"I'm sorry, Sean; that's: 'Therapists'."

"I'll take 'Anal Bum Cover' for six hundred, Alex."

"I'm sorry, Sean; that's: 'An Album Cover'."

"I'll take Catch the Semen for $800."

it was in your Mother's handwriting. Because she was holding the pen!!"

is how Ferrell always keeps a straight face! I don't know how the heck he does it, especially with Connery and Turd Ferguson.

...just the way your mother likes it, Trebek!

forgot the exact list, but people he hoped may follow him as host.

would be a nice change

Who is a hockey sportscaster for the LA Kings, sharp as a tack, and under thirty?

I am howling with laughter - that was too freaking good

They are full wits
They're as dumb as the vile MAGAcretin and his supporters

And two boys named Frank...

Of course Christopher Guest snapped most of them up so those guys I can still watch. 😍

...a natural pick, and someone who's connected with the show in the public mind...

I can't STAND Ken Jennings. He's nails on a chalkboard to me.

a demo and send it in.

not to mention unqualified

He has expressed interest in doing it and I think it would be fantastic.

Only drawback is he is 62 so who knows how long he wants to do it? The producers might be looking for another generational talent like Trebek that they can just hand the job to for 30 or 40 years.

If they wanted someone younger I’d go with Anne Hathaway just because

I'm sure Anne Hathaway would not be interested

its just..........

if I got to pick LOL she's my pick

how about someone from the Weather Channel?

has been mentioned in the past. I like him.

We have to pick a Democratic nominee for President, and now a nominee for Jeopardy? Oh, decisions, decisions.

p.s.: All the best to Alex. He is the best.

Yes

Great voice

People will burn out on him.

I don't watch all that stuff, but plenty of other people see him ad nauseam.

Watched him spell gel, jel until his producers corrected him - Steve is not the sharpest crayon in the box. ëvilgrin:

he's annoying as hell

disqualify him. We'll see - I do like him. He's calm, gentle and never supercilious or pompous and he and Trebek are both corny

Just noticed that - we asked America which GS host has the best hair in the business?

but he is in the age range I assume they'll be checking out

Replacing an institution is hard, and it takes someone who already has some bona fides. When Charles Osgood retired from CBS Sunday Morning, Jane Pauley was a tremendously good decision. Really fit the mold.

Of course, I hope Alex Trebek hosts as long as he wants/can. I love him, and Jeopardy is an important part of my life. So many people take Jeopardy seriously, and I hope if the time comes to pick a replacement, they get it right. It needs to be someone who conveys authority yet is exceptionally pleasant. Hard balance to strike.

admits that Jeopardy is an important part of their life.

Nearly everyone in my family has tried out for Jeopardy. Most of us have made it pretty far in the process. When my oldest daughter actually got on the show, it was a high point in our family history.

... I am familiar with the show. I think Art Flemming (?) was the host, once... the new host is going to become extremely wealthy, so I would like to host - but I don't think they would hire me... so, how about Pee Wee Herman? He can be serious and could also add some humor. Might be good for ratings, too!

Trivia doesn't have to be so stilted, for godsake.

1) Drop the "answer in the form of a question" gimmick. It's old, tired, meaningless.
2) Add quickie statements at the end of the game from all three contestants. The end of the show has always felt too impersonal.

That should age me

friends at home. Now, let's play Jeopardy!"

I watched it when it was on daytime TV. I did find this snippet of Alex featuring a clip from the pilot:

remember Art Fleming, and the little closing doors (for the clues)

on KMOX on Sunday nights into the 90s. Same Art Fleming.
One night he called his old friend Chuck Berry who lived in St. Charles to chat - radio gold.

Watching the original run is an earliest childhood memory.

I started watching, he's the one I'll always associate with Jeopardy.

or early 50s

Just googled and he's 57. I thought he was right in that late 40's/early 50's age range.

I used to walk home from elementary school for lunch ..... my mom had a B & W portable TV on a rolling stand in the kitchen, and while I ate my chicken noodle soup we would watch Jeopardy together ......

Boy that seems like 100 years ago!

We loved games and every imaginable quiz.

What is succeeding Alex Trebeck?

Folks will line up for this job

I'd rather be the host who followed the host who followed Alex.........

Good point

I think he'd be great. He's got exactly the low-key persona Alex Trebek has developed.

He’s the real reason I watch Chopped.

He's kind of non-distracting and he seems intelligent, too!

Quickly and clearly.

I find her a little bit on the giggly side

Sagal - Wait Wait don't tell me

Tiki has seemed to weather the storm after dumping his wife while she was pregnant. He offers a "new look" and he's apparently conservative. Merv Griffin productions clearly prefer righties - Sajak and Trebek.

The other person I’m unfamiliar with. I didn’t know Trebek was a right-winger. That’s disappointing.

Don't know either of those two

and he can afford the best treatment

"Good Eats" host?

I love Alton on Good Eats and Iron Chef but I think he is a little too hyper for Jeopardy.
The more I think about it, the more I like Higgins but he is 56 so they may be thinking of a younger replacement.

Marilu Henner.

She has the amazing condition known as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, or H-SAM, and I'd bet she'd be a natural for a show of this type. There are only 13 known cases worldwide.

She was playing in a Celebrity Jeopardy! game for charity against Jason Alexander and Lou Diamond Phillips.
