I think Ken Jennings is doing a good job hosting Jeopardy.

I like him and know how much he loved and respected Alex. A good fit.

[PunksMom]

1. I agree!

[soothsayer]

2. Yeah, maybe he'll loosen up a bit

6. Big, big, shoes to fill. Breathe Ken.

3. Ken Jennings...

If the first reply was meant as Me, too” my reply is me three!

[CatMor]

4. I do too. I'm hoping he becomes the permanent emcee.

[Music Man]

5. He sure is.

No one can replace Alex Trebek, but Ken is doing as well as one could. Glad that, for the time being, the show is in the hands of someone who really loves the game (and loves knowledge). Ken's higher voice lacks the command that I'd prefer, but maybe I just feel that way because I'm so used to hearing Alex

Long live Jeopardy!

7. He did well (n/t)

8. It's way past time to get rid of that cheesy "answer in the form of a question" gimmick.

Not only is it unnecessary, but it doesn't really make sense. Very rarely would anybody respond with the board clue if somebody asked the question you just used.

For example:

IT'S THE COLOR OTHER THAN BLUE ON ARGENTINA'S FLAG.

"What it white?"

Honestly, who would EVER answer "it's the color other than blue on Argentina's flag" to the question "what is white?"

The game would lose nothing, in my opinion, if it just dropped that nonsense. And I watch Jeopardy quite often.

11. Heretic!!! Apostate!!!

I bet you make the car go backwards when you play Monopoly!

[yankeepants]

12. Hear! Hear!

[Goodheart]

13. LOL

I no longer play Monopoly. I'm a Puerto Rico fan.

9. He is different. Will give him a chance.

[ret5hd]

10. He was absolutely fine today...

I figure a month to settle in (4 or 5 recording sessions) and a year or so to make it his own.
