No. F8ck no. Jennings was such an arrogant prick. He's got a punchable face and his head's too big for his body. F8ck him.
DocsDarkThoughts
Big shoes to fill, buddy. I wish you luck though.
catsandcoke
They’ll have guest hosts. Whoever gets the best ratings wins the job.

2020 is ever so slowly pulling up from its nose dive
jawsoshuell
He was my fan choice, but apparently Alex Trebek named his own preferred replacements: Betty White, Alex Faust or Laura Coates.
SpacemaniaXu
I would more call this an interview phase than I trim phase
zeroisnothing
His podcast with John roderick is awesome
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
On board, thumb is pointing upward...
IPlayWithFire
This better be because Levar Burton is temporarily un available at the moment due to prior engagements
scottspa86
No love for Brad Rutter here?
dogmutter
My vote is no. He gives me the creeps
mike13815
Family guy replaced Adam West with Sam Elliott. I don't know how to feel about it. I didn't even know I cared until I saw it.
GoldFrieza
Levar Burton Pleaze
AsianLeprechaun
With Connery gone, who will be his nemesis?

Live long and prosper, French Stewart! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEghu90QJH4

I'll take bad decisions for 500$.
stulfer
Lavarrrrrrrr!
xizar
Honestly, I think the show should end with Trebek, but if they're going to foolishly try to put someone else in his shoes, he's fine.
MadMike75
I was hoping for Rob Schneider or Chris Elliot.
ErniesWidow
Rob Schneider is a Trumptard.

Calgarytech
IMO, I think will Farrell should be the new hoist.
pizzapartyhard
I like Ken Jennings. Very different style to Trebek tho, but that’s prob what we need. Can’t replicate him, so might as well be different.
hnngh
Nooo...bring her back.
eromitlab
Don't know who she is. She's cute, though.

dot?
iknowbigfoot
That looks like Chris Hardwick in old guy makeup.

Points!

That made me laugh more than I'd like to admit! ?
MrMoustache64
Who is Jen Kennings ?
Imthedroidyouwerelookingfor
He is the highest-earning American game show contestant and hold the record for the longest winning streak on Jeopardy! with 74 wins.
CatsUpvoteTerror
Today I learned that people don't like Ken Jennings
drunkcat
He was a total Pulaski to watson.
SerenePrincess013
... My redneck ass thought you meant any one of the towns/cities named Pulaski that are scattered across the US...
DarkSock
I’m still holding out for Gilbert Gottfried to take over...
mouseasw
You fool!
belaqua84

BestUsernameICouldThinkOf
Was there really any other choice?
Thornappley
Weirdly, I think Austin Rogers could be a fun host
Tumescentpie
Watson?
InkFoot
LeVar Burton.
Imgerruinedimger
Will Ferrell?
Lastgoodusername
Interim? I had him pegged as completely taking over.
RednapxpandeR
Either him or Reading Rainbow guy
jamandtoast
Interim is code for, "we're going to try a few people and see which connects with viewers and we can negotiate a good contract with."
jp189512
Ass soon as they announced him as a "consultant" after Alex was diagnosed, I knew he was gonna be the replacement
sesamesnapsinhalf
No one can be a new host until Emily signs the papers.
FlyNaked
Pegged.... Hahahaha.... You said, "pegged."
SteveMND
Just because he's a fan fav doesn't mean he's actually any good at it. They're having a bunch of guest hosts while they decide who to choose
KoRplussomeletters
Plot twist: it ends up as a permanently changing host à la Have I Got News For You.
tacojuggler
i honestly think this is the best way to go you cant just throw someone at the job and expect it to work even if they seem like a good fit.
Violet143
I heard he has gambling problems, if it true that may not be a quality b they want on a host
PapaNurglesFavoriteSon
I thought that was one of the other guys in the Champion group from a few years ago. The professional gambler
NomadicPaladin
Seriously? I thought he was a straight arrow Mormon?
bryanthehumanbeing
You're probably thinking of James Holzhauer.
Nobody7713
And in his case it's not a gambling problem, it's his profession.
TheBIFFALLO87
Well, no matter what, it was probably going to take a trial to see if he has enough personality. LeVar Burton petition didn't help.
bryanthehumanbeing
I think the worry with Ken is that he may have *too* much personality.
OverlyOpinionated
He's pretty entertaining on his podcast, The Omnibus. It's kinda like a more in depth No Such Thing as a Fish.

Who is Ken Jennings?
ButtmoTerror
The interim host of Jeopardy
WonderfunkJones
This. This was good.
Imthedroidyouwerelookingfor

Ummmm...... GOAT.
SergeantMajorSpoiler
secretoaster
You are correct. I'll take Jeopardy host for $500
EmCeeMiNacion
A redhead Chris Hardwick. Speaking of which, wouldn't be a bad host.
AdultPersistentAngst
Not sure if Jeopardy phrasing joke or..... (he was a super huge winner, many days as the champ. won like *millions*)
SlytherinButFriendsWithHufflepuffs
Many days as in like half a year.

When asked about a garden equipment, who famously proclaimed - "what's a hoe?"
Autittuderp
That was the best.
LaforgeMRA
"An immoral pleasure seeker" as well
RyanHYK
I remember seeing that moment on TV. I too was thinking "What is a hoe?"
chasingatrailofsmokeandreason
“Rake” was the actual answer, if memory serves.
torisenblack
It was, I felt like he was robbed on that, the category was "tool time" not historic, and "hoe" is more accurate in common modern parlance.
commentsivehadafew
This former Jeopardy champion is taking over hosting duties on the show.
plainoldfool
That is correct. @commentsivehadafew, you have control of the board. Pick a category.

That is a fascinating bit of trivia, love his books. Thank you!
HighSorcerer
If you're interested, he has his BYU lectures in writing posted on YouTube. Spoiler warning for some of his books tho, he mentions some bits

I think... I think that was the joke

You realize they commented on themselves right?

No.... No I didn't... I deserve this
