Not sure if this is a thread but is anyone watching Jeopardy with the guest hosts?

WHo is your favorite? Anderson Cooper is fantastic at it but I doubt he would the gig FT given his CNN job. AC really has class, ability, compassion, and seems really nice.

I also like AAron Rodgers but I think more to look at.............sorry but he is easy on the eyes.
 
Some discussion has been taking place in the RIP Alex Trebek thread starting with first guest host Ken Jennings in January: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/rip-alex-trebek.107771/page-3#post-5929981

ETA link to a list of all the past, present & future guest hosts:

Anderson is my favourite so far. The only spot of his I don't like his when he tells contestants if they're correct or not. There sometimes seems to be too long of a pause, and while his tone is normally really friendly, it's almost a harsh tone when he says if they're correct or not. He just isn't natural there.

I also mostly really liked Aaron. He was natural when interacting with the contestants, and overall did a good job, HOWEVER he sounded like he was falling asleep when he was reading the clues. If he could get some more inflection into his voice for that, he'd be a frontrunner.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Ken. I normally don't like his voice, however he did really well with it when he was up there.

There's a HUGE push for LeVar Burton to be the host - a massive fan campaign is basically what got him his upcoming guest hosting gig. I think he'd be fantastic.

I'm also looking forward to Buzzy Cohen hosting the Tournament of Champions. Not everyone loved him as a contestant, but he made me chuckle when he'd do things like quote SNL's Sean Connery by writing 'You aren't rid of me yet, Trebek' on his Final Jeopardy card.

I'd like to see Brad Rutter have a shot at guest hosting. He has a good speaking voice, and is in entertainment, and while often forgotten when listing the Jeopardy greats, he was unbeaten (until last year's GOAT tournament) and is the highest Jeopardy money winner of all time (he's won over $5M on Jeopardy alone, Ken has won $4.5M on Jeopardy alone)
 
Ken was my least favorite. His voice is too high. 2nd fav is Aaron Rogers.

I'll cross-reference the posting. Thanks, Sylvia. Getting progressively more senile....

We should keep using the RIP Alex Trebek one in honor of Alex Trebek. :)
