Jeopardy host

[Rorey]

I've said this before. I'd have no problem with Buzzy Cohen being the regular Jeopardy host.

1. I'm with you, especially after this week.

[True Dough]

2. NOBODY beats

Buzzy on the buzzer!

[Me.]

3. Agreed

[Scottie Mom]

4. Amen. I have so enjoyed watching him again.

He is my choice, by far, to be the new host.

[rurallib]

5. Yep - I hope he gets the shot

[blueinredohio]

6. Nope, I didn't care for him when he was a contestant.

Too arrogant imo.

[Brother Buzz]

7. If he landed the gig, he could jump-start the bespoke suit industry

8. K&R!

9. I think he or Jennings would be a good choice

Trebeck always had a mystique like you felt he could go on the other side of the podium and hold his own. I think thats sort of important setting jeopardy apart from lets make a deal or any other game show.

11. Sadly, Jennings would be in for some painful vetting.

I posted the below Wednesday on another thread where the poster had suggested KJ for the role:

Ken's run into problems with his past tweets also.

Wall Street Journal is reporting that's what cost KJ the hosting job. He'd be put through the ringer also.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the show’s golden boy, Ken Jennings, was set to be Alex Trebek’s host successor for the game show, only to lose the gig after old tweets resurfaced from his social-media account in late 2020. The tweets, which Jennings described as “unartful and insensitive” in an apology, included a widely circulated joke from 2014, which read, “nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.”

Assuming Buzzy Cohen doesn't have any skeletons in his social media closet or elsewhere, he gets my vote.

12. Welp

I guess theres no IQ ceiling to being a dumbass 🙁

13. Social media will be the death of many.

I keep stressing this point to my grandkids - to be careful about what they post b/c it may come back to haunt them many years later. A few careless words today can make a huge difference in the path of one's future. They're off to college...hopefully my words will ring in their ears!

14. truth

I tell the same thing to the HS seniors I teach. I'm glad it wasn't around when I was young and stupid. Not sure Ken Jennings can use that excuse.

16. I assumed that story was planted by Mike Richards

... who knew all along that he was going to choose himself and NOT Ken Jennings.

[Totally Tunsie]

10. Another vote for Buzzy!

Honestly, I really disliked him as a contestant, but he's won me over with his hosting abilities. He looks good, sounds good, and keeps the game moving along. He's by far my top choice.

15. I fully expect us soon to have a place for Jeopardy posts

Like we do for guns and Israel.
