Ken Jennings to be named permanent Jeopardy! host early next week.

Fuck that Mormon breeder.

I was skeptical at first but he’s doing a great job hosting. He has a lot of credibility with the audience and contestants as the GOAT and does a good job conducting the pace of game play. In conversation with contestants he’s clever and personable but also always tries to make the contestants look good.

I thought they were going to the 'brother'?!?

R2 I agree with you. He's likable enough and has never given me a reason to feel negative about him. Trebek seemed to take a liking to him as well.

I thought he’d be insufferable, but to his credit, he’s done well and earned the nod.

Which is why he got ahead of the curve and made a blanket apology for whatever offensive things he may have tweeted in the past.

Wow a thread with no cuntery ecxept for the traditional r1. Just wow.

I never liked him but must say he's doing a great job so congratulations

Aaron Rodgers is probably pissed and was probably hoping for this gig after he retired from football.

He's been than that gamblers guy with the creepy smile.

It will be a hit with Ken because the gay hating cult only supports their own. American Idol and SYTYCD are examples.

He is doing a fantastic job. He's adorkable and probably has a huge cut dick.

He's doing great, surprisingly so.

so it's tracy flick then.

So! No post about the Exec Prod hosting hottie?

He looks plastic, R14. Very flat.

KEN JENNINGS? Ugh. He had a metoo with some tweets he had sent, making fun of fat girls or something. That's going to resurface if he's announced. Alex was smart and attractive. Jennings is smart but doesn't have the charm or the looks that Alex had. In fact, the "rotating guest hosts" was announced after those tweets of his first surfaced.

I hope it's not him.

It should have been Brad Rutter, the third of the "big three" (not the gambling guy, that's James Holzhauer).

He's attractive and has ten times the personality that Ken does.

After 3 decades of Alex Trebek I was hoping they would replace him with someone I can stomach. Ken Jennings is a truly horrible host. I will now longer watch Jeopardy. All good things come to an end. I am removing the show from my DVR schedule.

I think Jennings will be ok with the tweets as they are not racist or homophobic.

He is hideous. Ugh.

It's a game show, not Ibsen.

If he can walk, talk, be blandly appealing and not shit himself on stage, he's in.

Smell Miss R18! She Has Stated Her Boundaries!

So happy for him. Well deserved!

I like Brad, too, but I think the championship between Brad, Ken and James was really an audition for who was to take over. For whatever reason, Brad choked.

[quote]Wow a thread with no cuntery ecxept for the traditional [R1]. Just wow.

Well R7, hang on.

He's awful and ugly. No personality.

No POC? No trans? Not even a lowly gay guy?

Twitter will cancel this in about five minutes.

Ken has been doing a great job. Some have mentioned his Mormon roots, but I think they're just that, roots. I was raised Catholic but don't carry around three sets of rosaries. He's got a sunny personality, some wit, and a hint of sarcasm that's always appreciated on this show. I look forward to the other guest hosts to see how they do.

They should've given it to the Reading Rainbow guy.

Who is this new guest host? As we like to say on the DL, I want him in me, deeply.

The exec producer is very handsome but Ken is much better as a host.

I think the Exec Producer is better than Ken.

The EP is more engaging. Ken is more robotic

The Exec Producer has big dick face and BDE.

Mike Richards hosted Beauty and the Geek, a short-lived but critically acclaimed reality show.

I started out disliking Ken Jennings when he first appeared years ago. Not any more. And he is certainly better than James Holzhauer, who I have always found to be completely insufferable.

I thought that Ken did a great job as guest host. He was relaxed, warm, and friendly.

I don’t care for Mike Richards, the Executive Producer. It seems as if he’s trying much too hard and his manner seems forced. Which is why I thought it was strange to read that people want him to be the permanent replacement for Alex.

And, is he going to sign off every night with that same damn spiel about kindness? It was fine the first time, but I don’t think that we need to hear the same thing every damn night. He doesn’t need a sign off; he’s not Walter Cronkite.

R34, watching right now. I think he does well and is handsome.

But it's one of those things where you can tell the boss really doesn't want to do the employees job. They need to hire someone.

So was he named as the permanent host, or not?

Because I was reading on the Aaron Rodgers thread that he might be named host.

What happened to Ken Jennings?

Aaron will never be host. It will either be Ken or LeVar.

According to this thread R37, it sounded like Jennings was going to be made the permanent host back in February.

What happened to that?

Ken Jennings is GROSS. They just lost a customer. Katie Couric or Anderson Cooper would have been great hosts. Gayle King, even better. We don't need a conservative Mormon professional Jeopardy player as host. It's a mistake. Simple minded. Ken Jennings has no charm or depth. Seriously. I won't watch again. GROSS.
