Why does being good at the game make you a good host? I’m not saying he isn’t, but being a good host requires an entirely different skill set than being a good player. Bialik was there because her brand is intellectual nerdiness that Jeopardy wants to leverage, but also because she’s been making TV off and on her whole life. That kinda feels more relevant to the skillset required to making TV.
