Alex Trebek/Jeopardy Tribute Thread

Holzhauer has no interest apparently.

Jennings and Buzzy Cohen - who did the Tournament of Champions - would be the former winners to host.

 

I’ve been Team Buzzy since I saw him as a contestant. He’s a little flashier than Ken, and I think he’s different enough from Alex that he won’t be some pale imitation. He’d just do his own thing.

But Jennings would be a solid choice and, I suspect he will be the next host.

 

I'm fine with both of those choices. Of the guest hosts, I thought Haber and Bialik were the best, but if they're A's to me, then Jennings, Buzzy and a couple others were solid B's.

 

The repeats of old shows, with Trebek as host, that have been being shown the past 10 days or so, have been jarring in a way.

Not liking it. It's time to move on.

 

That’s been going on for months.

 

“Wrong. And stop bein’ a jagoff the way you’re answerin.”

 

"C" ya later, Mayim?

 

Imagine MSNBC's search for the next Rachel Maddow will be just as interesting. Anyone short of Michelle Obama and it will be a let down. For a "progressive" channel, MSNBC is pretty monochromatic and straight. They should probably reboot their entire primetime. Put Williams' news at 7, the new person at 8, Chris Hayes 9 and O'Donnell at 10.

 

Trebek was terrible at the interviews. Reinforced watching one of the reruns this week.

Can we just get on with a host and a regular schedule?

I'm fine with buzzy if he loses the asshole glasses.

 

I kind of loved when Trebek didn't give a shit / no sold a guest's story.

 

My favorite was from a year or two ago, when a guy told him that he once sold socks to Meryl Streep at some department store in Albany. I felt bad for the contestant afterward, because the response was extremely dismissive.
