarts for it. She is also a bona-fide neuroscientist.
That said, I like Ken as host pbetter.
11
-
G
She's not a genius. She has stated that she did not have the grades to get into medical school. And when she was going to school, she was not acting. She was a full time student. I don't like her because she brings up things about herself every episode. The focus should be on the contestants and the game. She is not Mensa.
3 3
-
O
Mensa is only the top 2%, which is a 132 IQ (Stanford Binet). Not really that lofty. I bet she's smart enough to know that intelligence doesn't necessarily correlate to grades.

-
G
Guess again, by her own admission her grades weren't high enough to get into medical school.
But, yes, Ken is the better host.
2 4
-
B
Actually she's not a genius, in fact she admits that her grades weren't good enough to be accepted into medical school. And she's a self aggrandizing boor.

Yes me also. Can't stand her. I shut show off when she's on there.

She gets on my nerves acting like she knows it all.Please don't pick her.

Smugly gives the answers?? Nobody was more smug than Alex (may he rest in peace.) You just can't take confidence from a woman. Maybe think about why that is.

-
R
Exactly. He has relaxed more and love how he reacts with the contestants
13 5

-
G
Definitely, without one doubt, Ken Jennings. He keeps the game closest to what Alex did and seeing him reminds me of Alex and seems less of a shock that we lost Alex. Also, they were friends and he was Alex’s choice. Alex would be proud.
197 27

C
You clearly know nothing about the situation or how game shows work; they were in no way friends. Ken was a contestant on a show that Alex hosted. Alex did not socialize or have friendships with any of the contestants...ever. This is well known. No friend of Alex's would have ever been allowed to compete on the show, yet Ken has returned time and again to compete while Alex was still alive. Only after being named a consultant did Ken stop competing.

Their friendship began AFTER Ken’s record number of wins.

Been a Jeopardy! fan since the days of Art Fleming but will not watch any more if Bialik is the host. She's condescending to the players, no encouraging words for those not doing great, and the way she twitches her body after everything she says makes my skin crawl. Plus it was unprofessional for her to plug a product using her neuroscientist credentials during one of the breaks.
212 44
-
G
You pretty much describe Jennings
11 21

C
Ken makes me feel like I’m watching a younger Alex. Mayim makes me feel like I’m watching a high school kid trying to look like a college student and failing miserably.
2 1

C
Sounds prejudiced. She’s improved greatly. Both are excellent and interchangeable at this point. Mayim has proven herself to be a real pro.

100%

C
I agree. . Mayims body language is creepy. I'm definitely on team Jennings
32 13
-
G
Absolutely! The one thing that has stood out to me is how she ignores those not doing well. Unprofessional! Ken Jennings should be the host, the only host.
70 17
-
C
But yet when the winner gets close to ken's streak, he intimidates the winner to make them lose! That is what I call a poor sport, and a cheater! That is what I call UNPROFESSIONAL!

G
Ms. Bialik would not have any control as to what commercials are aired during Jeopardy. We all have our different opinions about her and that’s totally fine but to blame her for what commercials are aired is not right.
32 8
-
B
Ms Bialik is very smart look at her resume.She doesn't downplay anyone.
12 8
-
B
Yeah people are ridiculous. Will find anything to say about her.
4 1
-
-
G
I think you somehow missed that Bialik is IN the commercial. She endorsed a the product and specifically cited her neuroscientist credentials. She IS responsible for the content of her own product endorsements.
4 2
-
B
So what? you're telling me you wouldn't do the same? Riiigghht. There is absolutely nothing wrong with bragging about such an outstanding accomplishment nor being in a commerical. Her commerical plays on other channels. The thing that people complain about when theyre judging someone is unreal.

You don't even need a poll to tell you who should be the host. Alex/Sony were grooming Ken to be next in line for the job. Alex had Ken narrate the audiobook version of his memoir, the show's producers hired him as an on-air clue reader in Alex's final months, Ken talked to Alex the day before he passed away about hosting, and Ken received the Trebek family's blessing with the gift of Alex's cufflinks. The show's fans obviously overwhelmingly prefer him, so there really should be no competition.

I am definitely team Jennings! When he hosts, I enjoy the game he is the host and the contestants are the stars. When Bialik hosts, her ultra excitement and comments relating so many of the answers as well as comments to herself and her personal experiences is very distracting from the show. I tune in to watch Jeopardy as I have for years. Not the Mayim Bialik Show. Please keep Ken Jennings. He is a true professional.
150 26

Jennings all the way! Not even close.

Ken is smooth. He leads the show without intruding into it. I’m at ease when Ken at the helm

-
R
Beverly you are spot on! 100 %.
21 6
-
P
Yes. Ken is a joy. The show is smooth and the focus is on the contestants when he hosts. Mayim thinks she is on a sitcom with her jokes and her nods and desire to let the world know she is a scholar are off putting.
14 5
-
C
Totally agree with you. She is a train wreck and her education is irrelevant. Ken is Alex 2.0.

You got it Ken is a joy .. stick lol ... very stiff and no personality

G
My thoughts on Mayim exactly, she’s just toooo! Twee?
6 4
-
-
O
I enjoy Ken so much more - he hosts the show as someone who enjoys the contestants. Mayim seems to always being the star with little regard to the overall program. I was hoping that she would get that the show was not about her! She hasn't!
133 23

O
No Ken just intimidates the winners. To make them nerves so they can't beat his score!

Ken, definitely. He makes it look so easy with additional info on the tip of his tongue.
Very good rapport with the contestants.

Mayim Bialik is a fine person and she assures us, shes very smart and well-educated. She's a TV person. Ken Jennings is the Jeopardy person. Yes, I agree with the poll.

B
If Mayim could maintain a good rhythm, limit her side comments, not constantly interrupt the pace of the game with announcements of score changes, make it seem like she is interested in the contestants during the interviews, carry the show in non-gameplay situations without a teleprompter and/or cards, not constantly make jerky movements on camera, and respond swiftly to contestant responses, she would be a fine host. But she can't do any of that, and she has shown little signs of improvement given ample opportunities. Give Ken the job permanently.
100 21

P
You sure took a loooinggg time stating you like kin. Don’t agree with you one bit. Kin is arrogant & boring as heck.
8 24
-
G
@Jesse It's Ken Jennings, not Kin. I assume you like Mayim, and that's OK. She is fine as an actress. But Ken fades into the background of Jeopardy because the contestants are the stars, not Ken. The bests hosts are not there to shine the light on themselves. Unfortunately, Mayim does not display that; she acts like she is the reason we watch. Maybe she will grow into her night time role; remember she is the host of that. You will still get to enjoy her, just not every day if they choose Ken.

You can pretty much pick out the MB fans by their spelling and grammatical errors. Clearly not Jeopardy enthusiasts.

She's had plenty of time to improve, but I suspect she doesn't want to.

OMG..can't believe how critical you are about Mayim. I am glad we are all not under your scrutiny

Ken just seems to be far more interested in the contestants and buoying them up if they are lagging. He’s also more relaxed but keeps the game on a fast clip. Definitely more enjoyable to watch.

G
I've watched since the Art Fleming daytime version, all through the Trebek years and even last season during the guest host parade. I think Ken is fantastic, different for sure, but I will stop watching for good if Mayim is tapped as the permanent host.
97 20
-
G
Wow. I’m sure they are worried about losing you!

-
O
Definitely Ken Jennings is the best choice for the host of Jeopardy. He's very smooth and knowledgeable and he doesn't try to make any of it about him he focuses on the contestants.
85 12
-
C
Yes, Ken is the voice of Alex in many ways. A real pleasure to watch. Loved him on Master Minds and Chase but he fits Jeophardy best.
79 12
-
O
I have been watching Jeopardy regularly since it was on in the afternoon in New York City. I want to say ‘86 or ‘87. Mayim would probably be the only host who would stop me from being a nightly viewer. I already skip most of her shows.
72 9
-
C
I initially didn't like Mayim more than Ken, but was not swayed either way. When it came out yesterday that she manufactured a controversy (wearing the same outfit twice) to keep her name relevant while awaiting her next batch of episodes to air, I soured on her completely. This is not the type of character fit for a show of high integrity, certainly not in the mold of Alex Trebek. She should apologize to the twitter user OneEclecticMom (Lilly) for rounding up her mob to shame her for running a fun, lighthearted account, which by the way, also tracks everything that Ken wears!

MB is ruthless and relentless; even though she by her own admission is not a fan of Jeopardy. She's just greedy and vain. Alex made $10 million per season, she wants $18 million. She makes me sick.

Hmmm. Jealous maybe?

That the best you can do, Kay/Leo/Jacob? Cheap shots? Mayim sure isn't getting her money's worth paying you to shill.

Glad to see Ken back. Hope he will be permanent host. He earned it.
63 7

G
I don't think I've ever met somebody who's a fan of Mayim hosting in real life. Some I know even refuse to watch the show when she's on. Sometimes I can power through, but often I just fast forward to Final Jeopardy to see who wins the episode. Ken is the better host for sure.
78 23
-
P
I totally agree! I record the program and if she's on I just delete it. I hope the producers settle on Ken so we can get back to enjoying Jeopardy like we did when Alex was on.
51 13

G
I enjoy Mayim Bialik’s hosting. She seems to truly love the show. She is obviously intelligent. They don’t just hand out Ph.D’s in neuroscience to everyone. She would have worked very hard to earn her doctorate. I also enjoy Ken Jennings. As long as one of them is chosen as host I will be happy.
12 21
-
C
So she has a doctorate degree . What does that have anything to do with being a great host of Jeopardy ?
12 2
-
-
-
B
I completely agree that Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. I don't watch the show when Ms. Bailik is hosting, even the special editions. Ken is comfortable in the host's position and he cares about the contestants.
53 6
-
B
You know this how?
4 28
-
-
G
Ken hands down. He knows how the contestants are feeling and I’m sure Alex would have picked him. Takes the intent and content of the game seriously but adds a little humor here and there.
51 4
-
B
Alex hated him. It wasn’t even his show.
3 31
-
O
Yes, Alex hated Ken so much that he asked him to narrate his autobiography, read clues on the show and was the last contestant he talked to mere hours before he passed away. Mayim's fans are unhinged.
24 3

-
-
B
One thing not reported in this article is how much of a landslide it was for Ken in the comment section of that initial poll. He won with “only” 70% of the votes, but probably had 90% of the commenters on his side.
53 8
-
R
Ken all the way, he makes the contestants appear to be more at ease and has a good delivery!
55 10
-
G
When Alex was no longer able to host, we knew that whoever succeeded him would be a step down. But Mayim Bialik is the equivalent of getting thrown down an elevator shaft.
46 3
-
G
Ken Jennings! He's professional, has a great sense of humor that isn't 'over the top' or annoying, knows how to pronounce difficult names & words & can relate to any player. He's a close match to the professionalism & ease that Alex brought to the game. I'll continue to watch forever with Ken at the helm.
55 12
-
P
Agree
3 4

-
O
KEN JENNINGS is the GOAT. He has proven he knows how the game is played by winning seventy four ( 74 ) games and he has proven himself as the HOST. He should definitely be name PERMANENT HOST.
51 8

C
Jennings has won many more than 74 games. Should he really be NAME host???

-
R
We have had Jeopardy on the DVR for years so we can watch as a family with our varied schedules. When It’s not Ken doing the hosting, we just delete it without watching.
53 11
-
B
Then you truly do not appreciate the game itself. I am not a Ken fan at all, but I am a Jeopardy fan and never miss it.
11 14
-
G
I am a fan of baseball but I only follow one team. As a lover of ice cream, I dislike many flavors. To say a Jeopardy fan is not genuine because we do not watch when (our opinion) of an annoying host is on, is narrow-minded. Sometimes I can't watch a contestant, either. Ken displays respect for the game and its players where Mayim is condescending and sometimes rude. He is a nice guy. He is humble and witty; he deserves the permanent job. Mayim already accepted the night job; she does not deserve it all. Her college tournament was terrible. We, too, deleted her recordings without watching.

G
Agree completely Wendy. I even suffered through LaVar Burton butchering the hosting duties...never miss an episode. Great game show.

So true! I am no Ken fan either. He’s too awkward and insincere, but I do enjoy the show.

I agree with poll...Ken all the way!!!

Mayim lost us when she admitted she wasn't a fan of the show and didn't watch it until the job became available. This isn't just another gig, and putting the show into the hands of somebody so apathetic would be a travesty for the fans and to the legacy of Alex Trebek.
43 6

G
Ken Jennings all the way. He is so calm and doesn't act like a know it all,
although he has every right to. I agree with Paula, he is the most like Alex.
39 4

O
Absolutely Ken, he has been apart it it since his win, knows how the contestant feel & can relate to them. I really enjoy watching when he is hosting.
39 4

P
Absolutely needs to be Ken Jennings. He has got it down to a smooth rhythm throughout the game and is very relatable to the contestants since he was one of the game’s greatest so far.
43 8

O
Ken Jennings by far. If Bailik gets it I will no longer watch Jeopardy.
41 6
-
O
Ken Jennings--no contest!!
34
-
O
Totally Team Ken!!! Mayim gives me the heebeejeebies, I don’t like anything about her personal style. Just seems like a lark to her, and I think the “single Jeopardy” business just shows the (lack of) respect for the show and its traditions. (And yes I am female…)
36 2
-
B
Do you think she has control over a multi billion dollar enterprise? That’s not her
25
-
-
G
First I would like to say that if Mayim got the position that I would not stop watching Jeopardy. However I do feel that Ken has this "Jeopardy Gift" in his sincerity with the contests, his banter with them and Ken's overall excitement for them and the game. Ken definitely has my vote.
39 5

C
If Ken isn’t the host I will be on social media instead.
I seldom watch TV but if’s not Ken I have better things to do.

Who ever thought that Bialik would be good had to be crazy. I've watched Jeopardy! ever since Art Fleming was on. But every time that she shows up and hosts, I simply skip it.

Funny “Kelly”. But I never thought Ken would be good & I was right. He looks like Howdy Doodie.

definently voting for Ken!!!

B
Ken is by far the better choice for permanent host. His relationship with Alex went far beyond the show. Ken respected Alex just as much as Alex respected Ken.
40 7
-
O
Mayim seems to be playing the part of a host instead of actually being the host. She has the same attitude and demeanor on the show as she does on the Neuriva commercial.
40 8

R
I agree. She seems to be ACTING as a host rather than BEING a host, two very different things. She doesn't seem "natural" if you know what I mean.

I vote Ken Jennings. He was Alex’s choice
43 11
-
G
KEN
31
-
R
Ken knows the game show in and out. He has also been the face of Jeopardy forever. Mayim has never been on jeopardy until after Alex died. So she should not be the permanent host, it should be Ken. Just saying Ken all the way.
34 3
-
G
My whole family has watched Jeopardy.
for so many years. My mom, now 88 watches every night and is upset when football takes over and they do not run the show. She does not like watching when Mayim Bialik is trying to host. We vote for Ken Jennings. Much like Alex Trebek and the wonderful job he hosted through so many years Ken is calm, smart and a total gentleman.
Mayim Bialik fidgety, cannot stand still, at times has a condescending attitude tone when she gives the replies to contestants. She needs fashion help also. I hope we get Ken!

Mayim is like a fish trying to trying to play basketball.

Prominent contestants such as Amy Schneider have come out to endorse Ken, and others such as Matt Amodio have said their biggest regret was not being able to compete with him hosting. I don’t remember any such comments from people on the show in support of Mayim. I think their input might be even more valuable than the viewers.
38 7

Austin Rogers has said on multiple occasions that he supports Ken as well.

Ken has settled into the role very well. He's comfortable, and he makes us feel comfortable.

WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ?
Why does the owners of the show have to take a survey ?
Are they that stupid ?

35 4

B
Ken Jennings is by FAR the Best host. I Love his sense of humor, and interaction with contestants. Very good "replacement" for Alex. If Mayim is hosting, I Don't watch.
35 5
-
O
The supplement Mayim advertises for was in a class action lawsuit for, get this, false advertising. She refused to dissociate herself from the brand. If she can't be a trusted "science ambassador" why should we trust her as a purveyor of truth on Jeopardy!? I guess money speaks much louder than sincerity.
32 2
-
G
Ken knows the game inside and out, moves it along expertly, makes kind of quick strategy and overall Jeopardy comments that arguably only he can do. He’s found an even deeper hosting groove since beginning the semi-fulltime run last fall. The games Ken hosts are either authentically more exciting because of his hosting or they Seem more exciting …either way it’s a win for the viewer.
Mayim is competent & professional. At first I didn’t care for her but have come to casually enjoy her shows. I don’t skip them or fast forward them (usually). It’s still Jeopardy, the game is the star. But Mayim seems more like a pleasantly professional-onlooker. If there were no Ken Jennings Mayim would probably be ok.
Bit Ken is there and he’s killing it. The choice is obvious. Pretty sure Ken & Sony know this and are working to make it so.

Something Ken exceeds at, like Alex, is making it believable that he knows the correct responses to the clues. Mayim looks like she is reading everything for the first time.

I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice to host Jeopardy permanently. He’s easy going with a great sense of humor. He has warmth & intelligence & makes the game fun! He gets my vote. My TV was on another channel when he wasn’t hosting!

P
We’ve been watching since Art. If Bialik gets this we’re done.

Totally agree. He was Alex Trebek’s choice. She’s…well Blossom.

As soon as Johnny announces Mayim and she trots onstage with the grace of a water buffalo, we quickly switch to Family Feud. If we’re fast enough, we can usually get to the show before Steve reads the first question

Ken is the one for the job. He has the personality and experience needed for the job. We enjoy watching him. Please let him be the new HOST
30 1

G
Definitely Ken

R
Ken Jennings without a doubt! Even or an incorrectl answer he has a way of not making a contestant feel bad. He's your regular guy with a natural demeanor and presentation. I usually change the channel when Mayim is hosting. Can't wait till the show starts with "Here's the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings."
32 3

C
It’s Ken for sure. I feel sorry for the for the people that don’t agree.
Can’t understand that mature adults would think otherwise.

Definitely Ken for Permanent Host! She is more actress than host and she is more impressed with how smart she is. Ken for Permanent Host!!!

Yet if you notice she has to check the answer to see if they're right.

Definitely Ken. He’s a natural.
Mayim is a distraction and Alex wouldn’t want that.
The show should be about the contestants.
36 7
-
B
Of the two, I am completely for Jennings. Bialik is just awful as host. She's stiff, boring, and lacks personality. She just isn't a good fit. At least Jennings is funny, but I actually think the producers should look for someone currently unknown instead of trying to fill the spot with a celebrity.

Ken Jennings is far superior to Mayim in every way.

Here's the difference: Ken embodies the spirit of Jeopardy - it runs in through his veins. Mayim is there to collect a paycheck.
Ken all the way! Alex Trebek would have been so proud of him as a host!

O
I agree with the poles overwhelmingly. Miss Mayim portrays herself as the star of the show; and often, she forgets to give the response as a question.

I vote for Ken Jennings. Although I like Mayim Bialik, Ken Jennings has a more professional and engaging presence. I also like his sense of humor.
34 7

G
I like Mayim and her peppy/upbeat personality but also think that it clashes with the tone of the show. She actually would do a great job on The Chase. I think Ken is better for Jeopardy though. Plus it helps that he had a professional relationship and personal friendship with Alex.

Ken Jennings gets my vote. When Alex died, the heart went out of Jeopardy for me. I did not think I would be able to tolerate this program without him. With an open mind I watched all of the guest hosts and there was no comparison. Alex said that the contestants were the stars of Jeopardy and that always stuck with me. Only a humble person would acknowledge that their role was supplementary. Ken displays that same humility. Mayim does not fade into the background; she highlights herself at every opportunity. It is offensive that she feels the need to discuss her educational credentials; they are not a prerequisite for the job. She tells us maybe we can "think bigger" as she promotes a dubious supplement for those of us born less smart than she. Mayim can't simply say "yes" when a contestant has the right question. She uses their time by repeating "That is correct", insert a pause, and finally she processes if they were right or not. Ken is as close to Alex as we will get and they need to commit to him and stop this foolish waiting game.

Ken Jennings 100 %

G
KEN JENNINGS WITHOUT A DOUBT! From a multi-generational family of Jeopardy
loyalists! He was Alex' pick from the start. Ken is a round peg just naturally and perfectly fitting into the round hole; no shaving here, no adding (changing) there for him. His opponent does not fit. She is a square peg, being both, whittled and added, to "accomodate" what the round hole requires....and it cant be done; though shes trying every trick they can think of- Blaik`s really like nails on a chalkboard for my family.

G
For me, a long time Jeopardy fan, Ken Jennings is the only option. He keeps the true spirit of the game intact. He's knowledgeable, speaks so all can understand him, makes the contestants the most important part of the show.
33 7
-
P
Absolutely Ken Jennings! He has more history with Alex, and think he will carry on Alex Trebek's legacy honorably. I don't like Mayim because she is too overzealous, and tries way too hard, which shows on the show. Don't like some of the snarky comments she has made. If she is made host, I will no longer watch the show.

Agree 100%

I wasn't to sure about Ken at first because I liked Buzzy Cohen but I find him to be a very interesting host, and truly believe Alex would've been pleased with him being chosen as the permanent host.

Buzzy was my favorite, too. But I have come to like Ken as host. My husband and brother share a Jeopardy-watching group text. And they know how much Mayim annoys me so much as host.

Ken for sure!

Ken is my choice for both permanent host and any primetime specials surrounding the series Jeopardy. He understands the nuances of questions and the "soul" of the show, whereas Mayim has a nice personality but not the deep understanding of the show; she has talents that lie elsewhere that will serve her well. Please give the permanent nod to Ken Jennings!

Mayim's PR is out in full force with her blitzkrieg of TV interviews and coordinated censorship of dissenters throughout the internet. I don't know a single person who likes her as a host, but I know the executives will feel good because they hired a woman. Just a shame that they couldn't find a competent one.

Ken Jennings is the best person for the job without a doubt. I also feel that Alex Trebek would say the same as well.

I definitely agree that Ken Jennings should be the permanent Jeopardy host.

I think this decision is well over due.Its almost two years since Alex pasting. Ken is the perfect host and should be offered permanent host. This back and forth is ridiculous.

Definitely Ken Jennings. Even the contestants on the show preferr Jennings, especially those who end up winning multiple games often saying that Jennings knows exactly how they are feeling having been in their position before.

And how is it, that you know the contestants feelings? I too would prefer Ken Jennings, but just curious as to your comments.

Please, please, please....Ken Jennings is FANTASTIC!
Each time Mayim hosts, she spends way too much time trying to be cute and clever!
Ken is a natural. He knows how and when to host ...and when to step back.
Anytime Mayim us on, I change the channel after just a few minutes. Please don't stick us with Mayim! I'm afraid you'd lose a lot of viewership! From friends I've talked to, everyone is Pro Ken and hoping Mayim is dropped...soon.

Mayim has ridiculed female sexual assault victims and said they brought it on themselves. So, google the photo of her breast feeding her 3 year old son on the subway! Research the details on her marriage [not the divorce]. The entire family slept in the same room on beds on the floor! It gets more bizarre, look it up.

Ken, hands down. He has grown into some pretty big shoes, very nicely. I previously sent you an email, not too long ago, in support of Ken. Originally, I did not like Ken, at all. He has surprisingly evolved into a great host.
Sorry, Mayim doesn't flow well with the show, she's critical of contestants, rigid, uncomfortable even at this stage. Not in tune with small talk.
I dread when Mayim has her turn, and don't want to watch the show when she is host. She simply is not a good fit.

No one sees his arrogance? Can’t watch the show when he’s hosting.

Why do the majority of new comments defending Mayim come in attacking Ken supporters with every -ism in the book? I don’t care that Mayim is a woman, Jewish, a PhD, etc. Those are all qualities that can’t be changed but simply put, she is the inferior host between the two.

I'm curious to know if Jeopardy/Sony pays attention to this strong reaction of Jeopardy fans. It boggles my mind how clueless they've been in passing over the most obvious and perfect choice, the one and only true heir- Mr. Jeopardy GOAT himself- Ken Jennings. To see the outpouring of support in favor of Ken to permanently take over hosting duties really makes me so, so happy! I don't watch TV, except for Jeopardy- so I literally was dancing on the job when I learned of Ken coming back to save the show once again!! This world is in need of truth and authenticity and I'm beyond thrilled to see a sliver of that each night while watching Ken host Jeopardy. My husband and I enjoy our nightly game show now more than ever thanks to Ken's witty humor and friendly dignity that he brings to the podium. I can't wait for the big announcement- I'm gonna celebrate with a toast to the new permanent host of ALL Jeopardy shows and specials.. Mr. Ken Jennings!!
ps.. be kind to Mayim.. we're all human beings and no need to post hurtful comments.

There is something about Mayim that just doesn't sit well with me and perhaps as others have said it's her body language along with the sound of her voice and sometimes being a bit too cutesy. I tried for several shows but now just don't bother to watch when she is hosting. I'm sure she's a nice person and talented in her chosen profession but Jeopardy and her just don't work for me.

Mayim is a jarring note. She just is not a comfortable replacement for Alex. This pc crap of replacing long-time TV show hosts with a minority or a woman regardless of whether they are the best fit is just plain stupid.

Ken is the one.

Mayim Bialik’s hiring, even on an interim basis, is proof that mediocrity is rewarded by Hollywood for identity politics at the expense of actual talent.

Not true. Her new movie As They Made Us is outstanding regardless if you like her or not. The acting is the best I’ve seen in years. Wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t Oscar nominations. The movie is that good.

What about Mayim Bialik is mediocre? That she’s a women who may not be as conventionally attractive as the women you old white dudes are used to watching on TV? That she has an actual PhD in neuroscience (a feat that is BEYOND challenging, especially as a women man in science - I speak from experience).
Quit blaming things challenge your world view on “identity politics”. It’s lazy.

B
Alex can never be replaced, but Ken does a far better job than Mayim at carrying on the spirit of the show, which is about the contestants, the love of trivia, and good-hearted competition. It's not about your post-graduate degrees, that you know what "Ibid" means from your dissertation, that everything is an opportunity to sneak in an anecdote about your life or your spin on life by making up silly things like "Single" Jeopardy. Ken keeps the show at a good pace because he already knows the answers and is in sync with the players' expectations from having been a contestant himself. Mayim mispronounces terms, hesitates to confirm the answers, and interjects/adds too much after each question-answer to the point that the contestants frequently cannot finish the boards. She is charming in her own way, but she does not fit the show if it intends to keep Alex's legacy alive. I hope to hear Johnny introduce Ken as "host" rather than "hosting" Jeopardy soon!

I think Ken Jennings is hands down the right person to replace Alex Trebeck as the host of Jeopardy. His rhythm is flawless, and he is friendly to the Contestants, makes them feel at ease and is very comfortable in the role. I'm not a fan of Mayim at all. I feel like she is trying to draw attention to herself and is a distraction not an asset.
26 6
-
O
Ken by a long shot. She is slow to respond after the "questions" whether correct or not. Ken is very professional and does an excellent job of interacting with the contestants.
22 2

O
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Have loved Ken Jennings from day one, it's about time!!
21 1
-
C
Ken's rapport with the contestants is so much better. I remember one episode where Mayim responded to a contestant mentioning that he spent some time in Alaska helping his brother's boating business and she said, "That sounds fishy to me" or something like that. Yeah, she has a lot of acting gigs she should just be satisfied with. Ken is not only knowledgeable and more comfortable with the contestants, he really deserves the job.

Ken is the leader By Far. He's professional and makes it about the contestants. Far more wise and mature than the other.

Ken Jennings for sure. So much more empathy with the contestants and able to come up with smart and suitable comments.

Ken Jennings, has more than enough votes to be the next host of Jeopardy! Now all depends of what the producers think, but my humble opinion, Ken should be the permanent host of Jeopardy!

Ken Jennings of course! I simply can't watch when Mayim is on.

If Mayim is chosen it will be the death of jeopardy. Ken has so much personality. Mayim comes across condescending and seems negative with the contestants when they answer incorrectly. Like she can’t believe that they didn’t know the answer. Her delivery is not smooth like Ken’s. I am so happy that the majority voted for Ken.
22 3

Stop torturing us with all the ups and downs of the hosting position.. Ken Jennings deserves the job of permanent host. He's smart , funny, and professional in all aspects of the show. He makes the contestants feel comfortable and encourages them all thru the game. I truly respect him and I admire his love of the show by doing all the extra work with numbers and odds and just the interesting facts that he relates each time he's on. Give him the job and stop teasing the fans with the mystery of who and deliver the best to us with him. Nuff said. Let's concentrate on jeopardy giving us the best they have to continue Alex's legacy. Ken all the way!

Ken Jennings definitely gets my vote. Weather the powers that be get it or not. Ken Jennings was Alex's pick to be his successor. He Groomed him for it. Ken deserves to have the job. He knows what is expected of him. Most of all he is passionate about the game.

I totally agree with the poll. Ken Jennings all the way.

IMO Mayim is flaky. She has bizarre ideas about life, parenting etc., is critical of people for things she too has done, and has no idea how to do anything without flattering herself. She says she never watched Jeopardy until there was a search for a new host. Who wants that for the smartest game on TV?

I liked Mayim when she was young on BLOSSOM, and older on BIG BANG, but I do not like her 1/2 hour show on the air presently, and I do not like her on

Ken makes one feel like Alex is still there.
He is doing a fantastic job, and is very professional.
Even though Mayim is the actual TV professional, this is not her thing.
They are both brilliant, but the poll tells it like it is !!!
JEOPARDY - what else do you need to see Ken is the man you need to fill Alex's shoes ?!?!?!

I like Mayim Bialik on Big Bang Theory. As the Jeopardy host, not so much. My vote is for Ken. (My hubby's, too)

Are you ready for this??? Mayim Bialik is asking for $18 million per season of Jeopardy which is MORE than Alex Trebek was paid! Talk about delusions of adequacy!

B
From the beginning, I felt that Ken Jennings would be the obvious successor to fill the enormous shoes of Alex Trebek. While there will NEVER be another Alex, the choice seems clear as day to me and Ken has only served to prove me right, that Ken Jennings should be the permanent host of Jeopardy. Have Mayim host when Ken competes in the ultimate championship games (I know, he couldn't possibly compete anymore) but enough of this nonsense and put Ken in his rightful place already.

I always tape Jeopardy, but if Mayim is hosting I delete it without watching. I am rooting for KEN!

Mayim takes every opportunity to remind contestants and viewers that she has a doctorate in neuroscience. I'll never forget the remark she made to the contestants about how great it is that they were so smart, as if this was a surprise to her. Very condescending.

Ken Jennings. Sorry Mayim is just . . Dare I say, phony? She may not be, but I see her as an actor who, in the quick recording of the shows, seems to be a broadway understudy thrown on stage without knowing her lines and dancing as hard as she can to be the one to win the role permanently. It makes her come off as very stiff and not an active listener. You can clearly see it in the interview portions of the show, she asks a question, doesn’t listen to the answer, as she’s just waiting to move on to the next contestant. I wanted to like her very much, but just can’t. This is not a role for an actor, but a host, which Ken is the consummate host.

Bialik adds nothing to the game -- no wit, no insight. She screams inappropriately for the Daily Doubles and she states the obvious throughout the show: "So close!" she told a contestant who guessed "Jackie Mason" instead of "Jackie Gleason." "You're now on the board!" "You've just taken the lead" "Ooh, a true Daily Double" ... all of that is readily known to the audience before she states it. Ken is the opposite: he is measured, like Alex, and what he says is insightful.
19 2

O
No question. It should be Ken Jennings. He is very knowledgeable and natural in the role. His comments are usually spot on and he focuses on the contestants , not himself. He’s just a lot better and more natural than Mayim

Ken Jennings is the best, I only watch it when he is hosting, turn it off when she is hosting it.

They might as well cancel the show if Mayim is permanent host. Thousands of people will stop watching it because of her. Plus, she sounds like a carnival barker and delivers her comments like she's on a 1980s sitcom.

I prefer Ken Jennings. He presented the questions more like a professional.

C
I like Ken Jennings.

G
MayIm is too slow confirming or rejecting answers! Contestants start giving alternate answers because they think their original answer was not correct. She also thinks that she is a bag of chips!
18 2
-
B
KEN .... All the way!
17 1
-
O
Ken brings Alex back to me in the most pleasant and positive way. Mayim can sometimes feel like nails on a chalkboard.
19 3

P
Kin is like nails on a chalkboard what are you talking about?

P
Absolutely Ken should be the one.
17 1

C
Ken Jennings, the hands down best host!
17 1
-
G
Ken for sure. She seems phony.
16
-
B
I vote for Ken, 100%!
16
-
G
Ken, hands down. So much more comfortable as host.
17 1

G
Biggest thing is her severe and stressful personality! Her smile is hard, too forced and not genuine. It seems she cant wait to get done and get rid of the character she has to fake. No amount of make up, nor changing of hair style, nor changing demeanor to "try out for the role" works on the stage; viewers can see, hear, feel the stressful, unnatural attempt at the part that Blaik exhibits and exudes-its palatable. The show has lost its appeal with her. You just have to get away from the stress of her, so we change the channel. Jeopardy was laidback, inviting, encouraging, you always felt Alex could be your best friend. My family was watching it 50 years ago, 7 o`clock, after dinner. Jeopardy was enticing for the viewers to successfully get the answers right. We had fun. That was the appeal and a major reason for the unprecedented length of it's running! When Blaik hosts, it's no longer comfortable. We feel she's not rooting for the contestants. She's not enticing the viewing audience- even the opposite. It's like she doesnt really like us - just wants the power position. You cant "learn" this stuff - either you have the rthymn (fit the part) or you aren't cast. Ratings will tank with Blaik.

Ken all the way. He’s gotten better the longer he’s been on.
17 1
-
C
Ken Jennings, hands down, there should be no question.
Please...the sooner the better. I skip the show when I know Mayim is guest hosting...I like her, just NOT on Jeopardy.
17 1
-
G
I am sure there is another person who can host . I think Ken is to dry with little personality but there will never be another Alex.
16
-
G
Buzzy Cohen!
-
-
C
Mayim is an enigma in that for all her education, she still comes across as unintelligent. Look up some of her several off-camera controversies for proof.
16
-
C
She makes far too many grammatical errors!
-
-
R
Ken Jennings! I always watch when he is the host. When Bialik is on I change the channel to a different show. I do not watch prime when she is on. It is her mannerisms that are not pleasant to watch.
I miss Alex and believe he would want Ken to host ALL the shows, including any prime time shows.
19 3
-
R
Does anyone else notice they introduce her as "And now the host of Jeopardy" and him as "And now hosting Jeopardy" Not a big difference, but I think it's weird they are announced different as it makes it sound as if she is already the Host and not just hosting. I pick Ken by the way
19 3
-
C
and if she becomes the host the program will be gone in a year or two.
6 2
-
G
I read an explanation of that. Technically it is correct since they named her as the host of Jeopardy - The Night Version. Ken is viewed as a guest host until they choose between them. Team Ken all the way!
3 1
-
-
R
Definitely Ken Jennings!!! I will not watch Jeopardy if Mayim Bialick is the host. I turn it off now when she is hosting.
19 3
-
R
100% agree…Ken all the way!
20 4
-
C
If Ken had not come out on top, I would not continue enjoying Jeopardy! Ken has all the qualities needed and is by far the best!
17 2
-
G
What qualities. His voice is grating, frozen smile. I could go on but I’m being nice.
2 19
-
R
No, Leo. You're just being Jacob today.
13
-
G
His most important quality is that he isn't Mayim Bialik. That's good enough for me.
7 1
-
-
-
G
Ken Jennings is the best. Do not really care for Ms. Bialik as hostess. Glad to head Ken got the job.
17 2
-
P
Ken Jennings is the better host. His empathy with contestants feels genuine, and his comments are erudite as well as entertaining.
18 3
-
G
Ken Jennings way over that abrasive woman Ms Bialik.
16 1
-
O
Ken Jennings is by far the better host. I'm rooting for him.
17 2
-
G
Ken Jennings for sure, so much better than Mayim, he has a good handle on the on the players and is spot on with his comments.
18 3
-
O
Ken by far. He is the heir apparent.
16 1
-
R
Ken Jennings is by far our families favorite.
16 1
-
G
Mayim should be renamed Alexa, as in Amazon Alexa, because she has a similar tone of voice and robotic personality.
16 1
-
O
Will not watch if Mayims host
15
-
O
Time for a change. Alex had the gig for what 25 years or more. Time for a change, let a female take over and who better than Sheldon's main squeeze. Lol. Couldn't resist. Pat Jennings will exceed no matter where he goes. Not that she wouldn't, I'm just saying. Sign her to 1 year Contract see how she feels n how well it goes during this time and go from there. Or sign her to a 3 yr contract and by the end of that time if she wants out you got Mr Cheesehead himself Aaron Rodgers freed up from his contract and there's your new man. Ken won't make himself available once you choose her anyway. He'll be off to bigger n better things in no time. And he's nobody's puppet. He's a very very bright man and deserves the job. But since you asked I gave you my choice and then choices down the road. Peace good luck..
18 3
-
O
Ken, please. Mayim spends the entire show celebrating her self importance. She's insufferable. And, because she has stated she has no interest in trivia , her contempt for the genre and the contestants is thinly veiled.
17 2
-
G
I dislike Mayim's inclination to ridicule incorrect responses, whereas Ken uses the opportunity to teach the contestants, very much in the same vain as Alex. We are also among the (many?) families who has started to skip watching her episodes.
17 2
-
R
Ken Jennings is, by far, the host I would choose. Furthermore, his presentation on the show is much more alike that of the beloved Alex Trebek.
17 2
-
B
Definitely Ken Jennings! Not the same show when he is not there. Mayim is a very smart woman but not a fit. Ken is always dressed appropriately and well groomed and professional with just the right amount of humor. Mayim does not present that image and her attempts to be funny usually are awkward. Jeopardy is not the usual game show and it takes a special kind of individual. She is not it. Can’t watch when she is there. Hopefully Ken will be named soon!
17 2
-
C
As a woman, I cringe when people say that Mayim should be the host because she's a woman. The best person for the job should become the host, and unfortunately for her, that person is not Mayim. She is a distracting presence and difficult to watch.
19 4
-
C
Well said Sarah. I totally agree.
2 2
-
-
G
Ken..for sure. He's funny pleasant and easy...makes the show enjoyable in the same way Alex did..comfortable.
17 2
-
B
Absolutely agree Jennings doing a great job, doesn't make mistakes, easy manner with the contestants, remembers the right things to say for example to assure people with lower scores that they can bet up to $1000 on Jeopardy, or $2000 on 2nd half.
18 3
-
B
Right things to say give me a break. Anytime Mayim opens her mouth the Ken Jennings trolls from his church jump all over her. So much for Christian people saying nice things. They should be ashamed.
4 10
-
C
I bet if you replaced "Christian" with "Muslim", you wouldn't live to see the end of it. Literally.
4
-
G
Not sure how religion plays into this, except to you. I read this whole thread and this was the first referral to a church. Mayim may be good at many things, but as a Jeopardy host, she is not. With all of the problems in the world today, I doubt Ken Jennings' congregation are padding this voting poll.
3
-
-
-
G
Myaim sounds rehearsed and phony cheerful. She doesn't sound spontaneous and talks with a high voice. If she is chosen the permanent host I won't watch Jeopardy anymore.
14
-
O
Sooo!
8
-
G
To me, she sounds like the library lady reading to toddlers at Story Time. She over emphasizes to keep the kid's attention. We're grownups, dial it back.
3
-
-
C
Wouldn't that indicate that there are more Ken fans than Mayim fans? So either way Ken wins.
15 1
-
P
I am all in for Ken Jennings! Closest host we will ever get to Alex Tribek. Ken brings the smile back to my face, that Alex used to.
15 1
-
O
Please let it be Jennings or I will not watch
16 2
-
G
I will not wath the program when she is hosting. Ken is very good. Every guest host was twice as good as Mayid. As a forty year fan of Jeopardy, I will never watch if she is full time host!
16 2
-
C
Here's a thought: Have a special episode of Jeopardy, the contestants would be Ken, Buzzy Cohen and Mayim, standard categories and winner gets the hosting job exclusively. And let one of the past guest hosts [Faber, Burton etc.] moderate.
16 2
-
O
Great idea! The guys would mop the floor with her. Whatever it takes to get rid of her, I'm in. If the producers want a woman, get Brooke Burns.
14 4
-
B
What a sexist comment. Get with it.
4 14
-
B
You do realize you're a joke on here, right?
7 2
-
C
Right? These comments are all grossing me out, but this one was the worst. “The guys would mop the floor with her”. Seriously???
Also, it definitely feels like most of y’all have written off Mayim with statistically limited opportunities vs Ken. By many commentators’ own admittance, the majority of you all simply don’t watch or “immediately erase” episodes Mayim is hosting. It felt slightly sexist at first (yes, even from the women! Whoa, women can be sexist? Whaaaaa?), but this gross comment confirmed my initial impression.
1 5
-
G
Mop the floor is a non gender specific figure of speech regarding trouncing an opponent. Don't read other factors into it.
5
-
C
The single poster using the names Leo/Jacob/Kay/etc. will take exception or grasp at any straw to refute any pro Ken post. They[he/she] must be exhausted, not to mention coming off their spool.
3
-
-
-
-
R
Mayim would never agree to do a show like that. She'd know that Buzzy and Ken would leave her eating their dust.
5
-
-
R
Wow! That would draw 10 million viewers! Someone forward the idea to SONY stat.
11 2
-
-
B
I have watched both. Ken is relaxed and flows well. Mayim seems to stiff and robotic as if she is trying to act the part.
16 2
-
O
Ken is just a around better. He's more pleasant to watch and just better at hosting the show.
17 3
-
G
Ken Jennings is far and away the best. She is not genuine but seems to only want to promote herself!
15 1
-
C
I find it difficult to watch when Mayim is hosting the show. To me it feels like she is talking to toddlers. She just doesn't have a natural flow to her through out the show. Not sure that condescending is the appropriate word to use. But she's just hard to watch and listen to.
18 4
-
G
Ken Jennings by a mile!
16 2
-
O
Ken should be chosen. Mayim makes me ill and I turn the show off when she is hosting.
16 2
-
G
I believe Ken Jennings is the only choice to be the permanent host. He displays the same professionalism as our beloved Alex. When Malik is hosting I do not watch the show. She definately doesn t come close to filling Alex s shoes.
18 4
-
G
I love Mayim but think Ken is a better fit. I love Mayim’s comedy show, Call me Kat. Would love to see that show continue!
16 2
-
P
I think it should be ken
15 1
-
O
Ken Jennings 100%!
15 1
-
G
Thrilled that Jennings will be host..
15 1

B
Your just throwing flame throwers now. What are You going to do if Mayim is the one & only host? Stick that in your pipe & smoke it. Oh sorry. I heard you don’t smoke.
1 17
-
-
P
Jennings for sure. Mayim makes too many errors in English language to be excused! Jennings is becoming more relaxed and approachable with time. She makes snap decisions that aren’t entirely correct, which I’ve not noticed with Ken.
19 5
-
C
I'm glad someone else has noticed Mayim's grammatical errors! Very grating!
4 2
-
-
O
Ken Jennings is as smooth and natural as Alex Trebek. He should be the permanent host. Bialek should remain as the specials host.
15 1
-
G
Ken Jennings
14
-
R
I agree with Ken Jennings. I used to like Mayim cannot stand her now. She has not demonstrated what a true host should be, which is letting your contestants shine not you.
14
-
C
Ken is better. Alex wanted him. You can tell
15 1
-
O
Ken is hands down the best fit. I don't even watch when B is hosting. If she gets the permanent job I will loose the show. I just don't like her in this. She's a bit snobby and sounds critical of the contestants when they don't get the answer.
15 1
-
G
Ken Jennings is the best one to become the new host. I watched his original run in complete admiration for his wealth of knowledge.
15 1
-
R
Ken Jennings. If Mayim is hosting I turned the channel. Clearly the long time audience has spoken.
16 2
-
O
Seems that there are two types of comments here: Pro-Ken comments and people complaining about the poll being rigged against Mayim. That should tell you everything you need to know. Ken is Alex Trebek's rightful successor.
15 1
-
O
Ken Jennings is a much better fit to be permanent host. Much more relaxed.
17 3
-
P
Ken Jennings 100%
15 1
-
G
Go Ken Jennings! I totally agree he should be the host! If they pick Bialik, I’ll stop watching Jeopardy!
17 3
-
O
Ken by a mile. Mayim is also extremely intelligent but distracts from contestants and show, has annoying habits and will not "wear well" over time.
19 5
-
O
Definitely Ken. He is great at it.
16 2
-
O
Definitely Ken Jennings! He has come a long way since he first hosted. I think he is great!!
13
-
O
Ken Jennings gets my vote hands down.
13
-
O
I agree Ken should be permanent host
13
-
G
Ken is the best
14 1
-
G
I think Ken is perfect as host. Though I don't mind Bialik, I just love Ken. He is charming and funny, as well as technically accurate. His voice seems made for the job. Besides, it seems natural to pass the torch from Alex the GOAT host to Ken the GOAT contestant.
15 2
-
P
When Ken first started, he was awkward. I really enjoy him now! He's a pro, in every way. Mayim, on the flip side, seems to 'appear' as if she's superior to the contestants. And her bobbing her head/neck to the left and right truly bothers me. My entire family can do that also, but almost never do. It's just irritating.
15 2
-
B
She will be causing herself whiplash…just waiting for that.
1 1
-
-
O
Jennings
14 1
-
B
Mayam although very intelligent is too woke for me. Ken doesn't show anything but professionalism and intellect
15 2
-
O
Alex earned $10 million per season. Mayim wants $18 million, so she must believe she's
worth two of Alex or nearly so. What an ego! She's insufferable.
14 1
-
C
IMO if they paid her what she's worth, she'd owe them money.
13 1
-
-
P
Ken is by far the best host. I find it difficult to even watch when Mayim is hosting. I really miss Ken.
15 2
-
P
Yes I love Ken and ever wanted him to be Jeopardy's permanent host.
14 1
-
R
I would love Buzzy Cohen to host, he's so likable and funny. But between Ken and Bialik I'd vote for Ken!
14 1
-
P
I have always thought that ken has a natural intelligence to make references to any answers that come across as natural knowledge rather than reading from a cue card.
His quick whit keeps the show interesting and like Alex understood why a constant may choose a wrong answer and has valid outside reference while remaining humble.
Mayim tries to hard to be accepted and liked and it is obvious
14 1
-
O
Ken for sure… she is just rude and condescending.
13
-
P
Between advertising for brain pills that do not work and pretending that she likes hosting Jeopardy for anything besides the pay, Mayim Bialik is a walking fraud.
13
-
C
It should be Ken Jennings
14 1
-
O
I agree that Gary Gleason nailed it. Ken has the spirit for the show. I would choose Ken regardless of the prejudice I feel toward Mayim because of the commercials she is in. She tells people that she is a neuroscientist, and drug she pushes is backed by science.
I feel that lots of old people are throwing their money away because of that. It feels unethical.
14 1
-
O
Not to mention that if she's this brilliant neuroscientist, why isn't she in a lab somewhere? Seems she took a seat at university that could have gone to a student who would use that knowledge for the common good. She's as useless as a three dollar bill.
8 2
-
G
I totally agree with you. It isn't as if she were applying her degree, like Lisa Genova, the terrific author of "Still Alice" and other novels based on incurable Neuro diseases.
2
-
G
Has Mayim EVER had a job doing the work of a neuroscientist? She has a degree in neuroscience but no job in that field. She came right back to Hollywood.

Ken Jennings
13

O
I have watched both and I really like Ken the most
13
-
R
Ken Jennings, definitely!! He makes me smile when I watch, and I appreciate his humility, humor, and knowledge.
15 2
-
C
Ken 100%! He has a calming presence and a wealth of knowledge. He is quick to make a witty comment or additional information and is very kind and encouraging cheering those that are stalling.
Mayim seems to shrug her shoulders and sort of move too much. Not fond of her stance, but do like her enthusiasm, though gets to me a bit.
Will be very disappointed if Ken is not the host.
He had a real connection with Alex.
17 4
-
G
Ken Jennings, hand-down. Hope they choose him.
15 2
-
C
Ken Jennings, without a doubt. Ms Bailik will ruin the show. I will not watch if she is hosting.
17 4
-
B
Jennings for sure. Can't stand Bialik. Her actions and comments are like a teenager. This is an intellectual show not a cutesy look at me.
17 4

B
Yes! There is no place for perky on Jeopardy.
1
-

R
Oh please give us Ken as permanent host of Jeopardy!
12
-
O
Ken Jennings must be or else I do not watch the show. So, please Ken Jennings! I vote for Ken Jennings!
12

B
Totally, definitely, irrevocably, without question or doubt KEN is the man!
Be smart ABC or you will surely, most definitely, without question or doubt lose viewers permanently!
12

C
CRY ME A RIVER!!!!
-
-
G
Absolutely Ken Jennings
12
-
G
Ken, for sure. I've been taught not to say anything about someone if it's not good, so I won't say what I think about that woman.
13 1
-
G
Ken is my choice. PLEASE!
13 1
-
P
Let's face it-- Ken Jennings IS Jeopardy! He's the greatest champion of all time, knows the show like no other, presents himself professionally and is such an admirer of Alex Trebek that I think Alex cloned him to be permanent host of the show. Mayim Bialik on the other hand IS The Big Bang Theory, not Jeopardy! She is good but is not Ken Jennings. Let her have the specials if they can't make up their minds. But please name Ken Jennings as permanent host.
13 1
-
G
Exactly right. She's the goofy nerd who fits Big Bang Theory.
Ken is the quick-witted trivia whiz who fits Jeopard to a tee.
12 1
-
-
P
Ken Jennings without question!!
14 2
-
C
Mayim comes across as arrogant so unlike Alex Trebeck
13 1
-
B
Ken is definitely my choice. I'm sure that Alex is smiling down at Ken from Heaven! Ken reminds me of Alex in many ways.
15 3
-
B
I don’t think so. Alex and Ken couldn’t be more different. Alex had a warmth, Ken doesn’t. Alex just had it. Ken doesn’t.
3 15
-
P
Go look at old episodes from 30 years ago. Alex wasn't so warm and fatherly then. Alex mellowed over time, so will Ken. Nothing will ever change Mayim's smug, all about me conceit.
15 3
-
B
No Ken has his fans do all the arrogant conceit for him. Where is he? Hiding? If he gets it he won’t be able to hide & everyone will remember the awful comments about handicapped people. Truth.
1 12
-
G
Take a look at MB's comments about women bringing sexual assault on themselves, vaccinations and other subjects. She's a misanthrope and can't even maintain a romantic relationship.
11 1
-

-
-
-
D
Ken Jennings won the poll 70% to 30%. Mayim Bialik must have got her feelings hurt and asked her 2 million Twitter followers to come in here and defend her before things got out of hand and it was too late.
And to no avail, Ken's still winning the comments 65-35.
15 3
-
G
Absolutely Ken…please spare us the wait and make Ken Jennings the permanent host…you know Alex would have chosen to be replaced by him.
14 2
-
C
He is perfect not selfish and doesn't talk about himself. Alex would be proud and you will be happy with a good man. He slid right in flawlessly. I will not watch if there is any one else . Yes, I am one but there are so many more like me that is proud of him, perfection.
15 3
-
C
Ken Jennings gets our two votes.
15 3
-
O
I agree that Ken Jennings should be the permanent host of Jeopardy.
17 5
-
P
I never saw any polls, but Ken obviously is the best. He has a great mannerism and cool - very professional while he is conducting the show. Not like Mayim who stands behind the podium swinging back and forth like she's off her adhd meds. She talks too much and acts too silly. She hangs on to that podium and is toooo squirmy. She doesn't dress professionally, her jackets are way too big for her, her hair isn't the greatest and she looks like an old school marm! Sorry that's my opinion. KEN, or else I will quit watching Jeopardy.
16 4
-
B
Gail, it wasn’t a scientific poll. It was a poll where people could vote over & over. It has a lot of fans riled up for good reason.
1 12
-
-
G
Ken is best as host. Love Mayim, but not as the permanent Jeopardy host.
15 3
-
G
Definitely Ken Jennings. He has the finesse, knowledge and relatable temperament towards the contestants like Alex had. He may not be Alex but he would do Alex proud.
16 4
-
G
I think Ken Jennings should be the permanent host of Jeopardy because I think Alex was training him for that position and I like Ken best as a host.
15 3
-
C
Ken is the BEST CHOICE for permanent host!
12
-
G
Ken Jennings has really come along way to be the perfect host for jeopardy. Jennings adds humor and personality to the job. Bialik is not the right choice. I do not watch when she hosts. I do watch when Jennings hosts. Jennings has my vote for permanent host.
13 1
-
O
Didn't like her on The Big Bang THeory; don't like her on Jeopardy.
Ken, OTOH, is great!
13 1
-
O
Ken forsure. More like Alex and I think Alex would agree.
12
-
O
Ken Jennings should be the choice. He is so professional that at times he blends in the background. He makes the competitors the focus of attention. This is what Alex did so beautifully. Ken speaks very easily with the contestants and relates to them in a way that puts them at ease. He is the best choice.
15 3
-
P
Ken Jennings recently leaving The Chase and Master Minds makes me think that he's already got the job in the bag. Mayim still has other commitments between her TV shows, movies and podcast. They will probably have Ken do the main show and Mayim the primetime specials. That works for me. 🙂
14 2
-
B
No Mayim would actually be ideal, but I can settle for this.
8 4
-
-
G
I like them both, but agree I like Ken the best, however that doesn't mean I don't think Mayim should never do it. It makes sense to have two, so it can give each of them break now and then.
15 3
-
O
Ken Jennings should be the Permanent host for this great show! We used to NEVER miss Jeopardy but if Mayim Bailik is hosting we find something else to watch. She is NOT a good host for this show!! I was surprised when she was chosen to begin with. We thought Aaron Rodgers was way better than her!! KEN JENNINGS should be the host!!
14 2
-
G
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host because he is a better host with great qualities.
13 1
-
G
We check the program guide to see who's hosting and if it says Miam, we don't watch and remove the recordings from the DVR. My wife and I cannot stand her mannerisms and constant gyrating. Too distracting!
12
-
O
Ken definitely! MB, please bow out gracefully…
12
-
R
Ken Jennings is an excellent host in every way. Fitting replacement for Alex Trebek.
13 1
-
G
Ken doesn't peddle pseudoscience for some extra cash on the side. That automatically disqualifies the other candidate.
14 2
-
O
Of all the tryouts I prefer David Faber. But Ken Jennings is my second choice. I like mayam but she's too perky and distracting.
13 1
-
G
Team Jennings all the way!
When Mayim is on, I don't watch. She is utterly annoyingly phony.
15 3
-
O
Ken Jennings host Jepordy
13 1
-
O
I am all for Ken Jennings. 100 %.
14 2
-
B
I personally can't stand mayim. She's condescending and her intonation is annoying. Ken has a much better rapport with the contestants and sounds more natural
16 4
-
C
Ken Jennings. PLEASE. Much more enjoyable to watch with Ken. He is your man to pick.
14 2
-
O
Definitely prefer Ken Jennings style & pleasant personality. Mayim is too harsh in response to incorrect answers
15 3
-
O
Ken Jennings all the way! He seems to be the natural choice. He seems to enjoy the job and is respectful of all contestants.
12 1
-

HA HA HA! WHAT A JOKE!!! He don't respect the contestants when they get close to his winning streak! He intimidates them! That is what I call a poor sport and a BIG cheater!!!!

-
G
Totally Ken!!!!! Only true choice!
11
-
O
Definitely Ken! Ken has more knowledge and experience with the Show. His personality, demeanor and humor is alot better than Mayim's. Everything about her on the show seems kinda Fake to me. She just doesn't care as much, so it seems faked to me. She doesn't have the passion like Ken does for the Show.
12 1
-
R
Ken all the way!
11
-
G
I think Ken should be the permanent host. He has class & shows he cares about the contestants. Mayim is all about her. Saying things like I'd like to go there & that sort of stuff. We don't care what she wants. It's about the contestants & the game.
12 1
-
O
LOL! Too true.
11
-
C
Definitely Ken Jennings!!!!! Have always loved his demeanor and respectful attitude.
Mayim is too loud, doesn't know how to joke respectively, is too arrogant. Please, please choose Ken!!
13 2
-
O
I watch the show even with her as host for a test of my trivia knowledge. She is just annoys me so much and wish she would give up this job. Ken Jennings is just more likeable. He is so much better at making contestants feel comfortable to perform..
14 3
-
G
If they are not planning to make Ken the host, at least please put out old Trebek episodes available online and streaming. I'd still prefer to watch some Jeopardy than no Jeopardy.
13 2
-
O
Ken Jennings is very obviously the right person for the job. He is knowledgeable, professional and yet he is friendly. He deserves to be the permanent host...even our beloved Alex Trebeck wanted him to be the succesdor.
13 2
-
C
Mayim is ok, but I feel Ken has earned being the host..Plus I really like him the best..Is Ken giving up Master Minds..
11
-
R
Ken Jennings is definitely my choice. He's a natural!
11
-
R
It should be Ken Jennings. He is the Babe Ruth of Jeapordy!
11
-
R
Every time Bialik is on I turn the show off . Can’t stand to watch her. Ken Jennings is the one for all the Jeopardy shows…. please!!!
12 1
-
O
Jeopardy! is not "The Price is Right" or "Let's Make a Deal", (although those shows have their place) That being said, "Jeopardy!" is in a class all it's own. Ken Jennings is the one person who brings the class ro the program that it deserves! He truly embodies the class, demeanor and deportment of Alex. Ken exudes both warmth and intellect and his presence just demands respect and devotion. Ms. Bialik cannot even come close. She's no Alex; Ken IS!!
12 1
-
R
I am a senior citizen and definitely vote for Ken. It is time for Jeopardy to make a decision and announce that he is the viewer favorite. Alex would be dismayed at all the delay and frustration of the fans.
14 3
-
B
Definitely Ken Jennings!! He has the polish and dry wit of dear Alex Trebek and with Ken, Jeopardy would continue to top the ratings!!
11
-
C
let’s all agree with a sigh of relief that it’s not mike richards as permanent host
but yes ken would definitely be the better host
13 2
-
O
Mayim has terrible grammar. "That's him, that's her, that's them". Why haven't they corrected her? I vote for Ken, for sure.
11
-
C
I'm glad someone else has noticed this! It grates like nails on a blackboard!
-
C
I can't figure out why they haven't corrected her, either!
-
-
O
Ken please!!!
11
-
P
Ken has my vote! His banter is on target and he knows his stuff. He has quick comebacks and runs the game at a good clip. No doubt who they should make “the host” (anyone else annoyed every time they announce “hosting Jeopardy”?).
14 3
-
G
YES. The intro should be, ... And now the Host of Jeopardy... not "hosting".
1 2
-
-
B
My personal preference would have been Buzzy Cohen. Ken is above average and Mayim is plain terrible. If the eventual host is between these two, then Ken all the way - or we turn off the show for good.
14 3

B
Terrible is Ken what’s his name, Boring. 💤

In the interests of what's left of American's sanity PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THE JOB TO MAYIM BIALIK!

G
Ken should be the host 100%. He is the closest thing to Alex. No one can replace Alex. Alex would pick. Him
13 2
-
P
Mayim Bialik is a total failure as Jeopardy host, and IMO at everything else I've seen her in.
10
-
O
Thank you! IMO She was repellent as Amy on Big Bang and is utterly obnoxious on Jeopardy. I so hope that Ken leaving The Chase and Master Minds signals his ascent as permanent Jeopardy host. My first choice would have been Buzzy Cohen but I look forward to seeing him on The Chase.
7
-
G
Agreed. She's so bad on Jeopardy, I'm surprised SNL hasn't done a send up skit of it.
4 1

O
Yeah and they should do a SNL SKIT of KEN JENNINGS intimidating the winners
1 2

C
Definitely Ken!

O
I dvr'd the national college championship. I find Bailik irritating from her reminding us of how smart she thinks she is , to her annoying pronunciation of "dollars" and everything in between. I deleted them all. I could not bring myself to watch even 1 episode. I have watched daily for 30 some odd years. But when they sneak her up on me during the normal weekday shows, I have to admit I change channels.
10

C
CRY ME A RIVER!!!!
1 2

-
C
Ken Jennings is the best replacement without a doubt.
10
-
B
While Alex is irreplaceable, Ken Jennings is knocking it out of the park! I would love to see him as Jeopardy's new permanent host.
11 1
-
O
I really don't care for Mayim.
14 4
-
O
Ken Jennings. Won't and don't watch when Mayim hosts.
14 4
-
G
Sadly, I miss Alex so much his voice and good nature were paramount. I can’t watch the show anymore as neither of their voices are enticing me to watch.
13 3
-
B
In addition to Ken being a much better host for those of us who have watched for many years……..Jeopardy has always been a show with impeccably dressed hosts. I just can’t watch if Mayim is hosting. Her hosting technique is almost as distracting as her choice of clothes!
14 4
-
C
So.. you don’t like how Mayim looks basically. Right, totally valid and not sexist reasoning for your preference.
-
-
C
I would love to have Ken Jennings as the permanent host. He has the best personality to do a good job.
12 2
-
G
Absolutely Ken Jennings, he has done a great job.
10
-
P
Mayim acts a little sarcastic with the contestants, and it seems to me she tries to put Ken down without saying so. we (myself and My wife) want Ken as the permanent host of Jeopardy
12 2
-
B
What about arrogance from Ken? But that’s overlooked. Why? He’s a man.
2 12
-
-
O
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. According to the votes he got the title with fairness with a 40% lead. I also think a man should be the one that fills Trebeks shoes. Nobody will ever be Trebek nor come close. It should be a man not a woman. Jennings does have a great sense of humor
11 1
-
B
Jennings by far
10
-
P
Definitely Ken.
10
-
P
I think Mayim Bialik needs to GO!! If she is "hosting" as it should be announced, not "and now here is the host of Jeopardy" we don't watch that episode. I've questioned a few times the announcer's choice of wording for Ken Jennings (hosting) and Mayim Bialik (the host)??? It was my understanding they were to co-host for this season...I find Mayim very condescending. Her choice of apparel is questionable. She is all about herself...
I really hope that Ken Jennings becomes the permanent host of Jeopardy...
12 2
-
C
It's possible that she insists on being introduced that way. Her massive ego shows in the way she conducts herself during the show.
5 2
-
G
I am not her fan but I read they do that because, technically she is a Jeopardy host (night) and Ken is still a guest host. Hopefully this problem will vanish once they (crossing my fingers) choose Ken.
1
-
-
-
O
Ken Jennings is my pick for hosting Jeopardy! He just seems to be a natural for the job! He is smooth, quick- witted, and he knows the show all too well since he as a contestant so many weeks himself!! Go, Ken!
11 1
-
G
Mayim is an actress...and that is what she does on jeopardy. Can't stand the way she shakes her shoulders when she finishes speaking. Ken was a Contestant...he's been on the other side...he knows how the others feel. They are noticeably more relaxed when Ken is hosting..and he knows how to move the game along at the right pace. I can't believe I've missed so many episodes of Jeopardy....because when SHE is hosting, my TV set gets turned off. Sorry Alex.
12 2
-
B
Ken has been my choice from the beginning, it’s the only obvious choice. While Mayim has slowly grown on me, Ken Jennings is the definition of Jeopardy! And now with his departure from The Chase, I’m hoping there will be some kind of announcement over the summer that Ken will be the permanent host beginning next season.
13 3
-
O
"Ken Jennings is the definition of Jeopardy!" ... I lIke that!
3
-
-
O
Definitely Ken Jenniings, he has more experience and is the best host.
11 1
-
B
I think that Ken Jennings brings to Jeopardy what I have enjoyed over the years class, knowledge and a professional look. There well never be another Allec Tribeck but I think Mr. Jennings is the best choice.
13 3
-
B
Ken is awful! Yule.
3 5
-
-
P
Mayim lost me the first time she mispronounced a word, seriously? It’s Jeopardy she should have never been back after that day. Add to that the smug way she smugly announce the correct answer bothers me. She doesn’t know the correct answer either. When she’s on I don’t watch the show either ditch Mayim.

G
BOO HOO! CRY ME A RIVER!!!!

G
Absolutely love Ken Jennings for this role. I only watch Jeopardy when Ken is on, when she is on I don't watch it. He seems more professional and relates better to the contestants.
9
-
C
Ha Ha, what a joke! Relates to the contestants??? REALLY!!! He intimidates them when they get close to his winning streak. That is unprofessional, a poor sport and a CHEATER!
1
-
C
Oh goodie! Leo/Kay/Jacob/Pseudonym 2, etc. is back creating an all too obvious new persona.
-
-
-
G
She pauses very briefly after every answer presumably to confirm on the monitor. Ken NEVER has to do that. Very disconcerting.
10 1
-
G
ANYTHING TO CRY ABOUT!
2
-
-
C
Absolutely Ken Jennings, no contest!
9
-
G
If former producer Mike Richard's ego hadn't placed him as Alex's replacement, Ken would have gotten the job from the "get go." He's obviously the best choice after seeing so many others audition. Ken is Jeopardy in the same ways as Alex is still Jeopardy. The future of Jeopardy is in jeopardy if Ken isn't the permanent host.
9
-
O
What are you GOD? YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!
1
-
-
O
Lame-o Leo the Bialik shill has spoken.
9
-
G
That's Leo/Kay/ Jacob. Did I leave any of their many personalities out?
6
-
-
C
Ken for sure! I think he’d be Alex’s choice.
12 3
-
R
The first person I associate with Jeopardy after Alex Trebeck and Johnny Gilbert is Ken Jennings. His longtime association with the show gives him a leg up in the hearts of the fans. I also think he is more slick as a host.
12 3
-
B
I truly think that this has gone on a ridiculous amount of time. I think Ken Jennings is the favorite. Why can’t you just do it. Enough…
11 2
-
O
Ken is, in my opinion, by far the best choice. Great personality and demeanor for the job.
10 1
-
O
I would really like to see Ken Jennings get the permanent hosting job.I feel he is much more personable ,professional and much easier to watch than MB, twitching herself all over every single time she opens her mouth!!!
9
-
O
Go with Ken, PLEASE.
9
-
G
Ken Jennings should have been the host from the beginning. He is just a natural for the job. He makes the contestants feel comfortable and speaks clearly. I believe Alex would be proud to know that Ken is doing such a great job. Thank you to Ken for bringing a new light and calmness to the show.
10 1
-
G
Ken Jennings is my choice for host. I like Mayim but don't feel she is the appropriate host. I've always liked Ken and of course he's a trivia genius. Mayim gave it a good try but she isn't a good fit.
10 1
-
B
Why? Because she’s a woman? Give a reason if you have one.
3 10
-
B
OK. She's puffed up with self importance, she preens and acts like a pre-school attendant in charge of toddlers. She admits that trivia doesn't interest her and she wasn't a Jeopardy watcher before the job opened up. She acts robotic and makes the game secondary to herself. Will that do, or do you need more?
8 2
-
C
She “preens”?
-
B
Yep. She rests her hands on the lectern and turns her head to the side and slowly raises her her head in a gesture inviting admiration. She is sickening.
1
-
-
-
-
-
O
Yes, yes, Ken Jennings should be the permanent host..simple reasons, he is part of Jeopardy family, he knows Alex Trebek, he has good hosting skill, to top it all, he knows the answer to most questions. Thanks
9
-
R
Ken, 100%. He’s doing a lovely job. Engaging without being condescending.
10 1
-
C
I believe Ken should be the permanent host because he is the most qualified as the goat of jeopardy. He has earned the position by his efforts and knowledge of trivia due to years of studying and I like his style. He is very humble even though he has proven to be the number one expert.
11 2
-
P
Ken Jennings had what it takes in all areas to be the permanent host of Jeopardy.
12 3
-
B
Like a shrill voice & superior air when he talks to the contestants? No thanks.
4 10

-
G
I am not currently watching jeopardy with MB. PLEASE bring Mr Jennings back for good. Thank you.
11 2
-
B
I’m delighted that Ken Jennings has been chosen by devoted Jeopardy fans! He is very comfortable and relaxed and is a natural. He understands what the contestants are going! He’s been there! I’m sure Alex Trebeck would be pleased.
12 3
-
B
It was rigged. You could vote over & over again. How is that OK?
2 3
-
C
Prove it.
1

G
Definitely Ken. Mayim seems condescending and forced
13 4
-
G
Definitely Ken Jennings!! He’s great. Balik is smart but too edgy and body language not comfortable to watch.
14 5
-
C
Ken Jennings is the better host and human being. He is pro science. Last night’s Final Jeopardy concerned vaccines. Mayim would not have been able to host that episode!
13 4
-
B
Um Mayim is a literal neuroscientist . Jennings is super religious. Pretty sure the scientist is more pro science than someone who believes in a magical man who lives in the sky 😂😂😂
1 2
-
-
O
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host
13 4
-
C
Definitely Ken Jennings! Bailik's presence is forced and over animated!
8
-
G
Jennings in a landslide!
8
-
B
Much prefer Ken's easy going manner, sense of humor, addition of interesting facts, and his interaction with the contestants.
8
-
O
Alex wanted Ken to take over as host! And the people agree in the poll. So it should be Ken all the way!!!
10 2
-
C
Please please please Ken Jennings. I can't quite figure out why I'm put off by Mayim's style of hosting. Maybe it's the judgemental "NO" when a contestant answers incorrectly; or attempts to put her stamp on changes to the game like "single jeopardy" - I don't know. But it's enough that I just can't stay tuned if she is selected.
12 4
-
G
Ken is the one. He's the GOAT, and his love of the game just shines through. He's a natural to host. Mayim, on the other hand, tries too hard and does not seem to have a natural connection to the show. Her jerky head movements when she speaks are quite distracting. Also, her rapport with the contestants is awkward.
10 2
-
C
I appreciate that Ken's introduction says "hosting Jeopardy!"
Mayim has chosen to be introduced as "the host of Jeopardy!"
Ken belongs behind the podium.
10 2

G
Ken Jennings
8

C
Ken Jennings is my choice. I like Mayim but Ken will withstand the test of time.
8

O
Ken is my favorite.
9 1

O
Ken Jennings for sure. I don’t watch if Bialak is hosting.
9 1

So. I sont watch when Ken is hosting.
1 8

Ken Jennings 100% Enough said.
9 1
-
C
Jennings for sure.
9 1
-
G
Ken for sure! Mayim is annoying!
8
-
P
Ken Jennings (Greatest of All Time player....G.O.A.T.) should be the person to replace Alex Trebek (G.O.A.T......Greatest of All Time host). Bialik has a very noticeable 'edge' in her personality that just doesn't fit the Jeopardy image. When she's hosting, I don't watch......and won't!!!
9 1
-
G
Ken, 1000%
8
-
P
I think Ken Jennings would make the better host for Jeopardy.
8
-
R
I'm not going to say anything negative about Mayim here who I think is trying her best but Ken just looks far more RELAXED, has more rapport with the contestants, and has a great sense of humor. Other than Alex, no one is more synonymous with Jeopardy than Ken Jennings. I would keep Mayim for the special events to add some variety but Ken should definitely be permanent host.
10 2
-
O
Ken has the dignity plus humor that she lacks. Alex cannot be replaced but he respected Ken, they were friends. I vote for Ken!!
9 1
-
G
I was so happy and relieved when I saw Ken Jennings coming back ! He makes me feel comfortable and enjoy the show to the fullest. I don't want the show to end. It's just the opposite when it comes to Mayim Bialik, she makes me feel nervous, and I just can't wait for the show to end! I really wish Ken to become the permanent host!
9 1
-
R
Definitely Ken Jennings. After all these years of being an avid fan, I won't watch it with Bailik. Don't like her at all. Feel like Ken was groomed by Alex to take over.
9 1
-
P
Ken Jennings! Hands down. NO one could be a better host than he. I do believe that Alex Trebek wanted him to take his place, also. He loved Ken.
10 2
-
B
You mean no one could be a worse host. He’s awful!
1 5
-
-
G
The only choice is Ken Jennings. He is so good !
9 1
-
B
Ken Jennings should be the host
11 3
-
G
Ken for sure …as I woman I would like to say Mayim but she’s just too perky and doesn’t seem as at ease as Ken…At least she has stopped mentioning all her degrees😱
13 5
-
O
As a woman? Like saying as a White or as a black? Sounds pretty archaic or at best provincial.
-
B
I’m a woman, too. Not sure what that has to do with anything. Ken is just better and she’s very annoying.
1
-
-
R
If Mayim gets the permanent job, I'm done watching.
7
-
O
There ONLY one that can fit the shoes of the Great Alex….. Ken Jennings!!!!
He is not a “scientist” on a piece of paper
He is a perfect host go Jeopardy….
7
-
O
There is no way KEN JENNINGS would fit in Alex's shoes. ALEX doesn't bully and be hateful towards the handicap.
7
-
-
B
Ken Jennings for sure! He is a natural for this position.
7
-
G
Yeah Ken has it in the bag…
7
-
R
I feel comfortable with Ken and an outsider with her! Her head-bobbing is irritating. Ken is much more interested in the contestants.
7
-
C
JUZ!! EVEN KEN'S FANS SOUND LIKE HIM!
-
-
R
Take your football and go home.
7
-
P
They are both good but Ken fits the tradition of the show better and. Seems more genuine.
9 2
-
C
I love Ken, enough of this back forth, get show settled! It is becoming tiresome,
9 2
-
P
Point blank, stop judging, Mayim does a good job but Ken is better!!!!!
11 4
-
O
What's the point of posting a poll and then asking if people agree with the results afterward, as if they can change it until some desired result is achieved? Ken won handily, he's winning handily in the ratings and if the comment section is any indication, the majority of fans still prefer him. Enough!
10 3
-
G
For folks like me, it gives us a chance to chime in with a poll we wish we saw in time to vote. If the Jeopardy show pays attention to social media, the overall comments give them more information than the poll total. I agree with you. Ken should have been named the permanent host as soon as Mike Richards left and Mayim already accepted her night gig. This is taking too long. But, then again, they are successfully creating a buzz with the mystery.
1 1
-
-
G
How many times are you going to ask?? You have results of 70% for Jennings. The results are in. You remind me of our Homeowners Association. If a vote doesn't come out their way, they just vote again and again and AGAIN until it does! Vote ONCE and give the people what they want. Just that simple!
8 1
-
G
I agree 100% with the Pole. Ken appears more authentic for this game- and probably because he has been the most successful contestant on this game, enabling him to genuinely engage with the contestants on their level of knowledge, not just because he's holding all the cue cards. He in fact is very knowledgable on subject manner. .
Ken has grown so much with regard to handling his mannerisms in a very professional way since he first filled in as host to the show. He and Alex just seem to have had that had a special connection through all of Ken's experiences. Ken stepped up to the plate when he was was needed, met the Challenges and has passed the test.. He deserves to be full time host.
12 5
-
P
I can’t speak to the accuracy of this specific poll, but anecdotally it does somewhat mirror the sentiment among my group of friends. 55/45 male-female ratio, probably slightly less than 30% tune into Mayim episodes and even a subset of those regularly watch. We all used to come together for Jeopardy before trivia night at our local pub. Edited to add: we are all in our late 20s to early 30s.

Ken

I am 100% Ken; loved him since his remarkable run as a contestant. I hope he is selected to become permanent.
7

She Stinks. It's obvious. Ken please. It's a show about contestants and the knowledge they possess. Not about the host " acting" and cheering, etc. Ken is respectful, serious and has humour and quick wit.
8 1
-
G
Ken is the best choice for Jeopardy fans, contestants, and for moving the show forward in a positive manner.
10 3
-
G
I prefer Ken. A natural continuation of Alex's style yet young and current. He is quick with the yes or no. I suspect he knows the answers with less seeking. I do feel he has a tendency to be a bit too smart at times though: some off putting comments to contestants that seem patronizing. I would like him to replace the word "but" with "and" when saying who goes first in double J.
Whatever happened to choosing Buzzy?? He was great in the trial time with no downside.
9 2

Buzzy's replacing Ken on The Chase.

Thanks!

Ken all the way.

Definitely Ken Jennings as permanent host. He won the poll and seem like the best fit to replace Alex.
8 1

B
The poll was rigged. I thought it looked weird & guess what? You could vote as many times as you wanted. He didn’t win anything Legitimately.
1 4
-
-
P
I think that it was clear who Alex wanted to replace him. He even brought Ken in to a production role. It's only because Richard had other plans of inserting himself that that didn't take place.
Ken is most deserving of the role. End of statement.
12 5
-
B
He also said he’d prefer a woman. Ken is t deserving of anything. Mayim for the win!
2 7
-
-
O
I vote for Ken Jennings. He's better at hosting. Mayim Bialik seems to still not quite understand her role as host. And I can't stand the way she wiggles her head. It's annoying. Forget the blazer - how many times over the years did Alex Trebek wear the same suit, and nobody noticed - but she seems to wear each pair of eyeglasses only once. Conspicuous consumption? But the "Single Jeopardy" mess is what really made her unpleasant to me.
14 7
-
B
Yep. Ken Jennings!
10 3
-
R
I think Ken should be the permanent full time host and Mayim should stay on in the role she was hired for last summer. Basically what they decided for Mike Richards - that should be Ken’s job and Mayim should do special events.
13 6
-
C
I believe Ken would be the choice of our late, great original. Clearly. Get it done and let's move on.

Please let it be Ken! He has a solid positive history with the game of Jeopardy, a relationship with Alex, a brilliant witty mind, excellent hosting skills.

Mayim has this pause before she let’s us know whether the answer is correct or not, it just interupts the flow of the game. Very distracting.

Jeopardy lost me a long time ago for not making a permanent host. My wife and I watched this show religiously but stopped awhile ago. How many more signs does the show need to realize people want Jennings!? Most of her votes only come from Big Bang Theory fans. I'm sure Jeopardy has lost a lot of fans.

Only Ken Jennings. Bialik is totally annoying and has a superior attitude.

Definitely Ken by far, he is the perfect replacement for Alex. Same composure and humor. Plus his vast knowledge of a multitude of topics. Nobody else comes close.

Ken Jennings is the best candidate to host. His interactions with the contestants is definitely more relaxed and the comments that he makes to them are interesting. He also has a great sense of humor.

Definitely Ken Jennings. So much better when he is the host. Mayim is ok but can be annoying. Jennings is not.

I think Ken should be the dormant host he is very good.. Know what he is doing.

I think Ken Jennings would make the perfect Host of Jeopardy! He just brings something to it that Mayim Bialik can't! He's somewhat charming like Alex Trebek, even though no one can be as perfect as Alex, but Ken Jennings seems just perfect for the job! The perfect fit!!
5

What!!! He is nothing like ALEX, ALEX would NEVER make fun of the handicap.

I’m getting so tired of dodging the Mayim episodes. Does anyone know when they are finally going to decide this thing?

I don't know when they'll announce [I have a hunch the decision has been made], but this switching off runs through to July. They probably will have some reruns over summer.

Her stupid "Single Jeopardy round" comment killed it for me. Ken is a no brainer.

If you can't figure that out, Jeopardy is totally beyond your scope.

This has gone on way too long…. Get it over with!

I prefer Ken. It is interesting that when he's hosting, Johnny says "hosting Jeopardy.." when Mayim does he says "The host of Jeopardy..".

C
I prefer Ken to Mayim, but I feel TPTB missed the boat by not casting Buzzy Cohen instead. He is young, hip, fun, knowledgeable and would draw in younger viewers.

ennings all the way! He's # 1 and had proven he is the best!J

I like them both equally & like the change up. Nobody will ever be Alex so variety is nice! I think Mayim interacts with contestants really well & shows enthusiasm for them all as much as Jennings. Either one is fine but I want both!

B
I like mayim.. just not as a host.. agree with others that her rhythm is off... Jennings flows more...
5

C
With her sitcom, commercials and podcasts I think Mayim is overexposed. I like Ken for the job.
6 1
-
P
Ken- not because he is particularly great but because Mayim is flat out BAD.
6 1
-
O
I don't understand why Mayim's fans are so fixated on blaming the results on rigging rather than providing clear reasons why she is better qualified for this role rather than Ken. And I say this as somebody with no preference.
6 1
-
C
Because they are paid shills who only need to post something in her favor. If this is their job, creativity doesn't enter into it.
5 1

G
Ken definitely because it’s been hosted by a man for so long so it only seems fitting for a man
5

C
Ken for sure. He has a way of making the contestants feel somewhat comfortable.
Although I am a fan of Mayim Bialik, sometimes it feels forced and uncomfortable.

I totally agree that Ken should be the permanent host. He has good rhythm, sense of humor & isn't annoying like Miyam! Her voice goes up too much ...oh a true daily double. She sounds like she's talking to a 2 year old! It's like someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard! Ken has my vote!

R
Ken
6 1
-
P
Yes absolutely Ken Jennings! He is perfect for the show by not distracting from the players. He is calm, focused and understands what is important about the show - it’s contestants and their answers.
Ms. Bialik is a talented lady but distracts the viewer from the game questions & participants’ responses.
Typically comments about her are her hair & clothing outfits. This is not, nor should it be considered to be, a fashion show! She is probably ok for the limited tournaments.
6 1

P
I have thought right from the beginning that Ken was the proper person to take over the slot after the passing of Alex. He is very personable and appears to be well liked by the contestants.

Ken Jennings 100%

Jennings all the way. he was Alec's choice, and I just enjoy watching him more. Miriam is clearly a brilliant and funny lady but when I¡m watching I don't need to watch a celebrity.

While Myiam Bialic is a good actor, she does not have ANY charisma as a host on Jeopardy and is actually quite annoying. I totally agree with your poll results that Ken Jennings would be a much much host for the show!

I really would like to see Ken Jennings be the permanent host. He is doing a much better job.
8 3
-
P
Jennings for sure. I don't even watch "Jeopardy" when Bailik is hosting. Don't like the superior attitude she projects.
4
-
O
It has to be Ken Jennings. Ms. Bailik is so distracting with her jerky body and head motions. She completely destroys the entire image of what Jeopardy has always in. Alex Trebek and Ken Jennings are both very sophisticated dressers. Ms. Bailik has a preposterous sense of how to dress as a game show host. She needs to go back to her neuroscience. That is much more appropriate for her.
4
-
P
Ken Jennings without a doubt! He has the class and charisma, second to only Alex Trebek.
4
-
O
Ken for sure. And to anyone who says you don't like the game if you won't watch it with Bialik, don't you get that the host IS part of the game? Otherwise they could just grab someone off the street to host instead of drawing this out.
4
-
G
I have really decided Ken Jennings us an excellent host. He has the impromptu intelligence and humor Alex had!!!
4
-
R
Absolutely! Positively!! Unequivocally! KEN JENNINGS! He's a REAL person that enjoys the Jeopardy! contestants like Alex did. Please, please, please! I love the show so much but just do not enjoy it when that twitching, smart aleck, rude, egotistical woman is hosting. Please make Ken the permanent host so the wonderful game of Jeopardy! can continue for years to come.

Mr. Jennings is the absolute best man for the position. He's brilliant, cool and calm. My whole family loves watching him. He is so intelligent and brings such kindness and care to all the guests. We love you Mr. Jennifer

Ken is the GOAT of Jeopardy champions. He has done a great job at being a more than adequate replacement for Alex Trebek. He has a great mind and wit and knows the game. He will never jeopardize the legacy of the game.

G
Can't tolerate Mayim. There's no comparison. She's inauthentic, "on stage" and simply not tuned in to the flow of jeapordy. It's a shame that this hosting nonsense detracts from the actual show! Ken is a pleasure across the board. He's more mediagenic, comfortable, engaging, and doesn't draw the spotlight so the viewer is able to focus on JEAPORDY which is the point!
This is not intended to be the Mayim Bialik show as she struts on stage. Please put an end to dueling hosts and let's just move on with Ken Jennings as the rightful "heir" to Alex's kingdom.
3
-
B
Find her smug and arrogant. She tried to hard to hide it but her demeanor show thru
3
-
C
Ken comes across more as being very interested in what the guest are saying and responds much more appropriately to them. Mayim appears to be acting and her hosting does not as comfortable or effortless as Ken’s. We personally do not find the show as enjoyable to watch when Mayim is hosting and tend not to watch it so much. We like Mayim very much as an actress but not as a Jeopardy host.
3
-
G
It’s really VERY hard to watch the show now. It has lost warmth, caring and the essence of the game. Weird hectic energy there now. She’s good in other roles but not in this one.
3
-
B
Ken for sure, not a contest
3
-
G
Def Ken. The other night, MB took up so much time her exaggerated responses that the last question in Double Jeopardy could not be asked. She takes center stage all the time, and is very distracting with her over the top mannerisms and voice. She is bloody annoying!
3
-
O
Mr. Jennings is definitely the best host for Jeopardy. He is self assured and definitely knows the ins and outs of the show.
3
-
G
Ideally yes, but when there's a clown who thinks it's all about her, the focus shifts.
3
-
O
Ken Jennings by far gets my vote!
I do not like Mayim as a host - she is too forced and not natural at all!
5 2
-
R
I will stop watching permanently. if mayim is host.
5 2
-
O
I think Ken is the better choice, but I also think the decision has already been made and it's Mayim that got the job. Just listen to how they're introduced... Ken's is "and hosting Jeopardy!, Ken Jennings". Mayims is "and the host of Jeopardy!, Mayim Bialik". Hasn't anyone else noticed that?
4 1
-
C
That this is even still a discussion is ridiculous. Ken should be the host of Jeopardy and it's not even close. Give her the prime time games if you want but nobodies going to start watching Jeopardy because she was on Big Bang. She has no draw to Jeopardy fans and she's not going to bring you new viewers. If you want to keep Jeopardy fans happy let Ken be the full time host and let Buzzy do the tournament of champions.
Mayim has other jobs and "brain pills" to sell.
6 3
-
O
Not only that...Ken Jennings was Alex Trebek's choice. What more of a reason do the Jeopardy powers that be need?🙄

Not true. He also stated he wanted a woman. Alex NEVER said he picked Ken what’s his name.

Ken Jennings deserves to be permanent Jeopardy host! Seriously, why is Bialik even hosting at all?
It's obvious that Ken is more adapt at the position, and has CERTAINLY EARNED the position as the ONLY host of Jeopardy.

P
"When you're on a good thing, stick with it!" and we're on a good thing with Ken.

-
G
Ken is a natural for the show. Just perfect! She does not fit in. Wanted to make her own changes.
3
-
P
I'd say that the comments here leave little doubt that Ken is the favorite by a huge margin. The few pro MB posts are apparently paid shills due to their brevity and/or their screaming "foul" because they're losing so badly. Personally, my choice would have been Buzzy Cohen. Since that is not an option, my vote goes to Ken. I despised MB on The Big Bang Theory, but that feeling has intensified since she's been ruining Jeopardy.

Ken Jennings absolutely. He is the host of Jeopardy.

Absolutely Ken Jennings! I just don't care for Mayim Bialik

I think Jeopardy will choose Mayim because 1) she’s a woman and 2) all their social media scrubs anything remotely critical of Mayim yet leaves mean spirited comments about Ken on their pages.
3 1
-
G
I agree. Ken is the best choice. I always watch when Ken hosts but never when Blaik does. She just acts likes she is smarter than the contestants. Difficult to watch she she is on.
4 2
-
O
Ken Jennings "converses" with the contestants and with the audience watching from their homes on TV.... Mayim Bialik "announces" everything from her conversations with the guests, to reading the clues to going to station breaks, etc. What we all miss is the unfettered warmth of Alex Trebeck and Ken Jennings has the same kind of warmth that Alex projected. Watching the show when Ken is the "host" is a joy. Watching the show when Mayim is the host is burdensome and almost takes real viewer concentration.
5 3
-
R
Ken Jennings, hands down. I know it isn't nice to mention a persons appearance, but Mayim's wardrobe is abominable. also, her twisting of her body when she gives the answer, is weird. She also interrupts the rhythm of the show, when she takes so long to comment after the answer is give, it throws me off. Just give it to Ken and be done with it, he is a natural.
4 2
-
O
Hands down, Ken Jennings. When a contestant guesses incorrectly, he's kind about it. On the other hand, M.B. nearly disparages the contestant with her harsh way of answering "no", like "how dumb!" Well, she's a NO in my book while KJ is a YES!
4 2
-
G
I think Ken is more deserving of it if he wants it. He played the game and he is the overall GOAT. I don't have anything against her being host if he doesn't get it.
2
-
R
I think they are both good and takes turns in Jeopardy. I like them both.
4 2
-
P
Needs to be Ken, and I don't think because of Mayim's hosting skill (which is passable). She's an anti-intellectial who peddles pseudoscience and useless supplements while using her doctorate to provide false legitimacy. And she's somehow antivax (yes, delaying childhood vaccination is not an "informed decision", it's idiotic). Jeopardy is supposed to be a show celebrating knowledge, so someone like Bialik has no place on it.
3 1

C
Just so happens, "vax" was the correct response to the 04/11 Final Jeopardy! clue.

I'd forgotten, good catch lol.

and 04/11 was hosted by Ken, and not Mayim. 😀

O
I think KEN JENNINGS is the best choice. He is the much better host. Besides that I think Alex liked him a lot. He didn’t ask Mayaim to co-write a book with him, he asked Ken. Ken is more likable and does a much better job. His timing is much better than Mayaim’s. He’s just a nice guy and he doesn’t have to force anything. Mayaim tries too hard.

Mayim improved her pacing, but it's too little and too late, and it's the only thing she's improved.

He is wearing more comfortable shoes, and has hosted more often. It is not really a fair contest.

Don't pay attention to Kay, also known as Leo/Jacob etc.. Judging by the spelling and grammatical errors and the juvenile remarks, I'm guessing a high school dropout or one of MB's kids.

Question... when Mayim is introduced, she is called the "host of Jeopardy". But Ken is not called THE Host. He is simply "hosting Jeopardy"
What's that about? Does not sound equal to me.

Still Ken 100%!!! no matter how he is introduced.

I love both of them on there.

I think people and the network want to actually replace Alec's personality. You don't want a new host you want someone that ia a double for Alec. Let the new host be their own person not a double for someone that has passed on. Let him rest in peace.
1
-
O
As people complain about the unscientific nature of this poll, remember that ratings are the actual driver of change. I read in The Sun last week that Ken’s episodes were outpacing Mayim’s in the ratings nearly 2-to-1. That should tell you how the fans feel.
1
-
B
Cory, The Sun is a British TABLOID. Over in the UK where it’s based it is known for being a hack paper if you can call it that. Just like The Daily Mail is from the UK. Their so-called articles people laugh at in the UK. You guys better start checking your sources better or educate yourself on real journalism.

It may be a tabloid, Leo, but it was sourced from actual figures. Crying about Mayim's comparative unpopularity does not help your case.

Yeah cuz people are sexist and refuse to watch her simply because she's a woman and not a hot woman by society's standards (taken from many comments regarding this). Ken Jennings is your typical white male host and that's why he's taking the lead. Plain and simple.

Strongly disagree. Bialik’s downfall is that she’s a Zionist.

Jeopardy! doesn’t abide ties and “everybody loves a winner.” But why fix what’s unbroken for most? Ken makes it seem effortless; Mayim reminds us that it’s not. I like the spice of the rotation. May the bihostal status quo endure.

I like both of them

I turn Jeopardy off when Mayim is on. She didn’t earn respect in the Jeopardy realm! So what, she is a scientist turned actress. She is smart. If they went head to head on a Jeopardy challenge, I’d respect her if she won. Plus, Jenning reminds me of Herby the Misfit Elf!

I agree that Ken has earned the permanent host position, and that he may indeed have been Alex’s choice. The reason Ken should be chosen is that he has the feel and spirit for the show and demonstrates already that he is in it for the long haul. He is a joy to watch, he makes the contestants feel comfortable, he adds appropriate humor and I find myself smiling a lot when I watch him at the podium. He is the right choice.

Ken Jennings should not even be temporarily hosting Jeopardy, never mind be in the running for the permanent host gig. It is not fair to the contestants, and can skew outcomes. It is an absolute conflict of interest to have this highly competitive previous champion hosting the new up-and-coming contestants/potential future champions. They pose threats to his various records, which include longest winning streak and highest average of correct responses. No matter how enjoyable he is to watch, or good a job he seems to do, or impartial he tries to be, he cannot be 100% impartial. It is humanly impossible for some (even if totally sub-conscious and/or subtle) competitiveness or undermining to not creep into his interactions with the contestants. I've seen it already with the last couple of contestants with long winning streaks. For these reasons he is not the right choice, and I'm surprised to be unaware of anyone else voicing these concerns.

I've seen from several sources, including a video of Alex himself that he wanted Laura Coates to succeed him. She wasn't part of the guest host group. She said that she was firmly told "No" when she expressed interest. Alex also named LA Kings announcer Alex Faust. Neither was added to the guest host list. Could it be that Mike Richards refused to allow them to try out because they were real competition?

Ken not only won your poll, but is trouncing Mayim’s episodes in the ratings. And it makes sense because he maintains a good rhythm, has an appropriate sense of humor true to the tone of the show, and his style is close to Alex’s. Simply put, many people are willing to tune out when he’s not hosting, and that should speak volumes about the quality of the two hosts.

I watch jeopardy all the time even when Ken is on but I am for Mayim, but I love watching jeopardy ,,,so if people don't watch it when Ken is not on it that shows that u are jeopardy fan and u only at it for the host,,that is my rant about this

I can't stand Mayim and wish they would just stick with Ken. She's artificial, stilted and acts superior. Yuck

If Bailik becomes permanent host our household will not be watching Jeopardy
-
C
Mayim is better Jeopardy host, her voice is better and she's easier on the eyes.
-
O
Ken Jennings should be permanent host. Hands down.
My boyfriend and I can barely watch when Ms. Bailik is on. In fact, we don’t. The way she says “no” when someone gets an answer wrong is so disapprovingly superior. She is smug and annoying- Tashi is correct. Ms. Bailik is a total Jeopardy buzzkill (and let’s not even comment on her wardrobe choices.)
-
R
Ken Jennings; pleasant demeanor, witty, and nice voice. Bialek on James Cordon wasn’t even one but interesting, and James let her know!
-
O
May I’m is our favourite. We do not watch if Ken is hosting. He is too pompous.
-
O
I think that Mayim should be the permanent hostess. She makes the show funny and enjoyable. Ken is stuffed short, too serious!

G
And she has improved a bit from her early hosting days, but still has a long way to go!!

O
Oops- has always been not has always in.

R
EXCUSE ME! You DON'T KNOW ME! D.MBA..!

I would vote for an unknown third party over both of these candidates. I'm sorry but I cannot forget the snarky Jennings who was so dismissive of both the program and Alex Trebek when he was a contestant. Find someone new withno baggage.

Ken Jennings! Mayim ruins jeopardy for me, she is such a bad fit. She is not the star. Alex always said he was not the star of Jeopardy. I like Ken's quick wit and easy going manner with the contestants. He has gotten so much better. Mayim has gotten worse, she makes me so uncomfortable with all her head jerking. She does not interact well with the contestants, she seems so uninterested in them.
-
G
I vote for Jonathan Lawson...
-
O
Actually, neither one. My favorite was Aaron Rodgers. They should keep looking.

Find someone new - with no past history associated with Jeopardy nor a character on another show - someone with class and personable, but importantly, no egotistical attitude when contestants guess wrong.

O
Buzzy Cohen

I think the champion talk to much. They can finish the board because of her talking. What happen to not talking unless ask to.

I don't think either of them is a good choice for permanent host. Both are so stiff and not relaxed at all. Like cardboard cutouts. Face it, Alex Trebek can never be replaced!

Team neither. Find someone new and unknown, like Alex once was. The drama behind the choice is off-putting.

Ken Jennings would guarantee the future of Jeopardy in the Alex Trebek tradition. He is professional, personable and knowledgeable. Mayim, on the other hand, has an irritating screen presence and is not professional. She also should be immediately disqualified for being paid to push a non-proven brain supplement (Prevagen); that's a conflict of interest! There is no doubt that Alex would choose Ken.

Don't like either one. Don't care if I miss Jeopardy any more!

I feel like he can do that partially because he's been in the players' shoes before so he understands from both the contestant & now a host perspective what they're going through.

I agree. I've been watching it nightly, just after my supper and pre-bed time routine for a long time. They'll also lose my loyalty in watching them as well.

Alex was already more famous than either of these two when he took over…. maybe to save the show, try a third choice—How much have ratings dropped since he left?

He didn't leave, he passed away. But he chose Ken to record his biography for audiobook and Ken's episodes hosting Jeopardy have twice the ratings of Mayim's episodes.

Most of you complain that one or the other of the two hosts is condescending towards contestants. They sound stuffy when they give the correct questions. Well you can only correct people so many times before you start sounding that way also. I would be terrible as a host because I would come off as a know-it-all. In our house we like both hosts, and we love Jeopardy!

What about the black woman that Trebek himself recommended.
Both the Zionist and what's his face are fairly nauseating. But they're white,so I guess that's the main thing.

Having been a Jeopardy! fan since the days of Art Fleming as well; Mayim Bialik has showed a great sense of humour, a precise understanding of the rules and great interaction with the players. She is a better high class host and someone who Alex would thoroughly enjoy taking over his duties. Ken Jennings is good and he is getting better, because he was horrible in the beginning, but Mayim has improved to a legitimate level and just has personality. Jennings' needs to borrow one. I'm ok with the joint duties for now but my entire household and our entire group of friends and their families vote for Mayim Bialik. TV insider isn't the only place for poles out there. Look around.

Tough job to have to make a choice of permanent host of Jeopardy! between Jennings and Bialik.

Mayim Bialik, hands down. She is more enthusiastic, seems to be better at drawing out contestants and is much more fun while staying professional. Her voice is also more pleasant.

Mayim Bialik is tied to the show as an extremely intelligent fan. That's nice, because as a fan, she is one of us.
Ken Jennings, on the other hand, is the Babe Ruth of Jeopardy!. He is tied to the show as it's greatest contestant ever.
It reminds me of when Monday Night Football signed a "smart fan" (Dennis Miller) to be a member of their broadcast team. He added some levity to the broadcast, and it was fun for a while. Then the novelty of the "smart fan in the booth" wore off, and his career as a football broadcaster was over.
Jeopardy! should learn from that experience and move on from their "smart fan" host, before the novelty wears off.

G
By her own admission, she never watched Jeopardy and only became interested when her son informed her about the hosting job becoming available. So no, she was never a fan. As for "extremely intelligent" she also admits her grades were not good enough to qualify for medical school. IMO she's all wrong for Jeopardy.

If Ken Jennings is selected as the new Jeopardy host it will be another classic example of white male dominance in the world of show hosts. Ken Jennings comes across as a clone of Alex Trebek trying to replicate his voice and hand gestures. It is phony. He has the personality of a damp dish rag. Why not give the show a new and fresh look by hiring Mayim Bialik? Yes, a female of Jewish heritage with a PhD in neurobiology...with a personality that is filled with enthusiasm.

Ken Jennings is the worst host. He talks so much the contestants can never finish the answers on the board. He is so arrogant. Because of him $1000's are left on the board. So unfair to the players.

Team neither. Someone unknown and drama free. Like alex was when he was chosen as the 3rd or 4th host. Letterman, leno, o'Brien, Stewart and Ferguson were replaced without the drama. I bet drew Carey is thanking his lucky stars he replaced bon barker before social media was what it is today. And bob barker is still alive. Ha!

Nooooo. I do love Ken but I want Mayim Bialik! I really love her & her spunk. She’s so different & I can tell she really loves it there. I know Ken does too but it’s something about Mayim! Love that Gal!!
4
-
O
Mayim is my choice. She is a natural, always smiling, always promoting all the contestants while Ken is all about Ken., comparing and promoting himself through the contestants. He judges their double jeopardy wagers “just $2000 then” - after suggesting a bigger wager - that must really throw off a contestants game. He does the math for contestants as if they cannot-which is insulting. Mayim makes Jeopardy easy to watch and she is a credit to Alex’ who always put the contestants first - it is about them and not the host.
1 5

O
I definitely prefer mayim over ken, ken is so boring. I love mayim's take on the show

Well, I've decided to look into that again for you -- but rather than rely on some mortal audio engineers who are tainted by sin and thus fallible, I'm calling upon a very special guest for this very special question.

I actually like when they switch between the 2. Ken is great because he's got such a successful history with the show, but he can be a bit monotone.

Mayim knows more than half the answers She has PhD in Neuroscience. And she looks professional and relaxed. I’d go for her, and a female lead is what it needs. Besides, I can’t stand Ken Jennings voice. He sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles.

I love to see Mayim but prefer Ken. Mayim is wittier than Ken, and I disagree with comments about her being uncomfortable. She seems very relaxed, earnest, and happy in the position whereas Ken seems stiff and robotic. That being said, I prefer Ken’s style because of his static nature. He rarely runs out of time because he reads the answers faster and is less quippy than Mayim. Mayim is too bright for the position while Ken is so uninteresting he fades away so the contestants can shine. That is what I recall about Jeopardy with Alex at the helm - the contestants shined.

Has nothing to do with it being a woman vs a man, she just isn’t the right woman for the job. I’d love to see a woman doing that, but I believe Ken has it, hands down! She’s seems too uptight, and her voice goes up 10 octaves when someone gets an answer right. Very annoying!

O
I like both of them, but whoever takes over needs to be more aware of the long-time/senior viewers who have hearing issues. Alex was always careful to speak slowly and clearly. The seniors I know have all complained that both Ken and Mayim rush their words at times. I know that this is often due to time constraints while filming, but it is very frustrating.

I’m Team Mayim all the way. She brings some zing in addition to that gorgeous brain of hers. Ken does a great job too. I like the split of duties and don’t see a reason we only need one host.
5
-
R
Mayim brings an easy fun atmosphere to the show. I thoroughly enjoy watching her host. Ken appears stiff and unable to actually relate on a personal level with the contestants.
Both have certainly relaxed as their hosting duties have progressed.
Maxims personality shows that she is more than up for the job.
We (three of us ) vote for Mayim.

Wouldn’t be bad to use Ken if he knew how to speak! Sounds like he has a mouth full of mush!

C
Majority of jeopardy viewers are old population of course they would want someone as close to alex style and that what ken jennings is for..these people also are against changes that’s why any different style they would throw tantrums in social media. but if they want to attract younger viewers they should get Mayim..fresh and upbeat..also younger population know her due to big bang theory.. but i guess a woman host will never happen.the viewing behavior and social media sentiments are still into patriarchy.
5
-
O
If the producers wanted to attract younger viewers they should have gone with Buzzy Cohen. He's young, hip, fun and brilliant. And I think the huge support for Ken stems from the fact that the repugnant Mayim Bialik is the only other option currently on the table.

Mayim is best choice

She is condescending when she knows contestants are smarter. God help us if the contestant has brains and beauty. Mayim brings the drama. Jennings hold all the title belts like boxer across all the divisions. WORLD CHAMPION! What 🤨

Personally, I do not like Ken Jennings. Mayim Bialek has a better repore with the contestants in my opinion. She's also easier to listen to when she goes in depth with the answers.

What? Ken is the one with the shrill voice & superior air about him.

How is his voice "shrill"? And no, it's not "because of [my] hearing". I actually have a perfectly-calibrated Sony stereo receiver, and I see and hear nothing shrill about Ken's voice (my amp has a graphic equalizer display).

Definitely NOT Ken. Permanent Host should be Mayim and for Celebrity Jeopardy it should be BUZZY Cohen!!

I like them both. Ken should host on a regular basis and Mayim should host specials.
6

P
Hoda kotb
6
-
G
Way too old. She's pushing 60 and the show needs someone with longevity and to pull in younger viewers. Buzzy Cohen is 20 years younger than Hoda, he's hip, fun and enormously likable. He did great on the tournament he hosted and is better than the two current contenders for the job.
6

G
Yep. I can't believe the show runners didn't zero in on him immediately. It's a no=brainer.

P
My opinion (which might be an unpopular one) is that both Ken and Mayim do an excellent job as Jeopardy hosts. They are both warm and friendly with the contestants, seem at ease on camera, run things on stage quite smoothly, appear to be very intelligent and articulate, and have a good sense of humor. BUT if I HAD to choose just one of them to be the permanent host, I would definitely choose Ken Jennings. The real issue in my mind is whether Ken wants the full time job. I look forward to finding out the answer.
1 7

I think they are both good and should take turns hosting. Everyone has their own opinions but I like the changing so it doesn't get to monotonous . They both have their good and bad atributations.

Difficult to watch Ken with his voice. Like fingernails on a chalkboard. His arrogance is awful toward the contestants. He’s forgotten where he began.
6

G
Mayim Bialik - head and shoulders above anyone. Charismatic and natural and genuine!
1 7
-
C
Totally disagree! Mayim brings a fresh start to jeopardy. No one will ever match up to Alex. As such it’s time for someone to host Jeopardy who brings something different to the show. Mayim is very personable and bubbly something that the show will benefit from. Ken does a good job but in my mind is just vanilla ! Plus it’s time for some female power !!

G
I am put off by Jennings arrogance. He should not be the permanent replacement.

I think Mayim should continue as host. Much prefer to watch Mayim opposed to Ken.

LTYGIRL2012@Bialik for sure!!!!!! She has a softness that Jennings is missing and is Smart, pretty. I look forward to seeing her.

P
I think people want KJ for the job because of his wins. I think that MM should take job because she interacts with the players easier than KJ anr time.
1 8

G
I think people want Ken because the only current alternative is Mayim and there's no way we can accept her.
7
-
-
O
I much prefer Mayim! Her tone is so much more friendly with contestants and she is so genuine! She speaks clearly and in a time manner that all clues get asked. She does not put contestants that are behind or losing in a bad spotlight, rather encourages them. She sends warm vibes, rather than Jennings and dies not have a lisp with "s". Mayim is definitely my favorite! When Jennings is the host, I fast forward over his speaking.
1 8

G
I like them both, just when I miss the other they are back. Let's keep the rotation it's fun and different.

G
My wife and I are enjoying the differences between the two hosts. We would prefer they continue to split the duties.

They're both fine. Ken has grew on me but I actually prefer Mayim. Either way I'm a Jeopardy fan, don't watch for the host.

Neither Ken nor Mayim nor anyone else can replace the stellar Alex Trebek! Sincerely, the show has lost its charisma. Yet if those are the 2 to choose from, my vote would be Mayim.

The poll is a joke. Unscientific. You could vote over & over. I cry foul!

Ken Jennings is so boring. He has a flat affect and is not at all entertaining. Mayim brings a ray of sunshine to the show and makes me smile. Mayim all the way!

Anybody, anybody, anybody, anybody, anybody BUT Ken Jennings!!!!!

It is all about the money so Ken will be the chosen one. I think I won’t be watching Jeopardy much longer.

Oddly enough, I think Jennings is stiff and Bialik brings fresh excitement to what could be a dull program.

I’m so sick of Ken Jennings. He’s such a nerd. Miyam is excited and seems to really have fun hosting the show. She needs get more chances to show her stuff.

I much prefer Bialik. She has a nice sense of humor & a freshness about her. She makes the show about the contestants.
Jennings is constantly inserting his knowledge, acting like THE expert, commenting on wagers etc. I don’t like his sense of arrogance & entitlement
8
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is smug and revels in the loss of multiple game players. Hes is annoying and supercilious. Mayem is wonderful! Maybe James Holzhauer for tournaments! He is very funny and would be a great addition when Ken leaves.I wanted to see the 2people Alex picked to replace him,neither one was ken.They weren't even given a chance to audition!! Disrespectful to Alex.

“Mayim” all the way! Great sense of humor; 3 dimensional, great delivery. Ken comes off as your typical arrogant middle class white man. Please keep Mayim on the show.

Levar Burton

I prefer Mayim actually. She's nerdy, quirky, and you can see that she has a genuine love of all things Jeopardy...and it's refreshing. Anyone who turns the channel when Mayim is hosting is no true Jeopardy fan, imho...

Do some research. Mayim has stated publicly that she doesn't like trivia and never watched Jeopardy until the host position opened up.

I wish they'd both continue taking turns. I'm sure they both have enough money anyway, so half a salary shouldn't be a problem, and it adds something different to the show when you don't know who to expect. Ken's laid-back style contrasts with Mayim's enthusiasm so no one could argue they are clones. It adds a touch of piquancy to a show that's great to start with.

I think they should continue with BOTH co-hosting on alternate weeks. Ken is good but don't dismiss Mayim.

G
I don’t know how one could choose. They both are so sharp, witty and personable. Perhaps Jennings is more popular because of his astounding history as a Jeopardy contestant. I don’t know why Bialik would want to become a permanent host because she has soooo many talents. I think Jennings will become the permanent host and Bialik will continue to be a Renaissance woman. For me though, the real star of the show is the game itself. I watch most every night regardless of the host.
9

P
In my humble opinion, Ken Jenning Is a transparent joke. The little man is so insecure and worried about people challenging or possibly breaking his winning streak record that when a player, such as Amy Schneider or Mattea Roach start rolling on any kind of 5 game + winning streak that potentially could challenge or threaten HIS winning streak, legacy and record... he very cleverly seems to make subtle, beneficial betting strategy comments and innuendos to the pondering challenger closest to taking down the champ while that individual is dealing with the huge amount of pressure in the few seconds allowed while deciding how much to bet on a Daily Double. In my opinion, this is Mr. Jenning's Clever, under the radar attempt to achieve his personal motivation which is stopping anyone from breaking his longstanding winning game record. This always occurs when a challenger picks a daily double. You'll notice his comments AWAYS benefit the challenging player with just enough of a verble nudge to influence that challengers desision/bet with the hope it will put the challenger within striking distance of the champ for the Final Jeopardy Round, of course with the further hope that the champ will miss the final question and the challenger will get it correct thus ending the current champs streak! This behavior is cheating and it is disgusting.
9
-
O
Yeah Ken intimidates the winners that come close to his winning streak to make them nerve-wracking to make them lose, what a poor sport!
1
-
R
NO ONE has come withing spitting distance of his record since he's been hosting. Eschew falsehoods.
-

Bialik is an acting pro, has a sophisticated sense of humor and is smart as hell. No, she's nothing like Alex, but it's really nice to see someone on Jeopardy who isn't another white man.
1 10

P
Why do people feel they have to put down Mayim to build Ken up? Ken sure keeps a low profile. Come out of hiding Ken. I know about his horrible comments about handicapped people. He’s no saint that’s for sure.
3 12

P
Both are competent and very intelligent. However,I enjoy Mayim so much more. She is able to engage more with the contestants.

O
Mayim is WAY LESS stiff than Ken, and has a better instinct for pacing the game. But there's no changing the minds of the cult of Ken, and I'm tired of arguing about it.
1 10

Mayim is more like Alex in that she is personable

I change the channel when Ken comes on. He is so smug in his knowledge, Ken is not a good replacement for Alex. Please keep looking!

I like Mayiam better. She has a great personality, she shows professionalism, she is fun to watch, my reasons go on and on. Pick Mayiam!

I would like to see Mayim get the gig… she has a lot of personality and brings a different vibe to the show (thank goodness). A lot of people are not just “geeks” and appreciate a little change from the Alex days. It’s a new day, a new time, change is not a bad thing.

I like them both and hope both share the lead. I am not bothered by any peculiarities either have as this is part of who they are!
1 11

P
Ken is as phony as a $3 bill, and Mayim is acting her way through. Dump 'em both, and find a talented no-name who'll focus attention on the players and not him/herself, keep the game moving, and NOT want a bazillion dollars to do the job.
1 11

G
I personal don't care for Ken. His personality is flat and at times comes off as being condesending towards quests.
5 15

G
I think the person who takes over hosting jeopardy should be extremely well spoken and have very clear diction. Obviously the only choice is Mayim
10
-
R
Ken Jennings is arrogant and does not reflect the tone of AlexTrebek. He always wants the attention and enjoys being superior to the contestants. He also shows a male bias. Mayim Bialik is generous of spirit and places the contestants first. She also has a great sense of humor I vote for her anyday.
10
-
G
Mallika for me.
10
-
G
I much prefer Maxim. She's very congenial, intelligent, and runs the show smoothly and in an even tempered manner towards the contestants. Jennings has a grumpy demeanor and gives off an aura of slight disdain when contestants fail to give the correct answer.

My vote is for Mayim . She has more personality ! Makes watching fun . Her speaking is clear and easy to listen to.
1 11

I don't watch the show when Jennings is on. He is smug and has some terrible things in the past that should NOT be overlooked.
11
-
B
Ken doesn’t have the warmth towards the contestants that Alex possessed and Mayim does. She keeps it lively and enjoyable. Ken is frequently unable to keep the pace to finish all the questions, leaving me wondering what they were. I find myself watching sporadically when he’s hosting, but making sure I don’t miss an episode when she is hosting. I prefer her, but wouldn’t be opposed to permanently alternating them.
2 13
-
R
It is interesting the public still finds men in suits more credible. Why should the new host have to be similar to Alex? I find it interesting folks are so critical about Mayim's wardrobe. Maybe she should wear a man's suit so she only has to change ties. I like her style which is admittedly different. She shows an interest in the contestants celebrates their achievements. I have seen Ken on a number of trivia shows. He comes across as snobbish and condescending.
2 13
-
O
Because Jeopardy is the equivalent of comfort food, you might have to get a new cook, but don't change the recipe. Jeopardy fans are happiest with a calm, knowledgeable host who doesn't make it all about him or her self. Ken is the right answer.

You nailed it! Ken is comforting and feels right. Mayim competes for attention, taking away from concentrating on the show.

Ken Jennings shouldn't be the permanent host. Mayim is much better as a host.

Mayim should be the host. Ken Jennings is an executive producer and can fill in whenever it's warranted. He'll be affiliated with the show one way and Maxim in another way. Good for the show.

I like Bialik. Jennings talks too quickly and he has that, "I know it before you" look on his face.

Mayim. Ken is good but he is an imitation Alex. A change is nice.

I think these results demonstrate who the audience is of jeopardy. The majority of the viewers are seniors and it's typical of seniors to support men in leadership roles sooner then women. It's a true shame because Jennings personality is boring and when he tries to be humorous it's painful to see. Mayim is brilliant, and also possesses a sense of humor and humility. Jennings is arrogant and condescending.
12
-
G
Continue with both. Different styles are a good thing. Let Ken do half the specials. Nothing wrong with saying that it takes two really smart people to fill Alex's spot.
1 13
-
O
Our family stopped watching Jeopardy because we don't care for Ken and he was on the show way too much. We like Mayim because she's fabulous at it and her vibrant personality shines in the show. No Mayim and there's no more Jeopardy in our house. Sorry.
1 13
-
O
I really like Mayim so much more than Ken. I find her more personal & relaxing. But they both do a good job.
12
-
B
I think my Mayim is the best choice for Jeopardy because she keeps the show moving along and gives that it humor as Ken Jennings is just dry and he always leaves questions on the board which drives me nuts but anyway he doesn’t have the personality that Mayim has. She gives the game some life 🤗
12

B
I like Mayim’s banter better than Ken. But I like them both. The problem is, I don't love either of them. If I had to choose it would be Mayim.

I prefer Mayim.
13

B
I think Mayim is great. Very professional and enjoyable to watch and listen to. I watched Ken Jennings through his winning streak and it was great. I don't care for him as a host at all. Just seems annoying to me and his bug eyes. He looks like Howdy Dottie

What cracks me up is KEN hardly know the answers on the other game shows he is on. The chase and master mind. And he is no way like ALEX, ALex would never make comments on the handicap!
13
-
O
HHHHMMM, MAYBE THAT IS WHY HE IS QUITTING THE CHASE
10

He's probably quitting The Chase because he's going to be the permanent Jeopardy host and his contract prohibits him from being on another game show.

I find the comments about Mayim as sexist and stupid! I enjoy her on Jeopardy. She is very personable and funny. I have nothing against Ken Jennings, but his followers’ comments make me wonder.

I don't find the comments sexist at all. If the lady opposing Ken was Brooke Burns, Sara Haines etc. there would not be the same dislike. It isn't Mayim's gender that's the issue. It's Mayim herself.

Since Ken Jennings has been the host of Jeopardy, the show has lost both of us as viewers. Can't stand him, couldn't when he was the big winner and don't like him as host. We really like Mayim and do watch the shows she host. I am 81 and have watched Jeopardy since it started. With Jennings on it is definitely ot worth watching.

It doesn't really matter to me. However in that poll I would like to know M vs F ratio.

I don't like either one of them. I won't watch anymore. Personally, I still believe Levar Burton would have been a better choice. Jennings is still too stiff and robotic. And I just don't care Mayim in this setting. She has amazing comedic timing, so she should concentrate on her show.

To me, Mayim Bialek is a far more interesting permanent host.
She’s bright and converses with game show participants and the audience with intelligence and humour.

Mayim is my choice. Smart & upbeat. We watch every night. Jennings is a bit condescending. No need for that.

I love Mayim! She has done a great job. I vote for her!

O
I can't stand watching Ken as host. He's so monotone and sounds like a robot with as slow as he talks. Definitely would not watch the show again if he became the permanent host.
1 15
-
G
I definitely favor MB as the permanent hostess. She is much more personable and likable than KJ. I like her reading style better, too.
2 16
-
O
She's a fraud and doesn't even like Jeopardy [her words not mine] and only wants the cash and the spotlight. $18 mill when they only shoot 45 days a year? C'mon!

Mayim does a much better job than Ken in hosting jeopardy

I tnk Mayim is by far better host than Ken.
1 15

R
Ken J has the personality of a wet pencil and no sense of humor ! Give my mayim any day.
1 15

R
I disagree, but better a wet pencil which writes more clearly than a wet blanket [Mayim] which could make you ill.

I love mayim. She is lively and love her.keep her.

I far prefer Bialik. Jennings is smug and in my view he is often encouraging the present winner to lose. I love Jeopardy and never miss it but not hosted by him
3 17
-
G
Mayim for sure!
If it can’t be Buzzy
1 15
-
P
I have to confess. The poll let me vote twice & I’m a Ken fan. It wasn’t a real poll. My friends voted more than once too. We should have a poll next time.
1 15

O
I believe Ken is busy on the production side and I would love to see Mayyin be regular host with Ken doing tournaments
1 15
-
O
Ken Jennings is horrible he has no personality his jokes Are not amusing in the least and he comes off as a pompous ass.
Mayim Bialik is pleasant to listen to he’s great with the candidates and at least she smiles once in a while unlike Ken
2 16
-
O
I would like to see Mayim Bialik. I just love her bubbly personality.
14

G
We didn't know about your poll. We are definitely team Bialik. We love her whole demeanor and her energy. She is very entertaining and informative. Go Bialik!!

P
Mayim is the best choice!
15
-
B
Mayim Bialik. It’s time Jeopardy has a female host. We know women are capable of milestones in science, math, and medicine why not let our young women see they can do anything and go anywhere.!
1 16
-
R
There are plenty of female game show hosts: Brooke Burns, Sara Haines, Meredith Viera, Jane Lynch, Sherrie Shepherd, Niecy Nash, Charlotte Rae, Leah Remini etc. Mayim is shallow and peppy enough for a show like Match Game, but she's all wrong for Jeopardy.
15 1
-
-
P
No way is that weasly voiced Ken Jennings better than Mayim Bialek(sp). With the exception of Lavarr Burton he is by far the worst host since Mr Trebek passed away and there were better hosts than these two put together!
1 16
-
C
Ken stinks! No personality, no charisma, a dud. Everyone likes him because he’s like a old shoe whose been used a lot. Won’t watch if it is Ken.
2 17

B
Open mouth, remove foot. You just sank your own boat by admitting everyone likes him and by comparing him to a well worn shoe. What could be better when relaxing and watching Jeopardy?

I absolutely do not want Ken Jennings. I probably will stop watching I usually don't watch already when he is on.
2 17

Maiyim is way better than Ken. I will stop watching if Ken is full time host.
2 17

B
I won't watch when Jennings is host.

Mayim over Ken
Buzzy is my favorite
1 16

O
I like Bialik.cant stand ken.dont watch when Ken is. Host
1 16
-
B
The poll was a joke. It wasn’t scientific which means you could vote as many times that you wanted. The fix was in. Ken Jennings fan voted 50 times then ran with it when the results came in. Pretty bad ha?
1 16
-
G
Somebody order a mental health check for the above individual [alias MB].
13
-
-
O
I prefer Mayim for the host position because she brings a breath of fresh air to the show. It's about time that Jeopardy should think about having a woman host the show. . It was always a man hosting Jeopardy. Where does the people get the notion that Ken is Alex's choice?? I understand people have their opinion about who should host the show and not every one will agree but I think Jeopardy should give Mayim a chance. She does interact with the constants. I love her!!
1 16
-
P
Because Alex has alluded to it multiple times on the show? See the interview in the finals of the Battle of the Decades tournament as well as the "Ken Jennings knows GOATS" category from season 37. He also called Ken just the day before he died to discuss the hosting position.
9
-
-
G
I enjoy both Mayim & Ken. I think that Mayim is a breath of fresh air. I love the humor she brings to the show, not that there is room for too much of that. I prefer to watch Mayim over Ken any time.
2 17
-
P
Sorry, but I prefer her to him. She seems genuine. He is fine but maybe they could alternate. I don’t ever delete either one. Jeopardy has always been my favorite game show. I loved it before Alex and continue to do so. It’s all about the contestants!!! Some of whom are obnoxious but I don’t ever delete them either!
15
-
G
Time for a woman and who better than Mayim. I am not bashing Ken at all like him as well
I would like to see an arrangement that splits between the 2 or others of the top bunch an assortment would be cool!
1 16
-
G
If it's Ken, I will no longer watch. He is soooo egotistical. Mayim is is very light & refreshing
1 17
-
G
Oh, please. Mayim is like a smarmy politician at a fundraiser. She couldn't be any more phony and self-serving.
5
-
-
R
Please keep Mayim Bialik as host of Jeopardy!! She is by far a better host than Ken Jennings! Mayim has personality and a pleasing voice that is smoother and easier to listen to than Ken. Her side comments are also more in touch with the contestants conversations. Thank you.

R
She sounds like a schoolteacher talking down to the class. Obnoxious.

I’m a Mayim guy! I’ve liked her since Blossom. She’s got the staying power to keep Jeopardy at the top of its game.
2 18
-
O
I am sorry but Mayim is our favorite host in my household. Ken has a smug I’m better than you attitude. Plus it’s refreshing to have a woman hosting the show. She’s funny and more engaging with the contestants and that’s more than I can say for Kenny boy. Go Mayim!
2 18
-
O
Actually i think both are very good
I enjoy Mayim a little more - find her a bit more genuine.
Can had an amazing run on Jeopardy as well as in the championship games and that wreck it is probably coloring some votes. I really hope he is not the only host having to I think works well
2 18
-
P
Can not stand Jennings. He talks with a lisp, and is so self righteous. Loved Jeopardy, but will not be watching if he is the host. Bad choice.
2 18
-
B
She has a much better personality. He appears to me to be snobbish and condescending.
2 18
-
O
I vote for Mayim, but will that matter? Why wasn't the poll open to everyone? Why wasn't it public? I hope the producers take into consideration that this was a biased pole and doesn't represent all viewers. Team Mayim all the way!!
1 17
-
P
It was public. It was right here on this site. If you didn't show up to vote that's on you.

-
B
You have anti -Semitic, childishness and sexism and the result is this comment section. Not everyone but there’s way too many to count.
1 17
-
P
Well, I'm for Mayim Bialeck. The comments here about her and Ken Jennings are opposite of mine. I find him stuffy, boring and dry while I find her so much more friendly, humorous, likeable and entertaining. No offense to Alex Trbeck, but did Alex actually pick Ken to be his replacement? If that's true why are the producers going through a charade? Not fair to Mayim if true.
16
-
B
This so called “poll” is unscientific. You could 100 times. That means that the Ken trolls voted over & over. It is a joke.
2 18
-
P
I think this is bull crap! Every post I've read on Facebook and other polls,Mayim has been the chosen one! Ken is boring and no personality.
16
-
P
Mayim is my 100% first and only choice! I won’t watch it anymore if she is off completely!
1 17
-
C
Does anybody take into account Ken does not successfully come to completion often? It is rare that he gets through all clues on jeopardy or double jeopardy rounds. There should be statistics on this status. I bet Mayim's stats would blow his out of the water. True fans of the game show expect all 60 clues to be revealed. Ken reads too slowly, adds too much unwanted chatter and does not get to all the questions. This is inefficient and unacceptable. Either knock off the uninteresting comments Ken or deliver clues at a pace similar to Mayim! Mayim rocks at the position and has an on screen presence of one that is composed, professional, purposeful and accomplished. She is the best fit for the job!
1 17
-
P
"True fans", as you allude to, can also account for long video clues and the rate of triple stumpers, which do not fall on the host. When there are no promotions, both hosts regularly clear the boards. Also, a "true fan" would know that there are 61 clues, not 60. Even though neither host can be faulted for your criticisms, I prefer Ken's style massively.

Whenever they have a category with guest presenters such as the Clue Crew or Hugh Laurie etc. it slows down the show.

P
I can't believe the love affair people have with Ken Jennings. It's time for change. The show doesn't have to be stodgy and hum drum to be intellectually brisk and a bit novel. Maybe the show needs to attract a new audience.... Alex was wonderful for his day, but the show needs to respond to the times and Ken, while personable, is just old school and, frankly, sleep inducing.
2 18
-
O
Ken has a lisp, and I really didn’t like when Alex was condescending, I might be over Jeopardy🤷♀️
2 18
-
B
Since one person could vote 50 or more times in this so called poll, you can’t honestly take these results seriously. I’m sorry but their laughable. You talk about phony, what about Kens arrogance?
1 17
-
G
I stopped watching Jeopardy when Jennings started hosting. No one can take Alex’s place. He was humble and gracious. Two traits Jennings does not have.
1 18
-
B
Look. We don’t live in Russia. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Just don’t put down other people. I have seen a lot of nasty comments directed toward Mayim based on what-she’s a woman, her religion? It’s not right. I don’t see you guys putting Ken down. Keep it civil.
1 18
-
B
I speak the truth. Sound like you can’t handle the truth. Don’t get high & mighty with me these so called Christians and non Christian’s on this site have spewed nothing but hatred and animosity. For what? Your fragile egos that you need to boost up.

and intelligence. I like having a female host. I think she makes contestants comfortable. I love the rust jacket and hope she wears it often!
2 19
-
R
I really like Mayim, she speaks clearly and pronounces her words very clearly. She just needs some help with wardrobe and hair. I really like her as a permanent host. She is not a goat and doesn't brag how good she is. The way she speaks and carrys herself tells it all. Please make her permanent on Jeopardy and then offer her enough money she will forget all those other shows.
2 19
-
B
Kin Jennings is NOT superior. Not someone who makes fun of handicapped people.
2 19
-
O
Mayim denigrates female victims of sexual assaults.
12

G
And yet she bared her breast on the subway to feed her three year old son who should have been weaned long before that. The photo is on the web.

B
Mayim is my vote. Her voice has much more enthusiasm and a bubbly personality.
1 18

P
I like Mayim Bialik better! We definitely need a female game show host. For way too long all the shows have been hosted by men. Time to let a woman host!
1 18

Where have you been hiding? Brooke Burns, Sara Haines, Jane Lynch, Sherrie Shepherd, Zoey Deschanel, Charlotte Rae etc. all game show hosts.

And Meredith Viera, Leah Remini, Jane Krakowski and Niecy Nash to name a few more.

Mayim is so much better. She actually has a personality like Alex did. You all are crazy.
1 18
-
P
Everyone on earth is crazy, just about different stuff. Most of us on this site are crazy for Ken.
-
-
C
Jennings is very sharp, but my wife agrees with me that he talks too fast.
Alex did not talk near that fast.
Mayim is very polished and also does a good job.
Why not have them alternate permanently?
2 19
-
G
Either is alright with me, but I actually like Mayim and I think people have been overly critical of her. To me, she is just as good as Ken, just different styles
1 18
-
O
I prefer Mayim.
1 18
-
C
I disagree, Ken Jennings doesn't have the personality of Mayim, it seems she connects with the contestants better than Ken. If he gets the job, I may seek to watch something else. We watched Alex every night, and when we couldn't, we recorded the show. In our opinion, Mayim is, hands down better than Ken.
17
-
C
I do like both, but I just prefer Mayim’s personality more than Kens. Most people are giving such awful ratings to Mayim because they are saying things like, she moves her head too much, she holds the lectern with both hands, they don’t like her hair, glasses, outfits. These reasons to me are a bit childish. We are all supposed to be Jeopardy fans, but most people can’t wait to say awful things about both of them. We are all supposed to be adults, but with some of the comments being made you wouldn’t think so.
17
-
B
After all the back & forth I believe their going to keep things how they are. They should have announced it a year ago. It’s been a war between the two sets of fans. Guess what? Our opinions really don’t matters to those that decide anyway.
2 19
-
G
Maybe you are new to the industry, but the audience’s opinion absolutely matters. That’s why Mike Richards is no longer the host. I, for one, will stop watching if Mayim becomes the host.
12
-
-
P
I will NOT watch Ken. I can't stand him.
2 20
-
O
To me, Ken is boring. Mayim is well prepared and animated. I much prefer watching her episodes to his. Ken had more exposure on the show prior to his hosting, so maybe people are just used to his style, but he is certainly no Alex. The quality Mayim brings is refreshing, accurate and engaging.
2 20
-
B
Mayim’s animation is exactly what turns me off!! It’s distracting, annoying, and just plain awful. No need for perkiness in a show like Jeopardy.
4
-
-
G
I don't even watch Ken. It's Mayim or nothing. Ken has no real personality and should stay behind the scenes.
1 19
-
G
Mayim need to be host she is much better
2 20
-
G
I want her! She speaks clearly, shows her love of the game and is easy on the eyes.
1 19
-
G
Mayim Bialik should be chosen. Don’t you wonder if a mere 20,000 is your real audience - or a bunch of trolls? She is a real person, real acting credentials, very nice personality. Seems to me amen J si ply wants to rush the show along, it’s awful!
1 19
-
P
Take a look at what percentage of actual viewers are members of the Neilson Ratings that mean so much, or a Gallup Poll. If 20K people responded and 70% preferred Ken, that's good indicator.
-
-
R
Myself I prefer Bialik. Sorry but there's something about Jennings I just don't care for.
1 19
-
C
Why is it when Jennings comes on that it sounds muffled? I can understand/hear Mayim much better.
1 19
-
O
What a shocker. People like the generic white guy and get unreasonably angry at the idea of anything else.. I think he’s pretty bland. Also he hasn’t gotten through all the clues either day this week. I prefer Mayim, but I also wish they’d give Sarah Haines a chance. It’s not like The Chase is going to last forever.
1 19
-
O
I rather Mayin over Ken.
18
-
B
I am a Mayim fan totally! I feel she brings something special to the show that Ken does not. Alex said he would love to see a woman host and she has the blessing of his family, so there's that, but first and foremost I am a Jeopardy fan and will always watch.
18
-
R
Mayim absolutely DOES NOT have the Trebek family's blessing. Neither does Ken, as far as I know. Alex's wife and children were present at the stage dedication ceremony at the beginning of the year on Mike Richards' first taping day. That is her sole association with the Trebeks.
14
-
P
They gave him Alex's old cufflinks as a gift when he started hosting. That may be the closest thing to an official family blessing.
10
-
B
Well, I'm sorry no one notified you, but it has been reported publicly and not refuted so sorry about your luck.

Mayim all the way! Ken irks me.

It should be Mayim without doubt. She has a fresh, relatable personality. Mayim has a great sense of humor and an intellectual yet approachable style whereas Jennings is stiff and boring
1 20

Nope. She isn't at all relatable. She'd be the pushy, "it's all about me" person in the office who alienates her co-workers.

2 21

G
No doubt in my mind whatsoever, Mayim is tops by a longshot.
I have no idea why do many people are prejudiced against her.
Strong men are praised Strong women are chastised.
When will the prejudice end???
Obviously, not in my lifetime.
1 20
-
R
Not a bit of what you say is true. There are a lot of female game show hosts. Jane Lynch, Meredith Viera, Niecy Nash, Brooke Burns, Leah Remini, Sara Haines, Charlotte Rae, Sherrie Shepherd etc. . It isn't a gender thing, it's Mayim herself that we can't stand.
3
-
-
B
Why do people only comment on Mayim’s appearance? Ken Jennings appearance is nothing to write home about. Double standard? I think she looks fine.
1 20
-
R
Maybe because she's hosting a nationwide show not chairing a PTA meeting. She has no sense of occasion.
3
-
-
R
I can't stand Ken Jennings. I don't watch the episodes that he hosts. If he is the permanent host I will never watch Jeopardy again. Ken is an arrogant elitist and ruins the show. I hated him on the Chase as well. If he stays I am finished with Jeopardy
1 20

R
I vote for Mayim. Much nicer than Ken Jennings.

G
I LOVE Mayim!! She is easier to understand for my 88year old mother!! I think she is great!!!

This show is about as relevant as the Oscars. Good for big Pharma picking Jennings. Hosted by Geritol!

Funny you say that, because the show on any given night just about averages what the Oscars had in the ratings last year.
-
B
Haha
-
-

I prefer the fresh approach of Bialik. She is fun & kind to contestants & down to earth yet still obviously knowledgeable. I also look forward to seeing her choice of wardrobe & hair style each night. A new, modern look to Jeopardy.
19

G
If you watch game shows simply for the aesthetics, maybe switch to Wheel of Fortune. Probably more of your speed anyway.
-
-
B
A lot of sexism on here. Comments about a woman hosting. Do we still live in prehistoric times? I know not all feel that way but there’s way to many of those comments out there.
Mostly teenage boys. God help our country.
1 20
-
C
It’s not sexist to recognize quality versus vapid inexperience.
15
-
G
Few to none of these comments have objected to her on the basis of gender. It isn't that she's female that we object to, it's that she's her. Brooke Burns, Sara Haines, or Jane Lynch would do, just not MB.

Ken Jennings as host is like watching paint dry. His jokes fall flat and he acts so darn superior.

O
Mayim!! Ken Jennings comments are goofy and immature, and he is condescending with the contestants.
9 28

I've always preferred Mayim. Ken's a decent guy, but a lackluster host. Mayim is much more like Alex, coming across as an intellectual with a warm personality and a sense of humor. Ken is just too stiff.
1 21

R
Totally disagree. She comes across as an actress playing a game show host. And, since she admits she never watched Jeopardy until the job opened up, she's as phony as naugahyde.

P
Sorry, but I will/haven't watch Ken. I have watched Jeopardy forever but can not stand his voice.
1 21

G
I believe that Mayim Bialek is more personable, witty, and more down to earth. This puts contestants and audience more at ease. She isn't condescending or lord her intelligence over other people. While she may not have the experience of being the top winner on Jeopardy, Mayim is less intimidating to contestants than the other contender. Therefore, she is definitely my choice.
4 24

P
I love Mayim

I do not like Ken Jennings..He has an “you’re not as good as me” air about him, he talks down to contestants at times, if he becomes permanent Host...I will not watch.
1 21

I this Mayim is very smart and she is extremely down to earth and her personality is what the show needs,,,,she get involved with the people ,l can go on about this but she is the one for the host of jeopardy

Mayim professional. Ken not professional and full of himself.

Ken Jennings is stale compared to Mayim. She is a breath of fresh air!

G
Mayim is the favorite in our family. My sister won’t watch it if Ken is hosting.
2 23
-
G
Why does there have to be just one host? I think the usage of both Ken and Mayim has been good for the show.
While Ken has done a good job, I absolutely prefer Mayim. Ken is simply too full of himself and is an uncomfortable watch.
After all those years with the great Art Fleming and even greater Alex Trebek, Jeopardy definitely needs a woman's voice. I'd love to see Mayim al the time but, like I said, I have no problem with the current two-host arrangement.
21

Gag! Can’t stand looking at or listening to Ken Jennings.

Ken is smug and arrogant! Mayim makes the show seem more friendly! Team Mayim!
1 23

B
Folks have you seen As they Made Us? It was incredible. Mayim wrote it, and directed it. The acting was incredible. One of the best acted movies I’ve seen in a long time. There may be even Oscar nominations for some of the actor/actresses. Dianna Agron stars and is incredible in it. I’m saying this because she could become another Ron Howard. If she’s that great a Director she may not want to be Jeopardy host. We will see.
1 23

O
If I don’t like her on Jeopardy, what makes you think I’d like her movie?

What does one have to do with the other? Makes me think you have a bias against her. Does a strong bright woman bother you that much? Sounds so immature.

Of course we're biased against her, she's a pill.

1 18

I think that is where her talents lie, in writing/directing/acting. However not hosting a game show.
4 1
-
-
B
I think Ken was picked because a) he's a man and b) he's more traditional. While Mayim is more boho and of course female which is why I love her.
1 23
-
R
Now name an actual reason why she’s qualified for it.
23 1
-
B
She is a neuroscientist and has been on TV since the 90s. Those are two good reasons.
14
-
O
Being a neuroscientist and actress is not a prerequisite for success in this position, just as being a long-winning game show contestant isn't. Doing a good job, pulling in the highest ratings and not being a polarizing presence among the show's fanbase are all great reasons to be the permanent host. Mayim fails in the latter three qualities and falls on her identity to get away with criticism.
14
-
R
I graduated with a doctorate in electrical engineering, so I should get to host a game show too! Because that's how it works now.
11

B
A neuroscientist who chases the spotlight rather than use her education to accomplish something. Ego triumphs?

If Ken becomes fill time host, I will no longer watch (but will miss) Jeopardy. He is arrogant and incapable of being supportive of the contestants who challenge his own record.

I enjoy watching Mayim host but have to admit I haven't seen enough of Ken. What I've seen of him wasn't impressive.

Personally, I will not be watching it anymore if Ken Jenning’s is the all or nothing host. His voice is not a commanding one and I feel that he is the one that likes to talk about himself too much. I am happy to hear that he will NOT be on the Chase anymore. I don’t watch when he is on it for the same reason. Mayim has a strong voice and looks very professional. I would be fine if they continued to co-host. But, can’t imagine listening to him every night.

Trolls. Only Ken Jennings trolls allowed. It’s so obvious this poll was a joke. It let me vote twice. I should have called & complained to TV Insider then. Guess their on Team Ken. What are these men afraid of? A smart, intelligent woman?

Mayim is a breath of fresh air. Brings a clear love of the game to the stage.

Per her own words, she never watched the show until the job opportunity arose. Hardly a “love of the game”.

Mayim, all the way. She adds personality to the show. Ken is tedious, tries to mimic Alex’s delivery, but he cannot as he lacks Alex’s spark of divine fire. I fear that Ken’s blandness and background will allow him to triumph over Mayim’s gender and ethnicity.

We’ll I hope these websites and the fans are proud of themselves. Who would WANT this job? Even LeVar Burton ran the other way. Your treated obnoxiously by the so called people who SAY they love Jeopardy. Alex Trebek would be disgusted with the idea to tear other people down to make yourself feel big. I think all of you look very tiny right now.

Then why do you want Mayim to get it?

Ken Jennings had me from the first time I saw him hosting Jeopardy. I don’t have a clear way to put it except “ he’s got that certain something!”
One other thing, I think it would be fun to watch the episodes that Ken Jennings played up to, and including his final game!
Anyone else like that idea??
p.s. Nothing against Ms. Bialik, except the weird wardrobe she wears, but her wardrobe is getting less uptight and school teacher. The pulled back bun has been seen less, and she’s also improved her
Personality snd she’s getting a good sense of humor. Even after all that, my heart belongs to Ken Jennings.😊🙃

I'm afraid I, and my family, will no longer watch jeopardy if Ken Jennings is made host. As it is, we only watch when Mayim is on. Personally, I thought Alex showed an obvious dislike of Ken. However, Alex cannot be replaced and Ken tries to do that. Mayim has made that stage her own, while still respecting the show and Alex. She's a breath of fresh air, she doesn't try to steal the show as Ken does, she's extremely intelligent and lots of fun at the same time.

Yes. She’s a doctor and been a star on TV since the 90s with her own show. I can’t stand the hate people have for her. Ken is like Alex…no, not at all.

She's a non practicing, retired doctor who wasted a space at uni that could have been taken by someone who actually used their degree. Everything about her is false.

What's wrong with Mayim? Nothing! She's smart, personable, and able to keep up the pace of the questions. I like Ken too, so switching off the two as co-hosts each week or two would be the way to please the most viewers. I watch Jeopardy! for the questions and answers, as well as the interaction between the host and the contestants. For me, both hosts check those boxes nicely.

I have a question. Why were you allowed to vote multiple times on this so called poll? A scientific poll asks you one time. Period. I know this because I went in again since something didn’t seem right & guess what? You could vote multiple times. If it seems to be too good to be true, it usually is.

The poll was not scientific therefore you could vote over and over. Not a real poll. Flooded with Ken Jennings group.

To put it simple if Mayim is not hosting, I’m not watching!

The show IS about the CONTESTANTS not the HOST!

Which is exactly why Mayim shouldn't be the host. She uses every passing opportunity to ascribe something in the game to a personal anecdote. Her ego shouldn't be a factor in the game or in the audience's enjoyment of it.

This comment section is filled with Ken trolls. What a surprise. They have gotten on my last nerve. Look, the poll was UNSCIENTIFIC. That means you could vote 50 times. Think about it. That means one person could vote 50 times or more. As you can tell here the Ken trolls are more than motivated to skew anything in favor of their favorite Ken Jennings. Again, the poll is a joke.

You're losing bro, just deal with it. Between the polls, focus groups, and now ratings, it's clear that the fans prefer Ken. And that's okay! Mayim will have other opportunities in the business.

It’s soooo obvious the Ken Jennings trolls have taken over this website. What the trolls Fail how to understand is that Mayim has millions of fans from TBBT & her new movie As They Made Us. You can’t take that away however hard you try.

Absolutely Not! I am not impressed with either of them! The search was not thorough enough. They simply wanted someone to quickly replace Alex. Ken Jennings has the personality of a “CUCUMBER!” That smugness, that sense of humor that really isn’t, I just don’t get it. He’s so fake! Not personable at all. Seems to relate only to his demographic - nerdy, middle-aged, white men!

Like so many polls who appear to side with magas and idiot-for-brains who darkened the Oval office from 2016-2020 I don't believe those polls It is clear @missmayimayim Bialik is the proper person to be the permanent host of @Jeopardy She shines as the host of the specials as well Bringing an infectious joy to the competitors and fun as well as information to the audience Mayim is aware of her own vast experience and intelligence without feeling the egotistical need to flaunt it
Were he still here and in a position to respond to the ultimate Jeopardy answer "The Host of Jeopardy " I am sure Alex Trebek would say "Who is Miss Mayim Bialik?"🙏💜✌🤟🙏🇺🇦

I personally thought Mike Richard's was the best host. After being a Jeopardy fan for decades I can no longer watch when Ken hosts. I think he's the exact opposite of Alex.

Mayim has way more pizzazz than Ken. Ken is too stiff and his jokes seem forced and are more often awkward than funny. Mayim has a wonderful smile and is more effervescent. She should be the permanent host.

Mayin has more personality than Ken. He thinks he is the best thing on Jeopardy. My vote is for Mayin.

It should be enough that Jennings has a problematic past WRT inappropriate Tweets and his vocal support of Bean Dad. But his delivery is flat, his voice is weak, and his demeanor often comes off as condescending. My vote is to start from scratch and -- without public fanfare, and entirely behind the scenes -- find someone new. Dump Jennings and Bialik for a relative unknown (which is what Trebek was when he originally took over, BTW).
