[QUOTE=Ralph3.;11203450]I thought it was funny when no one recognized Dave Chappel

Count me as one of those. I have heard his name before, but I have no idea what he looks like or what he is famous for.

Bad choice. Not a fan of his, too much commercialism.

I keep expecting to see him on a late night infomercial.

Ken doing very well as guest host.
Very likable and quick on his feet.

He has a quick answer for any players gaffe....and never sounds rude.

Ken Jennings was naturally the first person who hosted Jeopardy! in the wake of the death of Alex Trebek. He’s done a great job in his nearly six weeks as a host and he’s done more than one very fitting tribute to Trebek that has warmed our hearts.

But the appointment as Jeopardy! host was always meant to be temporary, and now, we finally know when Jennings will step down as temporary host and who is going to replace him when he gives up his day-time spot (at least for now.)

After Ken Jennings steps down on February 19th, he will be replaced as planned by the executive producer of Jeopardy! Named Mike Richards. It’s not clear how long Richards will hold the position of the guest host but either way, but we know who will be next after Richards takes his leave.

Veteran reporter Katie Couric will follow Mike Richards, and it looks like the rest of the schedule will be as follows, barring any of the hosts being mixed around: after Couric, the host will be wildcard NFL Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Mayim Bialik, a star of Big Bang Theory and comedian, will host after Rodgers. Other announced guest hosts include two CNN figures — Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sajay Gupta, Savannah Guthrie, a reporter from Today, and Dr. Oz.

I actually think Richards did a very good job. Jennings was not terrible. Big shoes to fill.

[stevej37]

^^^ Same here...I thought it would be hard to beat Ken, but Richards did it.
Should be very interesting when Rodgers takes the stand next week.

[URY914]

I'm 13 minutes into the show and not a Katie fan. Bring the producer back.

[1990C4S]

I have Richards in the lead by a long shot. But then Katie has only had one night, and I dislike Ken.

Katie did not help herself by calling the contestants 'brainiacs'...

When everyone has had their chance to host we need a poll.

[stevej37]

Katie getting another week?
She is definitely trying hard...but just not the type needed.

Trying too hard. Too much of a cheerleader thing going on. I do not hate her but Richards has been the best so far.

[stevej37]

^^^ agree

The best part of these auditions is yet to come.....Aaron Rodgers. Should be some good laughs.
