We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!.
Should’ve just been him all along. It’s wild that this took three years to happen. I can’t believe they managed to fumble this transition when they had Ken the entire time.
She doesn’t deserve hate and animosity, but this was definitely the right decision. Her pacing and flow never worked for the game, while Ken seemed to take to it much more adeptly. His hosting feels natural and easy and he comes off amiable and charismatic.
She doesn’t deserve hate and animosity
No? A science-denier and anti-vaxxer who shills her brand of vitamin supplements? I’m sorry, I think she deserves exactly that and I’m glad she’s fucking gone.
And Dr Oz used to be a world leading cardio thoracic surgeon. They let their feelings get in the way. Which isn’t strictly a bad thing, but in these cases it has certainly clouded their judgement.
Jeopardy fans everywhere: Thank God
In the 90s, Blossom.
In the 00s/10s, Sheldon’s annoying girlfriend.
In the 20s, the antivaxxer bitch who stole Jeopardy from LaVar Burton.
I love LeVar Burton but his week on jeopardy was awful. There’s no way he was even on a short list afterwards.
The spirit of Jeopardy and the legacy of Trebek would be forever changed by using a host with charisma. Ken Jennings has the perfect “I stitch the day of the week into my underwear” vibe that essential for reminding people to phrase their responses as a question.
Thank God. I used to skip the episodes she hosted.
As someone that stopped watching after Alex stopped hosting, what’s wrong with her being the host? Like what is so bad about it?
Hosting and Acting are two different skill sets, She never got good at keeping the flow of the game going.
Yeah she really didn’t have a good flow. Hard to understand unless you actually watched her host. Nobody beats Trebek though. He was a natural.
