‘Jeopardy!’: Who Is Most Likely to Become Permanent Host?
Jeopardy! continues to chug along following longtime host Alex Trebek‘s death with familiar faces stepping in to temporarily take up the gig, but who will be replacing the legendary host full-time? It’s a question fans have been asking for a while as guests continue to appear throughout Season 37.
Several others have still to have their stint — including George Stephanopoulos (who started his week-long run Monday, July 12), Robin Roberts, fan-favorite LeVar Burton, David Faber, and Joe Buck. We’re taking a look at how likely it is that each guest who has appeared so far, will serve as permanent host. Below, we’re rounding up the guest hosts so far, and revealing from least to most likely, who could serve as Jeopardy!‘s next official host.
Jeopardy!, Weeknights, Check your local listings
Dr. Mehmet Oz
Following a poll regarding fan-favorite hosts so far, Dr. Mehmet Oz ranked the lowest among viewers, and considering his other ventures including the long-running Dr. Oz Show, medical commitments, and more, this guest host is the least likely long-term candidate for Jeopardy!‘s lead gig.
Anderson Cooper
Based out of New York City and hosting his own show on CNN makes Anderson Cooper an unlikely candidate for Jeopardy!‘s prime role. As a contributor to CBS’s long-running newsmagazine 60 Minutes, we can’t imagine Cooper being spread any thinner work-wise.
Savannah Guthrie
Not unlike the previously mentioned guest hosts, Savannah Guthrie’s role on Today in New York City makes it unlikely that she’d take up a more permanent role at Jeopardy!.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta
While Dr. Gupta did provide a promising peek into what hosting would look like for him, his commitments as a correspondent on CNN and other television networks and programs makes it unlikely he’d make such a drastic career switch.
Katie Couric
Despite not being an obvious favorite among Jeopardy!‘s wide array of viewers, Couric‘s schedule isn’t as hectic as it once was when she previously helmed her own talk show and also helped lead Today on NBC. So, while this makes her odds of becoming a permanent host higher, she still remains a not-so-likely option.
Bill Whitaker
Favored above Couric and some of the other previously-mentioned guest hosts, Bill Whitaker could be an unforeseen option. The only obvious drawback that would pull Whitaker away from the gig is his role at 60 Minutes which has been substantial over the years.
Mike Richards
Already a fixture at the show, Jeopardy!‘s executive producer Mike Richards is a possible frontrunner to take over for permanent host. He was an early favorite among viewers after he stepped in to follow up first guest host Ken Jennings. At the time of his appearance, Richards did make it clear he was serving as guest host temporarily, suggesting he’d prefer to work behind the camera.
Mayim Bialik
Based on an early TV Insider poll, The Big Bang Theory‘s Mayim Bialik ranked as the most-favored guest host. Taking this into consideration with her own background as a neuroscientist and it would seem that Bialik’s future as a permanent guest host is bright, but there’s a cloud in the sky for those who would like to see her there. The actress’s show Call Me Kat was renewed for Season 2 at Fox, making it unclear if she’d have the right amount of time to keep up with both productions. Ultimately, Call Me Kat makes her an unlikely option to fill the role.
Aaron Rodgers
Currently serving as a quarterback to the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers would be giving up a lot to take up a permanent gig as Jeopardy!‘s host. As a former celebrity champ and fan of the series though, could it be enough to sway him if offered the gig? Considering his fan base, it’s a stronger possibility than others who have guested so far.
Buzzy Cohen
This former winner stepped in for the Tournament of Champions this spring and held his own in the position. Considering Buzzy‘s connection to the show and lack of bigger outside commitments, the possibility of this brainy guest taking over full-time is stronger than most and wouldn’t take away from the show’s roots.
Ken Jennings
The GOAT continues to remain a frontrunner for Jeopardy!‘s coveted hosting job and it’s hard to deny that you can’t look at Ken Jennings without thinking of the game show. While he is committed to ABC’s The Chase, it is difficult to imagine he’d pass on Jeopardy!‘s permanent hosting gig if given the option. With a name that’s become synonymous with Jeopardy!, Ken Jennings remains the most likely guest host to take over.

G
Ken Jennings is the only one so far, I would consider. This is such a huge decision to make. For me it will determine if I continue to watch Jeopardy or not. I miss Alex every show. Big shoes to fill he was such a professional.
-
G
Mayim Bialik gets my vote!
-
O
Mike Richards and Mayim Bialik were the only two that seemed comfortable with the role in front of the camera.
Everyone else - varying degrees of awkward.
-
G
I think Mayim Bialik and Mike Richards were the best to date. Mayim is very intelligent and has an excellent speaking voice; she just needs a good wardrobe person. A few others were good, but, as mentioned, probably not available.
-
O
Not very nice to judge her on her wardrobe. She would be my pick as she is so intelligent
-
P
A lot of her wardrobe choices are based on the edicts of her faith; she is an Orthodox Jew. I do not think her wardrobe diminishes her in any way--She is bright and articulate, and appeared very comfortable in the role of host.
-
O
Totally agree!!!!
-
-
A
I'm considering waiting until after Levar Burton's week to pick my permanent host of "Jeopardy".
-
G
Mike Richards would be my first choice, he is very comfortable as host. But. Ken Jennings is Jeopardy. I believe the audience would soon feel as comfortable with Ken as we were with Alex.
-
O
Ken Jennings is on my top NOT permanent list. He wasn't that great as a host. Others NOT to pick include: Katie Couric was horrible. Dr. Oz terrible. Anderson Cooper, Savannah guthrie and Bill Whitaker. Just awful.
-
C
If Dr. Oz hosts, I’ll refuse to watch.
-
-
P
I could not stand listening to Aaron Rodgers’ monotonous, monotone delivery. Savannah needs a new stylist. Buzzy and Mayim were totally delightful and I would be so happy to see either of them as permanent host. Ken surprised me with how well he did; and if rumors are correct, it was already predetermined that he would take over as host and this whole guest host thing has been a PR ploy. My favorite was Mike Richards. He was classy and smooth like Alex.
-
C
Agreed, but Buzzy was a joke.
-
-
R
I think Ken Jennings is perfect for the new Host. Hope he gets it.
-
C
Choosing Ken Jennings as host would loose Jeopardy this long time viewer and fan.
-
B
I agree. I think he would try to talk too much after each question.
-
O
Ken's voice is too high. Buzzy was so much better.
-
-
B
I think Ken Jennings is the only logical choice. The others would drag it down.
-
G
Many good ones...Rodgers is NOT.
His popularity is all from football fans. After Bill Whitaker, the most sleep-inducing of the lot.
He is a game show minor leaguer.
Stick with football.
-
P
Weird, I thought he did a pretty good job and I'm not only not a football fan, I've already forgotten what team he plays for. If anything I expected him to be terrible because I'm not a football fan, or a sports guy in general, and I was surprised at how well he did.
-
B
I liked Aaron Rodgers too.
-
-
G
I liked him but second-best I think he’s getting ready to sort of retire in a while but I still like to Bialik the best
-
R
I'm a football fan.... He was horrible!! The producer did the best job if you ask me.... Can't stand the Leftist News cast!!!
-
-
G
Interesting how the candidates without obvious political slant are leading. Alienating half of your potential audience is a poor business model.
-
P
I agree! Cooper, Couric, Guthrie, Stepanopoulos, Roberts, all main stream media. All leaning left. Might have been refreshing if the producers had the courage to put a conservative on the podium.
-
B
Sadly, they couldn't find any conservatives who could read words of more than two syllables.
-
G
So who wrote the reply for you?
-
-
G
Mike Rowe, From Dirty Jobs
-
-
-
O
Mayim Bialik, she has the voice needed and also her character and persona. She would make an awesome host. The others could stick to what they’re doing.
-
C
Am I the only one that thinks everyone did an admiral job in a situation that was hard to live up to Alex Trebek. I'm afraid all these canidates are separating fans. I do think that most of them just wanted the experience and not the job.
-
D
The real questions are who is truly available for the job and actually wants it.That narrows this down to just a few people.
-
C
Exactly. And someone who wants the long term commitment. Fans don’t want a revolving door of hosts. It’s obviously understandable now because of the tragedy of Trebec’s passing, but anyone who has availability and is willing to commit long term is probably at the top of the list.
-
-
C
Ken is the man
-
B
I think it was decided before all the guest hosts appeared. I know lots of people like Ken Jennings but I think he is arrogant and he thinks he’s funny. Sad but he already had the job from day one. I’m not fooled. Hope I am wrong!
-
G
Alex came across as arrogant at first until he settled into the job.
-
-
P
Ken Jennings is the total obvious choice. He not only knows the game but he has a great connection with the contestants. I know we are only two people but if he isn't chosen as the permanent host these two long-time fans will be signing off.
-
C
Please NOT Jennings. Just puts off an air that made the show unwatchable when he hosted.
-
P
Mayim was the absolute best. She was so relaxed, showed humor and knowledge. But she won't be chosen. No way a woman will ever get this job. I completely agree with poster saying choice was made prior to the guest spots.
-
O
Well I don’t like Ken Jennings or Aaron Rogers . Can’t imagine why Tom Bergeron hasn’t been asked to guest host. He would be my first choice and Mayim Bialik would be next. Make a bold move jeopardy and choose a woman!
-
P
I thought Dr Sanjay Gupta was great. Katie Couric & Savannah Guthrie were terrible. They ruined the whole flow of the game & I just turned to another channel
-
R
If Ken Jennings is made host, I will never watch Jeopardy again.
-
G
I absolutely Agree.
-
-
G
Buzzy was the best by far. Ken is not personable and came across as arrogant. Most of the guest hosts were not very good. Mike was a pretty good host too.
-
C
Buzzy was awful, in my opinion! As stated above, Mayim Bialik has been the best, everyone else except the producer we’re very awkward!
-
C
Funny, I'm 180° from where you are on this, Sandy. Buzzy was the best, Mayim wasn't the worst but doesn't deserve the spot, way too quirky. Totally agree with Bob.
-
-
-
R
I like Mike Richards best as a replacement. Myiam Bialik but NOT Ken Jennings.
-
C
I do not want to know the political affiliation of the final choice. I actually liked Mayim the best (sorry, Ken).
-
B
1. Ken Jennings - GOAT.
2. Buzzy Cohen - can't beat his energy and enthusiasm!
3. Dr. Sanjay Gupta - polished, positive, and personality ...a solid choice.
All the rest are please NEVER permanent!
-
B
Mike Richards…by far! We need a fresh face, with credibility, who will soon earn the gravitas afforded Alex. He’s young, handsome, and knowledgeable.
-
G
I think that Mayim Bialik did a excellent job! The only thing in my opinion is her hair and what she where is not up to the standards of the suits that men wear! She has a beautiful smile and a wonderful personality and very intelligent. She would be my first pick, if she would where a different hair style and more up to date clothing, Good Job Mayim
-
G
The word is wear not where.
-
-
O
Buzzy was the best in all categories!!! Even though we hate his glasses
-
G
Actually I think he looks very fashionable and worldly with those glasses. He was a terrific host! For me it is between him, Byalik and Ken Jennings! Extremely smart people that excellent as hosts!
-
C
I agree, Connie!
-
-
P
I would prefer to not have Ken Jennings as a host. I find him boring. Sorry, Ken.
-
C
I like Mayim Bialik
-
R
Mike Richards is my top vote. Next, I thought Anderson Cooper did an amazing job. Very intelligent, relaxed with a good sense of humor. He does not seem to be a contender though. Mike Richards is perfect for the position.
-
B
I thought Anderson Cooper did very well.
-
-
G
Please! Tired of guest hosts!
-
P
Watched for a few minutes last night. Couldn't stand the sound of George's raspy voice. Turned it off.
-
O
I love Big Bang Theory, but I thought Mayim Bialik was phony. Unlike most of the others, she seemed like she was acting. She, also, dresses like Amy Farah Fowler. Ken Jennings seemed the most natural.
-
G
For me there are only 2 for the job. Ken Jennings or Sanjay Gupta both men are great. Well done, you kept me watching.
-
G
I Liked Mayim and I believe she said she would be interested in the job. Most TV shows are only 15 episodes now so it wouldn't get in the way. I wouldn't be upset if Ken Jennings got the job or Aaron Rogers .
-
O
Ken is my choice
-
O
I hope it's Mike Richards or Myiam Biakik
-
B
Unrelated to the hosts, has anyone noticed a serious lack of male contestants? Not to mention the considerable dumbing down of questions at every level…
-
O
If Ken Jennings becomes the host I will never watch again. Mayim, Buzzy, or Aaron.
-
G
Ken Jennings
-
O
Ken Jennings should be the host.
-
B
I think that the new host must be apolitical. A known liberal or a known conservative is going to turn off half the audience.
-
G
I have thought MIke Richards would be the best replacement, he did a great job and knows the show.
-
R
Maiyum Bailik (sp?) or Buzzy. Clearly the smartest people in the room at any time, and isn't that what we want, a host who knows how to pronounce the words. We don't want a clone of Alex just someone who can handle the job as graciously as he did.
-
R
I think it's a shame that Alex was never political but they are trying to replace him with a Leftist hit list of Host from MSM/CNN/MSNBC.... Way to alienate 51% of the audience!!! #RestinpeaceAlex
-
O
Alex never expressed his political opinions. As any Canadian would be far left in the American far right political spectrum he could not help being on the left. He was a humanitarian not something that Conservatives shine in. He would be a left-wing democrat.
-
-
G
If they choose Joe Buck, I will NEVER watch this show again!
-
G
Most were simply abysmal and I would quit watching. for me ken Jennings or buzz
-
O
NOT Jennings who has a bland personality, high ego.
NOT Cohen, too quirky.
-
P
Most of the candidates are know left wingers. I would prefer someone who is more moderate or keeps their mouths shut on politics in other areas.
-
O
Waiting to see LeVar Burton, but so far the only ones I could stand are Buzzy and Mayim Bialik
-
P
I was impressed with Mayim Bailik and liked her easy manner.. no one else better at this time.
-
P
Ken Jennings life has been devoted to trivia and Jeopardy. I view the other contenders as opportunist, trying to land the job with a smile. Vote Ken.
-
O
Either Ken Jennings or Aaron Rodgers
-
B
Ken Jennings!
-
O
Aaron Rodgers Is my favorite I think he did the best job
-
P
Alex Trebek was non-committal with regard to politics, that was one of one the reasons he was so well liked. In choosing his replacement take that into consideration. A candidate that has left or right leanings, from past endeavors, will lose favor with a large percentage of your viewers. Alex's replacement should be as middle of the road as possible, in order to attract viewers from all walks of life.
-
B
Mayim Bialik or Savannah Guthrie were my favorites, so far! Katie would be my 3rd choice. LaVar is my 4th choice.
They (did and would) interact well with contestants and they have the charm, intelligence and TV savvy to lead the show!
No to Buzzy and no to Ken Jennings.
I want to watch someone familiar and inviting. The ladies have what it takes.
-
B
I have been watching Jeopardy ever since I was little, now I am 41,I will always miss Alex Trebek. Alex Trebek always had this charisma about him and was always happy.It seemed like he never would let anything get him down.He will be forever missed. I think though that Ken Jennings is the one that I would choose I watched every single episode of Jeopardy when he was on there and I realy like him.
-
O
I see mostly if not all liberals. Oh well , I only watched it occasionally. I won’t miss not watching at all.
-
R
Aaron Rodgers still my favorite
-
O
I will stop watching after all these years if Buzzy Cohen becomes the next host of Jeopardy!!! He is a clown, and he makes a mockery out of a game that Alex Trebek brought clean and classy fun.
-
G
Sorry , but he was absolutely terrific as a host and is an absolutely brilliant individual. Jealous?
-
C
Cece, really..?!? He read the answers with a ton of authenticity. I agree with "Just me" above.
-
-
-
O
I liked Buzzy the best so far. He has a good personality and is smart without being arrogant.
-
C
I still believe it should be someone who is not known/recognized for anything other than Jeopardy!
-
B
Mayim Bialik
-
G
It will be a black host because every show
has gone "BLACK" OR "GAY.
-
G
Rogers, Mayim, Buzzy -in that order. Please no Ken Jennings. He thinks that he is witty and funny, but isn’t.
-
G
No Ken Jennings. Do not like his comments re women. Haven’t we had enough ?
-
G
LeVar Burton is my choice! He's amazing and would do a wonderful job!
-
P
Ken Jennings
-
R
Ken Jennings. Definitely not Rodgers
-
O
Mike Richards all the way!!
-
C
EIther Ken Jennings, or James Holzhauer
should take over.
-
G
Currently, of those I’ve watched as host, Mayim Bialik is my favorite. But her show starting its second season is likely to be a deal breaker unless she can work something out with the producers. I completely missed LeVar Burton’s try—and I’m sure he did a wonderful job ! So he’s the next best consideration for J-Host, in my opinion .
-
P
Lavar hasn't hosted yet. He'll be on soon.
-
-
C
Mike Richards for sure.
Aaron Rogers probably wants it since Peyton Manning is the host of College Bowl. Rogers is so egotistical!!!!
-
O
All the way!!!
-
B
Mike Richard was my favorite!
-
C
So far my vote goes to Mayim. Second would be Mike, then Buzzy.
-
B
My favorite was Buzzy first and second Mayim. The rest were ho-hum for me. I was surprised with Aaron Rogers and would be ok with him, but he is playing football for someone soon.
-
P
My favorite is Aaron Rogers, Ken Jennings, Buzzy and Mike Richards. Unfortunately I was not happy with any of the women or the rest of the men. After watching every episode of Jeopardy for so many years, actually since it started, I would like someone who really understands everything about the game and show and I feel these people do.
-
B
I can't stand Ken Jennings and will never watch again if he is host.
-
O
Mayim Bialik
-
C
Mayim Bialik!
-
O
Matin Balik and aaron Rogers
-
O
Mike Richards is the best. The others don’t shine in comparison. He is the one and only to consider!!!
-
G
I don't think I could listen to Ken Jennings or Mike Richards for very long. Both need to go to a speech therapist to overcome their lisping and tongue thrusting. Katie Couric seemed silly, as if she were talking to a kindergarten crowd.
-
O
what about levar burton? he wants to host
-
C
I enjoyed watching Ken Jennings & Dr Gupta. They had a good flow when speaking and asking questions.
-
R
Ase, please PLEASE,, NOT JOE BUCK
-
O
If jennings takes over I'm done with the program. He is just full of himself.
-
C
Yes, we still need to see LeVar Burton and Robin Roberts! But, sorry, Mayim fans, I don't get what people see in her as permanent host. There's just too much nervous energy there, too many "laughs of acknowledgement" when acknowledging someone's 'answer' (question), and too much personalizing when certain topics come up that she has some connection to. If they're seriously considering a woman, which I hope they are, I'd much prefer Savannah or Robin who, in particular, I gotta feeling is gonna be terrific next week! Fine with Ken, fine with Mike — but my favorite of them all is Buzzy. Great energy and enthusiasm, really pleasing voice, fun when he wants to be, but extremely serious about the game. He's the only one of ALL of them who I felt read the 'answers' as if he himself had written them! Think back on that, folks, and maybe there's some video on YouTube. That great quality gave him a wonderful air of authenticity, much in the same way Alex had. I think Alex would mightily approve of Buzzy and I feel he would be a worthy successor. And he's interested and available! 😁
-
C
Bill Whitaker was good, but his voice isn’t as clear as it should be. The words need to be crisp and clear.
-
O
So far I would say Anderson cooper and dr Oz have the best voices. They are clear and easy to understand.
-
B
Mike Richards is my first choice then Ken Jennings for me the choice will determine if I continue to watch the show
-
R
Ken Jennings - Mayim Bialek
Mayim Bialek-Ken Jennings
Buzzy Cohen
-
R
Ken Jennings, pleasant; Mayim Bialik (with a more upbeat wardrobe); Buzzy Cohen, no dummy; these are my three favorites.
-
P
I have a feeling it's already decided and they are just waiting to finish showing the LeVar Burton episodes before announcing (despite two more 1-week guest hosts).
I think Aaron Rodgers thought he had it for awhile and that was why all his hemming and hawing with the Packers. But my theory is he was recently told no and that's why he suddenly decided to stay with football.
As for my thoughts, Mayim Bialik was my favorite, followed by Buzzy Cohen and Mike Richards.
-
G
Mike Rowe, from Dirty Jobs.
-
P
Mayim has a great speaking voice and Buzz would be second choice, do no like Ken Jennings
-
G
Mayim by a country mile.
-
C
Ken Jennings and Mike Richardson so far have been the best, as well as Mayim Bialik.
-
G
Ken Jennings or Mike Richards
-
O
I think Buzzy would be the best pick for Jeopardy
-
B
Mayim Bialik would be my first choice and Dr. Sanjay Gupta my second choice so far. Don't like Ken Jennings at all.
-
G
Why not Bill Cosby?
-
R
How about trying John Michael Higgins> He is a great host of the game show America Says. In any event, I bet they know who they will choose already. Probably decided way,way back!!!!!
-
G
Ken Jennings is my least favorite for Jeopardy host. Mike Richards was my favorite!!!!
-
G
Just getter' done! Stephanopoulos is wooden, not personable, not watching 😑 taking too long to fill Alex's HUGE shoes. KJ, MR #1,2 for me.
-
B
Ken Jennings
-
R
Aaron Rogers was great he show inthusiaum and enjoyed being there.
-
O
All honesty Ken Jennings may know his stuff but he is cocky and arrogant all wrapped up into trying to be the next Alex Trebec! He befriended the man to gain his trust as a sure thing to become the next host!!! I think Miyam is a best bet! And anyone who disrespects someone’s clothing due to religious reasons, seriously not a good thing….Look a Jennings he looks like he just stepped out of a Sears and Roebuck catalog
-
R
Lavar Burton
-
G
Aaron, Buzzy,Ken.
-
C
MIke Richards or Aaron Rogers
-
C
I agree with above, this is just a PR stunt. They’ve picked already and I’m sad to think it may be Ken Jennings..☹️
-
B
Levar Burton is the only true choice.
-
R
Aaron Rogers! I started recording the show just to see him. It’s a mistake to not grab a hold of him while you can!!
-
B
Well For me Ken Jennings or Mayam Biolak are the best choices.Their personalities shown through and they added alot to hosting the show!
-
C
Between Dr. Gupta and George Stephanopoulus so far.
-
R
Keep the format of the guest host every 2 wks!
-
C
I think if not Ken Jennings, I like David Faber !! He is easy to watch snd listen too. Great timing snd personality.
-
C
David Faber was fantastic!!!! We thought he was as good as or even better than Mike Richards. He was definitely better than the others. I hope he is considered. If they pick someone before all have even had their week, it wouldn’t seem to be fair.
-
G
I have had no problem with any if the guesters. Each one has brought their own style to the show and have done an excellent job. The only one I would have a bit of a problem with is Buzzy Cohen. He did ok but I think he does better as a contestant than a host. It doesn’t matter who the permanent host is some will be happy and others will not. I will still continue to watch regardless.
-
O
Mayim Bialik or Mike Richards for permanent host.
Levar Burton didn’t what it took to be the permanent host he was too monotone .
My third choice would be Buzzy Sanjay Gupta.
-
R
I think the guy hosting right now is the perfect host. No need to try anymore. He should have it over all the others. Aug 3
-
G
I think La Var Burton is the best choice as permanent host for Jeopardy. As time goes on he will become more and more comfortable.
-
O
If LeVar Burton becomes host I will NEVER watch another Jeopardy episode. He has been absolutely horrible. So many mistakes, those bulging eyes & hyper mannerisms, way too distracting. My vote is for Ken Jennings or Mike Richards. The two best so far.
-
C
I’m a Ken Jennings fan all the way. Many of us have known him on Jeopardy! for years. He is smart, witty, quick to laugh at himself, humble and personable with guests, and he’s comfortable in the position. I find his quiet, even voice helps me relax at the end of the day while watching my favorite show. Good luck to all contenders — you’d be filling some awesome shoes.
-
G
Mayim Bialik is my choice. If Levar Burton is selected I will no longer watch Jeopardy. First week you would think that he had several expresso drinks before the show. Just not the same magic as "Reading Rainbow". When he faces the camera he has a "deer in the headlights" look. My second choice would be Ken Jennings.
-
R
I think nobody has or will be better than Ken. He is Jeopardy
-
C
Mike Richards is the only one who seemed totally comfortable. Ken Jennings is synonymous with Jeopardy. LeVar Burton has a unique style. I wish one them is finally selected.
-
C
Among the guest hosts so far, Mike Richards, LeVar Burton, and Ken Jennings; in that order.
-
P
Ken Jennings is “ Jeopardy” I will go back to watching it regularly if he is chosen and if he accepts.
-
G
I vote for Dr Sanjay and Mayim Bialik. Both are so personable, clear speaking voice and intelligent. It would be great if they could do a job share for a year to see how they do on a long term trial snd gives them a chance to see if this is something they would want to do as a permanent host.
-
G
Ken J. He was the most appealing person for this job. Close to Alex makes him the right person.👍👍👍
-
O
Here we go group - Buzzy was really the one that has the enthusiasm and closest to the charisma of Alex. (theses are going to be big shoes to fit into) No one will ever get close to the job Alex was able to achieve. Mike Richards would be my second pick. And third would be, Mayim Bialik. All the others to this point are just not the right fit. Ken is a great guy, has the knowledge but not the charisma to keep the constant viewer's
-
G
I’ve been watching jeapardy forever, however, I will not watch with Robin Robert’s hosting and if she becomes the permanent host I will never watch it again. Her wrinkle removal company scammed me out of $500. I returned 5 jars of product that I received in a 2 week period. And they won’t refund my money. Will be willing to explain to anyone who will listen I have all the documentation. She’s making money scamming people.
-
O
Please not Aaron Rodgers! Mayim and Buzzy and Mike were very good!!
-
R
My vote was for Mike Richards until Mayim Blalik served. Those two are my favs‼️
-
P
Brooke Burns

R
With Aaron Rodgers, some dates to remember here:
July 27th - Packers open Training Camp (Levar Burton 2nd show on Jeopardy airs)
August 14th - Packers first Pre-Season game v Houston at Home (Day after Joe Buck's final show of Jeopardy airs)
Mid-August (Aug 16-19) - I would suspect Jeopardy permanent host named before 38th Season tapings begin.
Mike Richards has said he would want someone to dedicate full time to hosting the show, which to me would eliminate Rodgers from consideration. The only way I could see Rodgers getting the job at Jeopardy is if he retires from Green Bay to take the Jeopardy job. For Green Bay, the timing would suck to be honest.
All that said, I suspect the job is really Ken Jennings' to lose here. If it's offered to Jennings, its game over, and he'll be the permanent host probably early to mid-August, maybe as soon as that Monday August 2nd, two days after Levar Burton's stint ends on July 30th.

Savannah Guthrie.

P
M. RICHARDS AND B. COHEN HAVE THE MOST PROJECTION IN THEIR VOICE AND INTERACTION WITH THE CONTESTANTS, GEORGE S. AND DR. GUPTA ARE NEXT IN LINE. ALTHOUGH THE OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN ON TV HAVE NO UMPH IN THEIR VOICE WHICH I FOUND SURPRIZING. MY VOTE GOES TO MIKE.

I think Aaron was the best for tone of voice, tempo (Buzzy was like a runaway train.) Ken, no personality plus arragont, plus Aaron I think comes closer than anyone that has shown so far to perform as well as Alex. He has passed the voice, timing, personality, contestant interaction, intelligence, looks. By his second week, he NAILED it perfectly. And as far as Lavar Burton doing a campaign to say he was MEANT to do this, I didn't see anyone else flooding the field with their own remarks. Plus I remember his voice from Star TREK NG. FORGET IT. You will loose some but I think gain more viewers in the long run. You will get a new viewing group, Sports fans. Just sayin. Look at the facts so far.

Totally disagree with Mayim Bialik. Her giggle/laugh after each question/answer was extremely annoying. Her delivery of answers was flat and her “banter” with guests was awkward. After watching George Stephanopolus this week I’d say he knocked it out of the park!

Probably someone they are talking to who was not a celebrity fill-in.

Buzzy is my favorite so far…Mayim’s body language (shoulder sway) is too much like Trump’s. I’d have to stop watching 😳

Aaron Rodgers

My vote would defo be Ken (GOAT) or Mayim or Buzzy. None of the other guest hosts come close in comparison. They all seem to be a little uncomfortable in the role.

I think with the loss of Alex, the show should end. There will never be anyone to replace him.
