‘Jeopardy!’: How Is Ken Jennings Doing as Guest Host? (POLL)
It’s been two week since Jeopardy! guest host Ken Jennings stepped into the late Alex Trebek‘s enormous hosting shoes. The G.O.A.T. champion — the first of the game show’s temporary hosts, who include Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Whitaker, and Mayim Bialik — has been getting comfortable in the new position, and has even been fine-tuning his host-contestant banter.
In one of the show’s most recent episodes, contestant Brian Chang poked some fun at Jennings with his final Jeopardy answer of “H&R Block.” Jennings famously ended his 74-day winning streak after a competitor defeated him with that answer.
Ouch! Ken gets trolled by a contestant during today’s Final Jeopardy! pic.twitter.com/NdJCq6r715
— Jeopardy! (@Jeopardy) January 20, 2021
Just like his predecessor, Jennings had a quick response to the obvious jab: “Now Brian, I know from experience. H&R Block is sometimes the right answer…but not today.” But does this prove he’s up to the task full-time?
How do you think Jennings is doing as guest host? Let us know in the poll below.

I think Ken is doing a great job. Alex's shoes are too big to fill. Ken is not trying to fill them, he's being him. As one person said, he's articulate, intelligent, humble with a sense of humor.

I think with each show he has shown he is up to the job. He’s not Alex, but no one is. I wouldn’t object to seeing him as the Jeopardy host! Especially after the way he handle the Brian question on H&R Block.

Ken is doing an amazing job. I’m impressed he can pronounce those difficult names. There’s no need to have guest hosts. Ken is a natural. Alex would approve too.

Ken is very personable, he relates to the contestants as well as the audience. He’s humorous and witty as well as knowledgable. He makes me happy to see Jeopardy continue instead of wishing it had stopped with Alex, which is what I thought I would feel. Please keep him.

Ken Jennings is doing an amazing job! What a challenge he had to follow a legacy, honor Alex with a heartwarming tribute and continue as host of a show that that everyone was watching with the most high expectations. Ken fulfilled the position with such grace and finesse, he has earned the permanent spot in my eyes... I bet Alex Trebex would feel the same way. Why change what isn't broken?!!!

Ken Jennings is kind, smart, and a natural with the contestants. It is hard to watch anyone walk in the shoes of Alex T but Ken is doing a good job! Keep him!!

I think Ken is doing really well. I could see him getting more and more relaxed. The fact that he himself is so knowledgeable helps too. I think the 2 people I associate with Jeopardy are Alex and Ken. Since Alex is now gone and we will miss him, it seems the natural choice to take his place is Ken.

This is exactly how I feel too

I think Ken is the one for the job. Let’s face it. No one can replace Alex Trebek but Ken comes close.

I am a second generation Jeopardy! watcher. My mother, sister & I began watching in the 80'sand love this show. I miss Alex, as does the rest of the world and I think Ken Jennings is a natural for his replacement. I can't imagine how he felt that first show but the respect he has shown while humble speaks volumes to me. I hope he gets the job permanently.

Ken Jennings is doing a great job and will get better as time allows. I have watched Jeopardy for several years, but if Katie ( gag here ) Curic is host, I will refuse to continue to watch a classy program. She has absolutely NO class.
23 3
-
C
Agreed!
10 2

B
Amen on that! Never watch the show if she's on. Nor the others, to be honest. If they don't choose Ken then it's over for me! (And she does have -0 class!)

Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job. I think he is a keeper. Seems to be a really good guy, witty, intelligent and fits in well.

He is doing better than I expected, however he does need to slow down, and temper the pitch of his voice with some voice coach training. It is rather high, and somewhat disconcerting.

Ken Jennings did a fantastic job on Jeopardy. He was funny, relaxed and in charge of the situation. I am a long time listener and thought the transition to Ken was smooth and very professional. I will NOT be listening when Katie Couric is hosting because I do not like her political views

Katie couric is NOT right for Jeopardy, even as a guest host 🤢

We do not need Cooper, Guthrie, OR Couric, they are worn out. Keep Ken.

After the devastating news of Alex Trebek's death, I didn't think it would be possible to enjoy Jeopardy ever again. Ken Jennings has proved my initial reaction to have been incorrect. What will it take to get Jennings to become the permanent host of Jeopardy? Watching him adapt to this role has been a joyful experience. PLEASE convince him to take the job!

Ken is doing a great job of “GOAT” hosting. Cancel the rest of the others.

He has been flawless, neat, enunciates well, knows the job.
Just miss Alex’ s deep voice.

Ken is doing great! Please consider keeping him over Katie Couric! Her recent attack against conservatives and her wishes of “deprograming” have really stopped me in my tracks. We would hate to have politics ruin a lifelong love! (Couldn’t we all use a break from the divisiveness of politics- regardless of party?) We love jeopardy! Keep up the great work, Ken! Tough shoes to fill but you are wearing them nicely. Alex would be very proud. What is a permanent host?

B
What did Katie Couric say?

I think he's doing great. I started watching when Art Fleming was the host and believe me when he was replaced with the"upstart" named Alex Trebek whom I got used to... My advice... Give Ken a chance....
18 4

O
Ken is doing a fantastic job
Please keep him full time and don’t let Katy Couric any where jeopardy
Alex deserves better
Maybe she can get a job workforce Biden

It's done. Keep Ken Jennings. He knows enough to not make the host the focus of the show. Why spoil all those coming episodes with the "wannabe" parade of already demonstrated egotists?

Ken is doing a great job. Not looking forward to Katie. Don’t like her politics. Bring Ken back . Watched for all of Alex’s career. Miss him.

I think he has done a great job. I have always thought he would be the obvious replacement when everyone was talking about who would or could replace Alex.
I like that he is a super smart guy but can be hummus too. I am still enjoying Jeopardy.

Ken is the perfect replacement host. You risk losing viewers with the wrong host. If Ken wants the job, let him have it and don’t bother with other guest hosts. Ken is doing great and will only improve as time goes on!
9
-
O
I feel he's doing well and getting better as he acclimates himself in the host / moderator role. Keep in mind, we were all used to and comfortable with Alex, so it's hard for someone else to step in and be readily accepted. Like with so many other things, patience is a virtue.
11 2
-
O
Ken does better every day. I don’t want to watch anyone else but Ken!! He’s got this!!!
9
-
G
Each day Ken was more at ease so that by end of two weeks he had proved himself as a creditable replacement for Alex (not an easy thing to do)
He has my vote for a permanent host now but still want to see how the others do

O
I think he’s wondering.. i program my tv to watch jeopardy every day... will not program it when Katie Couric is on😡😡😡

They should bag the other guest hosts, and just go on forever with Ken. He fits the part! He understands that the show is not all about him. We don't need someone who brings a big ego with them. Go, Ken, go!!!!

I think he's doing great, but he is no Alex Trebek. I'm also anxious to see the other guest hosts.

KJ is credible and doing a really good job. I really don't want Jeopardy to become a "Celebrity guest host" show. The Jeopardy model was always so successful because Trebek didn't behave like a "star". I think that a slew of "celebrities" will try to make it about them. Keep KJ and let's settle back into the routine that Jeopardy was...a show about the contestants' abilities.

G
I think he is doing a great job and I think he is the one Alex wanted.

I really like how he interacts with the contestants during the "chat" segment. He's doing great!

I think Ken Jennings is awesome. I watched Jeopardy even before Alex Trebek was host. Why have others audition? Didn’t Alex say it was all about the contestants and not the host!!!! PLEASE do not ruin the integrity of the show by having guest hosts!!!! It would be a travesty. Keep Mr. Jennings. He is articulate, bright and doing an outstanding job! Keep him!

So far Ken is doing well, he deserves the job as he is highly intelligent which plays well when adding some humor and calmness to the show.
6 1

G
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like him as host, but I do. He knows he can’t fill Alex’s shoes and it doesn’t fill like he is trying. Very nervous it seemed the first week but second week more casual. I agree with someone below, he could slow speech pattern down a bit. I hope the new host will be either Ken, Brad, or “Jeopardy James”.
7 2

O
He’s the one! Great job, a natural!

Great job! I’m sure Alex is smiling down on him.

I watch jeopardy with my family and we all agree he is the right guy for the job. Keep up the good work ken we love you 😊

O
I like what Alex Trebek told Ken Jennings: "the contestants are the stars, not the host". Ken is perfect in that he has no agenda for popularity. He's there to facilitate the show. If they bring in guest hosts, people would tune in to see them, and jeopardize the challenging questions as too hard. Would the writers then be pressured to 'dumb down' to retain the new viewers?
Keep Jennings, play the game!
7 2
-
C
That's what I was thinking they would have to dumb down the questions... Not put any hard to pronounce words in the clues.

I agree, but I'm interested in how the other guest hosts will do. They better not dumb down the "answers."

Alex Trebek would be very proud of him
Alex Trebek would turn over in his grave to have a lowlife like Katie Couric replace him. She showed Americans what she thinks of them. I will immediately stop watching if they have her on. So will

Can you imagine replacing the icon, Alex Trebek? You can't. But Jeopardy needs a host. Ken Jennings started out a bit slow but I think it was a combination of nerves and respect for Alex. After 2 weeks I am enjoying watching him and appreciating the job he is doing.
5 1

He’s doing a very nice job.

I didn't think I would enjoy the show after Alex left us. But Ken is doing a excellent job and is growing on me. 👌

I think Ken is doing a fabulous job. Stepping into Alex’s shoes would be difficult for anyone, but I think he is hitting it out of the park and I can’t imagine anyone else in that position.

He is doing a wonderful job filling the shoes of someone who is impossible to replace. Watching Alex one could believe he knew every answer - even if he did not. Same goes for Ken J. I like that he is humble and not trying to imitate Alex, but just being himself.

B
Ken is doing an awesome job and wish he would be the permanent host and I think Alex would be very pleased with that. Of course he was nervous in the beginning but who wouldn’t be. No one can fill Alex’s shoes but Ken has his own style. Give the man a chance to relax and be himself. I enjoy you Ken immensely even though I miss Alex and he is watching over you.

I think he is doing fine. Beginning to look more comfortable. Does need to slow his speech just a little. This could be due to nervousness. He belongs there.

B
I think he was much better the second week as he is getting more comfortable. Yes the hurried up speech pattern needs a little more work but he has said it’s vastly different on this side of the podium!

He was brought in as a "Special Consultant" in the fall so I imagine their intention is to have him be the permanent host assuming he doesn't flame out, which seems unlikely at this point.

Watching Ken is such a natural fit. He’s doing a great job. I still can’t get used to Drew Carey on Price Is Right. I think Jeopardy hit the nail on the head with Ken.
2

R
Ken has adapted to the role incredibly well. I thought his speech was too fast in the first couple of episodes, but he has since corrected that. He can relate to the contestants' challenges and shows empathy when needed. I certainly hope that he will be selected as the permanent host.

👍👍 Ken is knowledgeable & competent with the game. I'm sure he's a bit jittery being the host. I do like the idea of occasional different hosts, tho Ken or someone should be a mainstay for continuity.

I think he’s perfect. I can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job. Celebrities wouldn’t have a thing on him, and why should they? Who cares? Keep Kenny!👍

Ken Jennings is doing fantastic. It is great to see some new blood, to put anyone else in that slot would not be an improvement, only a setback for the show.

I was pleasantly surprised. He seems to be a natural fit for the job. And he thanks Alex at the end of every show. Please don't use Katie Couric; I will not watch the show when she is on if you do.

I think he is doing a fine job...I am very happy with him...I've watched since I was a very youg lady...I'm 83 now...will not watch when you have Kouric on sorry,,,thank myou Mary M. Brown

Ken Jennings is doing fantastic! The only change I’d like to see him make is to talk a little slower. Other than that, I love having him there - hope it will be the permanent choice.

I'm from NYC, so his speech seems normal to me. He does clear the board most of the time, which is the goal.

Ken Jennings is the obvious person to take on the roll of host. I wont be watching my fav show while Curik is on that's for sure. Shes nasty.
2
-
C
I think Ken is doing a good job considering the task at hand. I don't think his speech pattern is from being nervous. I think it's the way he speaks. I remember when he was a contestant he talked so fast that many times I couldn't make out the answer. But, if he could slow down his entire performance, it would be great. I still watch Jeopardy, but not with the enthusiasm I had with Alex. Might take me a long time.
4 2
-
P
He's doing a fabulous job at hosting. He's so much like Alex Tribeck that I don't miss Alex.
2
-
B
I think Ken is doing a wonderful job. He gets better with each show. He seems to be the natural choice and I am sure the choice that Alex would have wanted. They had a special relationship and from a few comments that Ken has made Alex seemed to know that Ken would be filling in and gave Ken some guidance.
2
-
C
Totally agree! He is the one!

C
I agree and he gets better with each show. I think they will all be good but Ken is the best! I dread Couric because I didn't care for her on the morning news and I don't need to be reprogrammed! Probably won't watch that week.

B
Alas, they might hire Couric permanently out of "wokeness", theoretically speaking.🙄🙄🙄
4

B
I for one won't be watching any of the shows if there is someone who has no connection to Jeopardy...don't care for any of those celebrities and just won't watch them, especially Couric...no matter what...her ideas that anyone is like Hitler and that they need to be reprogrammed will just taint this show and be an insult to a wonderful man like Alex Trebek who was always amazing! Don't shame him like that!

Ken Jennings is the only reason I am watching Jeopardy at this time. I don’t even know who this new guy Mark Richard was till I had to look him up. Ken Jennings name is associated with Jeopardy more than any other person on this planet. Ken you will be missed! You did a fabulous job and I’m watching you on chaser!

If Anderson Cooper is the host I will never watch Jeopardy again the same with Katie I have watch the show for years those two will destroy your ratings .

Keep Ken. He has the smarts, the good connection with the players and audience, and handles well the operation and flow of the game. I do not want a celebrity or news anchor to take Alex’s role. I think Ken was a great pick and it kept me watching not just the game but his funny wit and sense of humor with the players.

Ken Jennings is awesome as an articulate, wickedly intelligent, and kind host. It is significant and unique that he maintains the show’s direct connection with Alex, and thus also with long term fans. Although the other suggested hosts seem credible, I really can’t, and don’t want, to see anyone else in that job. ABC, please twist his arm to stay!

O
I have been a longtime Jeopardy fan and do miss Alex Trebek. But...Ken Jennings, Alex’s pic, is doing amazingly well!!! He’s young, attractive, bright and handles ALL contestants with respect!

Ken Jennings has done an excellent job hosting Jeopardy! I cannot imagine anyone else but Ken Jennings hosting Jeopardy. Although no one can take Alex Trebek's place. I agree with all the other posts. Ken is intelligent, genuine, humorous, and humble. He truly has knocked it out of the park. All the other host slated to host do not even begin to compare to Ken Jennings.

First time watching & believe he is handling the position beautifully and think they should drop guest host & give him the position. Alex is smiling down on Ken😁

Ken Jennings has done an awesome job as guest host on Jeopardy. I hope he gets the job permanently.
1

B
Ken is super. Alex would be so proud of him. I hope he is the new permanent host! No need to go through any more “test people”!
1

O
Please keep Ken as the permanent host. He is doing an amazing job. I love it that he thanks Alex at the end of each show.
1

P
I think he's perfect . He's becoming more relaxed with each show. He's a keeper.
1

G
i think he is doing a super job, he's polite and sharp and i am enjoying the show even more than before !!!

G
They’ve said it all. Ken Jennings should be the new host. Yes, we miss Alex but Ken has shown that he is quite capable of earning the job and I to love how he thanks Alex, so appropriate.
1

R
Ken...Best choice! Will continue watching one of my favorite game shows.
1
-
P
Ken is great and doing a splendid job! I'm sure Alex Trebek would be very proud of his friend. I can't see anyone else doing a better job and fitting in on the show without losing the integrity of the show.
1
-
C
I this really miss Alex, he was a *friend after watching him all these years. That having been said, Ken is doing a fantastic job and is a pleasure to watch. He embodies all of Alex's theories on hosting and seems relaxed and happy. I hope he stays as the host.
1
-
O
Is getting more relaxed by the day. Imagine yourself having to try to fill Alex shoes ( very intimidating and nerve wracking). I honestly tought I wouldn't enjoy him but like I said he gets better. I am certain Alex would be having Ken replacing him as a permanent position. And on top he is very smart. Let's face it nobody is Alex but Ken would be the next best thing.
Bravo to Ken on a not an easy task. Job well done.

Ken is no Alex, but he is doing a great job, a lot better than I thought he would do.. Keep up the good work.. You got my vote,Ken..
1

G
I think Ken Jennings is great. I cannot foresee any other guest host fitting in as naturally as he has. Alex Trebec would be proud, I believe. Jennings should become the host!!
1

C
Ken Jennings is doing a GREAT job! Since he has been in the contestants' shoes, he is very kind to them. He seems very relaxed in the position. I love how he thanks Alex at the end of every show. I most sincerely hope he gets the Host position permanently. Thank You, Ken, for being You. 🥰🥰

I love Ken! He is bringing in a breath of fresh air and youthful energy. He will attract a new generation of viewers. He is classy, sharp, humorous, and professional. I really hope they keep him as the new permanent host.

P
I love Ken and think he is doing great. I also think Alex would be happy to know that Ken will be his successor.
1

P
Alex would be proud! Ken Jennings obviously loves Jeopardy as much as Alex did. I believe that he is doing a fine job and will improve and grow as he continues. In time I think the audience will love him. He is humble, intelligent and has a lovely demeanor.

O
Ken Jennings should be the the permanent host of Jeopardy. He is doing a wonderful job and getting better everyday
1
-
P
Jennings is doing a great job. My husband, being a huge Jeopardy fan, was sure noone would be able to take on being the new host. He was impressed with Ken Jennings almost right away. Ken's demeanor & pattern of speech is so close to Alex's. I agree, Couric & others will not help the show.
1
-
G
Love Ken. Make him permenant host!
1
-
O
Ken is outstanding. He is the only one that could fill Alex’s shoes. He is bright, charming and quick witted. I wouldn’t watch if the network chose anyone other than Ken
1

Ken is awesome - Alex would be proud. Ken would make the best replacement!!

I hope he gets to be the PERMANENT host !!! He is doing a great job !! Alex is proud !!!

He is doing a great job hosting Jeopardy. I think Alex started grooming him to be his replacement. Keep him permanently!
1

C
I don’t think anyone will ever replace Alex Trebek.Just not the same
1

G
He is doing a wonderful job
1
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job! He is easing into the position slowly, but surely.... and having been a contestant himself, he seems to relate well to the daily contestants on their level. He is humble, knowing he'll never fill Alex's shoes, nor does he try! Good job, Ken!!
1
-
C
Ken Jennings should be chosen as host. He loves the game and is so respectful towards Alex
1
-
P
Ken Jennings is great! He's done so well with taking over the roll of Alex and did such a wonderful job the first episode paying honor to him. I sure hope they choose Ken to be the permanent host.
1
-
B
Ken is doing a great job! We all know that no one can do it like Alex but he will come into his own.
1

C
I think he's doing fantastic! That's a pretty big responsibility he's got and he's doing very well 🙂
1

Doing a great job. Could not ask for better.
1
-
O
I think Ken is doing a terrific job. His actions are wonderful, very humble and it is a pleasure to watch him.
1
-
B
I think as a player of Jeopardy player himself, Ken could be the only choice! Don't care for the other possible choices and as for Katie Couric, I would not be watching at ALL if she's the one, and don't know anyone else that would! She's just totally too controversial, with her remarks last week, I think you would be losing a lot of viewers if you did choose her. And the others I've seen mentioned? PLEASE!!!! They are not even interesting nor did they have anything to do with Jeopardy in the first place! Only reasonable choice is Ken...forego the others even trying out, because I won't be watching, not interested at all!!! Please choose Ken who is doing a remarkable job, so proud of him and he's perfect for this!!!!!
1

B
Anyone knows how to start an Online Petition so we can keep KJ as the host. He is the rightful extension of Alex and all Jeopardy fans who love the show and its history.

I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job! He should be the next Jeopardy host!!!!!💙🔷👲

R
He is doing a great job Alex would be proud

I think he’s doing a great job he gets better every show, he looks the part you understand him he was the best player ever it only makes sense.
1
-
P
I think Ken is doing a great job. You can't compare him to Alex but I'd really like him to continue. I really don't like the idea of bringing in a different host.
1
-
O
I think Ken J is doing a fantastic job. Who could replace Alex (nobody) but KJ is the closest to fit in his shoes. Congrats KJ you have my support and I hope they keep you on.
1

G
I’ve been impressed with Kens humbleness. I think he has done a great job.
1

O
He’s doing great. They don’t need to look any further.
1
-
R
I think that Ken is doing an excellent job, he looks like a natural up there. He is really trying to make Alex really proud and fill really big shoes. I think another good guest host for the show would be James. He was a very amazing contestant and would do Alex proud. I am from Sudbury just like Alex and I will miss seeing him every night.
1
-
P
I love him he is an auto fit so keep him. He needs to be offered the job!
1
-
C
Always been a kin Jennings fan. I think he’s doing a very good job. Let’s face it nobody will ever replace Alex. I think Alex would have been very pleased that Ken is doing the show. In fact he may have even suggested it. I hope they keep him permanently
1

G
Ken is the man for the job..
He is very smart speaks well. And is very grateful for the show he did so well in.

As a very long time Jeopardy fan, I think Ken is doing an absolutely fantastic job. His mind is johnny-on-the-spot as he responds to all situations. He seems to be very contestant friendly and they seem to have great respect for him. He's young and formidable and I believe is the right person for the job permanently. Seems unnecessary that the powers that be would not just appoint him.
1
-
R
It will take time to get used to a new host. No one cane fill the shoes of Alex. but Ken is doing a fine job.
1
-
P
Keep Ken
If anyone has the right to host Jeopardy he has earned it. Hands down!!!
1
-
G
Ken seems to be more comfortable with each show. He has handled the pressure really well and as the previous post said, by being humble and knowing he has huge shoes to fill. I truly hope they give Ken the permanent job, Alex would be proud.

I think he is doing just fine and is only going to get better. Relax and enjoy a bit more. Very impressive!
1

Ken is doing a fine job. He’s taken very well to it. No one will ever match Alex but he’s a good choice for his replacement.
1

O
Doing a great job a lot better than expected. Humble and nice to the contestants.
Thought it was a difficult job to take over from Alex and I wasn’t sure anybody could take his place but he really is doing very well. I think he should keep the job.
1

O
He’s doing great and I think he should be the new permanent host, if that’s what he wants. Love him as host!!

I think he is doin a great job!
1

I think he is doing great. I think they should just keep him and not chance it to others. Glad to see he has a good tailor... looking great in suits tailored for him.. I have watched him on Master Minds and his clothes don’t fit!
1
-
O
There’s no reason to keep running out guest hosts. Ken Jennings is doing a fabulous job and should immediately be named permanent host.
1
-
P
I absolutely love that he says "Thank you, Alex" at the end of each show. Just a quiet little tribute, no fanfare, no fuss. Lovely.
1

I think Alex would be pleased with him as his replacement. I think he is doing a great job.
1

G
Ken is doing a fantastic job!!!! I have always liked him but never thought of him as the host—but surprisingly he has been great!! Everyone that I have spoken with agrees, didn’t see this coming but he has our vote!!!! Not real excited about Katie Couric she is too political—need to keep politics out of Jeopardy!! Thank you!!

Ken Jennings is doing a great job and has my vote for permanent host!!

I think Ken is doing a great job and would like to see him continue.

He’s doing an awesome job. He stepped in behind Alex who can never be replaced, but the show must go on and he’s a very gracious and knowledgeable guest host.
1

P
Terrific Job! Can't imagine how difficult it is to do what has become Alex's legacy. He is humble. Alex would be so proud!

I think Ken is doing fine. I can feel the spirit of Alex in the way he conducts the show.

I really like Ken Jennings as the host! He is the perfect choice. Alex Trebeck would have wanted him to be the permanent host.

Ken is doing a wonderful job! Wasn't sure what it would be like watching Jeopardy without Alex, but with Ken doing the job it is awesome as always!

I love watching Ken hosting Jeopardy. Have been a long time fan and think his wit and professionalism are excellent.
1

Ken is doing a great job! I say give it to him permantly!

Ken is doing a great job. I think you should keep him and tell Katie and the others, no thank you.

C
I think he's doing a really good job. Leave it the way it is and skip the other guest hosts. If it's not broken....
1

O
Ken’s a natural! Refreshingly bright and witty and a forever jeopardy fan. I think some of the celebrities will distract from the show’s essence. Go Ken👏

Ken has done a great job. Quick and fast with responses, reads questions perfectly and good sense of humor. I think he could be the one if he would chose to do the show.

Ken is getting better with each show. no one else will be smart enough to add little remarks on answers like he has knowledge to do.smart on all subjects he is very smart on very varied subjects. jim thompson

Ken J, was a good call from Alex to bridge this awkward occasion of our relation with Alex and the game. Thank you
1

Love Ken Jennings as host! Certainly hope he is the new permanent host.

I think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job. I really thing you should go no farther in looking for a new host. He has a stunning connection with Jeopardy and he and Alex Trebek were great friends after Ken's win.
1

Ken is doing an amazing job. We look forward to watching jeopardy daily.

He is doing a great job and gets better all the time. No one will be as good as Alex, however.

He is outstanding! I think the decision should be made now to continue with Ken. I cannot imagine anyone of the others coming close to Ken.
1

I think he’s done an amazing job especially under the difficult situation of coming in immediately following Alex. His comfort level improved after just a couple of episodes.
1
-
B
Ken jennings is doing a great job! He needs to relax just a little But hes ok!!
1
-
G
I think Ken is doing a great job. But I do agree that he needs to slow down his speech and calm down.
1
-
G
I think he is great. But he does speak real fast. Sometimes hard to understand
1
-
B
I think his nervousness was obvious at first, but he has really settled in. Hopefully he'll be able to slow down his speaking a bit. He's doing a great job, and I think he should be the permanent host IF he wants the job.
-
-
G
He’s doing well. No to the woman who ruined Big Bang theory. Give the job to Jennings .
1
-
G
Keep Jennings. If you put Couric on millions will stop watching jeopardy!! Ratings will drop substantially.
1
-
P
He’s doing pretty good! I have one complaint though. He speaks a little too fast for the deaf who are trying to read the closed captions.
1
-
P
He is doing better and better as the shows go on! I do wish that he would slow down his speech .
1
-
B
Ken is a perfect fit for the role on Jeopardy. He is very quick and responsive to situations. He handled the double win very well and does not stumble when unexpected situations arise. I like his wit, humor and intelligence. He is sometimes a little hurried; however, as time goes on, I am confident that he will slow down and become more relaxed. I certainly vote for Ken as the host going forward.
1
-
C
Ken has knocked it out of the park!! What a fabulous job he has done in pulling off a near impossible task.. way to go! He absolutely exceeds every checked box: intellect, genuine, humorous, personable with a professional grace. I so appreciate how he is sincerely enjoys the contestants and you feel he's rooting for them- love it! I'm enjoying the game more than ever.. learning more from his clue tidbits as well. Be done with the slew of guests hosts and hire the best. The fans will not tolerate a celebrity parade in their living rooms.

For real! Just hire Ken and get it over with. I will not watch that witch Katie couric...what the heck are they thinking?

Ken Jennings is proving an excellent host for Jeopardy. He is improving daily. His humble demeanor directs attention to the show and not to him. He’s perfect. I can’t imagine anyone better.
1
-
C
I think Ken Jennings has done a wonderful job as a guest host. I believe it is a tribute to the legacy of the show and Alex for him to continue. In a personal note after Katie Couric’s comments last week I believe you could possibly lose about 75 million viewers if she does host. I know that I will be one of those!
1

P
My husband and I also agree! No big time celebrity will work anyway!

Would love to see Ken as the permanent new host. S learning who else is on deck to be guest hosts, I am inclined not to watch even though Jeopardy is my daily show while having dinner. He’s been one of the greatest contestants and knows how to interact with the contestants. I don’t see where Aaron Rogers fits in or Mayom Bialak in this role. My vote is for Ken!
1

G
Well, Mayim Bialek is a neuroscientist, not just an actress.
4 6
-
-
C
He is the perfect person to assume the role of host. I enjoy watching him and feel comfortable with the way he conducts the show. The only improvement I can suggest is that occasionally, there is a slight delay when he confirms that a contsetant gets the corret answer. To a viewer, who still remembers Art Fleming, it ever so slightly effects the tempo of the game. I still would'nt want anyone else as host.
1
-
B
I like Ken’s effort on Jeopardy. There is a sense of humbleness because he knows he can’t fill Alex’s shoes, but he doesn’t try!
He is just himself, doing a very good job. I am enjoying watching Jeopardy everyday.
1
-
P
K J is doing fine, but he needs to relax a bit and slow down his speech pattern, He sounds nervous needs to be a bit more casual.
30 10

B
He probably Is somewhat nervous I think everyone of us would be if we were put into this position.

G
Ken is a natural fit for the position. He’s intelligent, articulate, amicable, well groomed with a sense of humor to boot. He knows the game and so far hasn’t missed a beat. We still want to have dinner with Jeopardy and Ken every weekday evening. We’ve only seen him but he has our vote!!
1

R
I think he’s doing great! I feel that he had become rather close to Alex after competing in so many episodes of the game & think he would make a great permanent host, if he wants the job.

R
I think Ken Jennings is indeed a good host for jeopardy
-
P
Ken is the best.
-
B
After watching all the hosts I pick Ken Jennings for a permanent replacement for Alex!
I very much enjoyed him as host. The others were good but not in the same category
as Ken Jennings. This should be his show now.
-
O
I liked Ken . He is jeopardy
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is a perfect host for Jeopardy! Dr. Oz is the worst person for the job! He is so fake and I for one would not enjoy watching the show if he is the permanent host!
-
C
Please bring back Ken Jennings that he is the jeopardy legendary! Mike was bad, Katie is a disaster and OZ is too bad!
-
O
Ken Jennings is amazing and he is the jeopardy legendary!
-
G
I do think 99% of all the I Like Ken comments are from people living in Utah. Far too over the top.
-
G
Ken is a member of the LDS church (Mormon). Your comment seems to rightly point out many of the glowing comments are from Utah I would have to think.
-
G
Um, no.
-
-
R
Ken has the desire, knowledge, experience and personality. Make the new permanent host Ken Jennings
-
G
Ken and Mike were great, the rest of the choices are not good, sorry to say will stay away from my favorite show Jeapordy, until Ken or Mike, return.
-
O
Ken Jennings done a great job! He's a keeper!!!
-
B
Ken Jennings should be brought back! So engaging. Miss him. Have a hard time watching now.
-
P
isasmart ,personable he is the choice
-
P
I find him to be a bit mean. His comment about David Bowie and a lady’s hairstyle- not too kind. However, Jennings has had big shoes to fill and he is decent.
-
B
Ken is perfect! This new mike guy is not a good fit and very dull.
-
R
Next to Alex Trebek Ken Jennings has the intellectual prowess and wit to be the the natural heir successor
Don’t need guest hosts as you may lose viewership
-
O
hes very good
-
O
Ken Jennings as done a fantastic job
-
B
I think he has done an excellent job and is a true mentor for Alex
-
C
Kudos for stepping up Ken. I really think that there's another host out there that needs a chance.
-
G
I think they should try LeVar Burton, he would be an excellent Host for Jeopardy!
-
G
Doing a great job
-
O
Nice
-
G
Ken is the one. Don't need another person to audition. There are two that are supposed to try out and if they should get it over Ken, I will never watch Jeopardy again. It is my favorite show and I thought when Alex passed that Jeopardy's days were numbered but Alex has proven me wrong. He is doing a superb job and very likeable and has stepped up to the plate with dignity. Perfect for the job, no one better than Ken.
-
R
I love Ken Jennings...please keep him!!!! Every time the show ends and he says "thanks Alex" I cry. He has filled the spot so nicely I'm sure Alex is celebrating his replacement. Ken was a super contestant when he won all his games. Don't let him get away. 😍😃😍
-
C
It only took a couple of days to get used to Ken Jennings. He seems to really enjoy when a contestant gets the correct answer. Trebeck had a bad habit of reprimanding contestants when they missed a question. Ken should stay on. Having other interim hosts will only serve to disorient the viewers.
-
O
Ken has done an awesome job hosting Jeopardy and should be given the permanent position. If some of the other scheduled guest hosts appear, I will no longer watch.
-
P
I like Ken. He has achieved a lot in his life, and it shows. I don't need a BIG name to take Alex's place. It makes me nervous to think he might not be chosen for permanent host duties. That would be a gigantic slap in the face. Give Ken more than two weeks. After all, he has an emotional connection to Alex many of us would like to have.
-
O
Ken is great. Will not watch if Katie or Anderson get the job.
-
O
I think he done a great job. He knows the show better than anyone else. From the list of other names I will not watch any of them.
-
O
I think he is doing great, I am not excited about Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper. Both too political. Please keep politics out of Jeopardy, it is a half hour of escape that I enjoy. Won't be watching when they are the host . Keep Ken he makes it fun to watch. No one is Alex but I think Ken is doing well respecting his memory and love of Jeopardy.
-
P
Hes the best. Forget the others. Most people aren't crazy about them and Ken is doing a fantastic job.
-
C
Ken Jennings should be the official host of Jeopardy. The other you have listed, their egos may get in the way and that may cost you lower ratings of the show!
-
G
Ken Jennings is so natural as a host. I vote for Ken Jennings to be the new permanent host. Please do not take any chances for the show to lose its popularity by having others taking turns as it becomes more about the tv personalities rather than the wisdom of the show. Ken is perfect for the replacement host as it was Jeopardy that made him the all time winner and love of the game. Please don’t take away from the love and wisdom that the game offers the audience which in turn it such a popular success show that it is.
-
O
Ken is progressing nicely & will become more relaxed with time- why are a few so judge mental ?
-
G
Keep him! He’s been part of the Jeopardy family for years, and is so comfortable in Alex’s shoes...
-
P
I would like someone more personable like Alex Trebec was.

Does the network really care
What the viewers think?

No one can take Alex Trabek’splace
Ken Jennings is a natural to take over
As host!!!!
He has been part of the show and has done an amazing Job
-
G
I think Ken is doing a wonderful job. I hope they don’t put someone in the job who knows nothing about jeopardy, someone who had no connection to the show.
-
O
Ken is doing an exceptional job. You will never find another who understands and loves Jeopardy the way he does. He should absolutely be brought back as the permanent host.
-
G
I think Ken is the one. No one is Alex Trebek but Ken is coming in as a close second. He has history with Jeopardy. That shows.
I have absolutely NO interest in watching the other guest hosts. Please don’t disrespect my favorite show.
-
B
I think Ken did a nice job. It was a smooth transition after Alex and I think he would be proud.
I would NOT want to see Katie Couric as a permanent host of the show!
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is ok not great speaks softly and rushes the questions
-
P
GREAT!! Ken Jennings doesn't miss a beat. He is the right choice for permanent host. I have no interest in any of the other guest hosts. I will not be watching any of them.Great
-
B
Ken is doing an excellent job! But I absolutely refuse to watch Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Bill Whitaker and Savannah Guthrie. If any of them become the permanent host, my days of enjoying Jeopardy are over!
-
G
Ken Jennings is a terrific Jeopardy host. IF he is agreeable, I hope you make him permanent. Of all the other suggested names, I can't imagine any one of them doing as good a job.
-
B
Ken Jennings is the perfect fit for Jeopardy. Quick and very intelligent. I am not impressed with some of the others that are selected to guest host.
-
O
Ken is doing a great job and I can see him as the permanent host. My family and I have been Jeopardy! watchers forever but if Couric, Cooper, Gupta, Oz or Gutherie are made the host we will definitely not watch anymore. Go Ken!!!!!!
-
G
I never thought I could get used to another mcee after Alex but I think Ken Is doing an amazing job. I’m not in favor of trying out other hosts, especially Katie Couric.
-
T
With the list of other people they have announced will guest host, he should be a lock. I mean, Katie Couric? Aaron Rogers? Mayim Bialik? Good grief!!!
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice for the permanent host for Jeopardy. He is very articulate and handles the guests perfectly making them feel relaxed during their conservations with him. He reminds me of a young Alex. I would give up watching if he was not the "chosen one".
-
G
Ken does an excellent job as host. His style is very similar to Alex’s style, and that will serve the program best.
-
B
Ken has been great.He fits in...Please, In tribute to Alex,let's not have a circus of stars and their HUGE egos! I,m a senior who's watched since it was on at lunchtime! Please don't destroy it....It needs consistency...Katie Couric? No way! Please..Katie is about Katie,notJeapordy!
-
O
Ken Jennings is perfect for this job. He is very comfortable as the host and is very enjoyable to watch. Alex would have wanted him as well.
The last person I want to see on this show is Katie Couric!! She is not a people person and is way too political!
Go Ken! You are GOAT!! 💖
-
P
If ken Jennings is removed, I will never watch Jeopardy again.
-
G
I think they're only bringing in celebrity hosts so Ken Jennings has time to rearrange his life. He'll need to sell his house and move closer to the Jeopardy set! Ken is a natural, and has softened the loss of Alex. I appreciate that he thanks Alex at the end of every show.
-
O
Ken Jennings is fantastic .His performance makes me want to watch show every night . Alec trebek would pick Ken. His profile is a winner. Makes the show profile REAL!!! Ken should be the new moderator!
-
C
He has shown to me at least that he can step up to the podium every weeknight!
-
O
Please keep Ken as the permanent host. He has done an amazing job. I love that he thanks Alex at the end of each show.
-
G
Ken Jennings is doing an excellent job at hosting Jeopardy. He is a very good fit. He should b the permanent host. If Katie Couric is guest host I will not watch while she is hosting the show. She is too political and as a sometime Republican I thought she was very rude saying we have to be reprogrammed. Why does she think she is so much better than people "from the other party". That is one of the biggest problems we have in this country.
-
B
I was a long time Jeopardy fan but won’t watch him. Apologies or not, there’s no excuse for making fun of people with disabilities,”.
-
G
I think Ken is a natural fit and doing an awesome job. I wish the network would just see and accept this and allow him to continue on without having to go through the rigamorol of testing other possible hosts.
-
B
I love Ken Jennings - he's doing a great job!
-
B
He's perfect for the part. Smart, smooth and non-threatening. No one has better experience for the role. Don't put in someone with other acting/performance interests or for anticipated ratings..this is a job for the long haul and he hit the boards running.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is doing great. He is now relaxed so doing well
-
G
Doing a great job! No matter who you get it will never be the same without Alex!!
-
G
Ken should be permanent host. I don’t care for Couric.
-
O
I think he is doing great !!!! Hope he will be the permanent host !!!!
-
B
I think Alex Trebeck would choose Ken Jennings. You do not have to look any further. Give Ken a long three month trial. He is excellent and very suited for this job. We do not want to go through seeing other guest hosting. Just get on with this.
-
B
I am a long time fan of the show and I think Ken Jennings is by far the most logical choice to replace Alex. I am NOT going to even watch when Katie Couric is the guest host. Her recent comments about Trump supporters make me sick. People should respect a difference of opinion without wanting to put them in what is essentially a concentration camp.
-
O
I think Alex would be very pleased with how well Ken Jennings is doing. I hope he ends up getting the job. I have watched this show for more years than I remember. Never missing one. I will not watch Katie Couric. Will give others a chance but you can't beat Ken.
-
G
I think Ken is doing an outstanding job , He is very amiable to all and has 'kind of ' picked up on Alex Trebek's , "Choose No Favorite" , attitude and I Personally feel that he will make an excellent Full Time Host , if given time to pick up just a little more experience .
I see that the other chosen " Test Hosts " , ALL have Celebrity TV Backgrounds but I feel that Ken has an automatic development in this area from his own time spent as a Challenger , backed up by Charisma !.
-
B
I like Ken Jennings a lot and think he is doing a great job. He has earned the
spot and seems more and more relaxed as time goes on. Keep Ken!!!
-
G
Have you noticed at the very end as he closes the show he very subtly says “thank you Alex”
-
R
Ken is doing a fantastic job especially considering Alex was dear to all of us!!
love Jeopardy but put Couric on and I'll never watch again!!
-
O
I would not watch if Katie C. Hosts the show.
-
B
This show requires cognitive rapid function and cadenced delivery. Ken has both and Katie not only has neither, but her political stances will cause the show to lose it's historically conservative viewership.
-
O
I think Alex would approve.
-
P
Keep Ken Jennings . I will watch something else when Katie Couric is on.
-
C
I like Ken.I think a non celebrity is a good choice.
-
G
Ken Jennings is proving an excellent host for Jeopardy. We miss Alex Trebek And we Love the way Ken always Close the show by saying thank you Alex.
-
O
Need to see more choices please.
-
B
Doing well. Will not be watching if Katie Couric is host!
-
G
So far he is doing a good job and continues to get better!
-
C
After Katie Courics comment about deprogramming Trump supporters, we will not be watching Jeopardy if and when she is a guest host. She has no business making politically biased comments that offend millions of people..
-
G
Ken Jennings has a 74-winning streak. Being there for 74 episodes is already a feat, he knows Jeopardy already by heart. Why try other guest host?
-
B
He is doing a great job. Ken Jennings—Who should be Jeopardy’s permanent replacement host??
-
G
He is the BEST. Don't bother having any other guest hosts!!
-
R
Stop looking, Ken should be permanent host. Keep that fool Couric off TV.
-
C
We’ve lost Alex, then they gave us Ken Jennings who is very good as host. Now, they will start the guest hosts and confuse us all over again. Katie Couric, seriously? Stay with the Jeopardy hosts who know what they’re doing!
-
P
Keep Ken, he fits in perfectly. He's doing GREAT!
-
P
Alex was great because you could tell he believed in and loved the game. Ken has that same admiration and love for the game. Keep him. What is up about bringing Coric in when she just said half the country needs to be reprogrammed? She is too political and the show (and your ratings) do not need that.
-
P
Excellent. Ken Jennings takes Jeopardy seriously like Alex. Very personable, smart and I love him. Jeopardy doesn’t need a comedy act ... this is a game of intelligence
and Alex was just that as is Ken.
-
B
Excellent host n love his knowledge that he graciously shared. He is remarkable n they should keep him. Offer him the job. We are in our 80tise n Dr n MST educated.
-
B
Love Ken Jennings he is doing a great job, but will not watch if Katie Couric becomes a host.
-
C
I like him. He is humble. Not trying to be Alex or trying to be a star. He is very smart and that helps. I think he will get better as he goes along and create his own style. I do not like any of the other people trying out. They cannot compare and I will not watch them. Couric is an awful choice!
-
B
I think he is just getting better and better as he settles into the job. He is more relaxed and he's more comfortable with the contestants. I would hope he would definitely be considered for the permanent job. He loves the game. He's smart and has tremendous respect for Alex.
-
R
I think Ken gets better with each episode. He is beginning to find his own comfort zone. Alex is a tough act to follow and Ken had an attachment to Alex so that is evident. Ken is smart and personable and very welcoming. I sincerely hope the network revisits having Katie Couric emcee. I will not watch Jeopardy when she is hosting.
-
O
He’s doing a really good job and knows he will never replace Alex so he’s just being home. Only complaint is I feel he talks a little to fast - maybe slow down. Otherwise he’s doing great
-
O
Awhile back when the idea of KJ replacing Alex when he retired was floated, I wasn't in favor of it, didn't think just because he'd won a bundle, he would be qualified. But he has had some other experience since then, Master Minds on GSW (and it's predecessor), and The Chase currently on ABC. I love Jeopardy and record/watch every day, and since Alex passed away, and KJ was given this opportunity, I've got to say, he is doing a fantastic job. He is professional, kind and gracious, humble (thanking Alex at the end of each show) and he, like Alex, doesn't make the show about himself, he keeps it about the contestants, which honors Alex, I believe. I'd hate to see a comedian or actor trying to host, they'd be apt to joke too much or hog the spotlight. I think KJ brings a great balance to the job and I hope he will be chosen to continue for some time.
-
O
Ken is doing an ok job, but I’m looking forward to other guest hosts
-
B
Mr. Jennings needs not speak so quickly. He appears to be nervous.
He does not have the Trebek charm.
-
P
I think he is doing a fantastic job. I like his style and mannerism. He’s a great choice
-
B
Ken needs to slow down...a lot.....its very hard to understand when he gives the answer
-
P
Great
-
P
ken is perfect as the moderator Definitely NOT looking forward to Katie Couric. Is it too late to cancel her appearance?
-
O
Absolutely no to even trying Katie curik
-
C
Ken read a little fast the first two days then got better as each day went by.
-
G
He’s doing great. Maybe slow down when speaking. These old folks are finding the fast speaking hard to hear/follow
-
O
Ken is doing good but won't watch one episode with Katie!
-
O
I would like to see other guest hosts, pretty hard to know how well he is doing if the only one you can compare him to is Alex!!!
-
P
We think he is doing great, no need to look any further.
-
O
Ken Jennings is a natural. To put some so-called star instead of Ken Jennings is a disgrace to Alex. Ken Jennings is a natural and should replace Alex Trebek. If anyone other than Ken is put in the spot, I'll not watch the show. We don't need a celeb at the podium.
-
O
Ken is doing a wonderful job. Hopefully he is going to be permanent. If I have to see Kathy Couric I will Stop watching.
-
B
I think he is doing great I hope he really gets the job I think Alex would want that the others don’t sound promising especially Katie couric
-
P
I’d like to see other hosts before making a decision or comment. Being a winner on the show doesn’t necessarily make you a good host.
-
B
I think he's doing well, but he is no Alex Trebek. I'm also anxious to see the other guest hosts.
-
-
R
I think it is very usual not to see one negative response.
-
B
There have been a handful of negative responses but not many.
-
-
O
I'll never watch again if he's not chosen.
1 1
-
B
I agree that Ken should be permanent, but I'm interested in how the other guest hosts will do.
-
-
C
I'm happy with Ken; he is a familiar face, having been part of Jeopardy for so long. Outsiders don't seem to fit. But the easiest way to convince the producers is to simply not tune in when they're hosting. Ratings are the only argument they'll hear.
-
P
I like him more than I thought. He replicates Alex Trebec’s hosting style which is a safe tactic. I’d like his slight lisp to go away. It distracted me when he was a contestant and still does.
1 1
-
B
I am eager to see others host the show before making a decision.

-
R
He’s ok / but please let Brad have a chance!!! Brad is better than Ken and James in the Chase

C
I’d like to see others and compare them. I’d like to see Reading Rainbow star Burton as well.

-
O
At least for now.
with Ken on the show, it give us the feeling that Alex is on vacation.
-
P
This is the 5th or 6th week Ken Jennings has been on. What happened to the others who are supposed to host. Sorry, but if Ken Jennings gets the position, I won't watch any more. I would sure like to see some one else as host. I just don't like the guy.
1
-
P
Do not like Ken Jennings. Knowing some of the things he has said in the past makes him unworthy to replace Alex. Please find a better fit for Jeapordy!!
1
-
C
Don’t like him at all. I know he is trying but his voice is irritating.
1
-
R
I disagree, he comes off as condescending and his lisp is annoying. Hard to listen to.
1
-
G
He majes me NERVOUS. He tries too hard. He lacks the wit and charm that makes for a good host. Please watch Meredith Vieira
1
-
G
His staccato style, highly modulated voice detracts from the program.
1
-
G
He's doing all right, but I find it uncomfortable listening to his high pitched, almost shrill voice and his speaking too fast, compared to Alex's calm, soothing voice. He needs to slow down and to try to be so intense.
1
-
P
Jennings is a very smart man but not tv material.
1. He’s not a good looking man. Kind of Howdy Doody looking.
2. His high pitch voice is annoying.
3. His rapid fire speech pattern is irritating.
Again, a very intelligent man but not suited for tv. Wish him well but glad when his time on tv is over.
1
-
O
I don’t care for Jennings as host of Jeopardy. He tries to imitate Alex in body language, responses and fails. I want a host that is relaxed and personable. If he continues on to be the permanent host I will no longer watch the show. Let’s see some other candidates.
1
-
B
Ken is a nice guy, but he is condescending. I just don’t think that he is a good TV personality.
1
-
P
I think he is awful ! Find someone who is easier on the eyes and a more commanding voice! Had to turn it off! He is terrible!
1
-
R
I think Jennings is very monotone and very slow reacting to the answers
1
-
G
Need a better host. Very dry humor.
1
-
G
Ken simply does not the voice for Jeopardy. Would like to see how Brad does.
1
-
B
I’m apparently in the minority, but I think Ken lacks charisma. I’m interested in seeing how others do.
1
-
G
OMG I’m shocked. I like Ken Jennings as a contestant. But I feel he lacks the charisma and presence needed to host the show. Ken lacks the sophistication that Jeopardy deserves. I agree he’s getting better over time. In my opinion, he just doesn’t have what it takes to host Jeopardy.
I’m very anxious to see how the other guest host pan out.
1
-
G
I'm not digging Ken as the host, he doesn't vibe with the contestants well. He also reads a little too fast and is mush mouthed. I feel like they can find someone better.
1
-
R
Ken is nice but not polished enough.. Brook Burns would do a much better job. She is excellent on the Chase and Master Minds.
1
-
B
I do not care for ken Jennings. Will not continue to watch if he continues as host.
1
-
O
I can’t stand his voice . I hope he does not become the permanent host .
1
-
C
Ken Jennings talks too much and tries too hard to be funny. He comes across as stiff and a big phony. Jeopardy needs someone warmer and more down to earth.
1
-
O
Although I enjoyed Ken very much as a contestant, I'm not liking him as host. I find his voice and intonations very annoying. I'm no longer too upset about missing an episode and I've been a huge fan for decades. I'm looking forward to others having a try.
1
-
B
I think he's doing well, but he is no Alex Trebek. I'm also anxious to see the other guest hosts.
-
-
J
My answer is: None of the Above. I would have chosen the "Okay" option, but it's not that I think he's awkward. I just want to see how others do it, just for comparison.
1
-
B
He is ok. I would like to see how others stack up next to him.
1
-
G
He needs to slow his delivery. It’s much too fast.
1 2
-
O
He’s terrible. His arrogance and fake humility are the opposite if Alex Trebeck
2
-
R
His voice is not a good idea
2
-
O
He lets his ego get in the way
2
-
C
I dont think Ken Jennings had the right personality for the show. We dont enjoy watching it anymore. Hoping they choose someone else.
2
-
G
Hoping Levar Burton will get a chance to host. I don't think because someone was a champion and had a relationship with Alex Tribeck makes them the heir apparent.
2
-
C
As a disabled women who is wheelchair bound someday, I question Ken’s tweet, “there is nothing sadder than a pretty girl in a wheelchair”. Sorry I’m not a ‘pretty girl’. I guess Ken won’t be sad. However, the remark makes me cringe as I ponder all those in a wheelchair who obviously won’t measure up to Ken’s approval. Do we really want this guy to be the face of Jeopardy? The late, great Alex, would never approve.
2
-
B
I'm really surprised he made such a comment. Was that recently? I don't do Twitter.
-
-
O
Much nicer than Trebek. Thought he was haughty and dismissive. I hated his "good for you" comment when contestants gave their intos.
2
-
O
Ken obviously has tons of experience playing jeopardy and he's got the right vibe with contestants, but his voice is irritating. I'd like to see other guest hosts before saying Ken should be the permanent host.

Arrogant... not warm

Never liked Ken Jennings when he was a contestant. Do not like him as a host, especially dislike his voice.

G
I think hes trying and is smart but the replacement should notbe someone trying to be a doover That cant be
The replacement has to be someone charming and refreshing but different
1 4
-
B
I have not, and will not, watch Ken Jennings as host of Jeopardy. I didn’t like him as a contestant, but he sealed the deal for me when he made the decision to post his political views on social media. I am sick & oh-so tired of politics in every aspect of our lives. Jeopardy has always stayed away from politics. Even worse than Jennings is Katie Couric, who thinks I should be reprogrammed
3
-
B
What have Ken and Katie said? I guess I have missed those things.
-
-
O
He isn’t a good fit. His voice is too high, causing him to be difficult to understand. He is not a natural. Find someone with a deeper voice and a more jovial personality.
3
-
O
He’s doing fine with the “game” but he just seems to lack something.... maybe personality and interaction with the contestants🥴🥴🥴???
1 4
-
G
Ken Jennings "looks" the part. He is nice looking, clean cut and dresses well. I'm sure the show has something to do with how he dresses. However, I find his voice quite irritating. It is not at all well modulated like Alex Trebek's was. I do hope they find someone with the right look and the right voice for this all important job.

I think you need a new person you can't hardly hear him he don't have the voice for it we won't watch it if you keep him.

Works hard, but comes across as bland and blah.

He's boring. He needs to be more energize. I have not been able to watch a complete show.

He is awful. I don't like his voice and he sounds so condescending all the time

I like Ken, but I’m not sure he’s the man for the job. First, he needs to slow down....he talks way too fast. Second, I don’t think he has the tone of voice needed to be understood.
5
-
O
Wrong choice . They should pick Kenan Thompson. KT can sing, I like the whaup with that song. Would have more entertaining, and the show ratings would have gone up.
1 6
-
C
Ken is not a trained broadcaster and has only hosted the show for two weeks! Yes, he needs to slow his delivery, but looking at the early shows Alex hosted, his delivery was also much faster. As great as Alex was, even he had to grow into the show. However, other guest hosts like Bill Whitakker or neuroscientist Mayim Bialik may prove to be a more appropriate successor to Alex because of their diversity and training.
1 6
-
B
Get a real game host,he doesn't have what it takes.get him off the show and get a real host or take jeopardy off tv.he is only ruining the show.
5
-
C
Given the remarks he’s made on Twitter or whatever it was I don’t think he’s appropriate. His high pitched voice doesn’t help either. After two weeks he’s still stiff and awkward. Keep looking.
5
-
O
This is my opinion and mine only. How fair is it to offer a job to a former contestant who has won the most money? So all the others don't get a chance to fill Alex Trebek's shoes? Just think its corny that he is in the spot he's in just because he's smart and is the biggest winner of Jeopardy. Hats off to all of you contestants that have had the privilege to play on Jeopardy. I'm just sad you all ran short on winning the most money and number of times to have a shot of Hosting Jeopardy.

He is stiff, awkward, and completely lacks charisma. He's basically an amateur who's aping Trebek's delivery style, and doing so poorly. He's also dragging some serious controversy behind him. I pray the producers will replace this bland, uninspiring wet noodle with a professional who knows how to convey some genuine excitement and enthusiasm in front of a TV camera. I can't imagine what show everyone else is watching. Jennings is a train wreck.

Ken is boring !

You need to pay attention to the show instead of assuming he is bad. Optimism is the best way to accept Ken. He is doing a great job as the host but he could never replace the great Alex Trebek.
