TV Insider’s Poll Results Are in — Did ‘Jeopardy!’ Guest Host Ken Jennings Get the Thumb’s Up?
It’s been almost a month since Jeopardy!‘s been on air without the late Alex Trebek, who will forever be missed. But it does seem as if the show’s first guest host, Ken Jennings, is making quite the good impression.
Taking the helm on January 11, Jennings has moved smoothly into the temporary role, trading in the contestant buzzer for cue cards. (Other guest hosts on the horizon include Katie Couric, Mayim Bialik, and Anderson Cooper.)
After Jenning’s had two weeks under his belt, we asked our readers to vote in a poll that rates the job he’s doing with the hosting gig. And it seems like a win! As of the time of this posting, almost 11,000 poll participants voted “Good! He’s fitting in well.”
ABC/Peggy Sirota
Meanwhile, 1,089 of those who participated (8%), believe Jennings is “Okay. He’s a little awkward.” Only 885 people (7%) voted “Not great. They should pick someone else.” And a very small minority (2%) of those who participated are a bit indifferent, voting for “It doesn’t matter, I just love the show regardless.”
Let us know what you think of Jennings’ performance so far in the comments below, and don’t miss the upcoming guest hosts when they arrive later this season.

Ken is great. I love Jeopardy. However, I will not watch when Katie Couric is the host. She is too political. I watch Jeopardy to get away from politics. Katie is too far out there.

So true. I will never watch Savannah Guthrie since I saw how disrespectful she was to President Trump during his “debate.” Dhe fiesn’t have the class needed to stand in Alex Trevek’s shoes.

And now that Anderson Cooper is on the list, it will be the most political show on TV and could easily become the undoing of a great show.-

Anyone who has voiced any political comments should be immediately withdrawn. This has always been a neutral show.

Exactly. I will not watch with the political people as hosts.

Then that leaves Ken Jennings out. He Tweeted very liberal, political messages such as hoping that when the United States is bombed, he hopes they remember that it was the south and west that voted for President Trump (not verbatim).

Me, too. No to Katie Couric! Mayim Bialik will probably be a close second!

DUMP KATIE or watch your ratings sink. Could you get any more political. Alex would be horrified.

Ken has been steady and reassuring. He’s done a very good job and should get the nod to host permanently.

I watch Jeapardy every night. I loved Alex. He was so knowledgeable, professional, and human. Big shoes to fill. Ken Jennings has done an excellent job in his role as host. He knows and understands the ropes. Ken should get the job permanently. Go Ken.

G
Ken gets our vote wholeheartedly! His smooth delivery, wit, friendly banter with the contestants and respect for Alex’s legacy earns him the position of permanent host in our opinion. And just as important, he displays NO political agenda, which we CANNOT say about most of your other guest host candidates.

Ken is doing a great job. I can see that he has become more comfortable as time has passed. I would love to see him become the permanent host.

At first, I was skeptical if he could do it. He felt awkward at first. As time went on, I've wondered why you'd go with anyone else? He's not Alex and never will be. The thing he has made it feel comfortable to watch even after the legend is no longer the host. Keep Ken and skip any others.

Ken fell nicely into the role of host. He was quick to get into the rhythm and is very personable with the guests. He, just like Alex, makes the contestants the center and focus of the game. I also believe he puts them at ease. No need to look any further for a host.
57 4
-
G
I agree. I will watch the other guest hosts but only for comparison. I would not want to see any news media get the job. Ken is what Jeopardy needs.

Ken has grown into the role and is doing a great job. He should succeed Alex!

I like Ken Jennings very much. He's relaxed, able to quip with the contestants and feels homey because of his connection with Alex. I'm not sure we can improve on that.

O
I feel Ken has become much more comfortable as the host and it shows in his interactions with the contestants. I think Ken is a keeper however I am still interested in watching the other guest hosts with the exception of Katie Couric and Savanna Guthrie... too political. I want to leave that all behind when I tune in to Jeopardy. It’s a distraction.

Ken Jennings is doing an excellent job. Alex would be proud! 😀😍

I knew Alex personally and I think he would be very happy with the choice of Ken Jennings for the host of Jeopardy. He grew very nicely into the job and he is doing a great job with improvement every day. How hard is it to step into this position as a host after all these years of the magic of Alex. Like lots of others, I will not be watching the show if Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper will be the choice for hosting. KEEP KEN!

I won't watch Katie or Cooper either!

I think he is a lot better then some of the other replacements. He adjusted nicely and probably knows most of the answers anyway. I think some of the replacements would not handle it as well as Ken has

C
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job! He's smart and can easily pronounce all the "foreign" words while adlibbing with the guests. I think he should be added permanently! I can't see a woman doing Alex's job! I love Jeopardy and have for many, many years!

Jennings had been great. I love how he interacts with contestants. You can see how much he loves Jeopardy.

Originally I was not going to watch Jeopardy any more because it hurts when I think or see Alex😢but I than decided to watch Ken. It was just okay at the beginning but than it seems to get a bit better each day. I especially look forward to the end of the show when Ken says”thank you Alex”keep Ken!

When we are now starting to feel comfortable with a new host who happens to be wonderful, why do you have to switch it around with political commentators? No distractions with people that remind us politics, please

Ken has done a remarkable job. Let’s face it. No one will fill Alex’s shoes but I think Ken is going to be the best option after the others show what they’ve got to offer.

My husband and I think that Ken J is doing a great job respectfully taking the helm. We like that he knows the game from the inside out! We give him a loud "yes!"

Ken is doing a great job! The new host doesn’t need to be a “celebrity”. The show is about the game not a person. Ken is known for being a great player who understands the game firsthand. What better person to be host!!

O
As far as being a celebrity goes; ANY fan of "Jeopardy!" KNOWS who Mr Jennings is. He was on for SO LONG, I was getting bored with him winning all the time.

I was concerned, but after watching, he is doing a great job! No one will ever be Alex and that isnt what he is trying to be... he shows respect for Mr. Trebek at the end of every show! Thank you, Alex!

Ken Jennings is perfect as guest host, now just make Ken The Host of Jeopardy. He had a true connection and respect for Alex.

G
Ken is supporting the jeopardy tradition and doing a fine job
31
-
O
Please make Ken the permanent host of Jeopardy. I knew he would be a great replacement because of his intellect and his personality. I was so right; he is a natural and carried himself as though he had been doing it for years. Ken is definitely the right person to take over from Alex whom I believe would be very proud of him. I don't know why you need to bring in a famous star when you already have one in Ken Jennings!

Ken has done an excellent job!! Very enjoyable, great with the contestants, and have a good sense of humor. Dont think anyone could take Alex' place. But he is excellent. Bravo!

B
He is excellent and has the attitude to become an excellent host. No one should compare him to Alex that is unfair. He can make his own mark.
27

O
Ken should be hands-down successor. He's crushing it. I will not watch Couric or Cooper or Guthrie as they come with political baggage that offends 49% of Americans. Bad move on the producer's part.

B
Ken Jennings would be excellent replacement. He has been on both sides and understands what the tension the contestants experience.

I love Alex and Ken is the next best thing go far. His interactions with the contestants are smooth. He’s also very knowledgeable and adept in pronouncing those foreign phrases. Hats off to ken.
26 1
-
O
I think that they should leave it like it is with Ken hosting. I love the show and loved and miss Alex , but I will not watch if they give the show to any of the other ones they have lined up. Why do they think anyone of them could do better than Ken. Dr Oz give me a break. Really. Just because they are known on tv doesn’t mean they can host any where near as well as Ken.
I believe Alex would have approved of Ken.
26 2
-
O
Not impressed with the lineup of guest hosts following Ken, particularly Katie Couric. I am hoping that Ken will eventually be named the official successor.
23
-
O
Ken is doing a marvelous job - but please, Dr. Oz? He is a font of misinformation and it would be an insult to the show, the viewers and the memory of Alex Trebek to even have him guest host one episode! Keep Ken!
24 1

R
I think Ken is doing a fabulous job and honoring Alex at the same time. I've been watching since 80s and I really miss Alex but just knowing how much Ken thinks of Alex is a huge plus for me. Ken is actually the reason I got my dad to watch as well. That ended up being a great memory for me. I can't imagine watching anyone but Alex except for Ken. Perhaps someone with a strong Christian belief could keep me watching. Wish Ken coukd stay tho. 🙏

I think Ken is doing a great job! As he relaxes more each day his warm personality is expressed and he interacts well with the contestants. He’s a great fit!!!👏👏

Love Ken. He’s sharp, charming, engaging and clearly understands this game. Let’s keep him!
24 2
-
C
At first, it seemed Ken had carefully studied and adopted Alex’s cadence and style, but as the weeks progressed, Ken has relaxed a bit and inserted a bit of his own style. He has his own way of honoring his predecessor and honoring the contestants. He is an excellent choice to host Jeopardy!
22 2
-
B
Ken is an intelligent and positive host. The questions have gotten harder and he seems to get the best responses from the contestants. I vote for Ken to be the permanent host. He deserves it. And I love hearing him thank Alex.
21 1

O
I admit I was skeptical at first, but Ken is great! I would prefer he be made the permanent host. If he is not, depending on who is ultimately chosen, I will no longer watch Jeopardy. Please keep Ken.

G
I think he’s done a fantastic job. It’s hard because people will naturally compare him to Alex and that is t fair to Ken or Alex. He has proven himself as he moves from show to show! I love Jeopardy and wish him all the best, just as Alex would!
20 2
-
P
Won’t watch couric, cooper or Guthrie, none of them strike me as too intelligent or being able to resist using the show to advance their political agendas and views. They will ruin the show. Don’t want to see the level of difficulty of questions watered down or politicized. The job belongs to Ken.

I think Ken Jennings is doing just wonderful! I have been watching him closely and I like how he interacts with the contestants. His pronunciation of the words are perfect and, frankly, I think he’s a great fit. We will always remember Alex, but Ken will continue to do a great job as his replacement in my opinion. I don’t need to see any other subs.
18 1
-
O
I am a huge fan of Ken already! Having been a previous contestant he fits in well with the contenders. He is so kind to acknowledge Alex from time to time and to thank him at the conclusion of every show. It must be incredibly hard to try to fill Alex's shoes but I believe that Alex would agree that no one can fill his shoes any better than Ken. They had a wonderful, close relationship and I know he is smiling down on Ken's performance as the guest host thinking why bother with anyone else! We don't want any political in that role and a few of the guest hosts listed are very political! Give the job to Ken! He has years to grow into the role and the hearts of the viewers! Alex will always be the G.O.A.T. however! 😇

I have been a Jeopardy fan since the 1980’s and am absolutely thrilled that Ken is doing such a great job!! His humility, respect and apparent gratitude in filling Alex’s big shoes is apparent. He is also a gifted conversationalist and handles the contestant intros with ease and humor. Way to go Ken!!

Please keep Ken as permanent host and keep show a-political. Ken has a very good cadence in reading questions which helps contestants to buzz in. He has proven knowledge of trivia, very humble but firm host. Love him.

G
While no one can replace Alex, I must agree with most of the posts that Ken has done an outstanding job as the first guest host out of the gate. I am also of the opinion that it would be hard to watch a guest host who is very outspoken about their political views. Jeopardy has been my happy place through all of this political drama. I heard that Aaron Rodgers was slated to take his turn at the helm. Being a Green Bay Packers fan, I would enjoy watching him host for a week. Ken Jennings has proven he can do the job with class, if he wants the permanent gig, I say give it to him. He definitely has the chops.
14

To my surprise Ken has moved smoothly into the hosting role. I like his demeanor with just enough humor. I believe that he will carry on the amazing tradition of Jeopardy that Art Fleming and Alex Trebek lovingly and brilliantly created. Please make Ken permanent.

Ken Jennings is the only host to replace Alex, if someone else I won’t be watching the show I love ,it should be a no brained :kemN Jennings for sure,!

I think Ken Jennings is doing an EXCELLENT JOB !!!! He is personable and treats all the contestants well, which helps to make them feel at ease and comfortable. I prayed for Alex Trebek from the moment I heard about his illness. Still miss seeing him walk out, but, Ken Jennings would be a great transition.!!! I think he should be the “ Chosen One “. No need to “try out “ others who already have fine jobs. No need to look any further. YEA KEN !!!

Ken Jennings does a great job. Very enjoyable.
However, while Katie Couric is on I will not be watching. Her voice is like fingers on a blackboard for me and she's way too political.

-
G
He's gotten better. But I understand why he would be nervous, difficult to fill in for a man who did that job for many years. I think they should hire him as the permanent host. Well done, Ken Jennings. You're doing well.
14 1
-
C
I think Ken Jennings out to be named permanent host. He's been on both sides, as a contestant and host, and is an avid Jeopardy fan as well as the GOAT of trivia. Ken has a deep affection and connection with the Alex and would be an incredible addition to the show. I can't see anyone else taking that position as flawlessly as Ken has.
12
-
O
Ken Jennings does great justice to Alex Trebek's legacy! There couldn't be a more appropriate choice. He's well qualified and he has the depth of the knowledge needed for this job. None of the scheduled hosts can match it for sure!

G
He is soing a great job...plus for me he is a bridge to the memory of Alex Trebek. I want him to remain as the host...

Ken Jennings is the best in continuing in Alex T.'s role. His professionalism, love for the game, keeping the game moving smoothly, in a commanding way, that keeps the focus on the contestants and the game, are just a few of his game show host attributes. To think that Ken is doing so well in just a few short weeks is commendable. Alex T. had a distinguished career for nealy 40 years! I WILL STOP WATCHING YOUR SHOW IF K.COURIC AND ANDERSON COOPER, HOST. How can you even consider Couric who states "we need to reprogram these people who sign up to the cult of Trump" and who apparently supports Totalitarianism in a state that controls everything and there is no value for an individual's thoughts or opinons. Anderson Cooper of CNN with his political views is all I don't want to think about , watching Jeopardy. Please know, this long-time Jeopardy viewer and I imagine, other viewers, watch your show for the challenge of the game and to escape "these people" and their political platform.

I think Ken Jennings fits in perfectly. He is the best choice for the show. There is little change from Alex to Ken and I think the viewers appreciate this most of all. Alex was such an icon to Jeopardy and I for one appreciate Ken Jennings for reconizing how the viewers loved him. I will not watch the show if Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper host....they are not at all worthy to follow Alex Trebek. As far as my family and I are concerned we vote for KEN JENNINGS as Alex Trebek's replacement!!! God Bless Alex's family! We will always love Alex and his family!!

I think Ken Jennings is a very good fit for the role of host of Jeopardy. No one will ever fill Alex's shoes we all know that . Ken I feel has done very good job show flows along well and his banter with contestants very good. Love his added signoff each night thanking Alex as well. I think he is our guy to take over. The other people chosen all have already made a name for themselves and Ken should get the opportunity to have this role. Pretty seamless transition , at least I think.
11
-
C
Ken is doing a good job. Not easy taking over a position held by such a respected well- loved host. No one will replace Alex. If we love Jeopardy we will need to adjust to a new host.
Ken will carry the torch for Alex very well. Team Ken!

I have watched Jeopardy since the days of art Fleming and I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job. Most of the others mentioned as guest hosts are too political or they would not be a good fit, especially Katie couric, Anderson Cooper, or Dr Oz. You have a good host just stay with him

G
I think he was very, very good, I think alex would be proud! I dont believe anyone who has used their platform to make nasty political comments about the opinions of certain Americans should be on that stage, Alex respected everyone of us and never in all his years on stage or off disrespected anyone or voiced his opinion just because he could! If there is a host who disrespected some of our Americans, myself along with friends and family will not be watching! Sorry, but there needs to be someone who respects all people!

Ken has settled into the role of host perfectly and kept the integrity of Jeopardy to the standard that would make Alex Trebek so proud, and makes us want to keep watching . No need to look further Ken Jennings is your man.
The ridiculous parade of guests hosts to follow Ken, will turn the show into a farce . Losing Alex Trebek was a tremendous loss and tragedy, don't dishonor the show he built by having attention hungry celebrities guest host. Don't turn Jeopardy into a sleazy reality show, we have enough of those.

He is doing an excellent job. It seems like he’s been doing it for years. Always miss Alex of course but I don’t think that there’s any need to try out other guest hosts. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Ken is doing a great job..... please dont put anyone else in that spot... your possibilities are not good ....for the last 4 years I’ve had to endure cnn and nbc and their one sided reporting and now I’ve been told to deprogram. Really where do people come up with these ideas. I’ve switched to Fox News .. I’ve been watching jeopardy for as long as I can remember and will continue to do so as long as you don’t make a big mistake and you know what that is

As far as I am concerned Ken Jennings is the man for this role. Obviously, us, the viewing audience developed our own viewer relationship with Alex. He was in my opinion, great as Jeopardy host all these years. He will be terribly missed. No one will replace him, just as no one "replaces" the great loss of any individual, famous or otherwise. But Ken Jennings was first, a awesome player of Jeopardy. And for me personally is the obvious person to take the Hosting position now, if that's what he would like to do.
As for the other guest hosts, I am not interested in even watching them. And I have reasons for feeling that way. I won't voice them now, as it wouldn't honor Alex's memory. I vote for Ken Jennings all the way!
9 1
-
B
Super job Ken!! He’ll even mellow more once he knows the job is his!! I love the idea of a person, who only became famous because of Jeopardy, getting the job of hosting this very famous and popular show. A kind of Cinderella story that appeals to watchers!! I also most heartily concur with the people that note Cooper and Couric and other already well known people will muddle us up from their previous T V personae!!!
Ken is intelligent ,personable and has lovely piercing blue eyes!!!

Ken is the only name we ONLY associate with Jeopardy,ci think they should keep him and let his skills grow. He's doing well do far - very respectful!!

So far so good. He started awkward at first but given time I think he excelled. Waiting for the others hosts to make a determination...but my intuition says Ken Jennings hopefully will be the selection.

He's done a great job and gets better every week. Represents Jeopardy! well and Alex would be very proud of him. Don't blemish this wonderful evening of "family fun and interesting facts" with Cooper or Katie. We won't watch it.

Ken Jennings has done an excellent job, I definitely believe he would be number one. I will not watch if Katie Courier or Anderson Cooper is chosen. Thank you for going on with the show!

Normally not a fan, I was very, very impressed with Ken. Ken was Very respectful of Alex.
He did Alex proud.🙏😢
As far as Anderson, Catie, and the Doc., we will NOT watch at all. To many negative remarks & political.....

I think he has done an incredible job, and his bow to Alex each night is self humbling. Let’s face it , not an easy pair of shoes to fill, and he had done it with grace. I applaud his demeanor and kindness in handling an impossible situation. No, he’s not Alex, and of course it’s different, but he has handled the job and the critics of his performance with his head held high as he honors the great one who came before him.

O
Ken Jennings is seriously good at hosting Jeopardy! I look forward to watching and enjoy Jennings hosting immensely.
I will not be watching when Katie Couric and Savannah Guthrie host; they both are polarizing and insulting.

Who the actual heck is Savannah Guthrie? Katie Couric - disrespectful. Aaron Rodgers - a football guy? Really? Mayim Bialick - can we take her seriously? Anderson Cooper - nice guy, but too serious. I'm not going to be wasting my time with any of these people Let me know when you choose Ken permanently. If you don't. I'll sadly be done with Keppardy.

Just tonight I thought Ken was doing a good job. He's perfect because everyone knows him from Jeopardy, and he doesn't have any other real TV baggage behind him . He gets my vote.

O
I think is doing a wonderful job. Not easy stepping into this role. He seems relaxed. He should stay.

O
I think he’s a wonderful host. He’s grown into the job very well. If Anderson Cooper goes on I won’t be watching Jeopardy. Same for Katie Couric she’s too political.

P
Ken has done an excellent job despite having very big shoes to fill given the loss of Alex Trebek.
Ken is intelligent, witty, respectful & well-respected. There is no need for overrated & overcompensated guest hosts like Dr. Oz, Couric, Cooper - you have already found your Jeopardy host and he is Ken Jennings. Go Ken!

I feel the same way about Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper as RedElephant. I've watched the show for years and I love Jeopardy, but I don't know if I could watch it if either one of these two were hosting it. Ken Jennings has done a wonderful job hosting and has gotten more relaxed after doing so many shows. I believe Alex would have wanted Ken to replace him. Of course no one can take Alex's place.
7 1
-
P
Ken is the only one to replace Alex, he was very close to him, he has the intelligence as Alex did. Ken started out slow, but to be expected he is missing his friend. But he began to settle in was very good. Will not watch
When Guthrie, cooper, couric, had enough of their political bashing, I no longer watch a thing they are on.

Normally, I would want to see the "entire picture" (reviewing each guest host before making a choice). However, in my opinion, forget the others and keep Ken. He's doing a top notch job in every way. I am sure he would make Alex very proud!
6
-
O
Ken is doing a GREAT job! His manner very much emulates that of Alex. He's very sharp with his quick-witted give and take with the contestants. He's a great role model. He's going to be very hard to top.

I didn't think I'd like Ken Jennings as the first but he is doing a great job. He seems comfortable, he's friendly, and reads the questions well. Plus he makes the contestants feel at ease.

G
Ken is awesome. I love that he is genuinely brilliant, one of the best ever to play the game. I am NOT looking forward to the other guest hosts. Jeopardy does not need a famous talking head with the cue cards. Jeopardy demands a host with a love of knowledge and love of jeopardy. We don't hosts who got the job because of their agent or fame from other pursuits.
6 1
-
O
I have watched Jeopardy for many years, and while no one can replace Alex Trebek, Ken Jennings is doing an awesome job. He was a little awkward the first few shows, but has settled into the role nicely. He is personable, friendly, & of course intelligent. I hope they pick him as the permanent host.
5
-
O
Alex never considered himself the star of the show. It was always the contestants and the game. I see that in Ken. For the first few minutes of the first show, I didn't know if he was going to make it! He covered his nervousness well, but a little bit showed through. That's understandable, stepping into Alex's shoes would make anyone nervous. But by the end of the first round, the nerves were quiet. He hit his stride and hasn't looked back. I cannot see anyone else hosting the show.
BTW, thank you, Johnny. You've done a great job all these years. And thank you, Alex.
5
-
G
Totally agree with most of the posts here and thanks for enabling this forum. Ken has Jeopardy in his DNA--he's a natural. He's credible and he matured in the role as host. I also agree with Fjp's comment that we should leave politics out of Jeopardy. I don't need to see it on Jeopardy. Finally, I believe that Ken would have been Alex' pick. If they select one of the other substitute hosts, count me out!!
5
-
G
I was pleasantly surprised when Ken Jennings hosted the show. Is so intelligent and it was obvious that he has watched the show a good portion of his life. Alex Trebek will never be forgotten and Ken Jennings will never let that happen. He does not try to steal the true essence of the show. He doesn't miss a Beat while interacting with the guess contestants. Truth be told I actually tune in just to watch him also. I think selecting a celebrity guest host would be a very bad idea. I think the attention would be drawn to them too much. The show would lose its main focus. Huge congratulations to Ken Jennings for doing it awesome job!
6 1
-
P
Some of the upcoming guest hosts are way too political. And they probably couldn’t pronounce some of the words. Jeopardy is not a political platform and some of the potential hosts couldn’t help themselves. Been a fan for many years. Anderson cooper, Katie Couric or Samantha Guthrie would be the end of the show.
5
-
C
Jennings is growing into becoming an Alex Jr. As his mentor, ALEX TREBEK, has become a dominant part of Jennings’s personality and style - in loving tribute. I’m a fan!
5
-
G
After being retired for 6 years and watching every episode of Alex and Jeopardy nobody can replace him but Ken who was understandably nervous the 1st few episodes is improving and settling in. I thought having a woman host would lead to less comparisons but after watching the last few weeks I'd go with Ken!
5
-
O
I was worried but Ken has done an outstanding job. We have settled in nicely with him. Wish he would continue. Not really looking forward to other guests. It's uncomfortable even thinking about changing again. Come back and stay Ken. You're perfect for the job.
5
-
G
I believe he is doing a great job.. Being asked to step in after Alex was nothing short of a honorable tuff job. Jitters, smiles, accuracy, not something everyone could do. As his time is moving along, Ken seems more relaxed and fitting into the job great. Remember Alex had 38 years of practice time. Ken is the best host.
5
-
G
I absolutely agree with Ruth I had some misgivings about 10 possibly being a little stiff academic but he has turned out to be equally Charming as Alex and the perfect substitute. If they continue the three ring circus of trying out all the other people who are patently unqualified they will wreck the show
5
-
P
Good fit with Jennings who is gracious humorous and his diction has improved over his short time on air in this role. I love the connection to Alex T. which he brings to the show. I will NOT watch Anderson Cooper, who I find repelling.
6 1
-
O
I think Ken Jennings has done a great job as a follow-up to the irreplaceable Alex trebek. My fear is now they are going to make it a three-ring circus by changing guest hosts and making the transition all that much more hard to get used to. We made it over the tough part they should probably stick with what's working!
5
-
G
I think Ken is the best choice. He has a great sense of humor and knows how to interact well with the contestants.
I will not watch Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper.
5

G
I feel Ken Jennings has stepped into a tough role following Erix Trebek . I do however believe Ken Jennings has done a great job and should remain as host of Jeopardy.
5
-
G
Nobody knows this show like Jennings. He knows it inside and out. As a contestant and as Jeopardy staff. He is also a student of the show unlike any other. He is respectful of the show and is very personable. Sure, there will be some growing pains, but how does one follow the great Alex Trebek? He should be the permanent host of the show. GO KEN GO!
6 1
-
G
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host, Period!
He proved, as a contestant, that he's not just a fluffed up mannequin reading answers off of a cue card. He knows his stuff. None of the proposed guest hosts can claim that distinction, and I don't respect any of them smiling and joking with contestants, who probably are a lot smarter than they are, while they condescendingly tell them they're wrong, or correct their pronunciation (most likely while reading phonetically spelled answers).
I'm no genius, but I do enjoy learning new things from people who actually have that knowledge, rather than having it fed to them in an earpiece.
Ken is THE right man for the job!
5
-
G
Ken is doing a wonderful job hosting the program, and is definitely adjusting to his role, becoming more relaxed as he gains more experience. He’s a natural in this role, and although nobody will totally replace Alex, I feel Ken is the best to succeed him.
5
-
R
Considering the big shoes he's had to fill, our family thinks Ken is doing a great job. It takes time for anyone hosting for the first time to find their rhythm and own style. But his initial manner and light humor have been refreshing. I am NOT in favor of the future guest hosts that have been announced, especially the persons who have become controversial regarding airing their political views. It's added baggage that's just a distraction. All the announced candidates already have jobs they are associated with. The producers should offer Ken a contract and then reevaluate. By swapping hosts, they risk losing viewers over the disruptions of multiple personalities.
6 1
-
C
I like Ken Jennings as host because when I watch, I feel like there's a very good possibility that he actually knows the answers to many of these questions on his own and isn't just reading them.
It's kind of like preferring to hear Simone Biles cover gymnastics competitions rather than your basic journalist. Even if they said the exact same thing, the GOAT has instant--and more--credibility.
6 1
-
G
Jennings did a great job. My personal advice is to leave all current or former news anchors off of the podium. Let’s leave Jeapardy apolitical. I don’t want to know what political persuasion the host of Jeapardy is. Just want to watch and play along with them. Thanks!
5
-
O
I feel Alex would have certainly picked Ken to continue Jeopardy. Ken continues the dignity and intelligence so long a part of the show.
5
-
P
Ken is okay, but he has a bit of a high pitched scratchy voice that can be grating...I don’t like the idea of anyone hosting who is significantly intertwined with politics, so Couric, Cooper, and the like, would be AWFUL!

G
I will be most disappointed if Ken Jennings is not chosen as Alex’s replacement. Alex is and will for ever be missed. Ken is a natural to succeed Alex and I’m sure Alex would approve!

Ken Jennings will grow into he role. Just like Alex did. He’s a veteran of the show. Best choice

Ken is doing a great job and what I also like, is that he is connected to the show and Alex by being the GOAT.

I think he is doing a great job. I won’t watch if Katie cur Dick is host, period. Keep Ken!!

G
I think Ken is doing a fabulous job and yet he's never had any training, plus he gets better everyday! Don't ruin Alex's legacy with Cooper or Katie or any other "always-touting-liberal-views!" Jeopardy has always been a conservative and family oriented show just like Alex himself! I think Ken is doing an amazing job and is getting more and more relaxed and confident with the enormous shoes he had to fill!
5 1

O
I think Ken is doing a good job and getting better each week. I'm fine with giving a few others a chance, but I could do without a couple of the upcoming temporary hosts.

A Jeopardy watcher for years, definitely miss Alex but I think Ken is doing a terrific job !! His background with the show makes him a perfect replacement host.
4
-
G
I agree with Ken having it permanently, we also have to remember that he needs to get his own personality with the show and he will, he just needs time. He also needs to be himself, after all he is not Alex and I am sure Alex would agree! It takes time to be comfortable in any new job!
4
-
C
Ken Jennings understands the show and has made an excellent impression. His realization that the show is the star not him has helped him keep the proper perspective. It is hard to imagine that these other folks who have not been closely associated with the show will do as well. I have been watching the show for a long long time and recommend Ken be made the permanent host.
4
-
C
Ken has done an excellent job as host and has earned the spot as permanent, should he want it. He has a history with the show and with Alex. He won me over the first time he signed off with “...and thank you Alex.” I believe Ken being neutral...not a “star”...is a real plus. Please don’t turn Jeopardy into just another game show. Let it stay unique; and with Ken, it will be.
5 1

G
Ken is the right new host for Jeopardy. He has done an awesome job and is the best choice. Some of the upcoming guest hosts would be terrible choices!
5 1
-
O
I love Ken Jennings as the Jeopardy host and hope he decides to take it on. I don't think any of the other guest hosts are as qualified. Ken knows what it is like to be on the other side of the podium and can best relate to the contestants. While no one will ever completely equal Alex Ken is the best choice in my eyes.
4

B
Ken Jennings did great. He has been on the show enough that he is smooth and can quickly transition and keep the game going. He is intelligent so can have an intelligent conversation with the players. He loves the game. Keep him permanently.
5 1
-
G
Ken was better then expected. Alex's shoes are big to fill and it will not be exactly the same. If political people or news people (especially Katie) host the show I will tune out. Alex never let his political opinions or feelings show and that is how it should be. Also a comedian would not be a good fit.
4
-
G
I think Ken Jennings has done a wonderful job. We all know that he has huge shoes to fill and considering he has never been a host before has stepped up quite well.
4
-
O
I think Ken has done a great job. Of course he is nervous but with time that will all change. Personally I do not believe you need any more guest host as you have found the person for the position. Ken is doing this with Alex's blessings and you can not do any better than that.
5 1
-
C
I think Ken Jennings has done a great job. He should continue as the host. Too many others host and personalities will bring the show down. I know for myself I will stop watching. It will take away from the show. I think Alec is happy with the Ken. My vote is for Ken Jennings.
5 1

Ken is Great. He keeps the show moving and very polite with the Guests. I would be Very Disappointed if Ken is not Picked for the Host Position.

My husband and I agree that Ken Jennings is perfect in this role and does Alex proud. We agree, also, that no one who has been politically verbose should even guest host.

Ken has done excellent hosting the show, I think he should be permanent. Against Katie and Anderson because of political statements, this show has always been such a family friendly respectful show, let's keep it that way

O
Ken Jennings has done a tremendous and seemless job filling in after Alex. He young, smart and totally into increasing his knowledge in a wide variety of subjects. He has a good sense of humor and engages well with the contestants. I actually think he makes them feel more relaxed than Alex did! Contestants know his Jeopardy track record is unparalleled, yet Ken is appropriately humble about his achievement. Given his deep knowledge of "trivia" and his vast experience as a contestant, I can't imagine finding a better host going forward. My question is -- will he want to be the regular host?
5 1

C
I think Ken Jennings did a very respectful performance on Jeopardy. We all miss Alex but we must move on, sadly. I think Ken did a great job in tribute to his late friend.
4
-
B
I think Ken Jennings fits in perfectly. He is the best choice for the show. There is little change from Alex to Ken and I think the viewers appreciate this most of all. Alex was such an icon to Jeopardy and I for one appreciate Ken Jennings for reconizing how the viewers loved him.
I will not watch the show if Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper host....they are not at all worthy to follow Alex Trebek.
As far as my family and I are concerned we vote for KEN JENNINGS as Alex Trebek's replacement!!!
God Bless Alex's family! We will always love Alex and his family!!
5 1
-
B
He is doing a great job. He has the advantage of not only know how the show works, but how Alex wanted the show to be presented, and moreover he has the knowledge of topics that allows him to interact with the contestants in a way that cannot be scripted.
4
-
G
Ken has done a great job. Not looking forward to any other guest host. It's a waste of time for the viewers because we already made our decision. Definitely Ken is #1 in my opinion. I saved Alex's last show and start my week watching it before Monday's show.
4
-
G
My family thinks he is doing a great job. I believe he is getting better as he gets more comfortable.
4
-
C
At first I thought he was a little awkward but who wouldn’t be. He knew the whole world was watching and judging. As the month went by however he relaxed. He gives Alex and the show the respect it deserves. Who needs someone popular for this role like the other possibilities? They’ll but a little “acting” spin on it. Ken is genuine. I hope they keep him.
4
-
G
Ken is very good. I like him. Please let Ken take over as the host of Jeopardy. I give Ken two thumbs up.
4
-
G
Ken is superb. Given that he is very new to this role, we are amazed at his performance. A natural...warm, funny, encouraging, with quit wit. I agree that producers should stay away from guest hosts who are outspoken politically whether conservative or liberal. Ken should stay on as permanent Jeopardy host. Alex would be proud.
5 1
-
C
Ken is an excellent host. He loves the the game. Ken is getting better every show. He is injecting his own style into the the program. He studied Alex Trebek's hosting techniques and is keeping the game comfortable for the fans.
I am concerned that having a list of guest hosts is not fair to the contestants. It seems to me that it takes time for the guest hosts to become efficient in their hosting duties. If they are only hosting for a short time, the contestants are being cheated out of having a host that is as laser focused as Ken Jennings.
I was going to quit watching the program following the passing of Mr. Trebek. I watched Ken and he picked up the baton and is keeping the show in the race.
Thank you Ken. I rooting for you to get the permanent hosting job.
4
-
G
I think he's doing a great job! Yes, he was awkward at first, but I think that was a mixture of nerves and even sadness of Alex not being there. He's respectful of the position and Jeopardy as a whole. If we can't have Alex, who better than someone who knows and loves this educational program--and Alex's legacy as well?
As for guest hosts listed to come, I will not watch several of them. Don't mess up Jeopardy! Stick with a well-seasoned host, not a "celebrity."
5 1
-
C
Ken should absolutely become the permanent host. He is an embodiment of Jeopardy, moving through the material with Alex-like authority and intellectual command but with a clear empathy for the contestants and a light easy touch with both them and the camera. I have no interest in watching athletes or broadcasters or celebrities of various stripes moonlight in this iconic program. It does not deserve dilettantes.
4
-
O
Absolutely agree! Ken has always been associated with the show. When I think Jeopardy, I think our beloved Alex and then Ken. At no point do I associate any of the others with Jeopardy. They've each got a lane. Let them stay in it,!

I have no interest in watching celebrities host the Jeopardy. If not Ken Jennings, who is very good at hosting the program, then Brad Rutter would be my choice.

Ken is the perfect choice for all the right reasons.
Some of the other guest hosts may want the role but their personalities will negatively affect viewership. Too political.

Ken had a tough job to do being the first after Alex and not ever being in a situation to host previously or be in the top spot to carry a program before. He was a shakey for a couple of days, then warmed up to the task and did and is doing a great job.
3
-
B
I think he's doing just fine. I miss Alex after watching the game for years. He was like Bob Barker of the Price is Right, an icon and they both will forever remain in the hearts of those who remember them. But nothing lasts forever including game show hosts and the torch must be passed. I think they should find one person and stick with them. People take time to adjust and all the switching is going to make it harder to adjust.

I enjoy Jeopardy when they have a decent person as host, which Ken is 110%. However if they bring in Anderson Cooper or Katie Couric, my Jeopardy days are finished. Good luck Ken as I do enjoy the show.

O
Ken had done a wonderful job fill in Alex's vacancy. He keeps the show running smoothly and can make quick comments to the contestants. He has the ability to help the contestants stay calm and focused on the game. I wish they would cancel the upcoming guest hosts as they will not add to the fact that Alex is not coming back. Ken is very respectful in that fact.
3

C
I have been a fan if Jeopardy for many years. When I heard of Alex's diagnosis, I was extremely sad knowing the prognosis was so poor.
I'm impressed with Ken Jennings. I think he had big shoes to step into and has been so remarkably well. Hope to see him there permanently.

-
B
Ken's been terrific! I don't think you need any more "Guest hosts" in my humble opinion. He's been a wonderful transition from Alex. We'll never forget Alex, and Ken's "thank you Alex at each shows end is a touching tribute ❣️ Please keep Ken, and don't bother with the rest.
Sincerely,
Easy Jim

I am sincerely hoping that all the stunt hosts are just that - just paving the way for Ken to become the new permanent host. I understand (maybe??) that we have to have these others, although I am baffled by some of the choices, as I doubt they could answer anything past a $200 question. Jeopardy is a smart show and it needs a smart host, not just some "face".

My husband and I have watched Ken guest host Jeopardy for almost 3 weeks, and he has become increasingly comfortable in this role. We feel his intellect, love for the game, and personality are a natural for hosting Jeopardy. He and Alex had a special relationship and respect for each other that we still feel with each show. Hopefully Ken will continue hosting Jeopardy as Alex's replacement.

I say Amen!! Was the perfect transfer from Alex. Yes i think Alex would be proud. And the fact of his history and knowledge of Jeopardy only makes him the better choice. My whole family has already said that if Ken goes, we go. Anyone else they have in line for being the host just makes no sense, there's no connection there to Jeopardy. I think Ken fits in Naturally. Don't know why people comment on his nervousness as they have to take into consideration that he has lost Alex,a dear friend and mentor, I'd be nervous my first time too, heck I'd be a mess.
Thank you Alex!

as far as I'm concerned, he gets the job!! No need to interview anyone else. Quite frankly, the guest host lineup isn't that impressive and I won't be watching.

No one comes into a situation like this and everyone says "He's wonderful." There won't be another Alex. But it took him time to become "Alex". When he took over I was upset as I was used to Art Fleming. I think Ken is doing an excellent job and will grow into the role as time goes on.

No doubt in my mind Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. In my mind this is Alex’s pick to succeed him. That is why Trebeck brought him on the production cast prior to his passing.

Ken has done a great job considering the fact that he had to follow Alex. While we all miss Alex very much, we must get behind the host decided upon so that we don't lose one of the best shows on TV. No one will replace Alex but Ken is a close second. I don't care about the other guest hosts you have lined up.

Ken Jennings is be the best suited person for the host of Jeopardy! He was a contestant for many of the shows with Alex, they had a good relationship, and he became a champion. No one else fits into that role better than him!

I think he is doing fantastic. He fits right in.He is great. I don't know if I will watch when the guest hosts are on.Especially Couric and Cooper.They don't fit in.

Ken epitomizes Jeopardy. I became a full-time viewer during his championship run, and can't imagine anyone who could better replace Alex Trebek.

P
I lost all respect for Mr. Jennings when he chose to tweet immature, inappropriate and insensitive comments toward Barron Trump, an innocent child, because of his disrespect and hatred for Donald Trump. Mr. Jennings character is not an attribute to the legacy of Jeopardy and Alex Trebek.

O
Ken Jennings is at ease and knowledgeable and will grow into the job. I will not watch Jeopardy if Anderson Cooper is selected.

G
I really enjoy Ken Jennings. I truly miss Alex but think Ken has done a terrific job making the transition so successful. I hope Ken becomes the permanent host. He has heart and a special connection with Alex.

I was very happy to hear that Ken had been chosen as the first guest host. Watched him as a contestant and his personality is perfect for Jeopardy.
Not happy with the upcoming guest hosts.
PLEASE make Ken the new permanent host

G
Ken Jennings is doing a very good job of being a host. Please don't start switching hosts throughout the year. We miss Alex but he would be proud of the job Ken is doing.

I think Ken Jennings is great and should be the permanent host. He sounds like he is maintaining Alex's delivery.

Keep Ken! He is a great host, really knows the game. Not looking forward to watching any of the others. And some I won't watch. Would like to see James be host, the other big winner.

Ken is doing an excellent job hosting in this difficult spot to fill. I have been a Jeopardy fan for years and he honors Alex in an extremely respectful manner. I will NOT watch your guest hosts. A few of them are very, very poor choices on my opinion.
3 1

O
I think Ken is doing a great job. He’s very humble and always thanks Alex. I was really surprised at the great job he’s doing.
3 1
-
P
Ken has done an excellent job despite having very big shoes to fill given the loss of Alex Trebek.
Ken is intelligent, witty, respectful & well-respected. There is no need for overrated & overcompensated guest hosts like Dr. Oz, Couric, Cooper - you have already found your Jeopardy host and he is Ken Jennings. Go Ken!
2
-
P
Ken is doing a great job as host. He's recognizable to all fans of the show. He shows his intellect, but doesn't do it to overwhelm anyone. Treats players well and has an upbeat positive manner. I hope he is the choice for permanent host, assuming he wants to be.
3 1

C
I think he is doing a great job. I also don’t think Katie or Anderson would be good in the position.

G
I think Ken started out with some awkwardness but he’s improving every day. I wouldn’t consider anyone else. Team Ken all the way!

P
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job and will continue to improve. 👍👍
2
-
P
Ken gets better with each show! He is so respectful to Alex and his memory. Please no political hosts like Cooper, Guthrie or Couric. They don't have the best interest of the show in their hearts. They only care about their own agenda.
2
-
C
I/We think he has done a terrific job! No need to mess around with the other guest host.
2

He is doing a wonderful job. I think Alex would have picked him as host of Jeopardy !

Ken Jennings is doing an awesome job! Of course no one can truly replace Alex, Ken is the logical choice and I don’t see a need for others.

I think Jennings is.the.person for the.job.
I think Alex would be proud of Jennings.

It took him a bit to get into the rhythm. I think he nailed it. Good job.. Those shoes were hard to fill.

Awesome Job Ken!!!!

I used to really enjoy Ken Jennings on Jeopardy, Master Minds, and The Chase. Then I read some of his Tweets. He is so political, arrogant, and derogatory toward anyone who doesn’t think like he does. I am so disappointed in him. I really hope he doesn’t get the full time hosting job. I just can’t enjoy Jeopardy like I used to for wondering what rude, condescending thing he’s thinking when contestants miss a question. He seemed like such a nice guy...
2
-
O
Love Ken as the host. As he said there will never be another Alex but Ken is doing a fantastic job. He has so much respect for Alex and the show and you can see that. He interacts with the contestants, welcomes them and really does understand how they are feeling. I sure hope Ken will be the permanent host. Haven’t missed a show yet but will not watch if and when Katie Couric is guest host. Let’s not ever insult Alex.

Totally agree. Totally

I am one of those Republicans Curic said needs to be reprogrammed. As soon as she comes on I’m done with Jeopardy. Have been watching for 3 decades but I won’t watch when they put that her in.

B
Ken is the man for the job ,period
1
-
C
Please, please, please do not make Ken Jennings the permanent host. His voice is grating and he has an ego a mile long. Mike Richards is a much better choice -more interactive with the contestants and seems actually interested in what they have to say rather than Ken who seems not into them. Ken tries to copy Alex’s wording and mannerisms and it all seems fake!
1
-
B
Mike Richards is killing it. He should be the next host
1
-
P
I agree this belongs to Ken and no one else so please don't start having this one that one the other one guest house Jeopardy they will never ever give Jeopardy the honor that they deserve but KenWill and has
2 1
-
O
Absolutly Mike Richards he is a natural
1
-
C
I believe that Ken Jennings lacks the personality to be the host of Jeopardy. He does not seem relaxed and it shows. He does not seem to have any real emotions, just doing what he has to do in front of the camera. Let's keep going with more guest hosts.
1
-
C
Isn’t Ken Jennings the “man” who mocked 10 year old Baron Trump?
1
-
O
Love Mike Richards as host.
1
-
C
I thought he did a great job. It is tough to replace a led
1
-
C
Did I say NO because I meant to say NO. I won't watch Jeopardy anymore--if Ken Jennings is flubbing the hosting job.
1
-
C
NO to Ken Jennings--too stiff, stunted, frozen, momotone
1
-
O
NO PERSON CAN EVER REPLACE ALEX TREBEC, AS WE ALL KNOW. WE ARE 3RD GENERATION REGULAR, EVERY DAY, FANS. WHEN KEN JENNINGS APPEARED THE FIRST NIGHT, WE TRIED TO REMAIN OPEN-MINDED. BY THE END OF THE WEEK, WE WERE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR FAVORITE SHOW. HE SEEMS OUT OF HIS ZONE; TAKING PAUSES WHEN AN ANSWER IS CORRECT, NOT IN SYNC WITH THE CONTESTANTS, JUST BORING. WORST OF ALL HE REMINDS US SO MUCH OF A PUPPET WHEN WE WERE KIDS NAMED "HOWDY DOODY". CHECK OUT JOHN MICHAEL HIGGINS FROM "AMERICA SAYS"; HE'S A NATURAL!!!!
1
-
O
Didn’t love him. Not a great voice. After one night, like Mike Richards better.
1
-
R
I think ken Jennings is only ok. I find his enunciation is a little difficult to understand.
1
-
G
Am I the only one here who thinks the guy is creepy? I guess so.
1
-
R
I don’t think he’s creepy; just not a nice person.
1
-
-
P
I’m ready for the next guest host. Not crazy about Ken
2 1
-
G
Jennings has spewed his contempt for anyone not of the liberal persuasion, and his consumate hatred for Trump supporters. Why watch someone that hates half of his viewers?
2 1
-
R
Well said!
1
-
-
C
I agree with Ken Jennings is an excellent fit. I think Alex Trebek really would agree Ken should continue as permanent host. Alex made it known he respected Ken.
1
-
R
How could the producers pick anybody other than Ken? I just don't see how they could after such a stand up job!
1
-
R
We love him. If he wants it, he should get the job. We would continue to watch.
1
-
O
I believe Ken has proven himself to be a great host. He has all the qualities important to the show and I think Alex would agree. No need to keep looking! Ken is fantastic!
1
-
R
Please keep Ken. He is smart, articulate and an overall great fit for the role.
1
-
C
Been watching since Art Fleming days. When they started with Alex Trebek we didn’t like him at all - he won us over, but it took time. We have to give the new host a chance, it takes time and the game’s the thing.
1
-
C
I think Ken is doing a great job on Jeopardy! I know Alex Terbex got along every well with him!
I hope he stays on the job !!
1
-
R
Ken is so good. He knows what he's doing from being a contestant. I feel he would be an excellent replacement to take over the realm from Alex Travel. It's hard to replace Alex, but I feel Ken Jennings is a really good fit for Jeopardy. It's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
1
-
P
Great job!
Hire him!
1
-
O
Ken has done an amazing job. He is very respectful of the contestants and Alex's legacy. He appreciates the contestants stories and if they banter with him he has a good laugh at himself also.
1
-
G
Smooth calming voice easy to listen to as Ken articulates very well ; his accents appropriate, genuine support when speaking to and relating sincerely to each of the Jeopardy panel guests Ken is very respectful in every way and Alex knew Ken would be the BEST choice for his replacement . - No one can surpass Ken Jennings . 🙏Make Ken the new permanent host 🙏.

G
Ken Jennings gets my vote
1

O
I am a big fan of Jeopardy and miss Alex Trebek, but Ken Jennings has been a wonderful guest host. I would love to see him continue being the permanent host of Jeopardy.
1
-
B
He is a perfect fit for jeopardy....its definitely his calling...xoxoxo
1
-
G
I don't think he did that well, and I want to see other guest host I think a couple of them will do a much better job
1
-
G
KEEP KEN JENNINGS. He does a terrific job and better than most others that have mentioned.
1
-
O
I think Alex would be proud! Ken is doing an awesome job! I hope he stays.
1
-
G
He's doing a great job so far. My only complaint would be is that sometimes he talks a little too fast.
1
-
P
I think he's doing great, a little nervous at first, but who wouldn't be, 1st time host. He has loosened up a lot, not Alex, but only 1 Alex, and a few more months, Ken will be perfect. I like him a lot, keep him. He will be perfect, give him a little bit of time to get used to being a tv personality.
1
-
P
Absolutely will stop watching if he becomes permanent...not a fan of the jennings promo your. There have been many great players in the *entire* history. Pick a host without a current connection. That's how the first two came about.
1
-
C
Ken has done a terrific job hosting Jeopardy. Alex would be proud of him.
1
-
B
I feel like he is finding his own groove, thumbs up!
1
-
C
Ken is doing a great job! He's a keeper. He has improved every episode as he fits into the role.
1

C
Love him, he's almost a Mini Alex. Very intelligent and relaxed. Perfect for the job.
1
-
O
Jennings all the way exvellent host for jeopardy
1
-
B
We all knew that Alex Trebek's shoes would be tough to fill, but Ken Jennings doesn't even come within a country mile! He's awkward, boring and unattractive.
1
-
O
He was great. I didn't think I'd like it as well after Alex but Ken became more comfortable as host after first couple of days. He gets an A+ ! He set the bar real high for other hosts!
1
-
P
I thought that Ken did a good job-
1
-
P
Ken Jennings, of course was likely terrified in the beginning. However he has continued to improve and has become a great host !
He has done Alex Trebec’s faith in him proud. Well Done !
1
-
G
I believe Ken Jennings is doing a good job but he might be trying to be too much like Alex Trebek. There is only one Alex Trebek. It will be refreshing to see how others would host.
1
-
O
Great Job Ken! 👍 🤙
1
-
C
I vote for Ken—few people are intelligent enough to do the job!
1
-
P
ken Jennings is great
1
-
C
I think Ken is doing a fabulous job. He delivers the questions flawlessly which means he prepares before each show. His ease w/the players is apparent, he roots for everyone to do their best. Finally, he’s not a celebrity & his obvious love and deep respect for Alex comes through every day! Well done Ken Jennings
1
-
O
I forgot to say that when Ken says, thank you Alex i tear up every time. I really respect Ken for saying that.
1
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a great job. You can't replace Alex Trebek
1
-
C
Please respect the game and do not under any circumstances use a person with political bias like Couric. It will split the viewership.
1
-
G
Don't even bother with Couric. Wa-a-a-a-ay too left wing politically.
1
-
G
Nobody will ever live up to Alex but I think Ken did a great job and will continue to improve if given the chance. It takes a very intelligent person to do a good job on Jeopardy.
1
-
O
I think replacing Alex is somewhat impossible. His touch has been uniquely his own.
Any new candidates are going to be compared to this unique ability.
Jennings must be given some time, he is very capable. It will take much time for us to forget Alex.
Good luck Ken!
1

O
I think Ken Jennings should be the replacement.
1

C
I think Ken Jennings did an excellent job and should be given a permanent position as Host!!

I watch Jeopardy every day I like Ken and think he is the perfect person to host the show, no one is able to replace Alex .
1

Love him! He seems like a natural fit! Great job!
1

O
I think Ken is doing a fantastic job
1

B
Ken should get the job. Been a great host
1
-
P
I am pleasantly surprised with Ken Jennings, I believe he should be given the job of host
1
-
C
Ken Jennings is the wisest choice if they can get him full time...
He interacts well with the contestants and as i watch him, I understand why Alex recommended him. I'm not too hip on celebrities hosting.
1
-
O
I think Ken is doing a great job. Hope he stays. And, no Katie Courik.
1
-
O
Ken Jenning was great the longer he was on the show the better he became, he is a natural, Alex would be proud!
1

R
I think Jennings has done a great job. Can't imagine anyone else doing better and coming closer to Trebek
1

P
Miss Alex tremendously on Jeopardy! I got use to Ken Jennings after 2 weeks and I think he's doing a fantastic job!
1
-
C
I think Ken Jennings is a great fit!
1
-
O
Ken Jennings should positively be the choice for permanent new host for jeopardy!
1

R
He is great I hope he gets it full time
1
-
B
He's a natural and it would be fitting for him to take on the roll permanently. I'm sure Alex would approve!

I like Ken , been watching since Art Fleming , does a good job. Hugh
1

G
Ken is it..He’s great ...better every day
1
-
P
Anita. Very good after a nervous start. Should be full-time
1
-
R
I think Ken is doing fine. Better than I expected. At first getting used to a new a voice instead of Alex's was different. His voice a little higher pitched. But I am used now For me and my wife we look forward to the guest host. Just to see what they can bring to the game. I agree with different opinions that Ken has a leg up because of his special relationship with Alex and knows the ends and outside of the game. But just same, it NEVER be the same.
1
-
O
Ken Jennings' personality is similar to Alex Trebek's, both nice guys. Both did great as hosts.
1
-
P
I am very impressed with Ken Jennings and my husband and I wish he would be selected as the permanent host. I believe Alex would be proud that such a intelligent man stepped into his shoes. I don’t believe he would want some celebrity to take his place. He was very down to earth and I think Ken will get better and better as time goes by.....just like Alex.
1
-
C
I feel it would be very difficult to find someone better suited to pick up where Alex left off than Ken Jennings. He shows to be able to think on his feet and respond to the conversation with the contestants. We enjoy watching him work with the contestants
1
-
O
I will not watch Anderson,Katie,Dr Oz,nor the TV class that want to be Alex,not one
1
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job!! 👍🏼
1

G
I think that Ken Jennings is doing a super job
No need to keep searching
1
-
O
I sure liked his personality, pleas keep him on jeopardy, if he leaves I won't be watching jeopardy anymore
1
-
C
Ken Jennings is just fine. He’s fast and witty. But, small thing, tell him not to hold his hands in that triangle. Otherwise he is doing very well. Also, I read that he may not want the job of permanent host so that may be why others are lined up to host.
1
-
R
Ken Jennings is the best permanent host for Jeopardy. He is a natural and is Apolitical.
1
-
B
Keep Ken Jennings.
1

G
I think he is a keeper.
1
-
B
Keep Ken!!!
1

B
Hes doing great ! At first his voice wasn't appealing strong like Alex but now accustomed & enjoying him . Look no further hes your man !
1
-
G
Ken seems to be earning the job as permanent host, if he wants it. I agree with the comments citing his connection to Trebek as unique and genuine. I also admire his mastery of the show's cadence, which is only likely to improve the longer he does it.
2 1
-
R
I think Ken is great, he should get the job permanently. He's doing a wonderful job.
1

C
I think his doing a excellent job bringing in Anderson, dr oz etc well drop the shows ratings
1

R
Ken Jennings is getting better with each game! I say keep him!
1
-
G
Definitely a go for Ken Jennings....I won't be watching at all when Katy Curac and Anderson Cooper host....they are too political aserbic.
1
-
P
I think Ken has done a great job in hosting Jeopardy! He is interested in the contestants and has a quick wit and good responses to the contestants. I also appreciate his thanking Alex Trebek at the end of each show. That is very respectful. Keep up the good job, Ken!!
1
-
C
I believe Ken Jennings is a great host on Jeopardy. Looking forward to see the other guest hosts. Great job Ken.
1

O
He’s great!
1

O
I think he's a natural and is honoring Alex. Can't imagine anyone better.
1
-
G
No need to look any further. Seemless transition.
1
-
O
We all miss seeing Alex running the show, but for me, seeing Ken at the helm still provided a connection with Alex. Having said that, I think Ken is doing a great job.
2 1
-
R
Ken is doing a great job! Please keep the controversial political personalities off this show. We don't watch the show to be deprogammed by the Katie Courics of the media...
1
-
O
He deserves to be the host. Very friendly and engaged. Unfortunately the upcoming others carry much politics with them and will seriously take away from the neutrality that jeopardy is famous for. Keep Ken, he is just what the show requires.
1
-
R
I've watched Jeopardy for 35 years or more. I didn't like Ken Jennings as a contestant at all. Wasn't excited about him as a host but I have been pleasantly surprised! I dreaded him hosting but he's doing a good job....so far!
1
-
O
He is doing good
1
-
R
Every night I watch Ken hosting Jeopardy and every night I pray he becomes the permanent host. We all know no one can be Alex Trebek but Jennings exudes that same honesty and love for the game as Alex did. It takes years to be a great host. I hope Ken is given the time to achieve that.
1
-
P
I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think he’d do well at all, but he’s been great. I’ll be sad to see him go. He’s a natural fit, and it’s sort of nice to know he knows most of the answers anyway! I’m rooting for him to be the permanent host!
2 1
-
C
I’ve watched the show for over 30 years and of course, miss Alex! With that said, I think Ken has moved into this role seamlessly and naturally and I feel was the “heir apparent” to permanently be the new host! Deep down, even though he didn’t say it, I believe it’s what Alex wanted! I love Ken’s sweet nod to Alex at the end of each show!
1
-
P
Like he said no one can replace the legendary Alex Trebeck but Jennings is doing an admirable job in just a few weeks in the interim!
1
-
C
I love Jeopardy and Ken Jennings. It is obvious that is loves the show as well as the loyal views. He displays a love and loyalty for Alex. He was awkward at first but improving with every show. Also, he is not a confrontational person. Keep Ken!
1
-
C
Pleasantly surprised by Ken. He's doing a great job. And I seem to recall that Alex thought a lot of him too!
1
-
G
My family and I miss Alex but Ken Jennings has done a marvelous job as the first guest host - the majority of upcoming hosts are flashy TV personalities and I’ll take Ken over ALL of them any day !!!!!! Thank you Ken for keeping true to Alex !!!!!!
1
-
O
I think you should keep him, he’s getting really relaxed , and stop with the other guests, especially Katie Couric will stop watching can’t stand her!!!!!
1
-
O
He’s excelllent
1

P
I think Jennings is doing a wonderful job . who are the other jokers i have not heard off
1

G
I think he's done a great job and no other guest hosts are needed.
1

B
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Ken Jennings host the show. I feel he is already part and parcel of it and he's been doing an excellent job of asking the questions and the pleasantries. The show fits him like a glove. Go Ken!

G
Don't think there should be anyone but ken Jennings,He doings a great job
1
-
O
I think Jenningd is doing a great job seemed a bit nervous at first but has an animated character in him and hes lively keep him
1
-
B
Ken is doing a fantastic job. Of course would be a little awkward at first anyone would filling such giant shoes. Yes Jen should be the new permanent replacement. And make it his own in time.
1
-
C
I really like the job Ken Jennings is doing. He makes a great host!!
1
-
B
I’m 100 % in favor of Ken to be the permanent host — doing a fantastic job
1
-
O
I think he's great! He is quick, funny and humble. Please keep Ken!
1
-
G
Ken is great as a host, He has really settled in and his personality is starting to shine. Hoping he gets the permanent job.
1
-
R
The first couple of nights he seemed a little nervous, but over time he has hit his stride and is a perfect host to follow in the footsteps of the beloved Alex.
1
-
C
I definitely feel that Ken should be the permanent host! He’s been a part of Jeopardy for so long as a player that he knows what it takes to make the show so enjoyable, more so than someone who’s never been on Jeopardy. I was not sure I was going to like him at first, but now I can’t imagine anyone else filling Alex’s shoes.
1
-
B
Jennings is getting better by the week. Keep him, keep him!
1
-
P
Ken is perfect for the position, don’t even bring on the others!
1
-
G
Ken is doing a great job as Jeopardy host. Ken is intelligent keeps show moving along and understands being a constant. I have watched the show for years but do think I can watch with others as host. I vote you keep him and not confuse us with the others.
1
-
B
Ken is doing a great job as Jeopardy guest host. He keeps the show running smoothly and professionally. I love how he thanks Alex as he signs off each day. I sincerely hope he will be chosen as permanent host. He is genuine and very likable.
1
-
B
I think when other guest hosts are there, I will miss Ken. He has done an excellent job and still gets more comfortable with it. He is the most familiar with Alex's style which helped the transition significantly. He was a long-running contestant and then recently hired as a producer. He said he spoke with Alex about hosting which had to help, too. I am curious to see how the other guest hosts do but Ken gets my vote. He deserves it. He had the toughest assignment to directly follow Alex and he came through with flying colors. I think the show has the best chance of surviving with him. He provided as seamless of a transition that could be hoped for. Of course, maybe a future guest host will knock my socks off...
2 1

G
Keep Jennings. The others have too much political baggage and history. Keep it upright and for all Ken did great and improves each program
1
-
B
HE IS DOING GOOD JOB
1

O
I think Ken Jennings has done a fabulous job as host of Jeopardy. He is a bit awkward but with time he would transition to a great host. He’s very intelligent and has a quick, dry sense of humor.
1

G
I vote 100% Ken
1
-
G
We were not going to watch Jeopardy after Alex passed but we are hooked again with Ken Jennings as host. Alex would be proud. Ken nailed it. He is so humble and I love that he thanks Alex after every show.
1
-
O
I think he has done an exceptional job. He waa a little nervous the first show, but became totally comfortable after that. Alex would be proud to see how well he has handled the show and the contestants. He is a keeper.
Won't watch when Katie Couric is Guest host. She wants to reprogram many of us who are loyal Jeopardy watchers. Alex never made unkind political statements.
1
-
C
He's very smug and I hope they pick someone else
1
-
O
I don't like Ken Jennings. He didn't win the title GOAT it was given to him by James Hosehaur, the card player contestant who could've won if he wanted to. Now Jennings thi ks that he is above everyone else.....but he's not. I don't think he is a good fit for Jeopardy and I will stop watching if he becomes permanent.
2 1
-
P
I think he is too full of him self. Was not smooth like Alex. Need someone more down to earth.
1
-
G
Pick Couric or Anderson you may lose 75% of your viewers
1
-
P
I think Ken is a great fit. I was a little hesitant in the beginning (he had some big shoes to fill), however, he has proved to be an excellent host. I am hoping he will be the choice in the end.
1

C
Ken K. has come into his own thus far, alittle nervous at first but as each week passes he's getting it & doing a fine job.
1

Ken Jennings is great. I love Jeopardy but will not watch it whe some of your other guests are on.

Ken is the best. Won't be watching curic, or the rest.

Ken is great, won't watch if journalists do it. Keep politics out of it!

I think Ken made an outstanding guest host. His mannerisms made the show run smoothly and hand gestures emulated Alex. He would be an excellent replacement. In addition, his rapport with the contestants is outstanding.
I recommend him as a permanent host!

Ken is doing great . We watch jeopardy every night. We won’t be watching when the liberals host. Get a clue Jeopardy. How about tucker carlson or Hannity hosting? Yea sure!!

My husband and I are faithful watchers of the show, and we love how Jennings has fitted in to Alex's role so well. He's honored the timing, rhythms, and the integrity of the show. And I think with his connection with Alex and the show, he's a far better choice than some actor or star. That extra glamour is not needed for us nerdy watchers to enjoy the show. It's about the questions so please don't distract us from that.

Ken is great as guest host. He makes the show about the contestants and the clues/answers. I think Jeopardy is making a huge mistake rotating guest hosts when they have someone who is closely connected to the show doing such an impressive job.

Ken is doing a great job. He recognizes that he is not replacing Alex. He is putting his own spin on hosting and yet remaining respectful of the show. Alex himself changed over the years. While I understand having different temporary hosts, I feel Ken should be offered the permanent position.

Ken has done a wonderful job please keep kim Alex would be very proud

Big thumbs up for Ken Jennings as the permanent host. I was initially skeptical as to whether he would ease into the position but he has done a fantastic job. I feel that he’s very much like Alex Trebek, making the contestants feel comfortable and being so very knowledgeable. On a side note, I will not watch Katie Couric or Savannah Guthrie. They are absolutely not a good fit for such a prestigious and classy show.

Except for voice, Jennings is ok. Don't change him. Other prospects arep unknown to me.

B
Ken was a little awkward at first, but anyone being the first guest host would've been; Alex left some big shoes to fill. Honestly, I think Jeopardy has found it's new host and should tell everyone else, thanks but we've found our replacement.
Just a side note, regarding the political leanings of some of the other contenders, Alex hosted a debate in PA between two political rivals, and it wasn't really a debate because Alex kept giving his opinion. Just because they are political on their talk shows does not mean that they will be on Jeopardy.
1

Ken has done a great job. Sure do miss Alex tho.

Hands down...Ken Jennings is perfect for the position.

He's doing a great job. No point in looking further. Ken knows this game better than anyone. That's why he's the GOAT.

Ken Jennings would be my choice. Please stay away from journalists. They are totally different from Alex Trabeck.
1

G
Ken is doing a wonderful job. He has a pleasant personality, and he's kind and humble. He's very intelligent and a quick study. I think Ken has really grown in the role since taking over. I hope he becomes the permanent Jeopardy host.
1
-
B
I think he is doing great. Speaks clearly and pronunciation is on target. He’s witty and has a very good response technique. It’s nice to see a person who is not a celebrity performing this role in Alex’s place. I think Alex would agree. I don’t think anyone else would do better.

Ken Jennings is doing a fabulous job. Yes, my husband and I are big Jeopardy fans and loved Alex, but we both enjoy watching Ken. He is great with the contestants and with hosting the show. Let's keep Ken!
1
-
O
Ken is doing fine job but not the perfect fit. Alex suggested a sports announcer but I don't see his name on list. I am dead set against Katie and Anderson. They were both so vocal against Pres Trump, therefore they have no place taking Alex's place. He was so much honorable than these. If they are used, I and so many of my friends, will not watch Jeopardy.

C
I think that Ken is doing a great job. He knows the show so well. He did seem a little awkward at first, but has smoothed out nicely. He has my vote for permanent host.
1

R
Ken is doing an excellent job. He's very respectful of his role, banters with contestants in a pleasant manner. He greets Johnny Gilbert in a pleasant manner and all in all is a very good host. He had a relationship with Alex Trebek and respects his memory.
1
-
O
I had serious doubts about Ken. Aside from initial awkwardness, he's doing great. I have no faith that any of the others could do better. Ken knows Jeopardy, he's played Jeopardy (a LOT) and more importantly, he knew and loved Alex.

B
He will just get better and better. There is nothing about him that offends people. I say let him stay and u will stay. I say no to Katie couric Aaron Rogers and a big fat no to anderson Cooper

He is doing a great job. He's keen, witted, and inserts antidotes in appropriate times without limelighting.

I love Ken he really respects Alex and it just seems logical for him to be host. Good luck Ken
1
-
G
I think Ken is doing an amazing job. I love that he knew Alex and had a good relationship with him...he really makes a good predecessor. The things that he said about Alex the first week were very moving and I appreciated that so much. I also appreciate how he thanks Alex at the end of each show. He has made an extreme heartbreak a bit easier to bear. He has such respect for Alex and the mantle he has taken on. He is also highly intelligent and very experienced being a guest and that makes his contributions exceedingly valuable. I think he is the best man for the job. He has exceeded our family's expectations! (We weren't sure we could even continue watching Jeopardy without Alex.)
1

I believe that you mean successor, predecessor means coming before. The whole reason for this discussion is that we all know it will be extremely difficult to find a successor to Alex.

I have watched Jeopardy for many years and miss Alex. The show will be different without Alex. Ken Jennings is OK but did have some problems. Alex always said the the contestants are the most important part of the show. He was always polite and respectable to all the contestants.
The show that aired on February 4th Ken started out telling the contestants to bet higher because he wanted to give away more money, Alex would have never said something like that.
I saw the list of other guest hosts and have a problem with so or of them. They may want change the role of the host to be what they want to be. No one can replace Alex.
I do like the way Ken ends the show , he thanks Alex.
We all miss Alex. 😎😎😎😎😎

I’ve been a fan of the show for years. Ken should be the permanent host. He is smart and witty, and he keeps up with the game without missing a beat. The host needs to understand and keep up with the game, and Ken has proven that as a contestant and as a host. I will not watch the show when the planned celebrity guest hosts are at the helm. Jeopardy is a game for all to watch and enjoy, and the host needs to be well versed in all Jeopardy questions and categories. Let keeps the politics out of Jeopardy.

B
Most of those celebrities are very political and they don't have any qualms about telling the world their point of view. If they leave politics at the door they might be alright. I mean, would you have Pelosi or McConnell hosting the game? Only if you want to kill the show. Politics has no place in the game.

The others are good and like you said"very intelligent", but they have their careers already and Ken has definitely proved himself!!!!!!!

I agree! I wasn't sure about Ken at first, but I feel that he has grown into the role. I also think Alex would be very pleased at the way Ken has presented himself as host. I don't think Ken is trying to fill Alex's shoes, because he knows that no one will be able to do that. Best of luck to Ken, and let's keep Jeopardy going! The show is a pleasure to watch and very entertaining.

Ken has done a great job. The first night he was very emotional, but has gotten more comfortable with time. And his love for the game, and for Alex shows. This long time viewer thinks he would be a wonderful replacement.

Ken Jennings is doing a great job! Following in Alex’s footsteps is clearly not easy. But I think Ken is really fitting in nicely.
My favorite thing? When Ken says “ Thank you, Alex” at the end of the show. Great memorial.
I say, keep him as the host!

G
Jeopardy definitely needs to continue, just the way it's been for years! It's so educational and flows easy and has been loved by all of us for so long! It's hard to have lost Alex Trebek for sure!

Ken Jennings in the winner and he belongs on Jeopardy, as second best to Alex Trebek, IMO.
Continuing with the idea of other guest hosts, simply because it may increase ratings is just so NOT what Jeopardy is about (also i.m.o.). Just the thought of having hosts on (like Oz), to me, is an insult to the fans of Jeopardy.

Ken NAILED IT as Jeopardy! host. Through his long tenure as a player he developed a unique relationship with Alex and the inner workings of the Jeopardy! show that none of the other guest-hosts could ever have. His deep respect for Alex is absolutely genuine and Alex's respect for him was mutual. I see some Alex in Ken as he hosts the show, but I also see a new dynamic of Ken's personality that greatly adds to the flow of the show. He really does Alex proud as Jeopardy! host. Please give Ken this most important job on a permanent basis!

@Ken is very respectful of the role he has assumed,he is quick,appropriate in his banter and interactions and keeps the show moving at a good pace. He and Alex developed a warm , rapport in Ken's long run on the show and it is obvious. His intelligence goes with out question making him very believable as the Jeopardy host. I feel you have chosen the best and most obvious host for the show the first time out. The other choices are already recognizable for other shows and I think that will detract from the guests and the show in general.

Your observation about the other guest hosts (besides Ken) being recognized for their previous roles and maybe reducing their overall impact as Jeopardy! host is a very good point!

Ms Bialick was very good, as well as Aaron Rogers, the Jeopardy producer and a couple of the other guest hosts.

Ken does a good job. Very hard (impossible) to fill Alex’s shoes right away. I will not watch Katie or any other political type host.

The beginning of my conversation was I have
-
B
ve watched all the guest show hosts on Jeopardy, and by far, Ken Jennings is still my favorite. Of course, no one will ever take the place of Alex Trebek, but if Jeopardy continues, I do hope it will be Ken Jennings as host, even though he has the other two game shows he is on.
-
B
Anderson Cooper is my choice for now.
-
G
Ken Jennings was not as comfortable in the role as Mike Richards. Richards is the only guest host to date who really understands the role of Jeopardy Host.
-
G
We Vote for Mike Richards...Very much like Alex! We watch every night!
-
G
Ken has my vote.
Consummate gentleman.

ken jennings earned his spot as the host... he understands the jepordy questions, bidding.. hes the only one i want to see as host. he is the natural choice.

I also like the sound of his voice and has a great personality.

Jennings is not great. Katie Couric and Dr. Oz were both much better.
-
G
Agree with you and others about Couric and Cooper: both seem phony to me. Dr. Oz lost me when he lied about a weight-loss pill - one that he knew was fake as all O-T-C weight loss products are fake. Toss Couric, Cooper, and Oz in the dust bin.
-
G
Amen! Cable "news" seems to be all politics, all the time. Put one of the politicians on as Jeopardy host, and I will be a former Jeopardy viewer.
-
G
Ken Jennings should be the next host for Jeopardy. He is the logical host because he has proven he is excellent at answering the wide variety of questions, thus he gets along well with the contestants. Is he a bit stiff at times? Yes........but Jeopardy viewers know that is to be expected. Jeopardy contestants know this as well.
There can be no better choice than Jennings. He will relax as time passes, and will improve with interaction with contestants.
I'm a three-decade Jeopardy viewer.........and will likely be a former Jeopardy viewer if the choice is other than the best choice: Ken Jennings.
-
R
Don't care for Ken; Didnt even watch for 2 weeks. Mike wasn't bad. Prefer Katie. Dr Oz not bad after one show. Would love to see Mereith Vierra
-
C
Ken has such respect and love for Alex. He is a natural for this position. I want him to be permanent.
-
O
I have watched the show forever and I openly admit when Jennings was on the show I was sort of lukewarm about him but as the guest host he has done a great job. Best so far
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is a great choice. I really enjoy the way he interacts with the contestants, he’s relaxed and comfortable and keeps the game flowing smoothly. I think Alex would approve.
-
R
I coppied this from Wayne and Marty as it was so well put.
Ken gets our vote wholeheartedly! His smooth delivery, wit, friendly banter with the contestants and respect for Alex’s legacy earns him the position of permanent host in our opinion. And just as important, he displays NO political agenda, which we CANNOT say about most of your other guest host candidates. Me and my husband looked forward to watching the show every day but will not watch until Miss Couric is not the guest host.
-
G
As other respondents have commented, I fully agree that it is important for the next host to not wear their politics on their sleeve. Especially when they are so obviously hateful toward half of the country. I could not tolerate supporting those folks by watching them every evening. No matter how much I love the game.
-
G
We were so pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed Ken’s work as Jeopardy guest host! He was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and endearing. We watch nearly every night...and Ken is hands down our favorite.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings did very well. Yes he was understandably a bit awkward at first but found his voice and was very relatable. I hope they offer this position to him. He is a nice change from any celebrity being offered a job that I think is best represented by an intelligent "regular guy," that just happens to be a jeopardy champion extraordinaire and was well liked by Alex Trebeck.
-
O
Yes he is great! So much better then Katie. Almost hard to watch with Katie.
-
G
Love Jennings. He is the best so far. Not fond of Katie
-
R
Ken Jennings is the person who has been on jeopardy the most besides Alex. He seems comfortable and confident. I think he is an excellent fit and Alex would approve. Katie Couric is a nice person, but she has been a very bad host. She seems fake and she is just not a good fit.
-
O
Too bad all the votes are in. Add me. I think Ken is perfect for this.
-
P
I loved Ken Jennings as a Jeopardy host. He’s personable and interacts with the contestants in a genuine manner.
Mike Richards was too plastic as was Katie Curick. They both were just reading the questions and answers. They tried too hard to be liked. The way they read the clues (inflections and tone of voice) got in the way of playing along at home.
You always knew that Alex Trebek and Ken Jennings were so knowledgeable and knew the answers. Both were personable and not just “reading their lines.” I hope Ken Jennings is chosen as Alex’s replacement. He continues to uphold the high standards set by Alex Trebek.
-
O
Ken did a great job he is knowledgeable and became very confident as time went on... he should be the regular host, voice sounded good and was pleasant to the guests
-
G
I’ve never been a fan of Jennings and his hosting didn’t change my mind. He has a history of a bulgar mean mouth.
-
C
He did a great job! He kept things moving along. He gets my vote.

P
He should be the host for good we want someone smart not a pretty boy
-
R
Our family enjoyed Ken very much and he would be a great fit as a jeopardy host
-

I believe Ken is the best choice as the new Jeopardy host he is gracious and, depicts a true well mannered balance that is required to fill a large pair of shoes Alex had style Jennings is cut from the same cloth
There is enough drama and, nonsense floating around on tv It is awesome not to have to rely on such antics
Go Ken Jennings you rock!
-
B
I think Ken did an amazing job. In my house we believe Ken should be Alexs replacement. It just makes sense!!
-

Ken is awesome! He shows so much respect for Alex and also relates to the contestants. His intelligence and his grace show. Brad wrote/said it all during the GOAT tournament, "Ken es el hombre (Ken is the man)."
-

I think Ken Jennings did an excellent job . Being the first after Alex Trebeck I’m sure was hard to do & Ken did a great job.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is best. His intelligence makes him more interesting as a host. His quips are more creative.
-
O
I think Ken was great. However I will not be watching when Couric, Bialik, and Cooper will be on. Getting through this Michael is hard enough
-
G
Ken did a great job!!
-
G
I think Ken's a nice, extremely smart guy, but he just seems too stiff and unnatural...there's no flow. Sorry, but Mike Richards is a true natural!
-
R
No Ken Jennings, please !!!!!! Really like the new host, he is much more likeable and MUCH better looking.
-
G
Please stay away from the "heavy politickers" like Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, etc. That goes for both sides of the aisle...no Sean Hannity either. Please stay neutral and keep the focus and attention on the contestants and game...
-
O
I really like Ken Jennings as a host, in fact they should think about keeping him on as a permanent host.
As for the other choices of guest hosts, l will not be watching if they decide to bring on Caytie Couric, Anderson Cooper, and Savannah Gutherie...they are much too radical, and will create problems for the show.
Viewers will not tune in during their hosting assignments.

I think he did good. I’m sure he was nervous. Can you imagine trying to take over Jeopardy from the memory of Alex. I think he should be the next host permanently. If they pick a female or someone like Anderson Cooper to be a permanent host I will never watch Jeopardy again.
-
G
He’s getting more comfortable all the time, he knows the show, and I think he should be the next permanent host. I don’t think any of the next guests hosts could certainly qualif.

I think Ken found his groove after a few weeks. His voice is not smooth, or commanding as Alex's.

I believe he was a little awkward when he first began but he is very smooth now! I think he’s excellent and he has a great rapport with the contestants. Ken Jennings definitely complements the Jeopardy show!

Ken is doing an outstanding job!!! Since he is the GOAT, I think he should be named permanent host.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings should be the new host... he has settled in quite well and has a wonderful connection with the contestants, being he was one himself... And he is very respectful of Alex
-
G
I think he is doing great. Seemed a bit stiff at first but who wouldn't. I don't think you could pick a better host.
-
P
They need to keep Ken and not put the fans through a circus of other host, Alex would want Ken to fill his shoes.
-
O
Getting more relaxed as days go by. I won’t watch the other two scheduled... They need to put Brook Burns on instead
-
B
I think Jennings did a fine job. Good choice. To the naysayers, do you think Trebek started out as smooth as he became? To the people who just have to wallow in negativity, go away. I’m all for giving Jennings more chances.
-
P
I think he's doing a great job. I hope he becomes the permanent host.....and count me amongst those who get choked up every time he says "thank you Alex."
-
O
His history with and great respect for Alex contribute to his performance. His "and thank you, Alex" closing is genuine.Let's keep him.
-
G
Works out good, not so pretentious as some of the old hacks who have been proposed.
-
C
Ken gets better evert week. Keep him.
-
O
Ken is doing great considering he is filling in for one of the greats in Alex. I will not watch Curic or Cooper
Both are way too political.
-
P
I think Krb Jennings should be the permanent host. He is very articulate and well read. He has the right mannerisms to be the host.
-
P
I didn't think I would ever watch once Alex was gone, but I really like Ken and he is doing a great. Watch Jeopardy every night and will continue to do so. Don't care for the other show he is on. The Chase. Where have I seen Sarah Haines before?
-
O
I like Ken . I think he should be permanent host. He fits in well with the original vibe.
-
G
Ken seemed to be a bit nervous at first, but quickly adapted to the flow of the show. Of all the guest hosts scheduled to be on the show, Ken should be selected to be a permanent host with his vast experience and knowledge and also being an icon with the show.
-
G
I think Ken did an absolutely wonderful job and I very much enjoyed the show
-
R
Absolutely a natural!! Must keep him as permanent host!!
-
O
Yes! Ken is kind, polite, well mannered & loves the game. Of course, he is not as personable as Alex - but there will never be another Alex. I think Ken is an excellent choice as host.
-
R
He’s doing a good job—better than I expected.
-
G
I really like him. I think he is great.
-
O
Really enjoy Ken Jennings! Please keep him as host!
-
C
He’s doing great! Alex would be so happy !!
-
C
Keep Ken! He had a bond with Alex, that no one else had. I think Ken hosting the show is the perfect way to honor Alex, who is missed more than words can express. I'm definitely praying that Ken stays.
-
R
Good job Ken. We enjoyed watching you as a candidate and now as a host.
-
B
Ken jennings has done a superb job. Should be the host for all time
-
G
He's doing a great job. He's witty and a comforting presence. No one can be Alex but he's a terrific replacement.
-
B
Keep Ken, He's doing a great job!! I look forward to watching and appreciate is calm, kind encouraging demeanor. We need lots of that now!!
-
G
Hope he stays...he's a natural!
-
C
I think that Jennings did very well. After all he was the G.O.A.T. champion and he has a 'feel' for the game like no other.
He chats with the contestants during the break and asks the 'answers' clearly.
Sometimes he seems to lead the show a bit too fast. Perhaps he could slow the pace just slightly.
-
G
I vote 100% for Ken Jennings. He shows his compassion for stepping into Alex’s place with grace. Given time those that are skeptical of Ken as a permanent host will see he is definitely the perfect placement.
-
G
The first week we thought Ken talked too fast. But he's settled in nicely. Keep Ken. You can tell he loves the show.
-
R
Ken is doing an awesome job! My husband and I were skeptical at first. Ken has proven us wrong! He is engaging, understands it’s about the contestants. We are not very excited about seeing other guest hosts. I can’t imagine another host being as exceptional as Ken. !
-
P
My husband and I think he's doing a great job!
-
R
I think anyone trying to fill Alex's shoes would be awkward.
-
C
I stopped watching when Alex went to rest.
-
C
Ken seemed a little nervous the first couple of shows but then settled into a good flow. Now he seems like a natural for the job...
-
B
Not good too stiff he just doesn’t have the personality in my opinion
-
O
Given the impossible task of replacing an icon, Ken has succeeded beyond my expectations. I remember when Drew Carey replaced Bob Barker. It took him a few years to hit his stride. Ken is well ahead of the curve!
-
P
Ken Jennings is the ultimate! My opinion - his respect and friendship for Alex - is written all over his face, in his heart and in his mind! He
is as we know, a very brilliant man - and knows the game of jeopardy inside and out! Which he has proved, is a major motivator and example for
every contestants! if you do your homework - you too will be a winner! He certainly has proved that - in more ways than one! With out his experience, his love for Alex and the knowledge of the Jeopardy Game - nowone else can do it better than, Ken Jennings! Bravo Ken! 👏
-
G
My husband and I are both avid Jeopardy fans.
We think Ken did an excellent job.
He also has a vast realm of knowkedge which helps when conversing with the contestants regarding certain categories.
We cannot think that any of the other "guest" hosts would do better.
-
C
I think that the program should be put away for a respectful time at least a few years. No one can replace Alex Tribec. It was his and only his show.
-
P
That is not what AT would want.
-
-
P
Better than Katie what's her name...
-
R
Team Ken!!!
-
C
I think he is doing/did a great job. At 1st he seemed a.littlw nervous, awkward in a roll so hard to fill, but by the 2nd week seemed to be quite comfortable now. And l love love his tribute to Alex Trebek after every show in thanking Alex. It brings a tear to my eye everytime. Good job Ken
-
C
I've enjoyed Ken Jennings as the guest host. He's being himself and not trying to emulate Alex Trebek. I also like the way he thanks Alex at the end of the show.
-
G
Ken fits very well and is a natural.
-
O
Ken is doing a great job. Would like to see him as permanent host.
-
O
He has done well. I would like to see some others tryout. Maybe the bartender winner? I don't think the host should be familiar from a different genre. Big shoes to fill. Kudos to anyone who tries.
-
O
I think Ken is doing a great job stepping into some very hard to fill shoes. The only criticism I have which may sound petty is that I hate at the end of the show Ken thanks Alex. It's starting to sound like he's thanking him for passing on. It's creepy and I wish he would stop.
-
P
Ken Jennings is doing a great job!
-
B
I think he learned at the Masters knee. The game and the contestants are the stars. I was very dubious about him as the host. He placed himself in the line of fire by being the first. My vote is no more guest hosts give him a full time job.
-
O
Alex Trebek’s replacement has some big shoes to fill. Ken Jennings is doing a great job but it will take people time to get used to someone other than Alex Trebek. Let’s not discard him until you give him a chance to grow on people. PLEASE DO NOT LET KATIE COURIC SERVE AS A TEMPORARY HOST. She is way too political and I am one of the 74,000,000 people she felt had to be deprogrammed. Who is she to even make a statement like that.
-
R
Ken Jennings hates Trump supporters as he has made clear in his Tweets.
-
-
B
I like him, he may have been a little nervous stepping into some big shoes, but he commands the Board well, keeps the game moving and personable with the guests. Also, like Alex, highly intelligent.
-
R
At first I thought no way. But I thought about the reasons I was thinking no way. Hurt because we lost a great TV friend and host. I know in life we all get chances to do great things big and small, earn respect to get respect. So I think Ken has done so thus far. Its hard to compete against I oneself make a decision and move on. But yes Ken is a good fit.
-
B
Ken Jennings does not have the personality to be a host. Not impressed.
-
C
I think Ken is a great host and good personality I agree with the other conversations don't need any quest host Ken is doing a excellent job keep him as permanent host I think Alex would want that I've always watched and will continue just don't need these other folks to host
-
G
Keep Ken!
-
R
Ken's voice is shrill.
-
G
I like Ken. I think hes a keeper. I think Alex would pick Ken
-
C
Ken is great, will not be watching after his time on the show
-
P
I think he is doing a great job. He should stay.
-
R
I think he's doing a really good job. A little hesitant at first but coming along famously. Please keep him 👍
-
O
I think Ken Jennings has done an excellent job as guest host. His knowledge and awareness of what the contestants are dealing with makes him the most natural new host. No one will ever "replace" Alex, but Ken carries the torch well.
-
R
I think Ken Jennings did a spectacular job as the Host for Jeopardy!! To be honest they should really consider him the new full time Host. They can let the other guest hosts take their turns then promote Ken to the permanent new host!!!! I'm routing for him anyway!!!! Go Ken Go!!!!!!
-
G
Ken has fit in very well. He has a great personality, works well with contestants, even a little humor. He has been a contestant and can show empathy to make them feel comfortable. Besides his intelligence makes him a credible host. Please keep him as the permanent host.
-
G
No.Not him! I’d rather NOT watch Jeopardy at all than have to look at KJ everyday! ... and I’ve watched Jeopardy since its beginning!

-
G
I thought Ken did a great job and is well suited for the job.
-
B
He is doing a great job. Hope he stays
-
R
I thought KEN did an awesome job
-
C
Ken did an excellent job. He showed an approach that was very similar to Alex. I think it would be next to impossible to find an exact Alex replica, however, Ken is very close.
-
B
No! I think they need to find someone else other then Ken. His voice is too high pitched and nasally. Someone with a better tone and professionalism would be a better choice for the long haul

-
G
Please dont even try the rest esp Couric. Please keep Ken on as permanent. He has had a great transition. I love Alex! I love Ken!
-
G
Did great job
-
C
I have been enjoying seeing Ken host the show and think he is doing a great job. Would love to see him continue as host, as he also is the only named host with a strong connection to Alex Trebek, which will help keep his memory alive.
-
O
The onlybreason i continuevto watch is because of Ken,period
-
G
He doing great. He has good persona about him. He speaks clearly to the contestants. I think he doing great.He will make an excellent Host.
-
G
Ken is doing great. You have to remember he has never been a TV host. He is still learning and doing a great job already. Imagine how well he will do after he is a little more reasoned. I also believe that Alex hand picked Ken. I hope you keep him. He will be a great asset to the show. WE LOVE KEN.
-
R
Ken, great job! Alex would be pleased.
-
O
Keep Ken. He is professional and at ease. He runs the game smoothly and efficiently. I love th he job he is doing!
-
C
I agree keep Ken get rid of the rest of them
-
G
I definitely think that Ken Jennings is excellent as a Host for Jeopardy. He shows confidence and class. I HOPE THAT JEOPARDY MAKES KEN JENNINGS THE PERMANENT HOST OF JEOPARDY. The other Temps I feel would take away what JEOPARDY is to so many!!!
-
C
Ken has my vote to be the permanent host! He has more experience and knows the game better then any of the other suggested guest hosts! I think he should be named the permanent host and we viewers should not have to endure the performances of other “guest” hosts!
-
R
I think he is doing a good job, but no one can ever replace Alex Trebek😢😢
-
G
My husband and I agree that we would like Ken to come back soon as the permanent host!!
-
B
We love Ken.. he has overcome the first show nerves of trying to fill the shoes of Alex and become comfy in his own.. He is thoughtful, encouraging and a very knowledgable. We hope that he a a former contestant he will carry on the wonderful show with the same Grace as Alex. I don't think the others will be able to manage that feat.
-
P
I think Ken is doing a great job,and I do not think anyone else could even come close to the way he handles and knows the ins and outs of the game,he was a little nervous in the beginning but it did not take long for him to overcome those emotions.Keep Ken in my opinion
-
O
My husband and I think Ken Jennings did great!
-
B
Ken Jennings is great! Keep him!!
-
O
Ken Jennings has really grown into the role as guest host of Jeopardy. I would love to see him become the permanent host.
-
G
Once Ken found his footing after a few shows he has been excellent, seeing as the others guest hosts gave probably taped their shows already, I'll just say bring Ken back when the celebrity nonsense is over.
-
C
Absolutely Ken. He is poised, smart, treats the contestants with dignity, and he is humble. If we can't have Alex, then Ken. It makes watching it so much easier, because we think Alex would have wanted Ken.
-
G
I am really enjoying watching Jeopardy with Ken at the helm. He is smart, articlate, has a sense of humor and a ready smile. I'm sure his friendly personna puts the contestants at ease. He is a perfect fit and I don't think we need to look further.
-
B
Great job. Think he should be permanent. Not too thrilled with who is following
-
O
Keep Ken. Don't want to watch a parade of guest hosts just because the producers can't make a decision. Ken knows the show better than any of the scheduled hosts and will grow into the job well.
-
G
I loved him. He did a great job. Hope he's permanent
-
P
I really like Ken. I will.not watch it if he is not host.
-
O
Keep Ken. He is doing a great job. Would just as soon not see the others. Especially Katie Couric who should respect opinions other than her owns.
-
O
Ken is very professional, personable with the guests, encouraging and obviously highly intelligent. I am impressed he always gives Alex the credit.
I'm very disappointed with the remaining guest hosts. Katie Couric? Way too political.
-
C
Ken Jennings is doing a tremendous job filling in for the late Alex Trebek. Although we all miss Alex, he was a great mentor to Ken. I also like it when Ken says at the end of each show, Thank you Alex . I hope he stays on Jeopardy. Besides, it's my favourite show
-
R
I never much cared for Ken as a contestant and I was sure that I would hate him as a host. However, I was pleasantly surprised and actually like him now. He has good rapport with the contestants and is very quick-witted and supportive (dare I say, more than Alex.)
-
O
Ken has done a fantastic job and just keeps getting more like Alex. He and Alex appear to have similar personalities, kind, respectful, brilliant and a leader. Ken is a perfect choice! Couric and Cooper have a political agenda which could end Jeopardy, politics is volatile.
-
P
While understandably a little stiff and awkward at first, he’s adapting quite well and, given time, he’ll work out quite well!
-
R
Ken is settling in well, even though still seems to be trying too hard. Will be good to see others. PLEASE do NOT have Dr. Oz host.
-
G
I really like Ken, he has my vote! He started off a little hesitant but he now seems to be very confident in the role. As the Jeopardy GOAT he is the BEST ONE for the job! Why even let others do it?
-
C
I think Ken had big shoes to fill and it is unfair to compare anyone to another that came before. He does a great job every day. I hope he becomes the final replacement and I believe Alex Trebek would be proud of him. You rock Ken Jennings!!!
-
B
I have been enjoying Ken as guest host. I think Alex had mentored him with a certain amount of intent to aim him to the post. I enjoy his engagement with the contestants and it seems they enjoy him too. Ken seems more and more comfortable making the leap from champion to host. It seems fitting for best contestant ever to ascend...Go Ken!
-
B
I've been watching the show for years and miss Alex terribly. Ken is doing an ok job but I don't think he is the one. It is going to be very hard to fit Alex's shoes but I say keep searching for the right one.
-
G
Ken should be the new host. He treats contestants well and encourages them. He is a great fit for the show and will follow Alex in his own footsteps, not trying to fill Alex's. The show must go on with a host who is respectful, kind, and gracious...aka Ken Jennings.
-
G
Ken was fast day 1 but has quickly become at home. Hes friendly, warm to the contestants and always gives thanks to our alex. Now where you picked mayim bialek as a host, I have no idea.
-
G
Awesome. Ken should get the permanent host position. He has done a wonderful job.
-
P
I think he's done great job. It's a very difficult situation and he's been handling it with grace and humility. There is no one else other than Alex that is more synonymous with Jeopardy than Ken.
-
O
Ken Jennings is doing a great job, no one is as knowledgable as he is,
Hes the GOAT ..for goodness sake, hes humble and encouraging to all the contestants, just like Alex and he acknowledges Alex at the end of every show, a lovely touch and tribute to the ultimate game show host ever
-
C
I was pleasantly surprised at how good Ken Jennings is at hosting after Alex Trebek's passing. Keep him on!
-
O
Ken Jennings should be picked for the permanent host position!!! Well done Ken!!!
-
C
Ken did a fantastic job. He is a very knowledgeable host and I’m sure he knows most of the answers before he sees them. As the weeks past by he became very comfortable. I’m sure Alex would vote him on as the new host. I love jeopardy and have been watching for years. Not sure that the upcoming guest hosts have the knowledge to do as well.
-
B
Ken has been seamless...why mess with success??
-
O
I think Ken is doing a great job! He reflects the image and style that Alex would be proud to see. I think that he should be the permanent host of the show.
-
O
We think Ken is doing a Great job of a very daunting task . He,s a keeper
-
R
I think that Ken is doing a great job! I think it speaks volumes and weighs umore to have a Jeopardy! contestant and champion than to have a movie star / actor/celebrity as the host. It has more weight, value and meaning, I believe!
I've been watching everyday since Alex Trebek was gone and he has been nothing but professional, he is calm, cool and collective and humble.
And speaking to the that he seemed awkward, I think that is only natural considering the circumstances and that will go away eventually. he's not just going up there and doing an "acting job," he loves Jeopardy and has been a part of it for many years and that is priceless!
You can tell that he deems it an honor and does not take it lightly, but respectfully. He's not just a celebrity taking a job or getting paid a lot of money to go up there and "assume the role," so to speak.. it means so much more to him to step in for such a great man and host as the late Alex Trebek! It means so much more not just to him, but to me and I believe to many of the Jeopardy! fans! Thanks for giving Ken the opportunity of a lifetime and us, the pleasure and experience!! 😊
-
C
I think Ken Jennings is doing a very job. Personally, I don’t need to see other guest hosts. I believe Ken should be made the permanent host of Jeopardy.
-
P
Ken Jennings has fit into Jeopardy perfectly. Well known, history, personality.... Hire him.
-
G
A little shaky at first but just fine now. You put Katie Curik on the TV comes off.
-
B
Ken is humble and kind. Two excellent qualities for Jeopardy and for life in general. Great job Ken!
-
B
Ken's transition into the hosting role provides a very welcome continuity for long time fans of the show and Trebek admirers. His interaction with contestants is always respectful and quick-witted. He's a low key and and obviously very intelligent guy and my family hopes Jeopardy decides to offer him the role permanently.
-
B
I think that Ken Jennings has done a good job not great. He tries to hard to sound like Alex. I think a guest host should be NPH Neal Patrick Harris.
-
G
I would like to see Ken Jennings become the new Jeopardy host. He is doing a wonderful job and knows both sides of being a contestant and a host. He was a little shaky at first, but now seems perfectly comfortable being the host.
-
R
Good match; No one could replace Alex.
-
O
Ken is great keep him dont even bother with anyone else!! Hes doing a fantastic job and fits the part very well!
-
B
I think he’s doing a great job!! I didn’t think I would like Jeopardy as much without Alex but I do!
-
G
He’s doing great!! He deserves to get the gig full time.
-
G
Ken makes a good host. Unassuming and intelligent.
-
O
I think he’s done a great job👏👏👏
-
P
Ken Jennings doing great
-
R
Ken has been great and I would enjoy seeing more of him. He is not awkward at all and seems to enjoy the whole process of hosting!
-
C
We think Ken Jennings is great! And would like to see him made a permanent host for Jeopardy. We also won't watch Katie Couric, Anderson Copper or Savanah Guthrie. TOO TOXIC!
-
R
Very pleased with his performance. I don't think we need anyone else especially those that are news personalities.
-
O
keep Ken , i like his voise and he likes the contestes on the show . 🙂
-
R
As we all know, there will never be another Alex, but Ken did an admirable job.
Even mirroring some of Alex' traits and phrasing ("...answer is...", addressing the contestant s,etc.) which made for an easier transition .
Some say he lacks Alex' stature, but cloning is a bit a ways off.
I can live with it!
Well done Ken.
-
B
I vote for Ken. No Katie or Savannah don't think they will be as good as Ken. I don't like neither one of those so I won't be watching them. Alex worked with Ken
-
O
It took about a week for Ken Jennings to make the transition. He is no Alex Trebek..but those are really big shoes to fill. I believe Ken Jennings is coming into his own, with hosting Jeopardy. He is doing a bang up job. I am getting used to the different voice and.love the way he still says, "Thanks, Alex!"
-
G
Ken Jennings is doing a great job . I think he should stay .
-
P
Love the job he's doing keep him on the show
-
R
Ken is doing a good job. I like his "Thanks Alex" at the end. He's staying true to the spirit of the show.
-
G
Well done he is very good as host
-
O
Ken did an awesome job. I refuse to watch when katie couric is on. She is a political hack and dumped on every republican. Ii also will not watch anderson cooper. Another hack. I will watch every other. But give ken the job and dont waste our tome. Hes a good replacment.
-
G
Alex is very proud of the job you are doing. Keep up the great work.
-
C
I think Ken has been doing a great job much in the style of Alex but with his own brand of humour thrown in. I still enjoy watching Jeopardy every night.
-
O
While I can appreciate how a good many think Mr Jennings fits well I don't agree. He lacks the personality and spontaneity that was Trebeck.
-
O
I like him very much!
He handles smooth and cheerful every time every situations and getting bettered
I think he's the one I chose!!
-
G
Excelent job. He has a natural talent.
-
P
He is doing a great job. A natural
-
B
Please keep Ken Jennings, we don't need a movie star or news anchor doing the show. He is intelligent and knows the show from being one of the few big winners.
-
G
He has taken over very well. I think he is a keeper.
Another possibility that would be excellent is John Michael Higgins of America Says.
-
P
I think he was great. Has had lots of experience as participant of Jeopardy. After all Alex wasn’t that great his first month or so. Ken needs more time to arrive in this comfort zone. A month is certainly not enough time to compare him to Alex as far as feeling awkward. Of course he would feel that way with the tremendous respect he has for Alex !!!! HIRE HIM.
-
B
Great job!
-
G
I think he did great !
-
B
Doing a great job.
-
O
Ken is very lacklustre! Boring!!! Keep looking! Just because he played Jeopardy well doesn't mean he should become the host!
-
P
Ken has done amazing job. He obviously loves the show so his passion is close to that of Alex which shows to viewers and contestants. This show requires a lot of knowledge by host and Ken has been a student for a long time. No one can replace Alex, but we want someone who cares about the show as much as Alex and he has shown that he can manage time as well as help contestants feel at ease.
-
O
NOBODY will ever take the place of our beloved Alex. I knew Ken would do a great job, but I've been pleasantly surprised at how easily he filled the void in my mind. What a gracious, kind man to step into the spot!
-
O
I feel he's getting better, but is missing the voice strength and presence of a game show host.
-
O
Ken is doing a great job! Keep in in the roll!
-
R
I thoroughly enjoyed him and think he should be made permanent.
-
G
Got better as he went along, but there’s something about his voice that I find annoying. I realize he can’t help that, and overall he’s done well.
-
C
I think he did a great job. He seemed to be more at ease as the days went by. His first appearance showed that he was very nervous but no worse than Alex’s first appearance. I would love to see him get the job.
-
O
In the beginning stiff and unnatural. As his time went bye he relaxed and became more at ease. Will make a good host in the future.
-
G
I think he is doing a fantastic job. I really don’t want to go through the other guest hosts. He knows no one can replace Alex ✌🏼❤️🇨🇦
-
G
Ken is fitting in excellently and respectfully. Good humor and naturally very smart. Give him the job.
-
B
Love him love his tribute. Even if it didn’t originate with him you can tell the true sincerity and depth of respect a d feelings he had with Alex Trebek
-
R
I read all the nice comments about Ken, and yes I agree he make a great host of jeapardy. And leave the politics out.
-
G
I think Ken is the right man for the job. Please put him on permanently!!
-
R
I feel he done great, he was nervous at first, but I see him settling into the show. It took a little to get use to his voice. But it's coming in more normal. I think he fits in fine as a permanent host
-
G
I believe you have found your host, there is no reason to look elsewhere with the other hosts. It will be a waste of time.
I believe many who watch faithfully will stop
I know I won't. I believe Alex knew who would be the best host that is why Ken Jennings was the 1st host..
God Bless you.
-
R
I love Ken. Great job of filling those ginormous shoes left at the podium. Please don't bring in a "star" to host permanently. It will take away from the intellect of the game and make it more "commercialized". No Katie or Anderson or Ryan Seacrest.
-
O
I love Ken Jennings hosting. He was a little nervous at first but he is very sincere and a nice person. Job very well done. Would love to see him permanent. Not looking forward to guest host, probably will not watch
-
O
Love Jennings. Great job.
-
P
We think he is doing a great job!! Big shoes to fill!!
-
P
I think Mr. Ken Jennings seemed to be a little out of place and nervous at first but now his 2nd week in he's starting to feel more at home. But I would still like to see other candidates have a chance to show what they have to offer . After all they are trying to fill a great mans shoes. And may the best man or woman win.
-
G
Ken should get the gig permanently. He's solid, focused and just loves the game. A tribute to Alex in itself. Alex would be pleased with his work to date.
-
R
He's really good but would LOVE to see neil deGrasse Tyson get a chance to host.
-
R
Ken Jennings is the logical choice. He’s done a great job. Everyone I know loves him and wants him as the permanent host. I love the show but don’t know if I’ll watch it with some of the other guest hosts. It makes more sense to let Ken do it than to pull in some celebrity.
-
O
He is doing a great job! I don’t want any boring news people with political agendas. I simply won’t watch the show when they’re on. Give me Ken and I’ll be a fan for life!
-
O
As to be expected, Ken Jennings was a little nervous the first week. As time went by you could tell he was getting more comfortable. I really enjoyed how he interacted with the contests. I think he would be a great addition to the Jeoparody family. We love you Alex.
-
P
Ken Jennings is not Alex and i can't get used to him. Lets try someone else.
-
B
He’s gotten more comfortable as the days went on. Frankly, I thought he’s a good fit!!
-
C
I think Ken is doing a wonderful job. Katie goes in and I go out. Sorr!! Love the show and Ken is as sweet and good as Alex. I miss alex, but Ken is an excellent replacement.

Ken Jennings is doing a super job considering he is following the great (and beloved) Alex Trebek. I'm sure he was a little nervous at first but he seems to be more comfortable with the position. Of course, no one will ever be Alex Trebek. I vote to keep Ken permanently.
-
O
Ken has done a fabulous job and definitely should get the permanent job. He always thanks Alex and knows he could never fill his shoes but no one will. We all miss Alex but Ken is great. Please give him the job.
-
O
I do not like him!!! He talks much too fast which makes it hard to understand.
-
G
One can not compare him to Trebek. They have different personalities. Ken is still showing some nervousness. Give him 6 months and then judge him. For a beginner he is doing great
-
B
I am very much impressed with Ken Jennings as host of Jeopardy. I had my doubts and he has truly earned my respect.
I hope he chooses to stay on permanently, as I'm sure Ken has plenty of opportunities out there.
-
O
I think he does a wonderful job.
-
P
He gets better with each show. He is Jeopardy. Will not watch when Katie is on. Keep Ken. Would love to see Aaron Rodgers or James but quite happy with Ken at the helm.
-
P
Ken is great. Doing a wonderful job!! Keep him!!
-
G
I love the show but I will not watch it for Katie and Anderson, not after commits made
-
O
I thought he did great job. He had BIG shoes to fill. I don't like the next line up of hosts
-
P
Ken is doing a fine job, for an amateur. I would prefer someone who had the appearance, voice training and personality of an accomplished television announcer.
-
C
I think Ken Jennings has done a terrific job and he should be the new host and no more quest hosts. This guy is the winner hands down.
-
G
Keep Ken. Don't look any farther!
-
B
I think Ken Jennings did a fine job. Following the beloved Alex has to be difficult. I for one will not watch when Anderson, Guthrie, Couric and several others appear as guest hosts.
My vote is for Ken Jennings as permanent host.
-
R
Ken is doing a good job so far and will only get better when the pressure is off. Great for not trained in acting performance. Keep up the great work Ken. Posting from Ontario, Canada.
-
C
We think he has done a great job
-
G
I think that Ken Jennings is doing a great job as host of Jeopardy and should be kept on as the permanent host if he so wishes. I live in Oakville Canada and thoroughly enjoy the show.
-
B
Ken Jennings is excellent.I Miss Alex terribly; but Ken is a winner. This is not a position that any woman can fill successfully. And I am a woman. I wish we could bring Alex back. But,unfortunately, we can't. Ken is not Alex but he is comfortable looking in the role..
-
O
He did great. I think Alex would be proud. I know I won't be watching Katie Couric don't need politics in this show and that is all she thinks she knows. I don't need to be told what to do. I need entertainment.
-
G
Kens doing a great job, if he seems awkward at times, who wouldn’t, he has some big shoes to fill.
When the shows with Anderson Copper air, I will have NOT be watching...he is definitely not a good fit for the show!!!
-
O
I believe Ken aced the shows requirements and Perko9 was right on, and hopefully he will continue to do the job of the new host.
-
G
Ken Jennings is a perfect fit to fill in for Mr. Alex Trebek. He did a great job and I love his humility and grateful words. 🙏🏼❤️
-
B
Even tho Ken appeared nervous during his first few days, he has adapted wonderfully!! We all miss Alex but Ken is the perfect replacement. I will reserve judgement on future temporary hosts but I believe Ken has nailed it!!
-
B
We have watched Jeopardy for years and believe Ken's genuine love for the game and respect for Alex will keep viewers engaged. Adding political personalities will not add anything to this wonderful show but will likely discourage viewership. Please keep Ken he is such a great fit.
-
R
As he gets experience he is appearing more relaxed, confident and improving. He just needs a little time to grow into the position
-
G
We will stop watching if Kathie Couric is a host. This is not a political show and she would provide a disservice to the memory of Alex. Ken Jennings is fantastic. Keep him if you can.
-
C
I think Ken Jennings is absolutely the best choice you could ever have made. He is so kind to each contestant. He is smooth and knowledgeable with different languages in the answers given to the contestants.
I am so impressed with him and I know Alex would want him and only him as his replacement to host.
Please keep him and don’t waste my time with any of the guests hosts you have lined up. I have watched this show every night my whole life It seems and I am 71.
Ken Jennings the New Host of Jeopardy is the next headline I want to see.
Thank you for keeping the show as a must see on my list.
Thank you Ken Jennings for such a smooth transaction.
Pamela Hall. 🌻

R
Ken Jennings is too monotonous
-
P
Ken was great ... seamless transition! Make him permanent!!
-
O
He's very good. I wish he could be permanent.
-
C
Ken knows this show backwards and forwards. The other proposed hosts are a ridiculous choice. Two of them will be instantly disliked by half the country. Go with Ken and forget even trying the others or I won't be watching any more.
-
B
I think Ken is doing a good job. It took him a few days to get comfortable but once he did it was good. We all know there will never be another Alex Trebek but Ken is is doing well and I think Alex would be proud.
-
O
I think he's doing great! He's finding his style and gets better every episode. He's definitely a keeper!
-
O
Awesome! Ken's a keeper!
-
G
Since I have seen Ken Jennings on other game shows, I am aware of his friendly personality. He knows the Jeopardy game show ver well and makes a very good host. I hope he gets the job as permanent host of Jeopardy.
-
O
Ken Jennings should be given the spot. I love the show, but watch depending on the host. I will not be watching going forward. Just give him the job!!
-
B
He's doing a great job. He is being s true gentleman and his mannerisms ar similar go Alex Trubeck.
-
C
He is getting a lot better
-
G
I love Ken Jennings on jeopardy.
He does a great job!
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is great as host. To be honest at first I wasn’t so sure as I questioned how respectful he would be to guest. He surprised me and I think what makes it more genuine is that Ken would have probably gotten most of the questions he is asking. Gives credit to his position. He has been a great surprise and should be offered the long term job.
-
B
He is doing great.
-
B
I think Ken’s doing a great job. Keep him!
-
P
He’s doing a fantastic job and should become the permanent host . He allows the contestants to be the stars of the show as did Alex. I believe Alex would be pleased !
-
O
I think the questions (answers) are too lengthy and consequently have Jennings talking very fast to get them all in - it's like watching the show on "fast forward". There is not the comfortable "flow" that Alex had. I think other guest hosts would add an interesting aspect to the show before making any final decisions. I think the political comments have no place here.
-
O
We loved Alex, and now we love Ken. He is a bit awkward but that makes him adorable.
-
B
Ken is doing a terrific job as host! Please keep him as the permanent host of Jeopardy. He's intelligent, courteous, well spoken and his love for the game comes shining through.
-
G
I am interested in seeing some other guest host. I have read that perhaps Anderson Cooper or Katie Couric were in the running to guest host and I think it would be worth having a good look at both of those and perhaps others that you may have in mind.
-
C
I did not think I would take to anyone who could fill Alex’s shoes but Ken Jennings has done a phenomenal job. If Ken would except the position I for one would be very excited and happy.
-
G
Ken is doing a great job. Will not watch when Katie Couric is hosting. The show needs consistency. Not some new personality every few weeks.
-
R
I have always liked Ken Jennings, though I miss Alex terribly. I think there is probably a learning curve and it takes time to learn a new job. I think he is doing ok, sometimes though I think he sounds a little arrogant. Alex was so kind with the contestants. I am looking forward to seeing the other guest hosts for comparison. I am especially looking forward to Mayim Chaya Bialik from the Big Bang Theory and Call Me Cat.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings would be an excellent choice to replace Alex.
-
G
Jennings is doing fine. It took Alex about three decades to ting where h
-
C
I think he should have the show permanently, He's doing a great job. Love Ken Jennings.
-
O
I think Ken did a fantastic job. Look at the shoes he is trying to fill when you think of his rating. Another Alex is unlikely to appear. I think Ken may be as close as we get.
-
B
Ken has such great respect of Alex and has the right amount of humility. He knows the game! He is perfect for this job.
-
G
I like Ken Jennings. He is doing a good job.
-
G
I think Ken is doing a great job Alex would be proud
-
R
He is doing fantastic job. They should give him permanent position!
-
B
Katie Couric and Anderson cooper..NOThanks , i won"t be watching them. Neither are a fit. Jennings should be permanent, Alex would agree. We miss you Alex
-
O
I would like to see some others and then I’d have something to compare. Alex is a hard act to follow.
-
G
Perfect game host. Alex would be so proud. As much as we all miss Alex Trebeck, it would be a mistake to not name Ken as a permanent match. No other applicants need to apply.
-
G
Ken has done a fabulous job! Viewers want someone really intelligent like Alex. We don't need a Hollywood type celebrity as host. Ken Jennings is a perfect fit for the show.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job & should be seriously considered as a permanent host of Jeopardy
-
B
I agree I think Jen Jennings has done a wonderful job of hosting Jeopardy
-
C
I enjoy jeopardy. The game is interesting and due to Alex Trabeck it has remained exciting and clearly above board. He will always be missed but Ken Jennings is a fine replacement host. He exudes the same honesty as did Alex. Nervous at first but he hit his stride and has grown into the position admirably. Doubt Alex could have chosen a better person to fill his shoes.
-
C
I think he is doing a great job. However, he speaks too fast and therefore lacks warmth.
-
G
Ken has done a great job.
I am not looking forward to some of the other guest hosts. Katie Couric?
Oh, come on.
Don't ruin a good game.
-
B
Ken Jennings has done a very good job considering the huge footsteps he has had to follow.
I have watched Jeopardy since the beginning but doubt that I will watch when Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper will take over.
They are bad choices.
-
O
Ken Jennings is perfect for the job. Look no further, especially with the lineup I saw. Alex would be pleased to see Ken take over.
-
R
I think Jennings has been doing a wonderful job. We all miss Alex.
-
C
I didn't think it was possible, but Ken was so good that I forgot about Alex. Please keep Ken.
-
B
Ken does a fine job. He's not as relaxed as Alex - but he doesn't have years and years hosting. After the parade of guest hosts is over, I think Ken should get the job!
-
P
Love Ken Jennings, please keep him, he’s the best, 👌
-
B
I think Ken is doing a great job.
-
O
Keep Ken, he is the best!
-
G
Ken has done a fantastic job!! He's quick, smart and in charge! No question, he should be the replacement.
Most, if not all the others are political and will make it known, to those who stick around!! I shall not be one of them.
-
C
Ken Jennings is doing an awesome job.
-
P
He IS doing a great job !!! If you have katy Couric, I will not watch !!!!
-
R
I Think They need someone with game show
Experience not someone who won a tonne of money his voice doesn't sound like a hosting gig I won't be watching anymore if he gets it permanently
-
R
I liked him a lot and thought he did a great job
-
R
I think Ken is doing a great job. The show flows well, I don't think there have been any awkward moments, he relates well with the contestants. I honestly feel he is the only one who can do the job. I am totally pulling for him.
-
B
Please keep Ken Jennings permanently. His way of handling the host position is excellent. His way of honoring and continuing to Honor Alex is keeping us mindful of how Alex built the show into what it has become. Alex will be forever missed and loved all over the world
-
C
Jennings is doing a super job!!
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a great job! Don't care to see more change. He's the one to follow Alex Trebeck permanently.
-
O
I think hes done a very good job .nobody will replace alex but if you get anybody else i wont watch it .please keep him
-
R
I think Ken is doing a great job and should be made the permanent host. I really enjoy Jeopardy, however I will not be watching when some of the guest hosts you have listed are on air. Don't care for some of them and am upset that they are even going to be on the program. Really hope that they are not even considered as permanent host.
-
C
I think Ken Jennings was great! I'd surely support him as the permanent host.
-
O
doing great. keep Ken as host!
-
O
I think Ken is a keeper. He has gotten appreciably better in a short period.
-
O
I love Jennings. He has finally relaxed and should be made permanent on the show!
-
P
I think he is the guy! He got more comfortable each day. He will be a great host!
-
O
Love, love , love Ken Jennings. He did an amazing job as host. I now tape the show so I don't miss it. I would NEVER have done that before. I was never an Alex Trebeck fan. Too much of a pompous attitude goes a long way! Not sure how he kept the job so long rest his soul!
-
G
As a diejard jeopardy fanI agree he's a great host and a likeable person to boot, but as a ridealong, my husband thinks he talks too fast (we're both in our 60's).
-
B
I think Ken is doing a spectacular job. NO ONE could ever replace Alex. He made Jeopardy what it is today, but the bar was incredibly high and anyone who stepped into that job was facing a lot of impossible expectations. Ken is carving out his own niche and certainly has the intellect to carry Jeopardy into another 36 years if he wanted. Leave Couric & Cooper out!
-
B
He is doing great.
-
R
I wasn’t sure at first but I think he’s a great replacement even though no one can fill Alex’s shoes. Ken comes pretty close❣️
-
O
I think Ken Jennings performed well, but his presence was a bit underwhelming. I think it's his voice. I would like to see someone a little richer voice.
-
C
Doing a great job. Hope he becomes permanent.
-
C
Make him the permanent host
-
G
I think Ken Jennings has done an excellent job! A superb job!!! He should be strongly considered as the next jeopardy host!!!!!!!
-
P
I have totally enjoyed watching him. I think he would make an excellent permanent host!
-
O
Why would you have polical hacks as guest host.
-
G
Ken is superb as a host! His continued expression of it being an honor & his respect for Alex make him the winner.
-
G
I think Ken should get the job! He fits the position perfectly. He is a clone to Alex. He has the same personality .
-
D
Ken was naturally nervous in the beginning, but has improved since then. Even Vanna had trouble stepping into Pat's spot as host, but she ended up doing well, and remember she worked on the show as long as Pat.
I think Ken is a part of Jeopardy history and that he fits well into the spot as host.
-
G
Think Jennings should get the job
He was very good. I think Alex would like him to have the job.
-
O
Jennings surprised me & I think he has done a great job.
-
P
I think he should be permanent
he is a knowledge expert who won tons of money on show will help him a lot. any one else without his knowledge will not be good for the host position. he can only get better . he is a natural
-
G
I like him. I was prepared not to, but I think he did a very good job. I'm dead set against "Dr" Oz though, and I refuse to watch any episodes he hosts. He's a snake oil salesmen, completely lacking in credibility. I'm surprised the producers would choose someone like him. Shameful.
-
G
I think Ken is great. He loves the game the way Alex did. He should be the next host.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings did a fantastic job. We all miss Alex but he would be proud of the job Ken did. If he would take the position permanently I feel he should be given first dibs. I watch the show every night and will continue depending on who is chosen to host. I will suggest one other person and that is Brooke Burns. She is fantastic on the Chase and Master Minds.
-
B
He's doing a great job. His calm way with a little humor is why we all loved Alex. Ken is my choice. The ones upcoming are entertainers Ken is not. He's a host! No political issues here!
-
B
I am definitely not a fan of Jennings. I would like to see Anderson Cooper as host
-
O
I do hope Ken gets the permanent host job. Will not watch while the others are hosting. I am hoping they come back to Ken.
-
C
Do not want to see any other guest HOST...Ken is sincere, funny, smart and has paid his dues...HE is it for me.
-
C
Ken is doing great, he is perfect fit for this role! Do not know if I will watch the others,,,,especially Katie Couric!
-
C
2 thumbs up!
Ken is doing a great job. Alex would be proud!!
-
P
Seems nice enough
Definitely intelligence is his forte
But I have tried & tried to get into the game
His Voice just makes me clicking through the channels.
Now they git the
Walker reboot
Now no more
Walker Texas Ranger
On charge. 17-4
Now that channel is Mystery
Same as 15-3. I am watching less antenna 📺
-
G
I think, from reading the comments, we all agree that there is no need for anymore guest hosts... Ken is rocking this position, and he should continue. Alex would be so proud !
-
P
Ken Kennings is an absolutely perfect choice, for the job, he knows the show inside and out, please give him the job!!!
-
G
BIG Yes for Jennings he has delivered and I love the it.
-
B
I think Ken is doing an excellent job as hosting Jeopardy.
-
P
Alex would be very proud of ken i think so to ! He i s the best if he dose not host ! I will not watch the show no more !ken is perfect!he is a nother Alex! Keep up the great work ken!good luck i hope you win!☺
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is great. Loved Alex but Ken is sharp, a bit humorous. He should be permanent "Host"!
-
C
Would love to see Ken be the permanent host. Not planning to watch Katie Couric host. I don't need to be reprogrammed.
-
P
Love Ken, keep him permanently
-
G
Keep Ken!!!!
-
O
Ken is doing a fantastic job.for sure he should become the permanent jeopardy host
-
P
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. He knows the show. Having these other hosts really is silly. May hurt the show.
-
R
Don’t like his voice. He has done better than I thought but I don’t see him as a permanent host. Alex was so well known & his replacement should be more well rounded.
-
B
Ken is doing a fine job and deserves to be the permanent host now. I think that Alex would agree!
-
R
Did a great job!
-
R
He seems a bit nervous at the beginning, but as time went on, getting better. Wish he would speak a tiny bit slower.
Love the show.
-
O
Keep Ken!
-
O
Ken’s doing a great job. I think Alex would be pleased.
-
C
He is the BEST
-
C
Ken talks too fast, voice too high, and doesn't have the stage presence. Let's see how the others do before we pronounce a host. I'm looking forward to diversity.
-
P
Jennings is great as the host.
-
B
Ken Jennings is a good fit for the job with his looks, appearance & personality....he will only get better as time permits!
Yes, Alex would approve!!
-
G
I think hes just getting his feet wet,learning adjusting just fine.
-
B
Ken Jennings has developed into a great host (Alex is a tough act to follow). I hope he ends up as the permanent replacement. I will not be watching when Katie Couric hosts
-
O
I know Alex, would be happy too know that, Ken is doing a GREAT JOB, hosting the show,He has a wounderful personality, he is good with the Contestants, he doesn't seem to get nervous at all,and that makes them feel relaxed. I" Viola Reeves" think that Ken is doing a GREAT job! God bless you Ken!
-
G
We watch the show most evenings. In my opinion Mr. Jennings should be given the position of permanent host. He demonstrates the same amount of class and knowledge as Mr. Trebeck did but they both also demonstrated a great deal of humility.
Thank you
-
O
We think Ken Jennings is very natural. I honestly couldn’t imagine how he would do but he is fantastic. We will not watch some of those guests. We have been watching Jeopardy since it first started but I will not watch Katie Couric. Ken Jennings should be permanent. Forgot the disruption of all these guest hosts. That will be disruptive to the consistency for the contestants.
-
B
I think he’s doing GREAT. No one will ever fill Alex’s shoes but I can say Katie Couric and Savannah Guthrie shouldn’t even have a chance. I will NOT watch when they host
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is great!! Alex is difficult to ever replace, but if anyone comes close to filling the bill, it would be Ken Jennings the way he is performing.
-
P
He has little personality. Little sense of humour or clever repartee Somewhat stiff. Look at more guest hosts.
-
O
I vote for Ken, loved him as a host🙂
-
B
I’ve watched Jeopardy since I was a young child with my dad. And I loved being quizzed by my dad at home. Ken is ok. I just think you need a certain voice to be a host. And he just doesn’t have it. He’s smart and great to be a contestant but not a host.
-
O
Ken is doing well. I’m not interested in some of the others.
-
G
We think Ken Jenkins is doing an amazing job and would like to see him do the show always!!
-
R
I think Ken Jennings has done an awesome job of hosting. He seems to be quite comfortable in this position.
-
R
Love Ken Jennings! He did an awesome job!! He can’t be as seasoned as Alex, after all he was a contestant just weeks ago!! He is humorous, personable, respectful, and above all handsome on TV!! Besides, he talks faster so they can get more commercials in and make more money! My vote is to keep Ken as permanent host!! Way to go Ken!
-
G
Ken is good but let's get some more people in. I wouldn't pick the first person right away. Give everyone a chance. Ken is a bit straight legged. Maybe someone with a bit Wilderapproach. Someone that will change things around. Someone who will not try to be another Alex Trebek wannabe. There cannot be another Alex.
-
G
Ken did a fantastic job. I hope they offer and he accepts it permanently after they go through all the guest hosts. I guess we will get to see how really great he has been when these others take the helm at making a hard job seem easy!
-
B
Ken Jennings should be the permanent host of Jeopardy. Is has settled in as host quite nicely and is doing a fantastic job. Please give Ken the job. Alex liked him and so do I.
-
B
I like him!! Was prepared not to but once he settled in I really think he is the one for the job. These others lined up are a joke!! Please save us the pain of sitting through them and just leave Ken alone. He is doing great!
-
C
I agree! His first few days were a bit stiff, but he grew more comfortable as time went on and acquitted himself really well by last Friday. He has the knowledge, wit, and ability to relate to the contestants. Please put him at the top of your list... and we will all thank Alex each evening.
-
O
Ken has done a solid job. Talks a little fast but do get more completed boards. He's a keeper
-
O
Ken Jennings has done a terrific job as the host of Jeopardy.
-
R
I think Ken would be perfect as the permanent host. He is doing a fantastic job. Please give it to him.
-
C
I think he's doing a great job. I feel like Alex would have chosen him
-
B
Totally agree with those who think that he should be the host. I was very pleasantly surprised at how he just stepped into really big shoes. Congratulation Keith Jennings..
-
G
My family & I loved Alex Trebek. Alex was interesting. I've been watching Jeopardy as a child since the beginning. Try the other guest hosts. We're not sold on Ken Jennings. You should also try Mira Sorvino.
-
G
I think they need look no further. Ken Jennings is doing an awesome job! He was a little awkward at first but, he had no prior experience going into this. Alex hosted a few other game shows prior to Jeopardy. At the end of Ken's 2nd week he seemed completely comfortable and supurbly interacted with contestants. KEEP KEN!!
-
P
Ken is doing a wonderful job as guest host.
There are some coming up as guest host that I will not watch - Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper to name a couple. Just not interested in them as host!
-
P
I believe Ken should be the permanent host.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is a great host! If it was up to me ... I'd say stop looking and make him the permanent host! He is personable AND has the experience with the game that I doubt any of the others on your list have
-
G
I agree, wholeheartedly, that Ken would make a great permanent host! He is doing a great job & I know Alex would be pleased! Please don't ruin the show with hosts who want to go off with their political, liberal views! You will ruin the show!!
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a good job and should continue to host, he will grow into his element !!
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is great! However, some of the guest hosts you are anticipating will ruin the show! I will not watch Anderson Cooper, Katie Coric, etc!
-
C
He does excel as host of Jeopardy and hope he can continue if that interests him.
-
G
I find him awkward and he talks too fast.
-
G
I watched Jeopardy when Art Fleming was hosting. I feel they should grab Ken now and forget about the other guest hosts. I won't watch them.
-
C
Excellent job! Seems very comfortable, has it flowing not awkward at all. Should be made permanent 👍
-
C
Good Job Ken Jennings
-
C
I have thought previously that Ken nor anyone else could ever do as good a job on Jeopardy as Alex but he's blown my positive thoughts about doing the job out of the park & I think he should carry on with the job if he has an interest in doing it.
-
P
He should be the new host. He's EXTREMELY sharp and I can see his hosting only getting better from here.
-
P
Team Ken all the way!
-
P
He is doing a great job! Keep him on!
-
G
He's doing a GREAT job. Has my vote for being the permanent host!
-
R
Jennings hands down!!! Clean cut, over the jitters, can pronounce French & German correctly, nice rapport with contestants, comes across the screen as kind and VERY LIKABLE. KEEP HIM❤️
-
R
Very smart young man hope he gets the job God bless
-
B
Once he warmed up he did a fine job.l hope he stays.
-
G
He’s great! The winner in my opinion. Why look any further?!
-
O
He’s doing a great job. Alex would be proud. Keep him. We don’t need any other guest hosts. Ken’s your man for the job. Period!
-
B
At first I thought no, but the more I watched him he is doing a good job.
He isn’t as nervous and he jokes an laughs with the contestants. I say keep
Nobody will ever be as good as Alex 💕
-
O
Ken is great. Of course, he is not Alex and he shouldn't be. He should be himself.
I think he can be a very good host or even a great one, given him time. Some have criticized him for reading the clues too fast or stumbling a little. May be the first week, he was a little nervous. I had a chance to watch early episodes of Alex; he was just as fast.
I think he will be the perfect permanent host: 1. He was a contestant before so he knows how they feel. 2. He is very knowledgeable, a GOAT, and 3. He learned from the best. He may not be as personable as Alex - a little nerdy, a little quirky - but given him time, he will develop into one.
I am rooting for him to become the permanent host.
We love you, Alex.

R
👍👍👍👍👍👍

P
Ken Jennings is doing a great job!
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect person to take over. We all know he is a bit nervous but nerves will go away with time.
-
G
Ken is great. What i realized is that we love the game itself and the team that comes up with the categories and questions are the unsung heroes!
-
O
He's done a great job. His was the first name that came to my mind when I heard of Alex's passing. Keep him. Give the show consistency. Ken has the likeable personality to go forward. Ken all the way.
-
C
We think Ken is a wonderful fit as the host of Jeopardy. He is kind but also entertaining. Great job Ken.
-
O
He’s doing a great job. Can’t imagine the other guest hosts can do better. Stick with Jennings.
-
P
Ken is doing an outstanding job. I think he would be good permanently as he loves the game as much as Alex and as most of us fans do!!!
-
G
I think he is doing a great job! He seems more confident each day! Good job Ken!
-
O
Ken did a very good job. Can't believe they still have Couric in the lineup. Guess I will miss a few weeks of my favorite show.
-

Ken is a wonderful host. There is no one that can take Alex's place however Ken in making his own niche very nicely becoming more comfortable with time interacting with contestants and very easy to watch making the show his. I doubt the others mentioned will come close to Ken as host nor would they attract viewers they would be an injustice to Alex's memory.
-
P
Excellent , nice personality , not full of himself like some tv hosts.
-
O
I think Mr. Jennings is doing a wonderful job and you should just keep him.
-
R
My choice has always been Brooke Burns. The real class of game shows. Her way of speaking her appearance everything’s speaks volumes.
-
C
Good fit
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is very smart and does a good job but I would rather see Jeopardy James as the host or Anderson Cooper
-
G
I'm not expressed with Jennings. Really don't care if I see the show like I did before. Just saying
-
R
Cancel the other tryouts; Jennings made the grade.
-
O
Ken Jennings should stay. I agree with so many others as to his suitability. When he says "Thank you, Alex" you know he is sincere. He is getting more comfortable and is the natural choice. Also like others I won't be watching depending on who hosts.
-
R
Ken should be the permanent host. He is great at the job. I new he would be. I will not watch anybody else.

I have loved Jeopardy with Alex Trebek for so many years. I was not looking forward to having Ken Jennings as an interim host. I just didn't think he had what it would take to be a good host and to bring what Alex brought to the show. I was stunned to see how wrong I was and how truly great he is at being Jeopardy's host. He is very respectful of Alex and what Alex brought to the show, along with a true love of the game. Now with having a few shows under his belt, he is not only congenial with the guests, he is now adding more of his personality to the role and it is a real pleasure to watch the show. I believe the producers have found a perfect host for the show in Ken Jennings.
-
O
I have watched Jepardy for along time and will miss Alex Trebek..but I do really like Ken Jennings! He gets better as time goes on..keep him. Katie Couric I have lost all respect for and will not watch her.
-
G
I think Ken is doing a fantastic job. I also think they are making a mockery out of jeopardy by some of the choices for guest host they have selected.
-
O
My whole family thinks Ken Jennings did an amazing job and believes that the search for Alex's replacement go no further. Just make him the regular full time host.
-
O
I think he has done a great job, showing a lot of respect to Alex and the game.
-
O
He has knocked my socks off. He’s poised, genial, he makes it seem effortless. The glove is a perfect fit. I say Keep Him.
-
O
Ken is doing an awesome job as guest host. They should keep him permanently.
-
B
Keep Ken Jennings‼️
-
C
Ken is doing a great job! He is a student of the game, very smart and knowledgeable in all subjects!! He interacts with the contestants very well, and is not at all presumptious or egotistical like some of the announced guest hosts already are coming into this gig! Why would you even consider Couric, Cooper or Guthrie?? Couldn’t watch those snobs!! Keep politics out of Jeopardy! At my house, we love Ken!!! And Alex would approve too!!!
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is doing a fantastic job and I hope he is going to be the permanent host. Not interested in watching with the other guest hosts.
-
R
Ken did an amazing job considering now nervous he must have been. How daunting it must have been to be the very first host after Alex's death. He knew all eyes were on him ready to criticize and judge him and I think he handled it with grace and humanity. Alex would have been very proud of him.
-
R
I agree with all those who would like Ken Jennings to continue on. I will not mind watching some other guest hosts because l believe none of them will compare to Ken. I do not like thinking they each will be on for 6 weeks, though. I think Alex would have been so happy to see how Ken has carried on Alex's pace and classy style of communicating with the contestants. Ken seems like a natural and perfect fit for hosting Jeopardy.
-
O
I met Alex when I was a contestant on Jeopardy--lovely man! And Ken Jennings is a worthy successor--he's doing a great job. I don't think there's a need for anyone else to try.
-
O
I like Ken Jennings. Great job
-
B
Jennings is doing superb, paralleling Alex as closely as anyone could imaging. I look forward to Ken fitting in as the permanent host.
-
R
I know Ken has done a fantastic job. He said there were big shoes to fill...Mr. Jennings you've filled those shoes. Alex is smiling down on you and thanking you for being awesome!
-
P
Ken has been excellent as a replacement for the late great Alex.
-
G
Did anyone suggest Buzzy Cohen as a host of the show?
-
R
Mr. Jennings has followed Alexs' advice by making the contestants the stars of the show! He's doing a fantastic job!
-
O
He was great
-
R
Ken Jennings did better than I thought he would but he doesn't have the personality for the job
-
P
Ken has made a smooth transition seem effortless. He has also added a touch of class with his "Thank You Alex" at the conclusion of each show. He has stepped into Alex's shoes with impeccable grace, style,and humility.EP's you have your host, 86 the other tryouts.It ain't broke..nothing to fix. The other egos are much to strong.The answer is
Ken Jennings! Back in a moment!
-
O
I really like Ken and truly enjoy the way he hosts the show. I have watched Jeopardy for many years and vote for Ken as permanent Host.
-
G
Ken should be the permanent host. He gets the game!
-
R
LeVar Burton. It needs to happen.
-
R
Great job of hosting Ken
-
C
I think he is doing a wonderful job!!
I vote for Ken to Host !!
-
B
Tough shoes to fill. Impossible really. Find a person with enough presence and not too much ego. Good luck.
-
G
I enjoy Ken very much
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is doing an EXCELLENT JOB.
He is charming, good sense of humor, good comments on questions AND answers.
I hope he can stay but doubt that he may need the job.
-
R
No one can replace Alex but Ken is doing a terrific job. After getting over his initial awkwardness he is fitting right in. I hope he becomes the permanent host especially since he is already the GOAT.
-
P
It's rather clear that the vast majority of Jeopardy fans are overwhelmingly happy and comfortable with the transition from our beloved Alex Trebek to Ken Jennings.
Ken has the highest winnings and the longest successive wins in Jeopardy history. So we viewed him, were in awe of him and cheered him on for two and a half months.
Additionally he won the Jeopardy greatest of all times in competition with Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer; no small feat.
He became a consulting producer for Jeopardy and we feel that he's part of us and we are all part of the Jeopardy family.
As far as guest celebrity hosts maybe try dor a day or two at a time temporarily just for variety but not in any way that's permanent or consequential.
If Ken Jennings is willing to take the Baton and continue to host we say please let him lead Jeopardy onward to the future. We will always think of him in connection to Alex and that is the most comforting and reassuring outcome.
-
O
Hire Ken he is smart and witty Alex would say YES
-
G
He seems nice but his voice isn’t right for the job
-
G
I think Ken is very good. i watch him every night Alex would be proud
-
B
Ken is TERRIFIC !!! I haven't seen any other guest host on a show and we watch every night /////
-
G
I think Ken is doing great. I really like how he is happy - smiles lots and happy tone in his voice. I think he
Should host permanently.
-
O
Ken did a great job! His following Alex's style and authority on the stage.
-
P
He is the right person for the job no question
-
C
Ken Jennings is great, he had some BIG shoes to step into & it's a good fit! Thank you Ken! Thank you Alex for ALL the awesome memories!
-
P
Love Ken Jennings. Sometimes I swear I hear Alex when Ken is reading clues. I think we have a winner here. I also hope the fans get a say in the host pick.
-
G
I think Mr. Jennings was a little apprehensive at first & uncomfortable replacing the long time host. As time passed, Ken seemed to relax and began to fit right in. He will do well.
As far as bouncing from guest host to guest host, that might do more harm for Jeopardy's ratings than just naming a replacement & sticking with it.
-
C
Ken Jennings is a winner! I will continue watching if he is the host!
-
G
I truly believe Ken did a great job and want to see him secure the spot. Great job Ken!
-
P
Well done Ken.
-
P
Excellent. He is the natural guy to pick for full-time.
-
G
Yes he did a great job
-
P
I think we should keep Ken. He's doing a great job
-
O
I was a tad concerned the first week....but, hey, taking over from Alex was really tough and I could see how nervous he was. After that first week he really loosened up and I think he's doing a great job.
-
G
I think he's doing a great job. Like any job, you're nervous starting out but I think he's found his groove.
-
P
I think Ken is an excellent, intelligent person for the job as host of JEOPARDY. He handles himself like a professional person and interacts at ease with the contestants and I believe Alex and his family would be very pleased.
None of the others seem fit for the job of hosting this show.
Stop looking you have your host in Ken Jennings. The producer should be pleased with what a great job Ken has done.
-
R
Ken is doing great! He’s a bit nervous and it shows but he’s got a hard job to try and fill Alex shoes. We’ll just have to wait to meet the others. Good luck Ken
-
B
There will never be another Alex. At first, I thought that watching the show would be over for me. There are some things
in life that you feel like you can count on, something that feels comfortable and familiar .. . Watching jeopardy was one of those things in our household each evening. Trying to play along and wondering when the next Ken Jennings was going to appear was fun. When we got the awful news that Alex was battling cancer, the show and the value that it had for us became even more endearing and we prayed for and hoped for his recovery as millions of others did . Alex was like family ...,Now that he’s gone, we are surprisingly getting more and more used to Ken. Through sadness and a little doubt, we gave him a chance. The fact that he’s a familiar face and a part of the fabric of the show helps. And, he’s trying hard. If he’s replaced, we won’t watch Couric or any other media personally, nor will we watch a Hollywood actor. Ken deserves this and Alex is probably smiling down on him.
-
O
Fantastic job! I've been very impressed with Ken Jennings over the past few weeks.
-
P
I totally agree with all the comments about Ken Jennings i liked him as a contestant& a Host as well i do agree Alex would be very pleased with his performance, he's come a long way baby!!* please make him the Host of Jeopardy* he deserves it!!*😀🎇🌟💫✨
-
G
Awesome!!!
-
C
great job Ken, with NO politics!
-
R
At first he was nervous visibly, but as time has gone on he has gotten more and more comfortable in the role. What also helps is the relationship he had developed with Alex over the years and their friendship, and his becoming a producer on the show. I think he would be an excellent choice.
-
O
He was obviously nervous for the first week, who wouldnt be when replacing Alex. Lets be fair. I am strongly in favour of ken being given the job permanently. I dont think having constantly changing hosts is a good viewer experience. I personally dont favour Katie Couric, but would love other choices. Over several months I would not enjoy having a constant rotation of hosts. People by nature are comfortable with consistency which it what alex did so well. You've already found your host in ken, stop looking!! Remember when he had his huge winning streak. Hes the run who brought the ratings up, wasnt he.
-
G
I think Ken is doing great!!! He even continues to get even better. HOWEVER, NO ONE WANTS KATIC COURIC! She would ruin Alex's legacy!
-
C
I think Ken is doing a fantastic job as host, he seems relaxed and the audience surely agrees.
He is a natural at it and I love his tribute at the end to Alex what a heartwarming gesture.
Anyone else would just not do justice.
I do think that at the end of the program where the shows ends,it should read the opposite of what it says.
Always in our hearts
Forever our inspiration
That sounds better, maybe people could comment on that idea.
-
B
We have thoroughly enjoyed watching Ken Jennings. No easy shoes to fill. I know shows have been pre recorded and I hope they put him back in the rotation and keep him.
-
P
Ken did great!! He was a natural. Looked like he'd been doing it for a long time!! He gets my vote. I don't need to see any others...I'll watch them, but I guarantee you, it won't change my mind! Because Ken knew Alex so well and for so long, it was obvious he was in this for Alex in the most respectful way...he mentioned Alex the first show he guest-hosted. I think that was the only time, but you could sense he was in this for Alex! Choose Ken Jennings.
-
B
I think Ken should be the permanent Host. I do not agree on Katie Couric, I would hope she does not appear on the show, if so I will not be watching.
-
B
Keep the good work Ken
-
G
I think Ken is doing an honorable job. He's smart & quick. Alex will be forever missed, but our love of the show is our way to honor him. I think Ken would be a good replacement, without seeing others. I think it should be someone who really WANTS to be the host.
-
O
I think Ken has done a wonderful job!! I would like to see him as a permanent host. I'm not too keen on having a female replacement 🥺. That would be just awful!
-
B
Nobody can fully replace Alex. But Ken Jennings is doing a fantastic job.
-
B
I think that Ken Jennings is not the answer
-
B
Doing a great job. Let’s keep him as a permanent host. Alex would be proud !
-
C
I think Ken has done a great job! He is intelligent and interacts well with the contestants. I also like the fact that his time as a contestant developed into a friendship with Alex. I have been watching Jeopardy since Art Fleming was the host, and I think Ken would be the ideal person to carry the torch forward. I think Alex would agree.
-
C
I think that Ken is doing a very commendable hosting job.
-
P
Well done Ken Jennings took a few days to come in to your own but she did great and I wouldn’t expect anybody else to Take Your Pl., Alex would be proudWell done Ken Jennings took a few days to come in to your own but she did great and I wouldn’t expect anybody else to Take Your Pl., Alex would be proud
-
B
Ken is great! As close to Alex as you can get. He should be permanent!
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is perfect for a replacement host. He's fast and you have too be fast reading the questions because there's not a lot of time and that show moves real fast. He's mild mannered and not a show boater like some of your other picks maybe. Love the show
-
R
Ken is doing a terrific job. Each day he seems to relax and allow more of his personality to shine. Hopefully he'll become the permanent host.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job. As a lifetime Jeopardy watcher, I am concerned that these guest hosts will take the focus off the game. I watch it for the game and the contestants. I realize a good host is necessary to keep the game moving but is not the focus of the game.
-
P
Jennings is a great substitute, but I still think Buzzy Cohen would be excellent.
-
O
I agree with you. I think that they should go ahead and make Ken Jennings the host of Jeopardy!.
-
B
I like Jennings ... the longer he host, the better he will get. And, he’s legitimately smart, he’s not a Hollywood airhead, and he appears to have integrity. Keep him.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job. I like that he feels honoured to be doing this job
-
C
Excellent host. Articulate, smart and has the personality for the position. The other celebrities have good positions. Promote someone else and let him get a good start like Alex did.
-
B
I Have been watching the show with my mom who is now 91 yrs old . We truly believe that KEN JENNINGS IS FANTASTIC GUEST HOST AND PRAY THAT HE BECOMES THE PERMANENT HOST OF JEOPARDY. We know that Alex greatly admired Ken Jennings for his knowledge .He is the perfect person to replace Alex Trebek that we will always remember in our HEARTS. We live in Québec province Canada and watching the show with KEN JENNINGS IS A FAVOURITE SHOW FOR US. We truly hope that KEN JENNINGS WILL BE THE CHOSEN HOST. Regards,
Christine Turgeon
-
P
I think he's GREAT. He is a G.O.A.T. I don't think anyone else can beat him out of the job. GO KEN!!!!!
-
B
I don't care for his political remarks but I can look beyond that and I think he's been doing a great job. I think Alex would be happy if he was chosen as the permanent host.
-
G
👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent Host!
-
C
He is doing a perfect job thums up
-
G
Jennings. Is the right one
Give him time
The people. You have pick too guest. Have no
Good personality They are set in there ways
For there shows there are doing
Keep. Jennings
-
C
I think Ken Jennings should be given the job permanently! 8 don’t even know why we, the public, are go8ng to be forced to endure many more weeks of “guest” hosts! Just go ahead and give Ken Jennings the job already! He’s getting better, smoother, on every episode!
-
C
I'm willing to watch the other guest hosts with an open mind but I can't imagine any of them doing a better job or being more suited to this position than Ken Jennings.He's done a remarkable job.Perfect for this
in my opinion.
-
P
The producers of Jeopardy were faced with an impossible task in naming a suitable replacement for Alex. Their instincts told them Ken Jennings, a well-liked and successful member of the Jeopardy family, would be the most appropriate choice available. They hedged their bet by naming him as a guest host, with a bevy of celebrities waiting on deck in the event Ken struck out. In my opinion Ken hit a walk off home run and it's game over! He should definitely be named the permanent host. No one could ever channel Alex as well as Ken. His pacing, his delivery, his mannerisms all express his love and reverence for Alex and the game of Jeopardy. The producers also hit a home run in choosing the homegrown Ken Jennings initially, but it remains to be seen whether they will tragically lose the game by going with a " celebrity " instead of a proven winner.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is a great host. His personality & mannerisms are very similar to Alex. He is as close to Alex Trebek as they will ever get. I think the job should be his full time!!
-
C
He's done a terrific job. Given more time he'll begin to relax. It's hard to follow an icon. No one will feel Alex shoes.
-
R
Any talking head such as cooper or couric has no place in the show. They are not worthy of standing at
Mr Alex Trebecs potium. Ken Jennings and the other Champions of the show deserve their shot at some fame. They have earned that opportunity. Leave the creepy news people where they are because they will only be there to push their foul personal self.
-
B
Ken Jennings has been a very good transition from Alex Trebek. His relationship with and love and respect for Alex is so apparent. He should be the new permanent host. I have no desire to watch the other guest cohosts. They are just tv personalities with very well known political opinions and that is not what Alex would have wanted nor is it what the show is about.
-
O
Keep Ken
-
O
I really like Ken Jennings. He is doing a terrific job!
-
P
Give Ken the job already! He's earned it!
-
G
Has to be Ken Jennings. He has done a superb job in every way. Jeopardy is a very smooth game with Ken as host. Please don't take the show down a black hole. I mean the likes of Anderson Cooper? Please don't do that to us.
-
G
He is great and talks clear. I love him I think he should get the permanent job.
-
R
Ken Jennings is fantastic and a natural at hosting Jeopardy! I couldn't imagine anyone else in this role. He has the intelligence, a sense of humor and the ability to keep things moving with no awkward moments.
-
C
I believe Ken Jennings is doing an incredible job !!
While Trebek will remain legendary, Ken puts forth a similar easy going, entertaining and entertained, intellectual aura. He has my vote regardless of how the others will do. K
-
P
Viewers need to stop comparing Ken to Alex. Even Alex praised Ken Jennings. On his own merits Ken was a worthy candidate to host this ironic show. Ken Jennings has a very positive vote from me.
Final note: you can find fault in ANYONE if you are not fair in your evaluation.
-
R
I haven’t seen the others do I have nothing to compare but I think Jennings did the best he could since no one will ever replace Alex
-
B
He is doing a great job. Been watching Jeopardy for many years. Ken Jennings has stepped in and picked up right where Alex left off. Alex was my favorite MC ever but Ken just might take the honor now. Don't get me wrong, I was hurt when Alex passed. Had thought maybe that would be the end of Jeopardy, as we knew it. But Ken has proven me wrong
RIP Alex.
-
O
He's doing a great job.
-
G
Jennings did a superb job, he's personable, and loved the way he says goodnight Alex at the end. If you watch him on his other Trivia shows, you can see him without jeopardy tension and how personable and funny he is. 💖
-
O
I think he’s doing a great job. Keep him!!
-
O
I not looking forward to Aaron Rogers.
-
B
Jennings seems to be settling in and doing a good job. The fact that he was a multi-million dollar winner gives him some serious intellectual credit!
-
C
I think Ken Jennings was excellent.
-
C
The conventional wisdom is to never follow a legend. But Ken Jennings is doing a fantastic job. He moves the game along at a faster pace than Alex which means there are fewer unfinished boards. And that’s a good thing.
-
P
Ken is actually BETTER than Alex and I dare say technically more qualified as he ACTUALLY knows the answers and isn't just pretending to like Alex did.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings does Alex proud. He is fantastic as a host and he strikes a good rapport with the contestants. I think he is ready to fill as the host on Jeporady.
-
G
Great job, he's a keeper.
-
B
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job. He had big shoes to fill and he's doing it.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect host. His performance as a contestant makes him a natural. You know he knows his stuff and brings an authenticity to the host role. No need for a celebrity. Ken Jennings is genuine !
-
P
He's doing a great job. He was a little emotional at the beginning (rightly so) but now is doing as well as anyone could possibly do. He holds a reverence for the game that is unmatched. Forget trying out all these other "guest" hosts. Ken gets my vote.
-
R
I think we should give the other hosts an opportunity and then poll all the hosts at one time
-
O
I’m very happy with Ken as host and believe he does the show and Alex justice. He has lost the awkwardness he had when he first began. I’m not impressed with the list of guest hosts at all. I won’t be watching during Oz, Cooper, and Couric. Such a shame.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is THE MAN! He's a family man, which I like. He's been humble, which I like. He's honored Alex Trebek throughout his time as host, "Thank you, Alex." He's also grown throughout his stint as host. Initially I did not like his voice, but I feel that he's worked on it and it's much better now than at the start. So...I'm giving Ken Jennings the thumbs up. I am a fan. Plus...he's so incredibly smart. Make it him!
-
G
I think he does a very good job. He should be given the job.
-
B
I didn't care for his persona as a contestant, however, I'm quite pleased with his job as host showing wit, respect for contestants while following in Alex's creed "it's not about me." I think Alex would give Ken Jennings the 👍. Only suggestion...it's time to drop his closing comment: "thank you Alex." 😊
-
G
I think he does a wonderful job . He first and for most he always pays respect to Alex, The start and the ending. He should be the Host. I enjoy Ken
-
O
I really think Ken did an excellent job he should get the job
-
P
I totally agree ken deserve it Give him time his personality will definitely get ahold lot better. And l know Alex would agree. If anyone knows that game it's ken.
-
O
I feel that he is doing fantastic job. He gets better with each show. Considering he is in a totally new realm and having little experience, he's great. I hope he becomes a permanent host. On the other hand, nobody can replace Alex.
-
B
My husband and I’ve been watching Jeopardy together for years. We think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job. He’s been a part of Jeopardy for years and seems like the perfect fit to us. We think he should get the job.
-
O
I think that Jeopardy is no cakewalk for sure. Its a fast moving half hour where there's little room for error. My opinion is for him not having any showbiz experience he is doing a great job and he'll only get better.
-
B
I like Ken's personality, but I can't get past his weak, raspy voice. The permanent replacement host should have a voice with deep, mellifluous tones--much like our dearly-departed ALEX! 🎶🤗
-
R
I hope he can continue...he's all about the game..and doing an excellent job!!!!
-
O
I think he's doing an awesome job. Jennings is a great replacement. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T add Katie or Samantha,, PLEASE. For I want tio continue watching the show. R.I.P. Alex 💚💚💚
-
B
Great host, I was pleasantly surprised from the first day he took the helmet from Alex.
Congratulations Ken.
-
G
I don't like him. He's too awkward. Get someone else.
-
G
I think he is doing a remarkable job
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job!!! I also think that by trying out all the guest hosts will do some detriment to the show. I think people, including myself will get fed up with all the guest host you plan on having. I believe that you need some stability by just continuing on with Ken Jennings, which is doing a great job and people are liking him.
-
B
. I’m not ready to hand Ken the job. I would like to see the others upcoming.
-
G
Politics? How is it that you have decided there will be politics involved before they even guest host? They must have voiced opinions that you didn't like at some time in their lives. I'm not even sure who you are talking about.
-
G
He's the best choice to replace Alex. I don't 't have to see anyone else.
-
R
I think Ken is great!
Truly believe that is what Alex would want too.
-
G
I think he's perfect for the job. Everyone gave him a hard time right away, but I think he is a smart, funny cute man! Remind you of anyone? Ken is the man! Thank you Alex.
-
P
He grew into the role and has a good personality for the show. Job well done.
-
R
Jenning is a pro. Very respectful of Alex memories. Love the show and with him better. He should be permanent
-
G
Ken Jennings is the right person for the job.
As a very long time fan of the program I hope that we don't have to sit through the proposed list of candidates. Give the nod to Ken
-
B
I think they should declare Ken Jennings the permanent replacement now...
-
C
I agree with Fjp. Ken has done a superb job. Although the other hosts may step in, Ken is a shoe-in for the job. I think the ratings will drop when others are the temporary hosts.
-
P
I've always enjoyed Ken when he was a contestant. He is very smart and witty. He dosent get off point. If Andersen Cooper is on or Katie Couric , I will not watch. They are to controversial.
-
G
Ken is doing a great job,I live in Newfoundland canada and would like for him to continue,good luck.

I think Ken Jennings has done very well in the very tough position of following Alex Trebec. I believe he has earned the spot. I will continue to watch the other guest hosts when they have a turn. Well, I will not be tuning in during Katie Couric's run. The host should be apolitical. She doesn't need to be rewarded for recent statements
-
O
I've been a fan of Jeopardy for years but Ken Jennings stunk has a host smart aleck
-
B
I think he's doing a very good job, although I can tell he's nervous
-
B
Ken has done well. It will be difficult for anyone to replace Alex. He’s irreplaceable.
-
B
Ken Jennings is the perfect fit for Jeopardy! host. He has morphed easily into that role-nervous at first, but much improved as he went along. I have always watched Jeooardy! -for many years- but I also will not watch when Cooper, Guthrie, and Couric guest host. Jeopardy! executives-remember who your audience is: we are NOT hip-hop protesters or radical youngsters. And we don’t need deprogramming!
-
B
I like Ken. It was a big change for viewers and he has risen to the challenge. I hope they keep him. Seems silly but he was on so many times that he's been part of my jeopardy experience for years.
Bright, courteous and funny.
-
G
First of all it hasn't been over a month that Alex was on. Just saw him on jeopardy last night. A rerun but that invalidates your comment. Next there has to be a persona and creditabiliity as a guest host. Those on deck do not shine in those attributes. Not looking to turn jeopardy into a comedy or makes excuse for hosts. 99% do not fit the bill. Ken is numerous uno.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings was nervous, but very good. I think he's perfect & Alex Trebeck would be very happy with the choice
-
C
I think he is doing an excellent job, considering he is stepping in some mighty big shoes.
-
R
rrKen Jennings is a great host. If any of the guest host's become host we will stop watching the show. Ken is so smart, humble, witty, and fun.
Ken did such a nice job of memorializing Alex, his mentor.

He gets better every week! I hope he gets the job!

I am a long time fan, watched Art Fleming , Alex grew into the job, Ken will too KEEP HIM

G
No more jepordy of jennings doesn't stay on. Roscoe
-
O
I think Ken Jennings has done a great job! Being the first guest host he has really stepped up!
-
G
These comments are hilarious. MOST are really delusional, why do people think Katie, Anderson or Dr.Oz will make this show political or whatever y'all hang up is with these people is beyond me. I'm MORE THAN SURE, the producers will not ALLOW ANYONE to POLITICIZE this show.
I really would hate to see if the SAME ONES SAYING THAT, were God, Yall are judging soley off of PAST THINGS the above people have said or done.
I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH KEN, HE'S ADORABLE, EASY ON THE EYES HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, WITTY & A GENTLEMAN; however, If we go by that LOGIC
(of PAST DEEDS, OR THINGS SAID)
He SHOULDN'T BE HOSTING EITHER, didn't he say something RACIST before?
Now IF HE SAID IT OR NOT... I'M SURE Ken is NO ANGEL, & HE'S DONE or said SOME THINGS, that he WOULDN'T BE PROUD OF IF IT WERE BROUGHT TO THE LIGHT.
ALL OF US HAVE... NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE BIAS or reasoning behind you're judging..
(& Y'ALL ARE DEFINITELY JUDGING) QUIT IT, WATCH THE SHOW, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT, OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL IT WON'T AFFECT THEIR RATINGS ANYHOW.
VARIETY keeps life interesting, ALEX LOVED EVERYONE, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU HONOR SOMEONE THAT HAS SHOWN THE WORLD SO MUCH LOVE, LIGHT, PEACE, & POSITIVE ENERGY. I'm sure the way you all are acting ALEX WOULDN'T LIKE THAT, HE SAID, "HE COULDN'T DECIDE WHO WOULD HOST WHEN HE PASSED BECAUSE, HE SIMPLY THOUGHT THAT WHOMEVER WAS PROBABLY CKED WOULD BE A GREAT FIT."
HE DIDN'T SAY, IF THEY PICK SOMEONE LET IT BE THIS PERSON & NOBODY else.
Grow up.

R
Our family thinks he is doing a great job!
-
C
Ken is doing a great job and very intelligent. Also noted he holds his hand and fingers just like Alex. Encourage at end of show the tribute he says to Alex.
-
G
I've watched jennings and think he is doing a great. I will refuse to watch if he doesn't stay. No more jepordy after he leaves. Roscoe
-
B
He is very good I think he should stay he learned a lot from Alex trebek
-
B
I believe Ken should be permanent host. He is witty
-
O
KEEP HIM no Alex but you don't find protection twice on same show again KEEP Him
-
R
I enjoy Ken Jennings positive and sensitive approach as Jeopardy host

R
Ken Jennings did a phenomenal job as host. He's the one.
-
O
I really like Ken as host.
-
P
I’m in the “it’s the game that counts” category. I’m not a Ken Jennings fan, but he’s managed the games well and is an adequate host.
-
G
I LOVE Ken Jennings and think he is doing a FABULOUS a job!
-
R
It's a comfortable fit. I like him.
-
O
Have never been a Ken Jennings Fan but he has done a good job he has a tough act to follow. I however am not ready to hand over the job to him. We owe it to Alex to at least hear the others and for those who will not even watch the upcoming shows Grow Up!
-
C
I think he's doing just fine! He was a little stilted at first but that's to be expected
-
O
I don't plan to watch Anderson Cooper because I just don't like the guy.
-
O
Personally my husband and I don't like the way Jennings hosts Jeopardy. He doesn't have what it takes to be a permanent replacement for Alex. We no longer enjoy watching Jennings flub up daily. It takes a professional individual who has been in show business to host a show. I now do other things when Jeopardy is on. My husband still watches
-
B
Ken is great! Alex is a hard act to follow but Ken stepped in very well. He is very honoring of Alex. I say make him the next permanent host.
-
O
Ken is a keeper! He's the perfect choice to keep Jeopardy fans loyal to the show.
-
R
Doing a great job!!!! He's a natural!!! Alex would approve!!
-
P
Ken Jennings is doing an excellent job. He looks very happy in this job. I know Alex is very proud of him
-
B
Leave him there he makes the show worth watching he's good he knows the show good job ken.
-
B
I think he's fantastic! He's witty & charming & of course was the G.O.A.T.
winner. And how respectful at the end of every game to say Thank you Alex.
The other guest hosts will be good but they have full time jobs already.
I love Ken & want him to be the permanent host.
-
P
Ken us doing GREAT! Credible, humble, personable: 3 terrific attributes. Oh and btw, he's the GOAT! I just can't see going in a different direction to go in a different direction. Let's stay w Ken!
-
R
I think Ken has done a great job and should be the permanent host.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is a great host. I would like to see him as the permanent host.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is doing great. He respected Alex & loved him what he stood for very much
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect person for the job. He can only compliment the fantastic Alex Trebeck. He knows the game.
-
O
Ken is doing a great job. I believe Alex would want him to be the host. Jeopardy will never be the same without Alex but Ken is filling his shoes quiet nicely.
-
P
Ken is a little stiff. doesn't seem to connect easily with contestants
-
B
Surprised at all what a great job he is doing, he has class just like Alex did. If it you put far is left liberals like Cooper or Katie in I,my family, and my friends will never watch again!We watch every night but it with their history of bias and looking down on common people, we would stop watching! We do not want to be thinking how superior they think are, it would take all of attention of off what the program is all about.
-
R
I think he has grown nicely into the role. This past week was especially good. It will be fun to see others but, I am hoping Ken come out on top.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings did a very good job!
-
G
Ken is Fabulous
-
G
I think he is an amazing fit for the job.
He is smart, professional and makes me feel comfortable watching the game. Its very hard to not hear the voice of Alex but he is definitely my choice.
-
P
I liked him, I think.tje contestants appreciated having someone who has been.anf is smart, leading the show. His timing with his comments is good, Alex made those comments too, it feels good..he feels in control, but approachable.
-
G
Ken is doing great! Nobody else could do as well.
-
C
He’s doing ok but sometimes when he corrects a contestant who gives a wrong answer he comes across like “ duh, the right answer is so in so ... everyone should know this “. .... kind of competitive or something
Plus he needs to smile more .
-
P
I was very skeptical when Ken started but I grew very comfortable with him quickly! He is quick witted and calm and comforting and we know VERY smart! I am hoping he will return very soon! So much change in the world right now...everything is looking brighter and Ken would add to that!!! Thank you Alex!
-
G
As usual, he speaks as if he’s in a rush to catch a train. No warmth. Sounds as if he just wants to get it over with.
-
G
We think Ken Jennings is a perfect fit for the job and we truly believe, Alex would agree!!! 👍👍
-
G
I think Ken is perfect for the job. He has experience. Does a football player have experience?! NO! And he's suppose to be a guest host?! Lol! Now you are just making a mockery out of all this "Jeporady" !!!
-
P
I have watched Jeopardy since 1984. I will not be watching Couric, Anderson. OZ, or Sanjay.
-
P
I forgot to add Guthrie. Stopped watching Today several years ago thanks to her.
-
-
C
Pro Ken. He certainly has proven himself, and had some big shoes to fill. Most of the remarks are positive, supporting him as replacement.
-
B
Ken Jennings is the perfect choice...he is the GOAT contestant, and he brings an absolute depth of expertise and insight to the show. The “leader of the band” must have a true understanding of the each component of the process, the skill to show emotion and empathy in the process and above all a profoundly broad knowledge base; Ken Jennings scores a 10 out of 10 in all categories. In my opinion, KJ is the right choice to replace a legend...
-
G
I hope Ken Jennings will be permanent Jeopardy host! He is synonymous with Jeopardy.
On top of it he has displayed wit, humor, intelligence and poise to be the perfect Jeopardy host.
Look no farther, please.
-
R
What makes Ken Jennings a perfect fit is the fact that he knows the game inside out as a “Trebek offspring “ and an official champ of the game. By the way, when I am watching Ken hosting, I am watching Ken; not wishing Alex were back. I am more than quite comfortable tuning into Jeopardy @7PM hosted by the one & only KEN JENNINGS.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter... Jeopardy is an important part of my daily routine.
Jane age 69 love alone
-
G
I’ve watched Jeopardy every night for years. I had doubts that Ken Jennings would fill the bill, but he has kept the tone and pace of the show going flawlessly from Day One. I was totally impressed. And could anyone have a closer connection to the show and Alex than Ken? He deserves the permanent host job.
-
O
I think Ken did a excellent job. I hope they keep him on permanent.
-
O
I think he did a superb job. Personally Ken is Alex's first pick. Ken is very Knowledgeable, kind, respectful and humble just like Alex!!! It's a win win!!
-
G
Keep Ken, please don't cheapen this great show with political bigots or shock jocks! Thank you Alex.
-
B
In my opinion Jeopardy should just keep Ken and forget the other guest hosts. Please no Savannah Guthrie!!! I hate to have to miss a month of the show, but won’t watch her. If the ratings for the show have stayed great with Ken Jennings, keep him there!
-
R
We have really enjoyed watching Ken Jennings host Jeopardy. As far as we are concerned, he should be the permanent host.
-
R
Very, Very good. Big shoes to fill. He is whip smart and has a great personality.
-
P
Ken Jennings should be jeopardy's pick. I loved Alex Trebek and feel Ken has carried forward the same manner when interacting with the players. He should be the one.
-
R
Ken did good in the beginning and is getting better as time goes on. Katie Couric is way too political and will cause many of us to flee our favorite program. Keep Ken!!
-
C
I love Ken Jennings!!!
He is not Alex Trebek but no one will ever be Alex.
I vote for Ken!!!!!!!!
-
C
I like him because he is fast.
-
G
Fantastic job
-
C
Not happy with Ken as guest host. He looks like he is always on edge, not comfortable with hosting.
-
R
I think Ken Jennings did a good job. Once he gets comfortable with the job, he will fit in well. No one can replace Alex Trebec.
-
R
Ken Jennings and Alex seemed to have a special bond from his early days as a contestant. I used to think Ken could be a little arrogant as a contestant
but he has proved himself as the host. In my opinion, Ken Jennings should be offered the honor of replacing Alex.
As a life long viewer of Jeopardy, I WILL NOT be watching Kati Couric or Anderson Cooper in Alex' spot.
-
O
I think he did a fantastic job,pleasantly surprised .
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is doing a good job. I think once he gets used to being at the podium and feels comfortable, he will fit in well. No one can ever replace Alex Tribeca.
-
B
I think that Ken Jennings is excellent. Yes, he is not as smooth and suave as the late beloved Alex Trebek, but he is knowledgeable, pleasant, and very caring about the competitors. He loves the show and admires Alex. He has his own personality, which will, if he is selected the permanent Jeopardy Host become the new face of Jeopardy. I vote enthusiastically for Ken Jennings.
-
R
I like Ken. I smile and enjoy the show just like I did with Alex. I smile at thought of Alex looking down and saying to Ken, what is, job well done Ken!!
-
P
Who is : "doing a great job "
-
G
I think Alex is very proud of the job Ken is doing, hope you make him the permanent host. I know I will not watch when Anderson, Couric, or Rodgers host, sorry no place for media or sports figures to host.
-
O
Keep Ken. Jennings on as host of Jeopardy he’s doing a great job.
-
G
Couric and Cooper can't think fast enough to be the host.
-
C
Ken did an adequate job. We will have to check out some more hosts before having a favorite. He is very articulate, but a bit stiff. Big shoes to fill.
-
R
I think Ken has done a good job. I am looking forward to seeing how others do, but he has done well. I won't be watching Katie Couric.. have lost any respect for her.
-
P
Keep ken! Will not watch others!
-
G
I think he is doing a fabulous job! He's personable, witty, sensitive to the contestants' stories, and humble as he concludes each program with a "thank you" to Alex. I'd give him a 9/10!
-
R
He's the one, search no more
-
G
I believe Ken Jennings is the right fit to host Jeopardy. He has a heart for the game as Alex did. I think production will be DEGRADING the game by having too many hosts and the ones lined up are Not that great. Don't even cause enthusiasm to watch the game. Alex was not perfect and Ken is not perfect but they have respect and love of the game. All others are just a waste of time. At least, that's my opinion. Best of luck Ken!🦋💕
-
G
I vote to keep Ken Jennings. He will become more polished as he gains experience. I was surprised to see Alex s early shows. He grew into the roll. Still miss him.
-
R
Ken does a great job watch it dly
-
B
Not bad but needs to slow down and relax. Nobody is going to replace Alex. Ken needs to stop thanking him at the end of the show and find a way to make this the “Ken Jennings” Jeopardy show. I really enjoyed Alex, mostly because he did not act like someone else but, unfortunately, we need to move on.
-
C
Ken Jennings isGREAT!!! He should stay and never stop saying Thank you Alex
-
G
I think Ken is doing a fabulous job 👏
-
B
Ken should permanent host!
-
B
Ken did awesome and I believe that Alex would have chosen him to be the full-time host of the show . He's the Goat!
-
O
I’m a huge Jeopardy fan. Ken has done a very good job. Let’s face it - anybody going in is going to have a challenge because it’s not Alex. I am looking forward to them having others as well before they make their decision. I do love that Ken says “Thank You Alex” at the end of every show. That warms my heart.
-
O
Ken is not As good as Alex— but Alex 2020 was much better than Alex 1985—watch a few of the early shows and compare to recent episodes— Alex became a much more refined host over the years
KJ is doing a great job and will only get better
-
O
Keep Ken. Marvelous job
-
R
I think Ken is doing an amazing job. Would like to see him be the permanent host
-
O
I think he’s done fantastic and I don’t think jeopardy should try any other guest host. I also truly believe Alex would be HONORED to have Ken become the permanent host. He won’t “replace” Alex because NO ONE will ever replace Alex. He would be so proud of Ken. He so enjoyed it when Ken was on...as he was for James.
Why would you ever consider Dr Oz even as a guest host??? That makes no sense. I have nothing against the doctor but just doesn’t make sense. Please keep Ken. I think he’s great!! He’s done a great job.
-
B
Ken should be the new permanent host .....he's the Goat! And I honestly believe it's what Alex would have wanted!
-
B
I think Ken Jennings is doing a GREAT job, and he seems like an Alex Trebek Jr. Wife and I both love him!
-
C
Go ahead and let him have the host job. The other’s don’t have it. Probably won’t watch if someone else does the show
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job.
-
G
Thought ken did a great job. Don’t think I can’t watch Dr Oz as host!
-
O
Ken Jennings should definitely remain the permanent Jeopardy host
-
O
He's OK but i definitely won't be watching Katie Couric.
-
B
I think he is doing a excellent job and he reads the questions very well and he mingles well with the contestants too. I like him permanently.
-
P
Jennings is first class. He, more than anyone else, knows & under stands the show 100% better than anybody. It’s a real talent. He has it. May look easy, but it is not. In one word: Brilliant.
-
P
I believe that not only is Jen Jennings perfect to follow Alex, but his respect for the man is to be admired. He has gotten better with every episode.
-
G
Jennings is fantastic in hosting Jeopardy. It’s like he’s always done it! I love how at the end he always says “thank you Alex”❤️
-
O
He tries too hard to imitate Alex. I want to see the other guests hosts before l vote for anyone.
-
G
Jeopardy is all about thinking fast and accurate. Ken proved that as the Greatest Winner of All Time. Now he gets to apply that quick response mechanism with a quick wit...to our wondrous advantage. Case in point: look how he didn’t even flinch when trolled by the “H&R Block” final jeopardy contestant. Ken is jeopardy.
-
R
Thumbs up for Ken
-
R
He's great. He's not Alex but he does do a great job in his way which is what you want
-
R
I think he did a great job. Should be permanent.
-
O
He has improved so much since he started and I feel he is a great fit on Jeopardy! He has some humor and makes the contestants relaxed. Perfect for the job!!
-
R
Ken is the man. No need to try any others. He fits perfectly into the jeopardy family, a very familiar face and personality!
-
C
I'm used to Ken already. Knew from his first show he's the right choice. Viewers are interested in the fast paced A&Q, not the moderator and certainly not the Clue Crew!
-
P
Ken is doing a good job. PLEASE no Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie or Katie Couric!!!!!
-
O
Ken has been pretty good, I’d like to see Austin too but I won’t watch if Couric is on.
-
P
Should definitely 🥰 be Ken
-
B
I think he's doing a great job. Definitely don't want celebrities. They make the show all about them.
-
B
Ken Jennings has done a great job. He should stay as permanent host. He has helped my family adjust to Alex Trebeck being gone.
-
G
Ken has done a remarkable job.
He is not suppose to replace Alex but make the show his own .
In my eyes he has done an excellent job of that .
-
O
No one can replace Alex.
However Ken is doing great, he is very knowledgeable, respectful and charming.
.
-
P
As a long time viewer of Jeopardy, I miss Alex, but from day one, Ken Jennings has done a fantastic job. He's quick witted, interacts well with the contestants and he exudes positivity. He has my vote as the new permanent host!
-
G
I think Ken did a very good job
-
G
He did very and should be the full time game host to replace Alex trebek as the full time game host .
-
C
Art Fleming was much stiffer than Ken Jennings. Give the guy a break as he settles in as the only choice that makes sense as Alex's successor.
-
O
Not a fan of his voice, articulation, or personality.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is doing an amazing job. He is very quick and smart, also, most of the times all the contestants finish the categories. I think he should continue as Jeopardy host.
-
P
Ken Jennings is great! He's a natural and the logical choice. He should get the job permanently if he wants it. I bet Alex Trebek would agree.
-
G
He's GREAT! No need to try other guest hosts, seriously!
-
R
I think he has done a terrific job and would like to see him as THE regular host. No woman could fill Alex's shoes. Certainly Not Savanna.
-
R
Boring
-
R
Ken has done a FABULOUS job and should be the permanent host. We LOVE the idea of having a few guest hosts occasionally, that will be FUN. We also love the way he ends the show each night with thank you Alex, a wonderfully sweet tribute to our favorite host of all time, we'll ALWAYS miss Alex💔
-
C
Doing a great job. Flawless delivery of answers.
-
G
Here's doing GREAT! No need to try other guest hosts in my opinion!
-
O
Ken is doing an excellent job. He was nervous the first few days but getting better as the days go by. The last week he was very comfortable and did great.
-
B
I think he is doing a fantastic job. He should be the permanent host
-
O
I think Ken Jennings did a great job! Think it's crazy to have so many guest hosts! Just keep Ken and leave it alone 👍🤗
-
O
I was hesitant at first but after awhile Ken Jennings started growing in me. He is very smart, well spoke and very pleasant. I hope he stays on and there are no more guest host.
Stop playing with your audience by switching guest hosts.
Alex Trebek will always be in our hearts and will always be Jeopardy. Unfortunately he is gone. He gave us many wonderful years, but it is time to move on, turn the page and start a new chapter.
I believe that changing hosts will not let us connect with the game.
In my view, Ken Jennings is the man!
-
C
Ken is doing a great job. Alex would be proud. Ken is settling in real good, more relaxed each week.
I will not watch Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper as they are to radically political. No place on a game
Show for that. It's for enjoyment.
-
R
Keep Ken Jennings as host. It turns out he's great. Forget the other guest hosts!
-
G
I think he has done a great job. He was nervous at first, who wouldn't be, then slid right into the roll of guest host. Love that he thanks Alex at the end of every show. Nice tribute!
-
P
He does a great job, probably the only host that’ll care as much as Alex!! He has my vote! I dread the others on the list!
-
G
Ken is doing a great job! Don't need anymore guest hosts
-
G
I think Ken is doing a great job. He is smart and adds his own wit. He should become the new host. I doubt that some of the new guest host will want the job anyway. I like Ken's little tribute to Alex at the end of each show - very touching. He is a good guy.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is amazing and should become the permanent host.
-
C
Ken Jennings has done a terrific job hosting Jeopardy. He seems genuine and his banter with the contestants is down to earth and shows his quit wit. He is doing Alex proud.
-
P
I think he is getting more comfortable and is doing well.
Knows his stuff like Alex!
-
G
His responses are quite abrupt. He needs to relax a little more. Especially when a contestant misses an answer. He still comes across as being too stiff. Dont think I would enjoy watching Anderson Cooper. We have too many personal and political dfferences.
-
C
Ken Jennings truly embodies the spirit of Jeopardy! As an incredibly successful Jeopardy! contestant under the late, great Alex Trebek to becoming a member of the Jeopardy! team behind the scenes, Mr. Jennings' name, alone, will synonymously be associated with Alex Trebek and the game. Ken Jennings, by far, should be the permanent host due to his illustrious credentials.
-
P
He is a great host
-
G
I think Ken Jennings did a great job! Hope he gets permanent host job. Loved Alex Trebeck and miss him but Jennings is great as host!
-
R
Keep Ken Jennings!!!
-
P
Ken appeared to get more relaxed and comfortable as the episodes progressed. Definitely a thumbs up! ❤️
-
O
No one can or will replace Alex but I think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job.
I think he should be there permanent host.
On a side note, I will not tune in to watch any of the liberal media guest hosts. They are a divisive presence in a show that has always maintained it's integrity and been apolitical.
I doubt very much if Alex would approve of some of the choices.
-
C
Ken is as liberal as they come, evidenced by his Tweets.
-
-
G
He's been doing a great job he is the natural Choice I called it before Alex even passed away. I dont understand why they are complicating the choice. People like consistency and now that we are used to Ken hosting we have to watch a bunch of other guest hosts I'm losing my interest.
-
P
He did a great job. Very nice guy.
-
R
I think he is great in every way keep him
-
B
Will not watch when Katie Couric guest hosts or hosts permanently. Her disrespect for 74M Americans that don't think the way she does is despicable. She should not be there. Same for Anderson Cooper.
-
C
I think he's doing great.
-
G
Ken is inteligent, thoughtful, respectful of past traditions, seems well prepared each night. He is following in the shadow of a legend and all time master of the trade. He has to be given time and opportunity to make it his own. He is well on the way. He gets my vote!
-
G
I liked Ken Jennings, I thought he did a great job. Not to interested in watching the others you have chosen to host the show.
-
G
Ken Jennings is doing a great job. Jeopardy is going to lose a lot of viewers by bringing in all these others turning it into a circus. They’ve got the viewers with Jennings - why risk losing them?
-
G
Ken Jennings is developing wonderfully as the Jeopardy host. On the day Alex passed away, the ABC evening news anchor ended the sad announcement in this way,
"I think today, we've all lost a friend." We know this and share this and Ken is certainly one of us. He has really helped all of us missing Alex, and will continue to do so.
-
C
Ken is by far the master of Jeopardy as a contestant. Incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable in so many areas. He has evolved, learning he must take James’ betting strategies to win the Tournament of Champions.
He will evolve similarly as host, learning and improving as time passes. Every day he is more confident and comfortable and his instant versatility is remarkable.
I welcome the others as temporary guest hosts, and wish them well.
In the end, I expect Ken to become the permanent host and Alex will heartily approve.
-
P
Ken is doing great hope he the chosen one to be host of jeopardy p
-
B
No one asked me. 🙂 I think Ken did a FANTASTIC job. In fact, when this is all over, he will stand above any of the other possibilities.
-
G
I personally hope he doesn't get it. Not happy with him, too much about himself.
-
R
Ken stepped into a huge pair of shes to fill. I think he is doing a great job. Couldn't ask for a better fit
Though I d miss Alex. Gone but not forgoten
-
P
I think people need to rate ALEX TREBEK after HE hosted for his first 2 weeks.
Big, big, big difference......
-
C
I think Ken Jennings is the best host for Jepordy. This is a big role for him but I think he's making progress. Everyone in the new job slowly gets better and better. And after all he is the G.O.A.T.
-
R
I think Ken is good very smart
-
P
I think he did a wonderful job. No one is going to fill the role of Alex Trebek, but Jennings comes real close.
-
B
Better than Alex, Ken is the best ever. I noticed Alex was quite starting to make quite a few mistakes
1 1
-
O
Thats just mean. Your comment about Alex at the end was uncalled for. He passed away just several days after his last show. Being in the Medical Field this alone was miraculous.

-
O
Keep Ken..no need to look further. Ken is a class act, intelligent man who puts focus on contestants and game of Jeopardy. Alex would agree = keep Ken Jennings. No one can replace Alex, we all know that!
-
P
Keep Ken
-
C
Ken is doing a great job.
-
R
Give it to Ken. Seemless transition! Congratulations to our next long term host!!
-
O
I was prepared not to like Ken but he has done an excellent job. As the time goes on he is relaxing more with the contestants and interacting with them. I think Alex would be proud. I think he is a good choice.
-
O
Ken has done a superb job transitioning into a very sacred place. Trying out novice celebrities is a total waste of air time. Mayim Bialek? Dr.Gupta?? What’s your ultimate goal?? Either hire Ken or bring in another bright intelligent experienced likable personality.
-
R
I believe Jennings is doing an excellent job as the new host for Jeopardy. I also believe the long parade of guest hosts is a mockery to the shows integrity and should not occur. Let's get on with the show. Ken is the perfect fit and, afterall, it's Jeopardy that counts.
-
R
Ken Jennings has been great! Why bother with the others!
-
P
I elect him he is doing great
-
P
Totally agree with FJP.
Will not watch other guest hosts. Keep politics out. Ken keeps the values of Jeopardy in tact.
-
O
What happened to Buzzy Cowen? He would be a great host. He always told Alex he wanted his job.
-
C
Agree with fjp. He is perfect for the host position. This is Jeopardy. Don’t spoil it with a bunch of movie stars, singers, journalists, etc.
My vote is 100% for keeping Ken Jennings. He’s doing a great job and he understands the game.
-
R
Ken is doing a good job but I would also like to see what others have to offer. We need something to compare
-
C
I thought Ken did a great
Job now he's one who knows
The game from both sides...
Way to go Ken...goat player..
and now host.....👍👍👍
-
O
Did great, put the focus on the players just as Alex did.
-
O
I think we should wait and give the other hosts a chance and then make our opinions known. Wouldn’t that make more sense.

Such tough shoes to fill. Ken has been professional, welcoming to all ( huge following) and above all respectful to Alex.
Thank you, Ken, for a job well done!
-
O
Ken Jennings stepped into some mighty professional shoes and is doing a phenomenal job. We've been watching Jeopardy for years and loved Alex dearly, Ken is a perfect fit, since we had to have someone to unfortunately replace Alex.
I probably won't be watching Jeopardy when he is replaced with the other Hosts.
We really believe Ken would have been Alex's choice, had he been given a choice!!!
-
C
Ken is doing a decent job. He reads the answers quickly, so the show moves along nicely. He does seem a little awkward when interviewing contestants, sometimes a bit creepy with his comments. Overall, though, thumbs up.
-
C
We all watched Ken as a contestant and now as a guest host. It goes without saying that Ken’s knowledge of Jeopardy in both roles has earned our respect and we believe that Alex had that same respect for Ken Jennings while he was a contestant. He became a household name during his time as a contestant and thus can continue the legacy of Alex Trebek. You will loose viewers by your rotating guest hosts and every game show needs respect for the knowledge and professionalism of the host. Ken has earned it so stop playing a game and negotiate a contract with Ken that will keep the Jeopardy ratings at the high level they were with Alex and are now with Ken Jennings. You may be playing Russian roulette by rotating hosts. Do not change what is working. Keep Ken !!
-
G
I loved Ken when he was a contestant and I love him even more as the guest host. I know Alec is looking down on him and I am sure he would be very proud!!! I am rooting for Ken!
-
R
Would like to see a woman hosting. Ken is good, but......
-
B
Excellent. No need to look further
-
R
He's not the one....
-
B
Ken is great and a good fit for the show.
-
P
His voice is a little soft for this game. He doesn't come across as being comfortable. I know that Alex Trebek is hard to replace but he has to come out stronger.
-
C
I think he is great...He does a wonderful job...We miss Alex but Ken is doing a fantastic job..for us Ken is the guy! Love his personality, his dynamic personality...I do wish he would be the one to take the job of hosting..he does it so well.! My vote...Ken...love watching the show with Ken ! He is basically an unknown or was..we do not need already know hosts...I hope to see him as a full time Hostthank you!
-
B
Ok I'll be a outlier here, this is ultimately a broadcasters job, a professional actors job, he's not a professional. He lacks the voice and frankly, the appearance but most lacking is the presence. If you weren't aware that he was the Jeopardy GOAT, and watched with fresh eyes and ears would he be your first or second choice? He's been a great contestant, but for me- he's not the voice I want to hear regularly.

O
He’s a perfect fit! It only makes sense that he takes over permanently.
-
G
Alec would want Ken. He is doing a great job.
-
G
I have been shocked how much I’ve enjoyed Ken as a host. I expected his little lisp to bother me but it doesn’t at all. He is very smooth with his style during the body of the game and his warm interaction with the guests seems more natural than even Alex sometimes seemed.
-
O
He is great
I feel he would make an excellent replacement.
Been watching for years
Thumbs up
-
G
He talks very fast and doesn't come across as sincere.
-
B
Love Ken Jennings! Would like him to be the permanent host.
-
G
I think he's a great fit. I can't see anybody else taking the spot. Well, except Alex and we know he's not coming back! Thanks Alex!
-
O
No reason for any more guest hosts. Ken should get the job full time.
-
O
Ken was awesome
-
C
I think Ken is doing a terrific job! I vote for him to stay on. Had watched Alex for years. Loved him! Ken still makes it enjoyable to watch.
-
G
Ken has been very well suited for hosting Jeopardy. However, I am curious to see how the other prospects hold up. The guest hosts should have "interviewed" while Alex was still around and he should have been given the opportunity to choose his successor.
-
O
I wasn't sure I would like Ken as host, but he quickly won me over. After we all see the other guest hosts we will know with out a doubt that Ken is the man for the job. ♥
-
O
Ken did an amazing job. How difficult would this be for anyone to come in after Alex. He is very professional. Loved him hosting.
-
G
I thought Ken did a wonderful job. He was respectful to Alex every night. He interjected his own personality into the contestant interviews. I thought he was great!
-
R
Mr. Jennins was excellent as host. His polite manner and his quick wit was refreshing (and reminded of Mr. Trebek).
-
P
Ken is really doing great! As he gets more comfortable as host, you can see him relaxing. I wish he was continuing. In six months I think he really would have developed into hi own relaxed person. Sadly thats not going to happen at least not yet.
Great job Ken, I think as host that is where you are suppose to be. I'm hoping!!! (Maybe even praying).Hey you know Alex developed over time. He was a little uneasy at first. But boy he became a treasure. Something I think would happen to Ken over time. Thanks for letting me share.
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is the only choice for host!
I will admit he appeared a little nervous the first week, but who doesn’t when starting a new job, especially trying to take over for someone like Alex Trebek. The biggest reason I think it should be Mr. Jennings is because he is part of jeopardy in such a big way. Bringing in someone who is brand new to the production of the show just seems wrong. He also seems to have so much respect and love for Alex.
No one will ever be able to replace Alex Trebek, but I believe Ken Jennings is the closest thing we have and will always keep Alex in our hearts and minds. Well done, Ken Jennings👏🏻
-
G
I think he was fantastic! Very engaging and supportive of each contestant. I hope he becomes the regular, full time host!!
-
B
No political people please. Ken is the one. We don’t watch for anyone’s opinion. Too much of that is already taking over our entertainment. Please don’t add to our frustration.
-
O
I believe that he did a great job of hosting , and paid a loving tribute to Alex .
-
O
Ken has done an awesome job! Loved the "thank you Alex" at the end of each program. Look no farther, we have a host for ]
-
G
He’s becoming very comfortable as a host and endearing.
-
O
I missed Alex very much but Ken Jenner is doing a very job
-
O
Love Ken's performance, he was respectful and caring. I think Mr. Jennings has done a great job considering the shoes he had to fill. No one will ever replace Alex Trebek! Ken came real close! 👍🙂
-
O
Ken is the natural choice to be permanent host. He is personable, witty, knowledgeable, and having been a contestant on the show for so long, has a huge advantage over anybody else who would like the job!
Please, please, please let him be the full-time host. I have enjoyed his hosting a great deal.
-
O
I'm a huge Jeopardy fan. Don't call me at 7:30!! It is my opinion that Ken Jennings is the perfect fit to be the new host. He is not trying to replace Alex, but to honor his spirit. Congratulations on a job well done, Ken.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings seemed a little nervous at first (as anyone would be). However, I think he is doing a great job now. I wouldn’t look any further. He knows the show and how it works. I vote for him. 100 percent.
-
G
He was good. Won't watch when news media have expressed hatred for POTUS and conservatism
-
O
No need to interview any others. Ken is great.
-
B
He’s doing a great job. I hope they keep him!
-
B
He is a perfect replacement. He seemed very comfortable and he definitely has the knowledge. I hope they give him the job!
-
C
My husband and I watch every night - Ken has really surprised us in a good way and is welcome in our home anytime...he’s quite a gentleman, respectful of Alex, and his intelligence shines.
-
B
Ken Jennings is doing an awesome job!!! He earned the spot.
-
R
Please keep the Hollywood elites out. Ken is humble and natural. Hire him..
-
G
Naturally someone would be awkward trying to fill this spot on TV. Jennings in my opinion is doing great. We have to give all a chance but of all the names listed so far, my vote is Jennings.
-
R
Ken is jeopardy! If you put some else in it would just be another show!
-
B
His voice is a little too high. Otherwise it seems to be a successful reign.
-
G
Ken Jennings has done a great job hosting Jeopardy.
-
G
It would be difficult for any one to follow Alex but I think Ken is doing a good job 👍👍👍
-
O
Ken is doing an excellent job!
-
G
There was one unique Alex. and there would never be another. I love and miss him but I think Ken did a really good job. Actually I was hoping he would be the next jeopardy host. Waiting to see what the future co host will do.
-
G
Filling Alec's shoes was a big challenge for anyone but Ken did a very good job.
-
G
He's is better than great! When we look at him...we think of Alex. What could be better than that? Plus, he hasn't made one mistake...He is perfect for the job! Please keep him.👍
-
R
I think he did a great job considering how difficult it must be for him. Alex Trebek was an icon & anyone in the position of trying to take over after his death has got to be in awe of being asked to guest host this iconic TV show.
-
R
He is doing well.
-
C
Do not think he has the charisma needed. Tone of voice is too dull. Need to move on.
-
O
I think he is doing fantastic, he's a real pro. I vote for him 100 percent
-
C
I've been a Jeopardy fan since the 1980's and loved Alex Trebek as host. I wasn't sure how I'd find anyone else at the helm suitable, but Ken is doing an admirable job. He is seeming more comfortable each day and his demeanor with the contestants is encouraging towards them and friendly. Also, like Alex, he doesn't overshadow the contestants but let's them shine. I'm curious to see some of the guest hosts, but honestly if they just stick with Ken, I'd be pleased. And I so agree with Ken, thank you Alex.
-
B
I think Ken has done Alex proud. Keep him. Why go any farther. On with the show!
-
G
Ken is awesome!! I didn’t think I would like him but he has really won me over 🙂
-
O
Ken was great! Perfect host for Jeopardy💕
-
B
Sorry, would rather "anyone" else !!
-
O
His doing a pretty good job so far. We miss Alex but him keeps his memory alive.
-
R
Ken Jennings!!! No one else. If you have all those other people do the hosting, you will ruin the show!!! A lot of people will quit watching, including me. I think one reason Ken is the person is that we connect him with Alex Trebek. You don't think of Alex when any of the other people are mentioned the way you do when Ken is mentioned. That brings back the memories!!!!
-
P
I do not like Ken Jennings as host AT ALL!!!
-
R
Ken is the BEST for the job, he's doing an excellent job no one else will do better he's the only one for the job
-
O
Ken is doing great, very professional.
-
C
Doing a great job.
-
O
No to the very polarizing Anderson Cooper.
-
B
He's doing GREAT job !
-
R
I loved Ken. He is a perfect fit for Alex. I like his intellectual mannerism. Remind me of how Alex was. Don’t need another comedy, immature game show host. Plenty of them out there. NO to Couric and her liberal agenda. Once a fan. Am no more!!!
-
O
I will not be watching Jeopardy if/when Katie Couric hosts. She is too polarizing. She has made her personal feelings will known and is offensive to many. One thing that made Alex great was that he seemed like a friend who we all could relate to. Katie Couric - not.
-
R
I like Ken as the jeopardy host. He did a great job. Had big foot steps to follow in.
I found that at times he needs to slow down when he talks. I want to see the other hosts. I will vote for Ken
-
G
I love Ken Jennings! He reads the questions exceptionally well, which is not always easy. Of course he isn’t Alex but then no one is. I like how he thanks Alex at the end of each show. Hope he stays permanently!
-
R
I say let's keep Ken Jennings - I don't need to see anyone else
-
P
Hope Ken Jennings is the permanent host.
-
O
I think he did an amazing job. I would like to see him become permanent emcee.
-
O
Keep Ken please he is 👍 great
-
O
I think he is doing well. Unless I'm very surprised by the upcoming guest hosts, he has my vote for permanent host, if he wants it.
-
G
Keep Ken...he is a great host and has a deep connection to the show.
-
O
If one of these “Hollywood bigshots” get it ,it will be all about them and just like everything else on tv . Ken carries on as Alex would have wanted . Will not watch of someone else gets it !!!

Ken Jennings is doing a GREAT JOB.

Ken Jennings is great as jeopardy host! Very sincere and even has a dry sense of humor. Who knew? Keep up the good work, Ken!
I won’t watch Katie Couric or Savannah Guthrie. Too political! Jeopardy is our safe haven AWAY from politics!
-
C
If you think Couric or Guthrie are too political you obviously are not aware of Jennings tweet where he wished that millions of Americans would die because their political views were different from his.

-
-
O
He should be the host. He is exceptional! Alex would be so proud of his friend! Ken kept things orderly, moving, had the perfect beats, conversation with contestants, put the emphasis on them, read everything well, clear enunciation. He learned well from Alex. They don’t need anyone else trying out. He is their pick or should be.

I think Ken is great . Smooth as can be, fits the role.. And the best jeopardy player ever, who better to lead the show. You get the feeling he's so connected to each contestant.

I like Ken. He's doing a great job. I will not be watching Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper. Too political for me. I watch this game show to get away from all that.
-
C
if you think Couric and Anderson are too political you're obviously not aware of a Jennings tweet where he wished that millions of Americans would die because their political views were different from his
-
-
O
I think Ken Jennings does a pretty good job stepping in for Alex Trebeck. But I won't watch if Katie Couric or anyone like her hosts. She's too political for me.
-
C
Jennings has tweeted that he wished millions of Americans would die because their politics were different from his.
-
-
P
I have been watching Jeopardy since day 1 and I can honestly say that Ken Jennings has done a fantastic job as emcee for Jeopardy. Just like the great Alex Trebek, Ken Jennings has shown how distinct and clear he talks on the show.

R
Please pick Ken!
We don't need more of Katie Couric or Cooper Anderson.

Ken is great! Don’t ruin the show with a liberal Democrat host!

Jennings is worse than them all. He tweeted that he wished millions of Americans would die because their politics were different than his

B
Ken did very good he is my choice being smart i will check out the others

-
C
It's impossible for me to watch a guy who tweeted that he wished millions of Americans would die because of their political affiliation. The Jeopardy producer should be careful about who they choose to host the show. I just hope that they don't also agree with the evil sentiments of Jennings
-
O
Did a great job. Keep him. Will not be watching during the stint of the other guests...particularly Cooper and Guthrie....they have liberal baggage ....
-
C
Jennings has even worse liberal baggage he publicly tweeted that he wished millions of trump supporters would die
-
-
P
He's ok but Jeopardy needs smeone a lil more firm in its presentation. Smetmes Ken's words get muffled when he speaks. I think Levar Burton would be a good fit. He has the voice and distinguished host presence.
-
O
Doing a great job, will stop watching show if Katie Couric host
-
P
Ken is doing a great job.He is smart,articulate,and is quick like he has done this for yes.I also if I might add think Katie Couric is a mistake.I will not watch if she is a guest host and really hope others dont either.please keep Ken
-
B
I thought Ken did a really outstanding job! It seemed a seamless transition from Alex to Ken. My way of thinking on Ken Jennings assuming the Jeopardy Hosting position is this: Not only is he still the Top Winner of All Time, but that also comes with time on the show with Alex. He got to know Alex well, very well I would say. Some perks with Alex and appearances with Alex parlays into a very personable relationship between the two. For those reasons, Ken Jennings earned his Host of Jeopardy position

-
G
Ken has done a great job as host and is deserving of the position.
Alex would be proud!
-
G
I think he will do well to replace alex
-
C
I think Ken Jennings is a good fit for the show. At first I didn't think so, but now I just wish they would have Ken Jennings as the permanent host. Why bother to interview all those other people. I really hope that Dr. Oz does not get interviewed. I will not watch Jeopardy if Dr. Oz is on the show.
-
G
I loved Ken’s wit and his quickness of thought. He did an amazing job.
-
G
Love Ken Jennings as Jeopardy host.
-
O
Keep Ken!

It’s going to be hard to find someone to replace Alex. But in all fairness someone deserves a chance to , I personally don’t think Ken is the one.

I really like him as host!

He gets my vote!

Ken’s the best.

Ken did an excellent job. I hope he will be a permanent host .

Disinvite all the other guest hosts. Hire Jen as permanent host.

R
I think Ken Jennings was great.
He did a great job connecting with the contestants. He made them feel comfortable and asked the questions very clearly. He would make a great host. He was respectful to Alex Trebeck.
-
O
Ken should be the permanent host. He has been doing a fantastic job.
-
C
Just keep Ken, Don't even bother with those other three, especially Couric.
-
R
I say just make it official. The other guest hosts seem to be just checking off a bucket list item. Ken is doing a great job of honoring the memory of Alex while solidly grabbing the baton & running with it.
-
R
I think Ken did a wonderful job. He should be the host always.
-
G
He’s your man. No one can replace Alex. Ken had a special place in Alex’s heart so that’s all I need to know. I’m use to him. What is give that man the job.
-
O
Jennings all the wsy... Will not watch a single episode of Couric or Cooper.
-
C
I think he is doing an excellent job, seems very at comfortable and at ease with the guests.
-
G
He is new at this give him a break. I think he did great. I hope he stays. I really enjoyed him He did better and better. And very funny at times A nice change
-
G
Ken is doing great,he gets more comfortable everyday Alex would be proud 👍🏻❤️
-
G
Love watching Ken Jennings. Please keep him.
-
G
We need another apolitical Canadian.
-
R
He was a total surprise! Didn’t think he would do well- but he is doing a great job! While no one can take Alex’s place, he would get my vote to permanently host.
-
G
I think he's been great. Only needs to be helped slowing down the questioning a little. Can see him being permanent.
-
O
I am not excited about the other guest hosts. I may or may not watch.
-
O
I like Ken and feel he should be the host no need to look for any other and if k Couric is a host I will not watch

My husband and I both think Ken Jennings is doing a great job. We hope he will be a permanent host for our favorite game show.

I think Ken is doing a fabulous job. No one person will ever match up to Alex ever!!!! I continue to enjoy the show and I think given time as he becomes more comfortable with this this role Ken will be a great fit
-
O
Great job! I think he would be a wonderful replacement.
-
R
Ken Jennings is the perfect host for Jeopardy and we want him to stay!!!

He's doing a fantastic job!

I think they should try out other people before we select someone. Alex is very hard to replace. They should do it right

Make Ken the permanent host! Putting these other celebs in will only devalue the show and make it circus-like.

When and where was this poll?

I think he is wonderful and love him thanking Alex at the end of every show🥰
-
G
Ken does an amazing job. Very comfortable, and smoothly transitions between questions and the contestants. He is a natural. Keep him, worthy of the job.

O
I really think Ken is doing a great job. I hope he be the host for good. If Katie Couric or Anderson host the show, I will not watch it again.
-
B
Ken is doing a excellent job. He is very professional.
-
C
Ken is fantastic...this is a no Brainer decision...he should get the job! He's proven to be the next best host next to Alex.
-
G
if not broken don’t fix it. Jennings has done a great job and people connect him to Alex.
-
O
HE'S DONE A FINE JOB! Sorry didn't mean to yell. He doesn't have the baggage that 'supposed' journalists would bring to the party.
-
G
I think he is doing an excellent job and I look forward to him being the official host. I like all the other forthcoming guests but having won 74 games himself, I look at it as his game to have.
-
O
Yes Ken is doing a great job! Best host! He should be the permanent new host. We are enjoying watching with him hosting.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job as a host. He seems to be very comfortable in his new job. He has a great personality and shows great respect for Alex. I think they should make him permanent.

Jennings is terrible. I watch because I love the show. Hope they can find someone better.
-
G
He is great. He deserves the job.

C
Ken Jennings did a tremendous job. He had clarity with words, calmness an poise.
Our family cant believe that Katie Couric, or Anderson Cooper or anyone else would do as well. He is very knowledgeable an make contestant feel comfortable.

O
Ken Jennings is an excellent host. His personality fits the program perfectly.
-
B
I think Ken is doing a good job. He looks the part!
-
C
Oops Ken J.not k
-
C
He thinks he is smarter than the contestants and lets them feel awkward. He does not say the words correctly
-
R
Don’t plan to watch Katie Curic
Love Ken. He is doing a great job. He is not Alex and not trying to be. He is doing a great job just being himself.
Katie is rude and she is unacceptable. Will never watch again if she is host.
-
R
I think that Ken should be the only Hostess for Jeopardy.ALEX would be so proud of him....I will quit watching jeopardy if anyone else takes over....
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a great job
-
P
Ken Jennings is that should be hired. Sure he's a little rough around the edges. This is his first hosting gig. He will improve with experience just as Alex did.
-
C
Great.....love the job he’s doing
-
R
He seems to be very at ease and for me he’s doing great. He watched Alex and learned well. I think Alex would be proud of Ken. Let’s just watch and see how the others do.
-
B
Ken is doing a great job. He should be given the full time roll.
With some of the other planned guest hosts. I wont be watching.
Ken rocks it!
-
C
He's perfect for the show, fits the demeanor of the show. Like him enough to quit watching if he isn't the next host
-
C
Ken surprised me as how well he is doing. I enjoy him every day!
-
C
Ken is doing a great job!!! We don’t need other guest host!!! I love this game but not with some of those host!!!!! Ken would be and should be the host!
-
B
I really like Ken Jennings and think he did an awesome job! You must factor in the fact that he was following directly after Alex Trabek, may he Rest In Peace, who’d been at this job for 30 years? Well done, Ken Jennings!!
-
G
Cancel the rest of the guest host and give him the job permanently!!
-
R
I think Ken is doing an excellent job - #10 for me!
-
R
Ken Jennings has my vote.
-
O
Why do you keep looking for another host Nobody will measure up to ken Good work Ken. Keep up the good work
-
G
I think he is a perfect fit! And I know Alex would be pleased😊
-
C
He had a rough 1st week but he has settled in and is much more comfortable in his role now...I think he's doing great but really there is no one who can replace Alex
-
G
I hope Ken Jennings, will be the new, permanent host, as he deserves it. I feel any awkwardness will vanish, as he has the opportunity to grow into this position, as he has some mighty big shoes to fill!
-
P
Love him! I think Alex would Approve!
-
B
I think Ken is doing an awesome job. Although no one can replace Alex Trebek Ken is doing a great job. My vote is for Ken.
-
R
Ken is great,actually better than I thought he would be. But you are making a mistake with some of the others especially with powerful political views...I for one won't be watching a few of them!!!!
-
B
Why would you even consider some of these politically toxic names for this show? Watch the ratings drop when they are on. There has always been a certain gravitas and neutrality with Alex and now with Ken. Leave it alone!
-
C
I feel when I watch Ken it’s like I’m watching Alex. He is smooth just like Alex was. He is polite and very easy to watch . He is the one and he is very smart and quick I love his presentation and you can see it with the contestants as they appear to be relaxed as this is how Ken makes them feel.
Good luck Ken you’re the one......
-
C
Keep Ken! Love him. I will NOT watch if Katie Couric hosts.
-
O
I like Ken Jennings as host. He got better once he got over his nervousness. I believe Jeopardy should avoid using hosts who bring any kind of political baggage to the show. Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, George Stephanopolous would all be mistakes.
-
G
Keep Ken. He is the best.
-
O
Alex hand picked Ken and he’s doing a awesome job , keep him permanently
-
C
His feminine voice grosses me out! Get others in the mix!
-
B
I am hoping he gets it! He is good! If any of the political commentators get the job, I’m done with it! Won’t watch anymore.
-
O
He has taken over very nicely. If you are getting that many positive comments and the ratings are good, why mess around and take a chance with new people. He's a winner on the show and is polished and smart. Don't take chances!
-
P
Doing a great job
-
R
Please Please. No to Katie Couric. She would ruin the legacy of Jeopardy. Ken Jennings all the way.
-
C
Will not watch if Kati Couric hosts and the millions of republicans who she feels need to be reprogramed should do the same.
-
P
Ken is doing great! Keep him.
-
B
Ken is doing an excellent job, in both hosting and showing a reverence to Alex, that NONE of the other mentioned guest hosts, will not be able to truly capture. The reason I say this, as some of these other hosts, may have been friends with Alex ..but Ken is the only one , that we, the audience know. I hope the viewing audience hangs in there till Ken is back! I don't know if I will be able to, as some are so contravesioinal in other hot area's today.
-
P
Ken is doing a great job!

G
He is great he reminds me of alex
-
O
Ken Jennings did a remarkable job. He has my vote.
-
O
There will never be another Alex but Jennings is doing an outstanding job. He should be the new permanent host!
-
O
He’s doing a wonderful job! No need to look elsewhere!
-
O
KennJennings is by far better than anyone listed to guest host. Dilly dally too long and lots of people will find another show to watch in that time slot.
-
G
I love Ken Jennings. No way would I watch if it is Katie Couric or Savannah Guthrie!!!!
-
O
Ken is okey, but in my estimation, it is going to be hard to replace Alec.
-
G
I think he is doing fantastic. He is making the show more lighter with laughter and engaging with the contestants which Alex didn’t do. He’s an excellent reader and looks right into the camera and he looks genuinely enjoying it.
-
P
I think he is great. He definitely is feeling a little more at ease with every show. Why waste time with all the “celebrity” hosts? It’s great seeing someone who truly earned this job!
-
G
I agree with the 8%. Ken is okay, but lacks charisma.

B
Great job Ken! I hope you get the gig.
-
G
Keep Jennings. No need for a celebrity circus. And NO Katie Curic. I don't need de-programming.
-
G
You may as well cancel the rest of the scheduled guest hosts (Aaron Rodgers, come on) and anoint Ken Jennings as the permanent host. He’s a natural.
-
O
I think Ken is perfect for the show. He's very professional, he has no baggage following him, he has a respectable personality and most of all he has no ego!!
-
C
Great job. It will continue to be a great program and we know that it is a big change since Alex Trebeck is no longer with us.
Ken Jennings is doing a fine job. I think Alex would be pleased and knows it takes time to make it your own. He would be an encouragement to Ken.
-
C
HE'S THE MAN FOR THE JOB
-
O
Missing Alex. Such big shoes to fill. Ken is doing okay but look forward to seeing others to see if it’s just missing Alex that is making it hard to accept Ken as the “one”.
-
O
Ken is the best fit for the show and I think Alex would agree....
-
G
I vote you keep ken as the permanent host.
-
O
I think Ken did a great job. He should be the host once the other guest hosts are done.
-
G
Ken is doing a terrific job! Filling the shoes of our beloved Alex is an incredibly difficult thing to do. We, as an audience, were so used to receiving the smoothe flow of entertainment from Alex for years, it naturally would take some adjusting to a new host. Ken is not coming in trying to change or disrupt that flow we are accustomed to. We all knew it would take a super smart person to fill the bill and Ken has done just that! If it was up to me, at this point I would have awarded the job to Ken. I can't imagine that the followup guest host will ever come close to the superb flow Ken has established. Ken just needs to stop thanking Alex at the end of the show, its awkward at this point and we all are in agreement that we miss Alex but life goes on. Great job Ken!
-
B
Great job Ken Jennings
-
G
Doing a great job. Keep him
-
O
Ken Jennings absolutely should be the permanent host he s doing a perfect job it's a big mistake having other guest hosts it takes away from the game and not fair to the contestants and watch the ratings drop so get smart Ken Jennings as permanent host
-
O
I feel that Ken Jennings is doing a great job and would be an excellent replacement for Alex.
-
B
Ken Jennings is crushing it! Give him the job please!
-
G
Ken Jennings without a doubt should be the permanent host of Jeopardy! It would be a big mistake to consider anyone else!
-
O
He has done a superb job, he brings credibility to the job that no one else can.
-
R
Ken is very good at being the host of jeopardy. Please keep him. He shows so much respect for the show and the memory of Alex Trebek.
-
P
He’s doing great ! Unexpectedly superb. Copying Alex Trebeck style with smoothness
-
C
We love Ken Jennings as the host. He is a real natural.
-
G
I love ❤️ Ken doing the show hw doesn’t miss a beat. He comfortable funny also makes others fell comfortable too He honors Alex will not watch Copper or Couric they never tell the truth on TV
-
C
the others don’t need a job, they make millions already
So ridiculous to give others a try who are celebrities and not ordinary peolpe
-
C
I think he has earned the job. I am sad you are bringing other guest hosts on. Put Ken in and lets move on. He knows how the show should be done.
-
B
I’m all for Ken. I wasn’t sure initially but he’s really come around. True fans know Ken. He’s dedicated. We know Alex with Ken. We know the robot vs Ken and the all time championship with Brad, etc. He’s family to us. Anyone else would not fit. No matter their star power. It’s a nerd show. Alex was a nerd. Ken is a bit of a nerd. He’s perfect but does he want it?
-
G
Ken is doing an awesome job! He is easy to watch & as he has progressed he is getting more comfortable it appears. He moves the show along smoothly & keeps the Trebeck style flowing along with interjecting his own personality as well. In my humble opinion I think he will hold the audience.
Ken's your man!
Although Anderson has the experience he won't make the transition.
Katy is very good at what she does but not Jeopardy material. A woman in the position will lose the audience completely.
As I said Ken's your Man!
-
C
Ken is doing great. Alex would be honoured to have Ken filling in for him. Ken makes all contestants feel comfortable and he is very knowledgeable with the topics. I really enjoy watching jeopardy with Ken. Hope he stays on permanently.
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing amazingly well!! Hope he gets the nod to take over permanently!!
-
B
I think Ken is settling in and doing a great job! Anyone following Alex has some BIG shoes to fill. I like that he is keeping with the traditional show format and not trying to steal the spotlight. I really hope he becomes the new (permanent) host!
-
P
Ken Jennings is doing a superlative job! He is intelligent, invested in the show, and has the deft touch of Alex. He has a way of honoring each player and a very positive demeanor. While it will be fun to see some of the other guest hosts, I’d vote to give the job to Ken as soon as possible!
-
P
Miss Alex after all the years, but I think Ken is great as the new host. Great personality.
-
O
I think he’s doing a great job. Wont watch if Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper host. Would love to have a host that hasn’t alienated 1/2 of America.
-
G
He has done an amazing job. He fits the bill seamlessly.
-
R
EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL, PERFECT.
From bow to sign off. .

G
He is great. He is allowing contestants and audiece a smooth transition. Thanks ken
-
O
Great! Keep him in place. Few people could do this hosting job.
-
O
Great job
-
R
Love Ken Jennings as the Host!! Okay, will admit it was tough to warm up and get used to a new face, voice, and personality and let's be honest those were some BIG shoes to fill. Anyone would have to be scared going in. Yes, Ken seemed a touch "stiff" the first week but since then he has relaxed and fit in perfectly. He has wit and charm and style and like Alex, Ken is a class act.
I truly think Ken Jennings would and will be the perfect candidate to park his Jeopardy shoe right beside those of Alex's. Keep up the great work and "thank you Alex"
-
R
Love Ken Jennings hosting Jeopardy! I think he’s doing a great job! It seems like a natural fit and I think Alex would be happy❤️
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing an excellent job. He seems very comfortable, knowledgable and personable. I would love for him to take over permanently.
-
B
Ken Jennings is the perfect host!
Jeopardy deserves a believable non controversial individual, not tv celebs that 1/2 the audience might not identify with politically.

I think Ken has done an excellent job. He had big shoes to fill and he has done that very well. He is very knowledgeable, polite and is well groomed. If the others are even on the show for one time I will not watch again.
-
B
Growing into it nicely, slow start, now I'd vote for him
-
P
Ken is doing a great job.first couple of weeks he. Had to get in the groive.well he hit the groove love him. Especially the way he honors Alex perfect.i think we dont need any other guest host.make ken permanently
-
G
Ken is doing a great job hosting....Alex would be proud
-
O
My family have been big fans of Jeopardy for years and truly were heartbroken when this gracious man with so much charisma and compassion passed away, we knew it was going to be a very difficult job to replace him. We know Ken is trying but he is just not the best one for the job, he is a bit robotic and it shows .
We believe Jeopardy executives should try asking Mark Andrew Labbett for the job or at least try him out. I know his roll on ' the chase' was beastly at times but I believe that was just acting of course... Many times we were able to see a very compassionate, caring and gracious man on that show... He also lost much weight since then I believe . We believe he will do well as host.

Getting better with each show. Makes people feel comfortable. Hope he becomes permanent host.

C
Ken has manage to take some of the sadness away of missing Alex because of his familarity with the show.
-
G
Makes a very good host!
-
G
I think that Ken Jennings has proven himself as co-host in a very positive and professional manner.He adds a freshness to the show and I enjoy watching him as he continues to get more comfortable taking on a huge responsibility. He is his own person and has proven that he is there to stand in his own shoes and never replace the iconic ones that stood there for many years. Let's give him a chance🙂
-
R
Both my husband and I have been very impressed with Ken Jennings hosting Jeapordy. He is very personal, and respectful of all players. He encourages all the players to win as well as he moves swiftly. A breath of fresh air to all those who likes achievements.
-
P
He is extremely awkward and seems distant even when attempting to joke.
-
O
Ken is a natural and has a wonderful demeanor.With his quick reading most board answers are completed in the alloted time.
-
R
Miss Alex but Ken is doing an excellent job ditto with Red elephant
-
C
I will continue to watch as long as KEN JENNINGS is the host.
-
C
Ken Jennings absolutely gets a thumbs up... Just keep Katie Couric far far away from this position thank you...
-
O
Ken is doing great. His “thank you Alex” is very real and touching. I would go right to him as permanent host. I like most of the folks you mentioned. I will not be watching when Oz hosts.
-
P
I love him. He's doing a wonderful job. Is respectful of Alex and his history of the job. I actually enjoy Ken's comments better. He's friendly and quick. I've watched the show since it's start .
-
R
I think he is,great considering the big shoes he is filling. Hope he gets the job full time.
-
R
I really like Ken Jennings. He should be the host.
I will not watch the show when Katie Couric is the guest host. Too political.
-
G
My wife and I have been watching the show for a long time and while we miss our beloved Alex, we are very pleased with Ken’s blossoming in the position as host.He is very likable, warm and super smart. He is so familiar with the contestants and knowledgeable about the subject matter ( after all he was a contestant himself on many occasions). We feel he does well with the show and would be happy to him as the host of “Jeopardy” on a permanent basis. Right now we think he could use a litter more levity now and-then to break the contestants tension.
-
P
Jennings has done an excellent job. Really was pleasantly surprised.
-
C
He is excellent and has my vote for permanent host.
-
R
I really like Ken. He's so intelligent, whitty without being inappropriate, stays on time and inacts really well with the contestants. I just don't see anyone who will compare as favorably. #chooseken! 🙏👏😊
-
O
Ken is doing an ok job but I would like to see other guest hosts that had more personality!
-
P
Keep Ken on permanently
-
O
If Ken gets the job, he needs to relax more, which hopefully he would in time. He talks to stiff and choppy. He does have a lot of experience with the show and how things work. He has that advantage over the other prospects.
-
C
Ken is doing a great job hosting Jeopardy. Would love to see him get it permanently.
Just needs to work a little on his interaction with constants so it doesnt sound scripted.
-
C
Ken is doing a great job on the show
-
C
Ken is super as a host, he was a little tentative in the first few shows, but has adjusted great. I won't watch when Couric or Guthrie are on, way to political for me, and Dr. Oz is a freak. Seems like they've scored a winner with Ken, like to see him stay as permanent host
-
C
Ken Jennings is doing a great job hosting. He is respectful to each contestant and moves the game along at a good pace.
I will not watch Katie C, Anderson C or "Dr" Oz when they host.
-
R
Jennings is perfect! I enjoy him especially because he gets through all the categories! We do not need a celebrity, especially a political one. I will not watch when Couric and Cooper host.
-
R
Ken is best host for Jeopardy. There is always a reminder of Alex when he is on. They had a connection and l think Alex would agree.
-
O
I like ken. I will not watch if Katie, Anderson or anyone else who project caustic political ideas are guest hosts. Alex never did that.
-
C
Ken does it constantly on Twitter.
-
-
C
Ken Jennings did a wonderful job! He would be great as the regular host of Jeopardy.
-
O
I think next to Alex Jennings is going to fit big shoes. I real enjoyed him. Good job
-
R
I think he's doing awesome considering the person's shoes he has to fill. He'll get more comfortable as time goes on. I think Alex would approve having him host.
-
P
I have been a faithful viewer for over 25 years but if Couric or Cooper are hosting I'm done. They are a disgrace to Alex and what he did. They do not deserve to sit in his chair.
-
P
Love Ken...he's doing a great job & should become the permanent host. So smart, sensitive, respectful & kind ...way to get Ken...you're such a class act!
-
O
He is doing an amazing job! It should not even be a question as to would be the best host! I feel he is the only choice!
-
B
My husband and I think that Jennings is doing a great job. Alex would be proud. He is not Alex and no one will be Alex. This was a huge role to fill. Good job Ken. Keep up the good work. You score high in our view.
-
G
I think he's doing a great job....for someone jumping into a high profile job like this....I think Alex would be so proud....I'd give him the job full time....if he would take it..👍👍👍👍
-
P
I think Ken has done an great job so far. I want pick any one until I see all the guest host.

O
I like Ken. I will not watch if Katie or Anderson are guest hosts or any other who are radically political.
-
C
Then you don’t want Ken!
-
-
P
I think he is great! Hope he gets the job full time
-
O
I feel Ken Jennings is doing a great job to be first after Alex’s passing isn’t easy he is aware of this position and is doing very fine as far as I can tell
-
O
Ken Jennings is a great host and I appreciate the respect he has for Alex Trebek after every show. Thank you Alex...
-
O
I think Ken Jennings is doing a super job.
-
B
I think he is a great host! He is intelligent and handles the show wonderfully!
-
G
Terrific for a brand-new host on Jeopardy- hope he becomes the next Alex.....!
-
G
I think Ken is doing great.He is so connected to Jeopardy and I think Alex woud want him to host the show.It makes sense.So Ken Jennings .Who is the host of Jeopardy
-
O
I really enjoy Ken as a host! I hope he is hired as full time. I have to say that I’m not thrilled with some of the upcoming guest hosts. I do know, if they are sub par, I won’t watch the show. Ken has the ability to make the show flow🤗
-
B
I feel he has done a very solid job. He is getting looser at the helm as each show goes by. One month is not enough time to give up him. And I agree with who said no way to Couric or Anderson.
-
O
Good job so far. I hope he gets the full time position. I will not watch Anderson nor Katie do to their political bias, sorry.
-
O
I think he is doing a great job! Very personable with the players and I haven’t noticed any problems at all reading the answers or questions. He has enthusiasm and I like his sense of humor. He totally respects the game and it’s history also.
-
G
I truly feel that Alex is saying
"YES" your doing me proud.
He is quick witted, pronounces fantasticly and has stepped in and made the loss a tiny bit easier. His thankfullness & genuine personality Thanking Alex after each program shows the class he brings to Jeopardy.
I hope the Producer etc. think long and hard when choosing the final host. There are a lot of Seniors who watch & my friends convey my same words.
Looking forward to Ken carrying the Jeopardy legacy.❤
-
O
I think Ken is doing a great job. Smooth transition and he had huge shoes to fill. I think he's a much better choice that the other candidates. Nice unassuming guy like Trebek always was.
-
P
Ken did a very good job in imitating Alex Trebek in his performance instead of bringing his own personality touch to the show.RGA
-
B
Ken is great in his role on Jeopardy. He should be the permanent host. HE HAS EARNED AND DESERVED THIS!!!
-
C
Watch with my mother every night and think Ken has done a fabulous job but will NOT watch if Katie Couric OR Anderson Cooper host.
-
C
I think Ken did an outy job right from the get go. He really shows respect for the show and he is quite intelligent. I don't think they have to look for a host, they already have him. Good luck Ken.
-
G
Ken is the right choice. There is no one better!
-
C
Happy with Ken he is non-political. Won’t watch with any of the others as all are political
-
G
he is very political. From Twitter: Three years later, he reportedly wrote that an “awful MAGA grandma” mourning her deceased son was “his favorite person on Twitter.”
Only one example. Many others if you can find them since they’ve been deleted.
-
-
G
I think Ken Jennings has done an amazing job. We all know that our beloved Alex can never be replaced but Ken has been operating on all cylinders a guest host. As for the rest, how the heck did "Dr" Oz get on the list? I hope Ken Jennings accepts this job if offered.
-
G
I think he is doing a great job!! Not easy to step in Alex's shoes, I think he would be proud.
-
G
Both my sister and I think he is doing great. We watch all the time, and think he is doing a wonderful job, especially engaging with contestants. As Alex would say..." good for you!"
-
O
Love Ken as host. Have watched him grow more at ease with each show. Alex would be pleased.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings has done a wonderful job. He is very considerate of his guests. He gets mine & my husband's vote.
-
C
What's the saying, if it's not broken, WHY fix it. Ken is doing a great job. Don't need to put anyone else on the show. He keeps the flow of the show moving and is great with the contestants. He has humility like Alex. He doesn't make the show about himself. He's a keeper 🤗
-
G
Ken is doing an outstanding job. Wish other celebrities weren't lined up as there is no need to disrubt the way Ken has fit right into this almost impossible role. Way to go Ken, you have my vote.
-
G
Keep looking
-
G
I want Ken to keep hosting!
-
G
Ken is doing a great job. Going to always miss Alex, but really impressed with Ken.
-
O
Keep Ken
Doing a great job
-
B
He was great. He knows the show better than any other guest host would.
-
C
Ken doing well! Will not watch with Anderson's Cooper or Katie Couric! To Political...Hopefully Ken will be the permanent host.
-
G
Ken did a great job being a guest host on Jeopardy! I hope he can be the new Jeopardy host. Great job Ken!!!!
-
O
He's fitting in well. He has gotten more comfortable in the role with his week plus of experience. He is comfortable and believable with the topics, questions, and answers. I think he could be a nice fit as Alex's replacement.
-
G
Ken Jennings is doing a great job as host of jeopardy.Will never be another alex ,but ken maybe the closest one to replace him.
-
O
Doing great job. Will not watch if any of the others are picked. No politics welcome. This program is my diversion.from all the junk going on.
-
P
I agree fully with the comment from WMK, below. Ken is friendly, respectful and professional. There is a sense of closeness to Alex that can't be bought.
-
O
Absolutely the one we want to see hosting the show in my household ,,love Ken
-
O
I think he is great. Don't like other choices
-
P
Ken has done an excellent job despite having very big shoes to fill given the loss of Alex Trebek.
Ken is intelligent, witty, respectful & well-respected. There is no need for overrated & overcompensated guest hosts like Dr. Oz, Couric, Cooper - you have already found your Jeopardy host and he is Ken Jennings. Go Ken!
-
G
We absolutely love Ken as the guest host. The first show he was a little stiff, but he has grown every show and we don’t miss an episode.
Honestly not looking forward to the upcoming guests- Ken is the perfect fit and Alex is looking down and I’m sure will be pleased to see him carry on the show!
-
O
I like him a n d so did my family.
-
O
Hope Ken will be permanent host. He fits so well. Do not care for Couric at all. Why would you have her at all? Don't care for others either. Only Ken Jennings.
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing great
-
O
I think Ken Jennings did a fantastic job and should be put on permanently. I will not watch Anderson Cooper or Katie couric when they are on and if either one of them becomes permanent I will not watch Jeopardy ever again. So do yourself a favor and put Ken Jennings in permanently.

Ken Jennings has checked all the boxes in his tour of Jeopardy host. His intelligence, wit, annunciation, pronunciation, and humility have made him fun to watch. Your cast of temporary host is interesting but please limit their appearances to 1 week. In the case of your toxic political guest 1 day would be more than sufficient. You have found your perfect match
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing a great job & you need not look any further. He is definitely the most qualified with Jeopardy over and above any of the other proposed guest hosts.
-
G
Ken has been doing an exemplary job as host of Jeopardy. I wish he could keep the job permanently.
-
R
I think he did a great job. It is not easy trying to fill Alex's shoes. We see enough tv of the other guest hosts named in upcoming episodes. Give the job to Ken Jennings.
-
O
I dont like and wont watch Anderson cooper or mayim. Ken talks to fast but does ok.
-
R
I thought Ken did a great job. Alex would have loved what a good job he did. Keep him permanently.
-
C
Ken is doing well and his pace and rhythm are improving. More importantly, his credibility as a Jeopardy! Guru makes him instantly believable, in that he probably knows the categories and questions. The other people named would be like substitute teachers trying to learn the material while standing in front of the class.
-
R
I agree with everything WMK has noted. Ken seems to be the perfect choice and can't imagine anyone else matching what he brings...a perfect balance between respect, wit and humor. He's not turning the show into a circus with too much humor or too boring with someone who doesnt know where and when to let loose. Perfect IQ for this perfect show. Please make Ken the permanent host.
-
G
Ken’s is the only person that can say “thank you Alex” with genuine raw emotion at the end of the show.
-
O
In my opinion,Ken Jennings is fit to be the new host of Jeopardy .Alex and Ken had a bond .Ken does a tremendous job as the host. And with that said I say Thank you,Alex as well. 🤗😊
-
P
I really like Ken and his experience as one of the GOAT Jeopardy contestants gives him a credibility that no other host would ever have.
-
G
I thought Ken Jennings was great after the first initial nervousness. I hope he is the permanent host. I will not be watching Anderson Cooper, Katie Curic, or Savannah Gutherie.
-
O
I vote Ken. He is face of Jeopardy! Others have too many other faces.
-
O
No one will fill Trebek's shoes and Ken acknowledges that. I think he's doing a respectful job. Some of their other choices I will NOT watch. Katie Curic , Anderson Cooper and there is talk of Dr. Oz. NO WAY!
-
G
I like him. He's the perfect dork for the job
-
P
Great choice. Needs time to work his presence but Alex did too. Ken is perfect nerd for nerdy show.
-
R
I think he is doing very well!!
-
G
He doesnt have the gravitas, looks or voice of Alex. He's pretty quick on his feet and brilliant tho, which goes a long way. Seems to be finding his stride. Lots to like about him but doesnt excite me one stinkin bit (Nor do any of the other prospects) What happened to the 2 Alex suggested? I had read up on them and they sounded great. HOW could they possibly have overlooked them?
-
G
Ken is great, of course you cannot replace Alex but Ken has done a fine job.
-
C
Ken is the best great personality and very respectful of the show and the contestants. He should be permanent host
-
G
I feel Ken has really grown into the job. He is nice to everyone, and an exceptional interviewer. He seems to care what the contesttanrs have to say.
-
B
I think Ken Jennings is more than worthy of hosting Jeopardy
-
G
Huge shoes to fill and he did a fabulous job at touching the surface of those shoes...he is respectful and of course mucho intelligent, and I think that given the chance to host permanently, he will melt into the role and show us different things in his personality as time goes by. A nod to Alex at the end always gives me a lump in my throat...
-
G
Forget the Rest . Keep Ken he is the Best.
-
G
I was very much surprised how well Ken did, the others just don't have it, especially Savannah Guthrie, she's got that voice that makes dogs 😭
-
G
Ken is doing a great job
Will not watch if Katie Couric is on.
-
R
Kim is doing a good job. But, I personally think oh, he is a good bit too crisp and short in his speech
-
P
I agree! Ken is good 👍
-
B
Wasn't that crazy about him as a contestant ( seemed dull ) , but great as host ! Very personable and most important , doesn't act like the show's about him but lets each contestant be the star , like Alex always did !
-
C
Ken is doing a great job. He's upbeat, fast on his responses, good tone on wrong answers, & good repore when talking about contestant's lives. I really like him.
-
O
I think Leslie Jones or Steve Harvey would be much better hosts for Jeopardy.
-
O
Ken Jennings is a keeper! He is a great fit. Very comfortable in the role as host. I hope he stays
-
R
He's trying but very dull. Not much charisma. His intelligence does not make up for his lack of personality.
-
O
I think he does a great job. They should keep him as host. He learned a lot from Alex.
-
O
I vote for Ken now. He's been excellent!
-
C
His doing a great job..He's clear and and personable...Although I miss Alex's deep voice.....He's not Alex...Anyone trying to fill Alex's shoes will not be received with open arms...The network is doing it smart with the mutiplmultiple hosts....It will give us all time to get used to someone other than Alex Trebek.

I think Ken is doing a great job, but like Alex always said, he was the host and not the star of the show. I would almost be inclined to be in the “don’t care” category because I love the show. As long as the host isn’t a total dipstick, I don’t care who it is, but I would like to see Ken get the full time gig.
-
B
Love him
-
R
He has been very respectful of the position he has taken for Mr. Trebek. He handles the program perfectly. With his knowledge and experience he is perfect for this.
-
G
I think he is Great.

I think Ken is doing a phenomenal job on Jeopardy ! Alex would be sooo proud , he should be the new host! Yes he’s bound to be awkward, as he’s never done this before ! Keep up the good work Ken!!

Ken is great on the show.
-
O
Mr Jennings is doing a phenomenal job 👏👏. He had practically slid into the role quite effortlessly and, I WISH...he would have the job permanently. To be fair, I guess, other celebrity guest hosts should be given a chance but, 🤞🤞he gets the job.
-
B
Not going to watch it with the other hosts
-
O
Alex was loved. Anyone short of Alex will not be welcome right away.
Overall, ken doing a great job considering the circumstance
-
O
Ken is doing a spectacular job. Love watching him. Keep him as permanent host.
-
P
I think he is doing great. It takes getting use to for anyone .
-
O
I really like him doing a fantastic job!!!!!
-
O
I think Ken had a rough start, but is now feeling more comfortable in the role. He is beginning to feel that he belongs there. He was my choice for the spot.
-
O
We need a Male to be in the empty spot, because it's a difficult position to replace Alec. Thats not possible, but a female just won't fill the bill. Ken has been during a very good job and respecting Alec as he does the job. Be picky when finding the replacement.
-
O
I think Ken Jennings should stay. He's done a fine job so far. Carries himself very well. Respects Alex trebek at the end of every show. That means a lot to me.
I'm sure it does to others as well.
-
O
Ken is doing a great job. I think he will get even better as he becomes more comfortable with the job. It's an emotional experience to fill Alex's shoes.
-
G
He does alright. An impossible role to fill after Alex Trebek. Looking forward to the other hosts.
-
O
Ken did a fantastic job. Forget the other guest hosts, just keep him!
-
R
Ken is doing ok. He was quite awkward that first week but that is to be expected. I miss the sound of Alex's rich melodious voice. Ken us a good sport when the players poke fun at him, and doesn't get snippy. I would give him a solid B+ or maybe an A-.
-
R
Ken is doing a fantastic job. The first week was a little weak. But he's gotten into it perfectly. His responses to contestant's answers are varied and to the point. His intonations are varied and makes the presentation very enjoyable. Who would have thought on his first contestant appearance that he'd win all those games and one day be on the other side giving the answers.
-
P
He tries to be a clone of Alex. Every little move. Just be yourself!!!!
-
R
I think Jennings is doing great. I bet Trebek was a little nervous too when he started forever ago!! There will never be another Trebek so why compare. Jennings does a fine job and can be understood is pleasant and respectful! What more can you ask for?
-
O
TEAM KEN!!
-
P
Very good. A bit nervous at first but after he got over that he did great. He had great interaction with the contesents. After initial case of nerves it was like he had been doing it foever.
-
G
Ken is doing a terrific job. They can forget the rest of the guest hosts.
-
G
Ken is doing a great job of hosting, he should be made permanent.
-
C
Ken should be the one to get the spot. He is doing a great job. I wait until the very end when Ken says "Thank you Alex".Then I get all choked up.
-
R
He's done a great job! We'd like him to be the permanent host!
-
O
I am pleasantly surprised. I had had the impression of him being arrogant but he’s very polite and fits well in the role. I loved when he said “ thanks , Alex”
-
G
I like Ken Jennings...it will take time for him to feel completely comfortable in the job, but think he will be great at it.
-
P
I think Ken Jennings did a fantastic job and should become the permanent replacement for Alex.
-
O
We think he's doing a great job.....hope he becomes regular host.
-
B
Ken Jennings is excellent, you will not find a better host.
-
O
Absolutely not. What about Levar Burton. He’s reputable and has a much better voice than Jennings.
-
B
Great job by Ken, I wish he would be the permanent replacement.
-
R
Love Ken Jennings! Was hoping he would be considered. He is doing a great job! Believe he has shown the ability to calm and encourage contestants because he's been in their shoes. He's a keeper! Don't want to see anyone else.
-
B
Ken is doing a good i think. He seems very sincere.
-
G
Ken is doing a fine job !
-
B
Ken Jennings is a Shoe in, he is Great !
-
G
Alex would be proud. Ken did an excellent job. I hope they make him the permanent host.
-
G
Ken is doing a spectacular job. He fits in perfectly. He's humbled to be where Alex once stood for so many years. I love Ken Jennings!!
-
B
Ken has made a seamless transition. He's doing great. As for the politics of the other slated guest hosts, do you watch Wheel of Fortune? The clown that hosts that show is a political whack job that supports a traitor. Its funny how right wing extremists can host shows but slightly left of center hosts get judged on their politics.
-
P
Jennings is doing incredibly well, I think! He obviously knows the game very well, so he can be quick and agile, serious and fun. So much like Alex in a way, because if you think about it Jennings is probably had the most hands on experience with the show other than the producers and writers. He never stumbles, he gives good quick little quips in between, and seems genuinely interested in the contestants. And loving his memories of and thanks to Alex.
Go Ken! He's the only one for the job in my mind
-
O
It's where he needs to be.
-
B
Ken Jennings did a great job! I loved how he challenged the contestants about taking a chance at double jeopardies. I'm sure Alex is smiling in the heavens and proud of Ken. I give Ken a 100% thumbs up!
-
O
I think he does a wonderful job! He definitely should be the next host!! Alex Trebek has to be smiling down on Ken from Heaven!!
-
R
Great job
-
P
I think he's doing a great job and will get more comfortable with time. I totally agree with all of WMK's comments--Ken is the obvious choice for long-time host!
-
O
I like him....Alex is looking down from heaven and saying way to go kiddo♥️ He should be a permanent replacement...All though there will never be a Alex ever...💔 Jen has my vote by far.... And the saying each night when Ken says Thank you Alex💔 it bring nothing but happiness to my heat.Ken is definitely a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ man... Alex is proud Ken Jennings ♥️
-
G
Ken is great, keep him. No need for the others.
-
G
He is part of jepordy past and has moved smoothly into the position. Ken is doing a good job and will improve as time goes on. I think you found your replacement and Alex would approve.
Thank you Alex🌹
-
G
I think you should just let Ken become the regular host. He's good at it and can grow into it just like Alex did. After all Alex did train him. Why go thru multiple host.
-
C
Its as though Alex picked him long ago hes the perfect fit. Smart ,well read, darling personality, with each show hes more comfortable. What better choice than someone who had a great relationship with Alex.Theres a reason he was first hes the Best choice. America loves Ken
-
O
He did a great job, I will not watch it with Katie, Anderson, or Greg,
-
B
I know that nobody can replace Alex so I'm not sure if I will approve, 100%, of anyone. Ken is doing a pretty good job but it's just the way he says "no" when a contestant answers incorrectly. It seems like he wants to say "no, stupid dummy" that's just my opinion.
-
G
Ken's doing a wonderful job. No one can replace Alex and Ken gets that, he simply wants to keep the show Alex loved going. He is keeping it about the contestants, I think Alex would be proud.
-
P
Ken is a great host and, as a viewer of many years, I believe he should be promoted to permanent host. Good job and good luck, Ken!
-
P
I think he is the best and great I hope you keep him because he’s doing a great job. I love to listen to him read. He’s just awesome. I hope you don’t get anyone else. Because it won’t be the same.
-
P
Ken is doing a fantastic job. I know Alex is looking down thinking job well done. He should be given the opportunity to host full time.
-
R
Ken for the win. He's a natural
-
P
I was fully prepared to dislike Ken Jennings as the guest host of Jeopardy but he has totally won me over. Of course he is no Alex but the fact that he pays homage to Alex at the close of each show is totally endearing.
-
B
I don't really like Ken, he's pretty one dimensional. I've stopped watching because of him, may watch other guest hosts to find one I like.
-
B
I must say, I didn't want to like him (because no one can replace Alex) but he's doing a great job. 👍🏼
-
P
I think he is doing an awesome job and should just go on and take over the show permanently
-
C
I think Ken has been getting better as time goes on - I'm sure he was nervous taking over from Alex. Just my two cents, but I think Neil DeGrasse Tyson would make a fantastic Jeopardy host!!
-
O
He's doing great!
-
P
I will not be watching when Katie, Anderson and Savannah guest host . I rather watch cartoons at least they are real......
-
P
He’s doing a great job. Give him time to get comfortable and enjoy the show.
-
O
He’s great
-
R
I think he is doing a great job and as far as I am concerned, they can give him the host job right now. Like Alex, he has class.
-
C
What a hard act to follow; it couldn’t have been easy but bravo Me. Jennings. Your doing great!!
-
O
I enjoyed Ken being on the show but no one can take the place of Alex
-
C
Yes for Ken !
-
C
Ken is doing a great job. Carrying on all the best traditions of Alex Trebek.
-
O
Keep him!!!!
-
B
Ken’s an excellent choice.
-
C
Well done Ken. I am on team Ken.
-
P
I think Ken is a perfect replacement! No one can ever beat Alex but can is a close second and should be considered for the permanent position!
-
G
He’s getting better by the minute! He’s doing a great job. 👍👍
-
G
If he stays, Jeopardy will be exiled in my home because his voice is like Rebecca Black's Friday song was for so many people, makes your ears just bleed.
-
C
Ken has done great! He would be a wonderful permanent host!

B
Ken is the best qualified person to continue as host . He is witty , charming and knowledgeable .

I think he is great. Alex would be proud. Keep him on he is a winner

Ken is doing a great job hosting. Definitely won’t watch if Katie Couric hosts after her deprogramming comment
-
O
Doing a fine job! Keep him!

P
I think Ken is a natural and feel he is very much like Alex
He would be great as permanent host following in Trebeck
Tradition
-
P
He did great considering the shoes he had to fill. Give it to him permantently
-
O
I think he’s doing great. I won’t watch when Couric does it and I’ve been watching for 40 years
-
O
Just LOVE Jennings!!! Hes done an amazing job, and I think Alex would think so too. Plz ask him to stay on! Hes refreshing to watch!!!
-

I like Ken Jennings a lot. He talks a little bit too fast. But he’s new. Love to see him take the full-time job my husband totally agrees
-
O
I like ken!
-
G
Ken is the perfect man for the job!
-
R
Technically a good job, just doesn't possess the deep, resonant voice of Alex Trebek.
-
G
Great job!we think Ken fits in very well, Alex would be pleased
-
C
I think Ken has done a great job and would like to see him stay!
-
G
Love Ken as host, he has done a great job!

C
I think he is doing a GREAT job. I vote we keep him.
-
C
Ken Jennings your doing a wonderful job as guest host! Smooth transistion from the great Alec Trebeck to you.
Continued success. Xo
-
G
Ken had big shoes to fill. I think he is doing a fantastic job. Let’s face it there will never be a match for Alex, but Ken will make it his own and eventually he could be just as good.
-
R
I don't know how anyone else could do as good a job as host of Jeopardy as Ken Jennings is showing. He is an Alex replacement natural!
-
O
Ken did a great job!! Please keep him. Alex wanted him to and Ken shows so much respect to the challengers!
We don’t need ANY change at this point!
Bravo Ken!

I think he’s great! Very professional and nice mannerisms

Ken got better as he got more comfortable. He did a great job!!

A little awkward in the beginning. However, he's done very well. I think he should be made permanent.

Very very well done Ken.Jeoparty is in very good hands.Alex would be very proud I think

While Ken took a bit to get adjusted to the role he now seems to have come into his own and eventually develop his own style.

Ken is doing an awesome job.. so enjoying the show.. please keep him the host!! I can’t see anyone doing any better than what he is doing and I bet Alex is proud of him!!

He’s doing a fabulous job.

O
He has grown on me! I think he’s doing well!
-
G
I feel Ken is a wonderful replacement on Jeopardy!
-
B
He's doing well at relaxing and taking control. I like that he is not an entertainer. He is a tried and true trivia expert.
-
B
Doing a fine job..thank you alex

I like Ken Jennings very much. The other guests seem very lame. I think Ken eill always be the best choice. He got better every day.

Ken is doing a good job. Alex is smiling in Heaven.

Absolutely no need to look any further. Ken does an amazing job and in the same style as Alex

No need to look further. Ken is the correct fit and will only get sharper and sharper over time.

Well done, Ken. Alex would be proud!

He is doing really well as guest host.

Jennings is a perfect fit. No need to look for anybody else.

Must watch all the others before making a decision but if Ken were to be your choice it wouldn’t be a bad pick.
-
O
I personally do not need to see any other "guest hosts". Ken's got my vote, hands down!!!
-
O
I do not like Jennings. He talks to much. Alex at least all the time new what he was saying a no for me. I will not watch kenning
-
P
He is great. Just as Alex thought he would be. No one can fully replace Alex and forget about Katy
-
G
Started out ok, but now a STRONG home run!
-
O
He is doing a great job without missing a beat!
-
O
Ken is your guy, seamless transition. He’s been 100% spot on. Oh and btw, Couric, Cooper, Gupta, Oz will absolutely ruin this bridge you’ve built with those of us who have zero interest in seeing these state run media soldiers on your program...or is it ‘de-program’...Ken IS your guy.
-
O
We feel that Ken is doing an amazing job. No one will ever replace Alex but Ken is GREAT!
-
R
My husband and I think that Ken Jennings is doing a great job as guest host. Katie Couric? Absolutely not. Savannah Guthrie? Even worse. Dr Oz? A snake oil salesman for sure. Please stick with Ken!!
-
C
What is a thumb-apostrophe-s up?
-
C
I think he's ok. The timbre of his voice is not as pleasant.
-
G
Ken Jennings has hosted the show with a winning personality, quite knowledgeable in the game and how to be a great host. In the weeks he’s been hosting he has become more comfortable and at ease and it’s been great watching him. He should be made the permanent Jeopardy host. He’s been awesome.
-
O
Totally agree. Our family and many others will stop watching when Couric or any some of the other hosts take their turn.

I can’t believe the producers would lower the standard of Jeopardy to allow Samatha, Katie or Anderson to host this intelligent and informative game. Ken loves this game and Alex would be proud if he became the host.

How can you "CLAIM" that you're NOT going to watch when KC or AC get to host when you've NEVER seen them ACTUALLY HOST a gameshow? They MAY actually conduct themselves in a proper manner. You're making this political, you're biased, or you're commenting something based on what you've seen in the past as far as their behavior.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, & YOU'RE GOING BY THAT LOGIC, Ken SHOULDN'T HOST; because, he has said RACIST things in the past, so did you NOT know? Do you have SELECTIVE AMNESIA? or Do you have some other VAGUE, SHALLOW, or HYPOCRITICAL reason? Since we're being honest, NOBODY, I DO MEAN NOBODY CAN TAKE ALEX'S PLACE, but, it will NOT STOP ME FROM WATCHING, KNOWING THAT KEN SAID THAT.
Here's the last thing to ponder, do you actually THINK FOR A SECOND THAT YOU NOT WATCHING WILL AFFECT Neilson's RATINGS? I SURE HOPE YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.
Grow up, A REAL JEOPARDY FAN WOULD WATCH REGARDLESS, SUPPORT IS SUPPORT. WE'RE LIVING IN PERILOUS TIMES, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO HOSTS THE SHOW, JEOPARDY IS A GOOD GAMESHOW, & A BRIGHT SPOT IN THIS DARK WORLD.

If enough of us refuse to watch, it will affect the Neilson ratings. Basically it's a boycott.

Of course not watching will affect the ratings. Think about the demographics of the show’s fans. We don’t appreciate a news reader telling is we need to be re-educated.

Agreed ... I would not want to watch Chipmunk Couric or some Hollywood airhead. Ken is well known for his success on Jeopardy, he’s like a part of the fabric of the show and it’s difficult to think about the show without recalling his performance when he played. Every time I watch, I wonder if each new player will be the one to replace him as the champ. If they replace him with the likes of Couric, I’ll stop watching. Missing Alex is hard .., having a familiar face helps.

Agreed

I AGREE! I haven't always watched Jeopardy and then would watch it sporadically.. then started watching more regularly yet not exactly every day, but since Alex Trebek passed away I started watching every day because I wanted to see his final shows and was very impacted and sad to see him leave us! Since then I have been watching every day (made me feel close to Alex and keep his memory alive) and have enjoyed it with solace, having Ken Jennings as the host. It somehow brought comfort and helped the show to go on seamlessly and less painfully, in my opinion and experience. Thank you so much for giving Ken the tremendous opportunity, it has made all the difference!!

It is my opinion that Ken Jennings would be the perfect host for Jeopardy. While no one can replace Alex Trabek, Ken Jennings fits the bill. It would be a distraction for a newscaster to host because they’ve been so vocal about their politics. An actor, athlete etc. is just wrong to stand in Alex Trabek’s shoes. Ken did an excellent job guest hosting. Jeopardy is my favorite TV show and I absolutely adored Alex as host. It is beyond sad for him to be gone. He made it clear that he wanted the show to go on. Ken really made me feel comfortable watching him guest host after Alex Trabek passed on. I wasn’t sure I could continue to watch the show. I was so glad it was Ken Jennings guest hosting and hope beyond hope that you announce him (sooner than later) as Jeopardy’s permanent host.

Loved Ken Jennings as host. It took him a little time to get in the rhythm but he got it and became very comfortable with the clues and the contestants. He was very sincere and his dedication to Alex and the game was evident.
1
-
B
First, NO ONE will ever “replace” the wonderful Alex Trebek. BUT, Ken was very good. I was pleased with him in the role, and I think he did well relating with the guests and made them feel comfortable. I think he should be the permanent host. The prospective hosts are WAY more doubious. Aaron Rodgers? Katie Couric? Really?
1

G
too stiff, not relaxed Not a good fit for Jeopardy

Keep Ken. He is more sincere and approachable. Mike is way to corporate. He seems like he tolerates people instead of connecting with them.

We will have no other than our Alex! Thank you Ken! You have it! Ken the next best thing to Alex!

The weeks that that Oz guy hosts, I will not be watching nor will many thousands. He is against the Gay community and let’s it be known

I hope you pick Ken Jennings. I can't imagine any one else to fill the late great Alex. My husband and I will not be watching when Katie Couric has her turn.
1

P
We were a little anxious about how well Ken Jennings would do but, he won us over after watching him for week. He’s got a flair for composure, appearance and connection with participants. He has an uncanny way of bringing in as much panache to the show as Alex did. He’s already proven to be a seamless permanent host of the show as Alex could never be “replaced”. Ken is a super choice and a definite tribute to Alex.
1
-
R
I vote for Ken Jennings. The ratings should tell the producers all they need to know. The longer they take in making a decision might be what will result in diminished viewership.
1

P
I thought Ken did a great Job! He's a natural!
1
-
G
I was so excited to see Ken Jennings step in as the host of Jeopardy. I had no idea it was temporary. He has class, humor and he hosts as though he is a veteran of game show hosting. Celebrity hosts sounds like an attempt to attract more viewers. Steps must be taken to make Ken Jennings the permanent host.
1

R
Ken did amazing as the host of Jeopardy. He's a pro in every regard. Hire him as Alex's permanent replacement!

Bring Ken Jennings back. He did a very good job and he reminds us of Mr. Trebek.

P
Yes to Ken. I don’t want anyone else, frankly.
1

O
Keep Ken!! All of the others listed are not of his caliber. Won’t watch Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Savannah Guthrie, Dr. Oz and others. I suspect the show will loose viewship with all of these “news” oriented people that are so politically biased and controversial. That is not what this show is about. Alex would not be happy. Sorry to see this happen. Keep Ken. He has been there and understands the dynamics of the show.

He is Jeopardy material!! We don’t need a journalist or TV star. He did great!

I believe Ken has come a long way. We all start a new job and slowly work our way to become the best we can be. Given the opportunity to become the "permanent" host, Ken Jennings will become the best choice.

My husband and I think Ken Jennings was phenomenal and he’s the logical heir. We aren’t interested in anybody else and you should stop wasting your time and ours with others. Just sign Ken Jennings already

He is doing a awesome job and needs to stay the host. The other people don’t fit in as a game show host. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Please let him stay!

Ken Jennings is doing a super job. I think Alex would be very proud of him and how he has carried on the integrity of the show.

Ken Jennings is the obvious choice as the new permanent host of Jeopardy!! Although nobody can ever replace our beloved host Alex Trebek, Ken Jennings is the perfect fit!! I remember on one occasion when Alex was introducing Ken Jennings as a new addition to the Jeopardy family, Alex mentioned how good Ken Jennings was doing reading the clues on a category featuring Ken Jennings as the narrator. Ken Jennings' eloquent way of transitioning into the very difficult and emotional position as the first guest host of Jeopardy after the passing of the iconic and irreplaceable Alex Trebek has been seamless despite the sadness. Ken Jennings thanking Alex after each episode airs is very heartwarming and keeps Alex Trebek's memories alive for everyone!! My family have been fans and watching Jeopardy for over 35 years!! Watching Jeopardy is part of our family tradition and will continue to be. Please chose Ken Jennings as the permanent host of Jeopardy!! Although Alex Trebek can never be replaced, Ken Jennings is honored and very humbled by his opportunity to become hopefully the new and permanent host of Jeopardy!! Thank you Alex!! RIP Mr. Alex Trebek 😢🙏

He is not a tv personality but is remarkable in his ability to host. Alex would be proud!

O
He has made me a fan! I started off thinking Ken would not be a good permanent host but he has changed my mind. I think he is the ONLY one now. You can tell that he loves the game, respects the game, knows it, gets so excited and continues to keep the contestants as the stars. I really like him and hope he stays on.

I think Ken is fantastic. He is personable, kind, and wittier than even our beloved Alex. His demeanor with guests is perfectly hospitable and collegial. I'll be extremely disappointed if the powers that be decide to give this gig to another celebrity.

C
It was just hard to watch anyone in those shoes for the first time. But I give Jennings 5 stars- thats who Id vote for as the next regular host! PS i hate Katie Couric Ugh.
1

R
Ken is proving to be such a natural at this, why tamper with success? Let’s leave (more than) well enough alone! Rather than possibly risk ruining it with less experienced guest hosts, lets just make Ken the official new host now and move on. You know what they say about too many cooks…
1
-
P
Forget the lame "celebrity" guest hosts and #KEEPKEN. He is knowledgeable and adds a nice touch in much the same way Alex did. This guy loved Alex and it's noticeable in the way he runs the show with respect and a nod to Alex but every day making it a little more his own. I have never been a big Ken Jennings fan, but I'm a convert. He deserves this spot unlike some of the names I've heard raised to take over for Alex.
1
-
B
Ken is doing a fantastic job! I don't think Any of your other up coming “guest host should be considered for the position of host if thats your plan. We don't need a celebrity has been! If you don’t go with Ken then look for someone that is completely not a past celebrity. There is kabillions of people out there find one thats awesome and go with those type of guest tryout. Alex needs someone to replace him with honer not some celebrity wanna be! It should be Ken or someone completely unknown. Is Mike Richards trying out? Ken first then Mike or someone totally different!!!
1
-
O
I was planning on not liking Ken Jennings because who could actually replace Alex. I immediately felt comforted by his presence because his first week of shows were such an homage to his mentor. I think he has grown into his role so well that it seems like a son taking over his father’s business. I truly hope he returns as the permanent host

I love Ken Jennings. He needs to be the permanent host.
1

O
Ken should be host.

R
I was skeptical at first but I think he is doing a great job!
1
-
R
I AGREE! Ken Jennings is doing a superb job as host of Jeopardy! Alex is missed, bit he would be proud of Ken and delighted for Ken to take his place.
1
-
C
Ken has my total vote!
He has melded well into the host mold.
Let's keep him in the spotlight!
1
-
G
Ken Jennings is excellent: A pleasant surprise. Articulate, humble, appropriately humorous, natural. I don’t like any of the upcoming guest hosts such as Anderson Cooper Dr. Oz, Katie Couric. They’ll have massive ego’s which will detract from the actual play of the game. I am already tired of all of them. Keep Ken Jennings.
1
-
B
Ken is going a great job! Love that he is a champion and a true fan!! Also love that he is not a political hack ! Just love the game!!!
1
-
B
Ken is doing a great job! He was a little awkward at first, but has settled in very nicely. We don’t need doodah guest hosts. Personally, I doubt we’ll watch the frivolous hosts. Keep Ken!!!
1
-
P
Jennings is endearing and is doing Alex proud, I'm sure. If he wants the job, it would be a shame to lose him, as he carries so much history and love for Jeopardy, and the fans love him back. Nobody is perfect and I hope producers don't let cancel culture dummies (re Twitter jokes that fell flat) sour his great work on the show and beautiful tribute to Alex Trebek.
1
-
B
I like Ken Jennings he get better with each show!
1
-
C
Ken is doing a great job. He gets better with every episode. We will always miss Alex but Ken is making a great showing! Hope they keep him.
1
-
O
Ken Jennings is doing a great job filling in for Alex Trebek! It couldn’t have been easy for him, but he has risen to the occasion & gotten more relaxed as the weeks have gone by. I vote to choose Ken Jennings to be the permanent host of Jeopardy!
1
-
O
I think Ken is a super job. He was a little shaky for a few day but, fell into his own style and is now very comfortable in the role of host. The others that are being considered for the job are fine actors and host of other shows, Ken is a breath of fresh air and Alex, I think would have been very proud if Ken took over as Jeopardy’s new host.
1
-
P
I think Ken Jennings is great. I think he will become more natural as time goes by. I am sure it was EXTREMELY stressful to take the place of a beloved 30 year host. . . . Not to mention they were also friends. Keep on Ken!!
1
-
B
Ken Jennings has done an excellent job! He should be given the job permanently. He’s getting better with each episode.
1
-
G
I totally agree with Ruth !! Alex was the Best, but Kens doing an awesome job !! Each episode he gets better and better and he’s get more and more at home !!
1
-
O
Ken Jennings is a believable host. Keep him permanently please.
1
-
G
When they started with Ken who, believed that nobody would like as a host, he was very wrong. Ken Jennings has be doing an awesome job. Ken is our man, he will fill Alex shoes very well. Keep him on, I can’t wait to see him host the show everyday.
1
-
R
I think he’s great. I love him.
1
-
G
He’s the one! Cancel the other guest hosts!
1
-
O
I miss Alex but the show goes on. Ken Jennings had big shoes to step into and he he doing a terrific job.
1
-
R
II thought he did a great job
1
-
O
I like Ken. Wasn’t sure at beginning but now. Really like him. Like his interaction with quests and response to answers. Looking at list of future hosts none excite me. Like Ken!
1
-
B
Great job, Ken. Quick witted but very humble. Not trying to be Alex Trebeck but is making it his own. Out of all potential hosts, there is no better choice.
1
-
G
Keep him
1
-
P
I think Ken is doing a great job as host. He's already well-known after being on the show so much. It's hard to think of anyone other than Alex hosting the show, but since he is gone I think Ken would be a very good replacement. He has done really well so far. I hope they make him the permanent host. The other guest hosts that they have signed up already have something they're involved in. We need a fresh start in Jeopardy and I believe Ken will give us that.
1
-
C
I really like Ken and think he’s doing a great job!!
1
-
G
Keep Ken Jennings
1
-
O
KEN IS THE BEST
ALEX WOULD AGREE
1
-
P
Yes I think Ken should stay as host, he's very intelligent, likeable and witty and looks very comfortable now he's been on for a few weeks. I loved Alex and miss him.
1
-
O
I predicted Ken as the new host and I believe he is the perfect fit to take over permanently as host. Don’t even want to see the other choices and really don’t believe a female host will work for this show. Offer him the job permanently please
1
-
O
He's doing fairly well. I find his lisp a bit distracting, however. And he has a bit of a rasp to his voice so it doesn't have the clarity that I would like. As time goes on, he is getting more relaxed and conversational and that is good. Some may think my comments about his voice are nitpicking, but when your job is speaking, it matters.
1
-
R
I have watched this show for years and had the highest respect & appreciation for Alex so I am pleasantly surprised how quickly and easily my family and I have transitioned to Ken. At first I thought he was quirky but now I think it's one of the things I like about him;aside his sense of humor and wittiness. I think he is doing a great job considering he had some really big shoes to fill. Keep up the great job; hope they keep you around!!!
1
-
G
Ken Jennings is a dork. He thinks he’s so cool but he’s so NOT! He is not funny and pretends he is like Alex when he talks to the quests. Please give the job to one one else!
1
-
P
He has only been a show host for a few days...give the guy a chance
-
-
O
Wait until all of the guest hosts have weighed in before you ask for our rating of each one. It is not fair to all of the guest hosts and to the audience until all of the guest hosts have had their shot. Relax. Alex hosted for more than 3 decades.
1
-
C
I watched the show and stopped. Jennings was dry no personality and his voice does not fit a TV personality host. You need to find someone who has similarities of Trebeck (radio or tv). Also having different guest hosts is a joke. You producer's are ruining the show.
1
-
G
Not to insult anyone, although Ken may have the personality, unfortunately he lacks what we call in broadcasting....PIPES!! Having been in broadcasting a number of years, I can tell you that his voice is too dry. That's not something you can readily overcome.
1
-
G
Don’t like him. Does not have the personality needed for the show.
Will be hard to get someone with Alex’s personality, but keep trying.
1
-
G
So/so. He doesn't seem to have the same connection with the contestants that Alex had. A little stilted. Might improve with time, but I have never liked him much.
1
-
G
The initial nerves should be over but I'm still waiting for his fast delivery to slow down. Too many times it appears that the contestants do not understand what he has said as opposed to not knowing the appropriate question/response.
1
-
P
Jennings us a phony@ he channels every aspect of Alex Trebek..he's a poser ! He is an Alex Trebek copycat!
1
-
G
I thought he did a great job. Just hope Katie Couric does not host bc of her alienating 74 million people saying if we were for Trump we belong to a cult & need to be deprogrammed. Seriously, I thought we live in a free country where you can have different
opinions!!!
Jeopardy is a great show, Ken Jennings would make Alex Trebek. Sandy
1
-
B
Absolutely agree. The people she wants “deprogrammed” make up the Jeopardy! audience.
-
-
G
I think Ken Jennings is doing a excellent job, live things along , good job Ken
1
-
C
He sucks, He’s arrogant. He believes he is the best but has ne personality.
1
-
P
Not the right sounding voice
1
-
O
I think the network should try again. Let’s see some other options as Ken comes across arrogant and demeaning to the contestants
1
-
O
Like to see what others bring to the table!
1
-
R
Don't like him as host too fast whipping through everything no personality
1
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a great job! Few people could adapt to the pace and precision of hosting Jeopardy as quickly and smoothly as Jennings has. His experience, intelligence and personality make him the logical successor to the great A!ex Trebek. There is no need to look any further; Ken is the Heir Apparent!
1
-
P
He's perfect for the host. Great personality . He's his own person and he's respectful of Alex Trebeck yet doesn't try to imitate him in any eay. He should definitely be the permanent host.
1
-
B
I think he has done a great job, he would do a great job, He has great respect for Alex and the show, please give him the job! He will do them proud!!
1
-
O
Ken....hands down!!!
1
-
C
I think he is the perfect person to follow Alex Trebek.
1
-
O
He has taken to the Host position like he has been doing it for years. Give it to him now! No need to bring in the others. Alex would be very proud of Ken
1
-
O
A definite thumbs up! Keep him!
1
-
R
Ken Jennings did a wonderful job!
1
-
R
I vote for Ken he is doing a great job
1
-
B
We think he is doing a great job. We like him.SL
1
-
C
I think Ken Jennings does a super great job of hosting Jeopardy! No one will ever be able to come close to Alex Trebek as host, but I love how Ken handles it. He will only get better as time goes on. I will say I like him way better than any of the other guest hosts that they have announced will be on there. Please give the job to Ken! I love how he says “Thank you, Alex” at the end of every show!
1
-
G
Ken Jenning should keep the job. He has been doing a great job as a host. I don’t think anyone else can do a better job than him. 👍
1
-
B
Here’s a man who proved himself 74 times, Alex showed that he would like to see him take the reigns. The game show has hired him as a consultant and you want to drag the decision along. Katie Curtic and the other choices, please don’t insult us. I as a fan will be sitting this one out while the other take the stage. “ let’s go Ken”
1
-
C
I think Ken is a natural for this role. I think it is a no brainers that he should be the permanent replacement.
1
-
C
Ken is doing a great job! Because he has spent so much time watching, studying, and participating in the game, he stepped in with ease. He has gotten more comfortable each week. I can’t imagine some of the other guest hosts doing as well, but will give them a chance. But in my mind, Ken is the choice.
1
-
R
I love jeopardy and I loved Alex Trebek. I think ken Jennings is doing N awesome job and would hate to see him leave. I however, will leave if you replace ken Jennings. If it ain’t broke, why fix it. And ken Jennings ain’t broke.
1
-
R
Ken was great in my opinion keep him.
1
-
R
Ken Jennings is perfect. He should be there.
1
-
O
Ken Jennings is a definite. He knows Jeopardy in and out. It is his passion.
1
-
R
Ken is doing an awesome job.He should be the pemanent host.I believe Alex would want that also.
1
-
P
No one else but Ken.
1
-
P
We were not sure, although we knew Katie would be a bad choice.
But after watching Ken Jennings a few days felt he was fitting right in and we felt comfortable watching. Alex would be happy with him too!
1
-
G
Ken has and is doing a terrific job.....always thought Alex was irreplaceable.
I've been proven wrong!!
1
-
P
He worked in very well. We really liked him.
1
-
O
Little by little he relaxed and got better. Understandably nervous. Love his "Thank you, Alex" at the end of his good nights.
1
-
R
Keep Ken, he is doing great!!
1
-
O
Surprised me, he seemed awkward at first as I continued to watch he began to develop. I miss Alex his charm and sense of humor. Ken's not there yet, either way I love the show and will continue to watch.
1
-
R
Ken Jennings is doing a great job and should be selected as permanent host. He's a winner!
1
-
C
Ken Jennings is doing a great job. Keep him going. Very professional and the contestants seem at ease.
1
-
P
Ken Jennings fits the bill in my opinion the G.O.A.T. is just great he is so so familiar with the show
1
-
R
He did a terrific job.. Cant think of anyone better.. Sign him up..
1
-
P
Ken has done a great job. I particularly like the way he relates to the conversations, nobody just gets cut off. Ken finishes smoothly! My Vote is with Ken, and he’s got a vested interest in this endeavor. Great job, Ken ( Thank you Alex)!
1
-
R
Very well received,, very good,, he surprised me!! I like it!!
1
-
R
I think he is doing great. Those are big shoes to fill.....
1
-
O
I think he did a great job, getting smoother all the time.
1
-
C
Ken has done a great job as host. He has shown respect to Alex in his comments and performance. He started out a little awkward but has gotten more comfortable as the weeks have gone on. I think that of all of the guest hosts his job will be the hardest picking up directly after Alex. No one can ever live up to Alex but Ken’s tributes to Alex and his sincere comments about him have endeared him in my heart. Fantastic job Ken!👍🏼
1
-
R
Love Ken!!! Keep him!
1
-
G
I think Ken has fit in perfectly. His ability and knowledge of the game has more than exceeded my expectations. Give the others a chance, but please come back to Ken.
1
-
O
Loved him! Did a great job!
1
-
C
Ken was great. A little awkward in the beginning, but then he loosened up a bit and nailed it. Think he will make a great regular host.
1
-
C
He is doing an amazing job.the next best thing to Alex.
1
-
O
My husband and I think he is doing a great job
It took a few shows for him to get comfortable but after that he has been great and we are enjoying the shows
We think of all the listed hosts he will be the best
We really don’t even want to see the others take their turns
1
-
G
Alex would be proud. Ken is doing an awesome job on a show that he loves as much as Alex did and it shows! Permanent host material for sure!
1
-
C
I think he’s doing a great job. It can’t be easy.
1
-
P
Ken for sure.
1
-
B
Ken Jennings all the way.. cancel the other temps.
1
-
P
Ken is doing a wonderful job 👏. Fits in well and I think Alex would approve.
1
-
O
He did a great job.
1
-
P
Doing a awesome job. Keep him.
1
-
G
I think Ken is doing a great job. Next to Alex he is Jeopardy. I say make him the regular host
1
-
P
He was great! Didn’t overkill it. Very personable and humble. I’d continue to watch if he is permanently the host
1
-
B
Ken Jennings Nailed it and their should be no other guest host. He had such a relationship with Alex and my opinion he wanted Ken to take over.... Please leave it alone like the show and would hate to stop liking it...
1
-
G
Ken is the one. He is terrific.
1
-
P
Keep Ken. Skip the others.
1
-
G
Ken was a little nervous at first, but is now doing just a wonderful job. It seems so right that he have this job, the best contestant ever, who has a love of the game ..... rather than a celebrity. I believe Alex would be smiling down on a Ken Jennings decision
1
-
P
Keep Ken.
1
-
O
Ken just keeps getting better! I think he would make a great permanent host.
1
-
B
Ken is great! Don't think rest of guest list has what it takes! Forget even putting them on!!!
1
-
G
Ken is THE ONE!!! He is smart, engaging, funny, and just as sharp looking as Alex. Make him permanent please!
1
-
C
Ken was perfect as the host.
1
-
B
Ken is great. He's fitting in well. Let's make him the permanent host. No one can replace Alex, but Ken is a good substitute.
1
-
G
Ken is doing great! Love his respect for Alex. Couldn’t be a better person for the job!
1
-
O
Mr. Jennings has shown his ability to interact . He has the personality and he knows the words (some people will not be able to conduct a smooth game. I vote for Mr. Ken Jennings to host the game.
1
-
P
I loved Alex and no one can really fill his shoes but Ken is not trying to fill Alex's shoes Ken has done a marvelous fantastic amazing job hosting this great game show Jeopardy Ken has a very special way about him he is very welcoming to the contestants and is hosting the show in a way that that honers
Alex's memory he's doing such a great job there's an old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it I know Ken will do a fantastic wonderful job as the permanent host of Jeopardy
1
-
G
doing agreat job.
1
-
B
Ken is doing fantastic. When you think Jeopardy Ken is part of the Jeopardy family.
The other scheduled guest hosts have their own professional identity and no association with Jeopardy.
Keep Ken. He is Jeopardy!
1
-
B
Ken Jennings is doing a great job as Host on Jeopardy. Hope he is there permanently...
1
-
P
Great sweet adorable smart caring. Alex is beeping saying “younailed it ken”
1
-
G
I think that Ken Jennings has done a great job as guest host! Let’s hope they name him as permanent host after other people get done being guest host!
1
-
B
Ken is doing an excellent job i think he shold be a permanent Candidate
1
-
P
Ken Jennings is GREAT. Sorry but I’ll skip watching while the other guests hosts are standing behind the podium. No one deserves this place more than Ken Jennings, not even as a guest host.
1
-
G
I really enjoy watching Ken as interim host right now I dont wish to see anyone else except him
1
-
C
I have enjoyed Jeopardy for decades, as soon as the theme music starts, my mood improves! I think Ken has honored the void of Alex's passing well, and has done a great job. He's witty, smart, and would be a great replacement.
1 2
-
O
Ken is doing a great job! I was concerned they may want to change it too much, but he has made a point to keep things the same and remains respectful of Alex and humble about his role. He is getting more relaxed and we can see a bit of his personality coming out, which is good. I like the personal connection he had with Alex. I really don’t care to see anyone else do it. Give him the job!
1
-
G
I think Ken Jennings has done a great job. He should be the permanent host. I have no interest in watching the other guest hosts. I will probably not watch the show after ken leaves.
1
-
G
Ken is great - doing a much better job than I thought anyone could! He is very personable and handles the contestants so well! Do not want to watch guest hosts - some terrible choices there! I’ve hardly missed any shows since Art Fleming! Keep Ken!!!
1
-
O
Ken is the natural fit for the job. He’s played the game and knows it’s ins and outs. He’s done a great job as guest host, Alex would be proud. I hope he returns as the permanent host of Jeopardy!!
1
-
B
He’s doing great! He should be the new host once all the guest hosts are done.
1
-
G
Ken is ok. To me, he is trying too hard to be Alex Trebeck. “No one” will ever be as great as Alex was. Andersen Cooper was great as a contestant on Jeopardy. I don’t believe he would ever bring his or anyone else’s political views to the show. Katie Curic is too “bubbly” for Jeopardy. Keep interviewing. How about Tom Bergerac (spelling) from Dancing With The Stars?
1
-
G
I will not watch Ken Jennings. His rude comments he has made about people in the past is inexcusable. I am in a wheel chair and was offended by the comment he made. He disrespected what Alex stood for, dignity and respect for all people.
1 2
-
G
Agree
1
-
-
R
Even though he did it as comedy, I still think Will Ferrell would make a good host.
1
-
G
Ken is fitting in the role as host, but it’s a good idea to wait before selecting a permanent host. Give it time and other guest hosts first. The permanent host shouldn’t be compared to Alex (we all know that’s not fair) but to the other guest hosts. Time to mourn for Alex will help us all get thru transition
1
-
P
He started out a little tense. He has settled in and he is more comfortable in the role.
1
-
O
Why are you having people vote when Ken Jennings has been the only on air host. Don’t you think you would get any more honest vote if you had more of the candidates listed?
1
-
G
Considering he has been the only "substitute," it's premature to anoint him permanent Jeopardy host. He's done far better than I expected but I'm still not a fan.and agree with the comments about being knowledgeable but I'm not a fan yet.
1 2
-
O
Keep Ken! The focus should be on the contestants, not the host. The host provides stability and should be associated with the Jeopardy brand. Ken is the perfect host, making the viewers feel like Alex did. The other guest hosts have fans or detractors based on previous (famous) occupations. After Ken leaves I am taking a break from the show.
2
-
C
After a somewhat nervous start where he seemed to speak at rapid speed, Ken settled in and looked like he was really enjoying himself. He has developed into a great host, personable, friendly and respectful of each contestant. He conducts guest interviews ably and shows a genuine interest in what they have to say. Wrong answers are never mocked and information everyone misses is filled in by Ken’s never being smug or condescending. He is very open to shared humour and can be quite witty. Needless to say, I would like to see Ken as permanent host, but will give other guest hosts a fair chance until the producers make a decision and offer. In the meantime, I’ll just keep enjoying the game as always.
2
-
B
He's doing good.
2
-
P
Ken has great potential and is off to a fantastic start. I think he will do Alex proud.
2
-
O
Ken is awesome
2
-
C
It's as if Ken was made for the job. Plus he knew Alex personally and is doing him proud. A little awkward at first but he found his footing and seems to enjoy the job which is important
2
-
O
Jennings enunciation is clear. He keeps the game moving and gets through most, if not all of the clues. (I like to see the board cleared.) His duration as a Jeopardy! contestant has provided him a unique insight to "guest host" during this transition period. He has my vote to continue as the permanent Jeopardy! "host."
2
-
O
I believe Ken is the best person to replace Alex Trebek.
His intelligence and personality are a perfect fit. I have watched every show he has hosted.
2
-
G
Ken is a great fit for the show. As someone already said” Alex would not only agree.He would be most proud”.
2
-
R
Although he fills the role, I feel like I am watching a High School Quiz show. He is a normal guy, other than being an incredible contestant, does not have the presence that I came to expect. I look forward to seeing the other alternatives. I believe there is a reason why some people are more successful than others in hosting shows.
1 3
-
B
I don't like him as a host. I'm annoyed that Jeopardy allowed his long streak of winning to permit him(& others) gaining even more money through tournaments & championships. Spread the wealth. I further dislike that trivia knowledge catapulted him to continued television presence and growth in his income .
2
-
O
I think he had the jitters the first week or two, but I think he's gotten rid of the nerves and is doing well. I'm interested to see how Anderson does. I think he could be great.
2
-
O
Ken does a lot of things right. I like his demeanor. He is kind to the contestants. His intonation, pitch and speed of talking create the impression that he rushes through the program. There is a sense of urgency in his voice. As much as I like about him I would keep looking if it were up to me.
1 3
-
C
Lester holt would be good
2
-
C
Personally I don't feel Ken Jennings is a good fit as a host at all, from what I saw to me he was too tight. He attempted many times to try and be loose but just couldn't pull it off, he was too stiff. My advice to Mr Jennings is to stay on this side of the buzzer, keep winning the cssh, and don't give up your day job
2 4
-
B
Not a fan. I find he's too stilted and his tries to engage in humor are sad. We need to try the other guest hosts. I think Brad would be a bouncier type to host.
2
-
G
Seems Ike an over-eager puppy. Reminds me of when Vanna replaced Pat on Wheel of Fortune when he was ill. Yes! That is right. Lus he has sme over-used phrases such as “Let it ride.”. Would not be my first choice
2
-
B
Maybe it's just me but I think after all the guest hosts have had there turn, the show just needs to come to a graceful close. Having been a Jeopardy! fan since a kid, it just doesnt feel like the same show. Alex was a part of my "family" for so long, to me, it just feels improper to have the show on without him. I dont have an opinion on Ken Jennings time as host. Any way I look at it, Jeopardy! is no longer a viable ratings show without the iconic Alex Trebek as the host. He is missed tremendously.
3
-
O
No Way Alex wanted it to continue.
-
-
R
Ken is OK, but I'm sure there has to be someone better, like Anderson Cooper, for example. Anxious to see the other guest hosts.
3
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job. But I do think we should go thru the others who've been chosen to guest host just to show everyone what we would be missing if we did not choose Ken as the permanent host. After all, Ken may need to have someone fill in for him at some time in the future.
4
-
B
Ken reads the clues without a hitch & he does an okay job however, he very much lacks the warmth as a host especially the warmth that Alex had . I’ve been a faithful viewer of Jeopardy for many years & a major reason was because of Alex. After watching Jeopardy with guest host Ken Jennings. I doubt I’d be a faithful viewer of Jeopardy with Ken as permanent host.
2 7
-
C
Ken makes me uncomfortable. He tries too hard to make show about him and not contestants. Pick someone else. Ken has too much Twitter baggage that shows his true arrogant self.
2 10
-
O
When I see Ken Jennings, I want to change the channel, even though I’ve loved this show since I was a kid. He is full of himself, and has no personality. He’s just trying to copy Alex. Get a host who has a personality, and can bring something a little different.
The host doesn’t have to know the answers, just be able to read them.
