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.
Pope and Antipope
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.
What’s more maddening is that she has a phd in neuroscience from UCLA.
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.
Fame is a hell of a drug I guess.
She also has comments disabled on her Instagram, wonder why?
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.
But both Trebek and Jennings do have charisma.
Trebek’s rizz is nostalgia for the past, Jennings’ is hope for the future.
Jeopardy fans everywhere: Thank God
Everybody else: Who tf is that?
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.
It’s really too bad all the controversy with Mike Richards happened. He was great during his short tenure.
Richards was middle of the pack at best imo and maneuvering himself into the job was incredibly sleazy.
Had no idea she was Blossom.
I think this is a bit like trying to replace Richard from Pointless
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.
I watched her plenty and don’t get the hate. I agree Ken was better but I thought Mayim had her own vibe, which was fine. The “flow” stuff felt nitpicky. It’s not like she wasn’t finishing games or anything.
Fair enough
Good. Byeeeeeee.
ETA until they do a special guest episode with AI Trebek trained on every episode of Jeopardy?
Thank you Jeopardy, this went on much too long. Hopefully they’ll boot her from the Alexa version also. Her episodes felt absolutely clunky.
bout friggin time, see ya
YAY! I like Mayim’s acting but never enjoyed her hosting Jeopardy.
Alex Trebek is Tre-back! And he looks like Blossom!
Like, you knooooow, whatever.
