I hate Ken Jennings

He's a passable host, he's just weird. Some kind of midwestern inbred vibes going on.

His voice is too weak to host a game show. When is cutie Brad Rutter going to host?

It took a while to get used to his voice, but he’s much more personable than Trebec, and he doesn’t pretend to speak French. I think he’s doing great. That should keep him.

r3 = Ken Jennings

Alex isn’t replaceable, that much is clear.

As for Ken, his white bread appearance bores me, but I see him trying and he may eventually pull this off.

Imagine how bored he is, knowing all the answers. I think he did a decent job overall, though I wanted to hate him.

Big Mormon pussy.

I think he's doing a stellar job. I like him and think he should be the new host.

He's doing fine. I thought I'd hate it with him but I don't. And the only reason anyone knows who he is is because of Jeopardy, so it makes a certain kind of sense. I'd be totally cool with him taking over permanently, which is not what I expected when I first heard he was doing it.

Could not stand this guy but he's doing well as the hostess. He is doing his own thing not an Alex Trebek impression.

He hates you too, OP. I heard him say it .

It's funny, I LOATHED Ken and was dreading his hosting, but... he's been a great host. I understand now why they picked him (for now). He is the right person for the transition after Alex passing away. People know him and he knows his stuff. It doesn't feel too disorienting.

I think he's doing a great job. I'll try to keep an open mind and see how Couric and Rodgers do, but I am fine with Ken as host.

Somebody pull Wink out of mothballs!

Any pics? 😈

I don't mind Ken hosting either. I'd rather the host be someone who is actually smart and loves the show, instead of a public figure who would rather be an actor or journalist and just wants an easy paycheck.

He’s doing surprisingly well. I’m ready for him to stop thanking Alex, though.

Jennings has a nice sounding voice, not too feminine or robotic at all. He doesn't talk too much about himself and turns it into THEKENJENNINGSSHOW.

I think he's doing a good job to my surprise.

My only complaint is that I don't like the way he says the word "genre."

Is he wearing his magic underwear?

He's just.....awkward. I wouldn't use the word hate. He doesn't have a natural sense of timing like most entertainers/game show hosts/celebrities have.

R5 do you really believe that the answers were a complete surprise to Trebec?

I have nothing against him, but he's not telegenic enough to be a game show host.

I like him better than Trebek.

Never liked him and won't watch the show with him hosting. I used to watch Jeopardy when it was first on TV with Art Fleming. If Ken Jennings is the final host, I won't watch it again.

I agree OP. Can’t stand him and won’t watch Jeopardy as long as he’s hosting.

Oh, same here. Being a Jeopardy champion does not confer the charm, telegenicity, and public speaking ability required to host a game show.

Plus, he's a a-hole. A few years ago he tweeted "Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair." Eff that stuck-up Mormon.

.... and hen they got a girl. So much for all of you.

I would like to see the smart Vegas gambler with his clothes off.

It's going for bad to worse. The extremely irritating Katie Couric is next.

Katie Couric sucks.

A sentiment that will no doubt outrage the upstanding gentlemen of Datalounge, having never had their sensibilities assaulted by such ugliness.

Bullet dodged!

"10% for the church" with a little cock of his head. That's what I remember when he was asked what he'll do with his winnings. What a doofus.

I suspected as much.
