Ken's doing a good job.

[Totally Tunsie]

There's probably no one who knows the Jeopardy! game better than Ken Jennings, and he's stepping up to the plate.

His opening tribute to Alex was lovely. It must have been difficult...he choked up several times.

1. He sure is.

2. I'm not watching, but my impression of him via social media...

is that he seems like an arrogant prick.

3. Perhaps you should watch.

Give him a chance. Nothing "arrogant" about him. He's actually quite pleasant in this role, and is doing well as host. The game is moving along at a good pace; no stalls or goofs as a first timer.

Vanna White should have done this well when she filled in on Wheel for Pat after his surgery'

ETA: As Abe Lincoln used to say, "Don't believe everything you see on social media."

4. You're Comparing Vanna White To Ken Jennings?

Ken Jennings won Millions on Jeopardy. Vanna turns letters as they light up.

5. I'm comparing one substitute host to another.

When he/she steps into the top spot, it helps to be prepared. Vanna has been on Wheel for 39 years, and should have the dialogue necessary for Wheel memorized by now, yet she stunk as a host. By now, she should be able to host the show blindfolded, hands behind her back, and sound asleep. (Not to mention, she makes a cool $10Million a year to turn those letters.)

Ken did wonderfully on Day#1. Good for him.

6. From all that I have seen of Ken Jennings he seems like a humble, shy guy

I am a bit surprised by your view of him. To each their own.

7. Night 2 and he seemed to be in charge

I know the shows are all taped on one day, so by Friday he should be rolling.

8. I liked the tribute but then I noticed that he was doing the opposite of what he said

and was getting too involved.
To early to draw a conclusion.
