Ken Jennings

God I hate this fucker.

Sorry my hatred deserved its own thread. I could wade through one of those Jeopardy! threads.

by Anonymousreply 30September 22, 2023 7:34 AM

Yup. Disliked him as a contestant and will not tolerate him as a host.

by Anonymousreply 1September 21, 2023 12:05 AM

What is it you dislike about Ken?

Discuss. Be specific.

Why, OP?

Strange. What is there about him you hate? I find him very congenial.

He looks like a fetus.

I don’t care for his voice or demeanor. I won’t watch either.

I'd take him over the Mayim biatch anyday, Alex!

I want Vanna to do Jeopatdy.

Love Miyan, flush Jennings.

If you're a map nerd, his book is a lot of fun.

I'm Team Ken. I really dislike the show when Mayim hosts.

by Anonymousreply 13September 21, 2023 3:27 AM

He's a smarmy cunt who is way to pleased with himself. With his past Tweets about handicapped people I'm surprised he hasn't been cancelled yet. Plus, before getting this gig, he was downright rude and condescending to his fans. I'd like to buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth. At first I didn't like Mayim but she really grew on me.

Jennings is a scab. Fuck him.

by Anonymousreply 15September 21, 2023 3:31 AM

Jennings is great as host. He’s funny, quick and can think on his feet, which is why Trebek groomed him to be his successor before the Mike Richards debacle.

And no, he’s not a scab.

by Anonymousreply 16September 21, 2023 8:08 AM

Yes, he is

I'd prefer AI generated Alex.

How is he not a scab, r16?

by Anonymousreply 19September 21, 2023 11:24 AM

Jennings is a member of SAG, also a union, and is contractually obligated to work, especially since Mayim, a member of both, walked out in solidarity. Technically he's not a scab, but by crossing a picket line he didn't make himself popular.

Not surprised he didn't join in a performative walkout. I'm sure the guy is very conservative and clueless in many ways but he's an ideal Jepoardy! host, maybe even for those reasons. All he cares about is the game.

Isn't he a devout Mormon?

Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.

He always gave off a creepy vibe. Not a fan.

by Anonymousreply 23September 21, 2023 5:53 PM

He never has to worry about being hot, that's for sure.

Jennings addressing the tweet posted @ R22:

Game shows, talk shows, news programs and soap operas are all covered by a different contract with SAG-AFTRA, the Network Television Code

Those shows all continue to be produced despite the SAG strike. Ken's no more of a scab than the soap actors going to work each day on General Hospital or Young & Restless.

He does have to cross a picket line to get to work because of the simultaneous WGA strike, but the soap actors have to cross the same picket line as do talk show hosts, reporters, etc.

What straight man is concerned about a waste of a hot person in a wheelchair

by Anonymousreply 27September 21, 2023 11:08 PM

R27 An autistic man's idea of a joke is my guess.

by Anonymousreply 28September 21, 2023 11:29 PM

What R26 said.

Not only are the Net Code SAG members not scabs for continuing to work, their own union has told them to continue working and honor the existing contract (which also contains a no-strike clause, I believe).

Jennings is not clueless and he’s not a conservative, his Mormonism notwithstanding.

by Anonymousreply 29September 22, 2023 7:21 AM

He & Mayim are both fine, and having them share the job has worked out well. But Ken is definitely better dressed.
