6. She's doing fine.

She's used to putting people at ease as well as on the spot. . .

7. these guest hosts are kind of fun to watch.

Obviously they have put in a lot of work to keep the game going and lively.

I am really enjoying it.

Last week's host was like an off the shelf model of the perfect game-show host. He had the patter and the facial expressions. I know he's the producer.

So I hope this keeps up for a while. I still like Jennings maybe because he's familiar, but I am fickle.

8. I remember being heartbroken when Art Fleming retired. n/t

[Phentex]

11. This was my mother...

She was very upset when Art died. I think they may have had some guests hosts before Alex settled in and she COULD NOT STAND HIM. Until she began to love him. Then it was as if he'd always been the host.

Most people don't remember the name Art Fleming.

[Harker]

12. Alex had been there so long that Art was largely forgotten.

My strongest memory is of Art cracking an arcane joke that would draw only one person's applause. He would invariably hold one hand aloft and say, "thank you, Mother!"

I did not much like the advent of the electronic board, either. I wasn't very receptive to change then.

9. I thought that she did a good job

10. She did ok, a bit stiff.

Needs to loosen up, have some fun.
