All the drama around the new episodes prevented me from fully appreciating the story as it unfolded.

But...me and Linda are on the same page with this: Let me say first that I don't have opinions — at all — about whether Mike Richards, who was recently announced as the new host of Jeopardy!, will be a good host. (While they announced that there are two new hosts, understand that's not really the case — more on that in a moment.) I haven't been terribly interested in post-Trebek Jeopardy!, and I didn't closely follow the weeks in which there were guest hosts like Aaron Rodgers, Robin Roberts, LeVar Burton, and others. So I'm entirely willing to give all the benefit of the doubt to them that he did a good job guest-hosting and will be a good permanent host.

I respect that but it seems underhanded to me that he worked on the show and was involved in picking the guest hosts, etc... He did not do a bad job at all-- he was pretty good. To me it feels like he got the job in a less than honest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt those things ever crossed her mind, and since I do not watch the show, I’ve got no ‘dog’ in the fight. Not sure what she liked about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she was a super Jeopardy-groupie, she'd never know or hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her clock is set to 6:00pm, and always manages to return to the house in time for the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
