    We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!.

    Should’ve just been him all along. It’s wild that this took three years to happen. I can’t believe they managed to fumble this transition when they had Ken the entire time.

      Pope and Antipope

    She doesn’t deserve hate and animosity, but this was definitely the right decision. Her pacing and flow never worked for the game, while Ken seemed to take to it much more adeptly. His hosting feels natural and easy and he comes off amiable and charismatic.

      No? A science-denier and anti-vaxxer who shills her brand of vitamin supplements? I’m sorry, I think she deserves exactly that and I’m glad she’s fucking gone.

        In the 90s, Blossom.

        In the 00s/10s, Sheldon's annoying girlfriend.

        In the 20s, the antivaxxer bitch who stole Jeopardy from LaVar Burton.

        I think this is a bit like trying to replace Richard from Pointless

    The spirit of Jeopardy and the legacy of Trebek would be forever changed by using a host with charisma. Ken Jennings has the perfect “I stitch the day of the week into my underwear” vibe that essential for reminding people to phrase their responses as a question.

      But both Trebek and Jennings do have charisma.

        Trebek’s rizz is nostalgia for the past, Jennings’ is hope for the future.

    Thank God. I used to skip the episodes she hosted.

      As someone that stopped watching after Alex stopped hosting, what’s wrong with her being the host? Like what is so bad about it?

        Hosting and Acting are two different skill sets, She never got good at keeping the flow of the game going.

    Thank you Jeopardy, this went on much too long. Hopefully they’ll boot her from the Alexa version also. Her episodes felt absolutely clunky.

    ETA until they do a special guest episode with AI Trebek trained on every episode of Jeopardy?

    Finally. She may be an intelligent neuroscientist, but she has the personality of a wet sponge.

    YAY! I like Mayim’s acting but never enjoyed her hosting Jeopardy.
