Ken Jennings is doing pretty good as host. Seems easy for him.

He wasn't bad, I could definitely see him growing into the role. I think for me I just couldn't get past it not being Trebek

Ken Jennings has been taking a hit on comments he has made in the past on social media. Seems there always somebody ready to take you down if you start to succeed. The one host replacement that I never got was replacing Bob Barker with Drew Carrey on The Price Is Right. Caught an episode the other day and still don't get it.

I thought he did fantastic and his opening statement regarding Alex was perfect. For someone who apparently doesn't have any prior experience hosting a show, he seemed a natural. Obviously Trebek shoes are gonna be pretty impossible to fill but Ken did an excellent job.

It's a shame really, being judged by today's rules on actions from history is completely unfair. I'm not defending what he said then (I actually don't know what he said, but I have heard there is something in his past social media) but what's to say that he feels the same way today, or maybe it's context at the time was different than it is now. I'm sick of all of this stupid cancel culture BS.

This is Ken Jennings last week as guest host. Next is the Executive Producer of the show for a week or two. Then a slew of liberal actors and news celebrities. I’ll watch next week, then I’ll be done watching for awhile. I am going to the Jeopardy website and raise holy hell about their host selection. Hopefully Ken Jennings will become the permanent host.

Guys.... You are starting to scare me.... If any of you mention The Bachelor I am gone... LOL...My mother is 80+ and watches game shows all day when she isn't losing my inheritance at the Coconut Creek Casinos. The only shows I watch are Car related, Ridiculousness , Chicago Fire and PD. Game shows and Reality shows are banned in my homes! The news I do not trust and because I am a dedicated TiVo user I have not watched a commercial in nearly two and half decades.

Yeah I’ve been impressed with him; considering how under fire he has been and how intimidating it must have been to follow Alex Trebek, he’s done very well.
