I have watched Jeopardy forever (I am 86) and I believe Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. He is doing well and will only continue to get better. As far as Cooper, Guthrie, Couric, I will not watch them, sorry, they have turned more then half of the country off with their far left views. Why waste months that people will be turning the show off, and maybe won’t return. You have a winner with Ken, snd I believe that is who Alex would want as his replacement.

I think that Jennings is a little too snarky when a contestant gives the wrong answer.
Myrtle R Steele - 5 years ago
Who other than Ken Jennings could replace Alex Trebek permanently?? Ken has a long history with Jeopardy which gives him so much credibility. I have become accustomed to Ken's host personality and I kinda know what to expect from him ie no surprises. Ken interacts well with contestants and that will only get better. I can live with other hosts every now and then but not for long periods of time.

Ken is great. The political hacks you have coming are not worthy to even have their names mentioned here.
Kraig Krumm - 5 years ago
Ken has improved a great deal since his first day as host. If you have been a Jeopardy fan since the early days of Art Fleming, you would realize that as time goes on, the host gets comfortable and more secure in the position. Unlike others here, I will continue to watch the show no matter who hosts it, but I must say that the minute politics or political ideologies start to appear, I will be gone! To paraphrase Joe Friday, " Just the facts". Score me for Ken as permanent host!!
Robert Mallis - 5 years ago
You do not need to look any further. We really like Ken and feel he had a special connection with ALEX

I try very hard to be fair and give people a chance. Ken Jennings simply gets on my last nerve and I can't wait till his stint is over. Looking forward to Mike the producer who is up next at bat. Hopefully his performance will knock it out of the park. If Jennings is the final choice, I will probably stop watching. And like many of you, I have been a lifelong viewer.

Ken Jennings is the best of all the supposed future hosts.
Surely monotone Cooper, & Dr.Oz Couric or Aaron Rodgers ? will not be anywhere near Jennings. The guy is Jeopardy plain & simple unless you want to talk Phil Donahue or Vin Scully out of retirement
Ken Jennings is doing a fabulous job. Let him stay on as the new host. I may not watch anymore shows. It's hard enough not seeing Alex Trebek every night.
Glo - 5 years ago
No to Ken Jennings. Yes, he’s super smart, and being so just doesn’t cut it as a host. He is too stiff, and maybe a bit too nerdy. I’m not comparing him to anyone, he wasn’t a personality when he was a contestant, and he’s certainly not one now. He’ll never be “ warm and fuzzy.” I tolerate him, and am hoping they don’t keep him, show is soooooo bland.
Shellie - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings IS THE BEST!!! No one can replace Alex. Trebek,
But he is filling some BIG SHOES and doing a FANTASTIC JOB,
Keep Ken and make every body happy!!!!
Eileen Richardson - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings has been adequate but that's about the best I can say. He does indeed seem to be rushing through his dialogue, and his tone is off-putting. Other guest hosts must be given a chance to show their capabilities/weaknesses. Perhaps Mr. Jennings will indeed emerge as the best choice, but I have to believe that Mr. Trebek would encourage a thorough exploration.
Rcg74 - 5 years ago
Really, Anderson Cooper ! He is so far left, he will never balance himself on the podium ! Ken is doing a fabulous job in a time when Alex was king, and COVID-19 changed our world ????
These other guest host have other careers, and are not interested in permanently holding this prestigious position. Stop wasting air time and let's get back to Jeopardy!
Ken is my choice. If he is not given the permanent position, I will no longer watch. Could not imagine a celeb doing a better jon then Ken.. Not even close!
John McCloud - 5 years ago
If Ken Jennings would accept to permanently take the job, it should be his.
Yes, he does seem a bit rushed at times but he does keep the show moving at a good pace. That is smoothing out as the days progress.
Good job Ken.
Love how he keeps Alex in the show.

I think Ken Jennings has done a terrific job replacing Alex Trebek. He has some very nice antidotes when a contestant answers correctly. And follows through nicely when he is kibitzing with contestants after the commercials. Ken would fit in nicely into your show!

Carol Hoffman - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings is the perfect choice to be permanent new Jeopardy host. I also feel if someone else is picked, I will not view Jeopardy any more. Plus, Jennings became "the greatest" player, and his knowledge of many subjects equals Alex Trebeck in so many ways. He is sincere, great with contestants, and of good moral character. I pray he is the choice here.
Nona V - 5 years ago
There is something about Kens voice....he sounds like he needs to swallow, and he always sounds RUSHED. I agree with some of what Joanne and Michael M. said. Maybe he IS nnervous but maybe they should try a few other people for the job and not neccesarily an on-air news presenter. I am quite sure that there are many in LA who also could do the job. Ken just sounds too tense.
Susan Bowman - 5 years ago
Ken is doing a fabulous job. We thought we wouldn't watch Jeopardy after Alex, but now we look forward to the show every night. Hoping that Ken remains the host, not looking forward to anyone else trying to fill that host position. Probably wouldn't watch it.
Rebecca Bugg - 5 years ago
Jennings is doing a fabulous job. Some of the other people might do half as well, but for heaven's sake, avoid those who are openly political. I am tired of people on the left and right spouting off. Please let us enjoy our trivia without political commentary. And after Katie Couric's recent disappointing comments, I won't be watching that week. In fact, although I love jeopardy, I will turn it off for anyone who spouts off.
Susan K Snow - 5 years ago
I was very hesitant when I first heard that Ken was being considered to replace Alex, even temporarily. I have watched this show for decades and was disappointed with the list of people who had been chosen to take turns hosting. I wanted Meredith Vierra to be on the list because, in my opinion, she has everything it takes to be the perfect host. However, as time has gone by, I have to admit that I've warmed up to Ken's style and if Meredith isn't given the opportunity to guest host, which I think is a big mistake, then Ken is the right person for the job. He's done very well considering the shoes he had to fill.
JO ANN SHERRILL - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings has been an excellent host. He is humble and lets the game be the important factor. We don't need celebrities from various venues be hosts. Mr Jennings will be a valuable replacement.
Anto Lin - 5 years ago

Howard - 5 years ago
I thought than Ken did a frat job the first night. As the weeks have gone by, he has done an even better job. He is fantastic with not only his relationship with the contestants, but uses his knowledge, and best of all his adlibbing (sp). He communication with the contestants and TV audience is appreciated. He is not Alex, but Ken shows his own personality without changing the show. He believes that the show is the contestants, and demonstrate it wonderfully. I vote for Ken Jennings as the permanent host. I even thought he would do a good job even before he was announced. Ken Jennings has earned the job as Jeopardy Host.
Sherrie carrabine - 5 years ago

I thought the show would be finished once Alex was gone. I have to admit I miss Alex after watching Jeopardy for next to forever, but Ken is doing a great job hosting the show. If you want Jeopardy to continue as the hit it was with Alex, keep Ken. With Ken it will be the only way I will watch Jeopardy as I once did.
Connie Dodd - 5 years ago
Though Alex can never be replaced Ken has that same quality that makes him a pleasure to watch and listen to. And I feel he would be a great replacement.
Dell - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings is a direct link to Alex Trebek, who was and is much loved. He is doing a good job. The only other person I want to see out of the potential list is Mike Richards. Please give him a chance since he is also a direct link to Alex. Both of these gentlemen know what it takes for Jeopardy to continue in the same intelligent manner.
Shirley Weinschel - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings should absolutely continue as permanent Jeopardy host. He’s the contestant who has the longest winning streak & closest connection to Alex. And is becoming quite comfortable as host. I have NO interest in watching ANY of the announced guest hosts after Ken’s 6 weeks end. They will destroy Alex’s legacy. This beloved program will sadly & quickly come to an end. ????
Bobbie - 5 years ago
Way to many choices. If they all do a month, it will take quite awhile to wade through them all. Appreciate the efforts. Ken is my choice.

Please do not ruin the show that my husband and I have watched for years by bringing in political guest hosts!! Ken Jennings is a fantastic host and definitely deserves the job permanently!!

Ken is doing an awesome job. He was an awesome contestant. I have been watching Jeopardy for decades. I miss Alex, there are big shoes to fill....he was the perfect host! However if Katie Couric, or any so called commentators take over, I will NOT watch anymore!
Please keep Ken! Make Alex proud!
Henry Bringolf - 5 years ago
I feel that Ken is doing a fantastic job in stepping directly into Alex’s shoes from the very first show and every show there after. I don’t see any other person on your list of candidates coming close to Ken. So please make him a permanent host and don’t waist any more time looking to find some one better since you will not find a better jeopardy host.

Looks like the majority of people have expressed their desire to see Ken Jennings remain permanent host of Jeopardy. Alex would approve. Many dislike Katie Couric for making unAmerican comments and we are in agreement of not continuing to watch our beloved Jeopardy if she appears as host. Please consider this.

I miss Alex. We all do. I never cared at all for Ken. In the GOAT tournament I was rooting for James H. I‘m warming up to Ken now & I think he he is doing a great job!! He has a love & a passion for this game. Can you say that of Katie Citicorp (ugh)— I won’t watch with her or Dr Oz — don’t care for him either. We associate Jeopardy with Ken & that’s how it should be. He is getting better & better. I do hope he is the final choice. Bringing in a myriad of guest hosts is not the solution.

Mike Sherman - 5 years ago
Have watched the show from back in the day when Alex first hosted Jeopardy. I was unsure about Ken becoming permanent host until I heard his heart felt love for Alex and the show.
Ever since his first week getting into his groove, Ken has done an excellent job. I have no interest in seeing the other hosts and believe they may kill Jeopardy's following. I believe that Ken Jennings should be named the new Jeopardy host effective immediately.
Pam Rudolph - 5 years ago
Please do not keep Ken Jennings or you will lose viewers. His voice is irritating, & he's so hyper, he makes us hyper! He doesn't come close to the class level, nor the charisma, of Alex Trebek. You need to give us at least someone close! Sorry, but with Ken you are lessening the quality & class of your Show. It will become just another Game Show instead of Jeopardy! We do not feel that a screaming liberal would be a good pick for the Show either! There should be NO POLITICS on Jeopardy! We would really like to keep watching, so please find someone that speaks eloquently, that is charismatic & that doesn't talk so much! Again, through no fault of his own, Ken's voice is most irritating.
Sherrie Cata - 5 years ago
My husband and I have watched Jeopardy every night for years. We watch reruns on Hulu on Sundays.
Watching Ken Jennings during the week has brought much comfort and stability to the show following the death of our beloved Alex Trebek.
Ken just gets better and better at hosting the show each week. To us, he is the natural choice to fill some pretty big shoes left by Alex. Ken's love for the game, his vast wealth of knowledge and ability to engage with the players and audience are admirable.
Lynn - 5 years ago
Alex held Ken Jennings in high regard and I believe Ken would get his vote. He is doing a wonderful job recognizing no one will ever replace Alex but will honor his memory. The news media should not be hosting. I can get enough of them as it is. Don’t need it on my favorite show.
Herb - 5 years ago

Ken is the man for the job. Not sure why in the world we need yet another women to take over. Not interested in Katy C. Or S. Guthrie or any other female. Don't watch programs with either of these women. Why not let well enough alone? Ken has the knowledge,. Wit, and love of the game. Please, please pay attention to what your viewers are telling you. I don't want to give up one of the few great, shows on. We have to put up with so much garbage or turn the set off. Just hope Ken would accept the position. Go Ken!!

Charlotte - 5 years ago
When Alex Trebek start out on Jeopardy he was not well known but the viewers got used to him. He was it a Big Name sp full of himself. That is why viewers liked him. Smart intelligent and great knowledge of language. You want to put on some names that we viewers are frankly sick of. This show Jeopardy is not about big name guest Hosts. No it is not. If you think adding these well known personalities you are making a big mistake. Jeopardy is not the type of show that the Host is what we are watching. The contestants are the Stars here. Ken Jennings has shown us that he will be the best.
Please our Country has seen enough of voters in our life time. If you that are the decision makers for the show think that we viewers really what big name mega bucks star, you are very wrong!
I just had to put in my two cents worth. Thank you.

Ken is the OBVIOUS CHOICE as stated by so many who took the time to let you know that. Keep Ken. Alex would be very happy with that replacement.
Amber Phillips - 5 years ago
Ken Jennings is doing a great job AND he has a long history of appearances on Jeopardy as a contestant. I'm not interested in seeing Katie Couric or Savannah Guthrie as host. There is no need to rotate hosts, but if you HAD to rotate, you need to get Jeopardy James and Brad. My recommendation-keep Ken and pay him well to stay!
Linda C - 5 years ago
Personally, Ken is doing a fantastic job. No one will ever replace Alex, but let’s face it, Alex can not come back to host the show. Ken interacts well with the contestants. He has his own sense of humour and is never at a loss for words when interacting with the contestants. He is able to relate to whatever the contestants talk about. When the other hosts have finished their stint on the show we will wait to see if Ken will return permanently. If he does, we will then continue to watch Jeopardy like we once did.
Dale - 5 years ago

Ken Jennings is the best choice in becoming Jeopardy's next permanent host since Alex's death. It was an easy transition to watch. It was like watching a mini Alex as Jeopardy's host. Ken is smart and knows the ins and out of the game of "Jeopardy". It would be an asset to the show and it's fans to have Ken Jennings as the next permanent Jeopardy Host. With due respect I wont watch anyone other than Ken Jennings!

Its not a celebrity show, its the greatest trivia show ever. Put your celebs in if you wish to piss off most of the audience and lose viewers. As for me, I feel you have Alex's best replacement with Ken.
Laura Kalenak - 5 years ago
Ken is the obvious choice and he seems to getting more comfortable in the role everyday.
As a long time contestant himself he can identify with the contestants and interacts very well.
Choosing those celebrities as replacements, will drive viewers away, me for one.
For those who feel his voice is scratchy or irritating, a few voice lesson could easily solve that.
Dawn Edwards - 5 years ago
Please keep Ken as the host of Jeopardy. He is doing an outstanding job and it’s apparent that he’s much enjoying the hosting which is quite contagious. Our family is rooting for Ken. I don’t like the trialing of a lineup of guest hosts. I like the familiar face of Ken who obviously loves Jeopardy and we love him.

Ken Jennings gets my vote. I’m in my 70’’s & have been watching Jeopardy for decades. Very true no one can ever fill Alex’s shoes, but Ken pays sincere homage to Alex & has all the credentials to be the new Host. Please NO celebrity or political hosts. You will surely lose viewers. RIP Alex Trebeck.

As Ken said himself, you can't replace Alex. Not because he is the leading champion it means that he's good. He is doing his utmost to become the next host of jeopardy, but he misses a lot and the most is... CHARISMA!!!

Ken is missing the natural grace, elegance, and humor of Alex.
Looking forward to seeing other guest hosts.
I have watched Jeopardy forever (I am 86) and I believe Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. He is doing well and will only continue to get better. As far as Cooper, Guthrie, Couric, I will not watch them, sorry, they have turned more then half of the country off with their far left views. Why waste months that people will be turning the show off, and maybe won’t return. You have a winner with Ken, snd I believe that is who Alex would want as his replacement.

I try very hard to be fair and give people a chance. Ken Jennings simply gets on my last nerve and I can't wait till his stint is over. Looking forward to Mike the producer who is up next at bat. Hopefully his performance will knock it out of the park. If Jennings is the final choice, I will probably stop watching. And like many of you, I have been a lifelong viewer.
I will not watch Jeopardy while Katie Couric is on.
We vote for Ken Jennings. He is doing a great job.
Ken Jennings is the best of all the supposed future hosts.
Surely monotone Cooper, & Dr.Oz Couric or Aaron Rodgers ? will not be anywhere near Jennings. The guy is Jeopardy plain & simple unless you want to talk Phil Donahue or Vin Scully out of retirement
KEEP KEN!!!HE IS PERFECT FOR THE JOB!!
Ken Jennings is doing a fabulous job. Let him stay on as the new host. I may not watch anymore shows. It's hard enough not seeing Alex Trebek every night.
No to Ken Jennings. Yes, he’s super smart, and being so just doesn’t cut it as a host. He is too stiff, and maybe a bit too nerdy. I’m not comparing him to anyone, he wasn’t a personality when he was a contestant, and he’s certainly not one now. He’ll never be “ warm and fuzzy.” I tolerate him, and am hoping they don’t keep him, show is soooooo bland.
Ken Jennings IS THE BEST!!! No one can replace Alex. Trebek,
But he is filling some BIG SHOES and doing a FANTASTIC JOB,
Keep Ken and make every body happy!!!!
Ken Jennings has been adequate but that's about the best I can say. He does indeed seem to be rushing through his dialogue, and his tone is off-putting. Other guest hosts must be given a chance to show their capabilities/weaknesses. Perhaps Mr. Jennings will indeed emerge as the best choice, but I have to believe that Mr. Trebek would encourage a thorough exploration.
Really, Anderson Cooper ! He is so far left, he will never balance himself on the podium ! Ken is doing a fabulous job in a time when Alex was king, and COVID-19 changed our world ????
These other guest host have other careers, and are not interested in permanently holding this prestigious position. Stop wasting air time and let's get back to Jeopardy!
Ken is my choice. If he is not given the permanent position, I will no longer watch. Could not imagine a celeb doing a better jon then Ken.. Not even close!

Yes, he does seem a bit rushed at times but he does keep the show moving at a good pace. That is smoothing out as the days progress.

Love how he keeps Alex in the show.
Ken Jennings does a good job. Excited to see the other guest hosts, except Aaron Rodgers. Lol!
Ken is doing a great job! Will not be watching when Katie,AndersonCooper,and others. May be done with jeopardy.

I didn’t like ken Jennings at all, boring, no personality at all

Absolutely must make Ken a permanent fixture. I never watched Jeopardy until he
took over. Doubt I will ever watch it again after he is replaced. he is natural and
a PERFECT replacement! I love watching him!!
Please keep Ken. The "stars" of jeopardy should be the contestants, not the host!
Keep Ken! He’s doing a great job and has settled in to the job! I don’t look forward to many of the celeb hosts.

Will not be watching when all the other guest hosts are on especially Katie Couric!!
Ken Jennings 100%. Katie , Savannah & Anderson are not worthy of this hosting Jeopardy. Just hand the baton to Ken. Like other commentators, I will NEVER watch Jeopardy again should you another.
I think Ken Jennings has done a terrific job replacing Alex Trebek. He has some very nice antidotes when a contestant answers correctly. And follows through nicely when he is kibitzing with contestants after the commercials. Ken would fit in nicely into your show!
Please keep Ken! He is doing a fantastic job
I think Ken has done an exceptional job of hosting Jeopardy! I do feel like I would need to see all guest hosts to be able to decide on who would be the Best to try and fill the shoes of Alex Trebek!
I’m a very impressed with ken he’s doing a great job I hope he becomes permanent.
Ken Jennings is the perfect choice to be permanent new Jeopardy host. I also feel if someone else is picked, I will not view Jeopardy any more. Plus, Jennings became "the greatest" player, and his knowledge of many subjects equals Alex Trebeck in so many ways. He is sincere, great with contestants, and of good moral character. I pray he is the choice here.
There is something about Kens voice....he sounds like he needs to swallow, and he always sounds RUSHED. I agree with some of what Joanne and Michael M. said. Maybe he IS nnervous but maybe they should try a few other people for the job and not neccesarily an on-air news presenter. I am quite sure that there are many in LA who also could do the job. Ken just sounds too tense.
Ken is doing a fabulous job. We thought we wouldn't watch Jeopardy after Alex, but now we look forward to the show every night. Hoping that Ken remains the host, not looking forward to anyone else trying to fill that host position. Probably wouldn't watch it.
Jennings is doing a fabulous job. Some of the other people might do half as well, but for heaven's sake, avoid those who are openly political. I am tired of people on the left and right spouting off. Please let us enjoy our trivia without political commentary. And after Katie Couric's recent disappointing comments, I won't be watching that week. In fact, although I love jeopardy, I will turn it off for anyone who spouts off.
I was very hesitant when I first heard that Ken was being considered to replace Alex, even temporarily. I have watched this show for decades and was disappointed with the list of people who had been chosen to take turns hosting. I wanted Meredith Vierra to be on the list because, in my opinion, she has everything it takes to be the perfect host. However, as time has gone by, I have to admit that I've warmed up to Ken's style and if Meredith isn't given the opportunity to guest host, which I think is a big mistake, then Ken is the right person for the job. He's done very well considering the shoes he had to fill.
Ken Jennings has been an excellent host. He is humble and lets the game be the important factor. We don't need celebrities from various venues be hosts. Mr Jennings will be a valuable replacement.
Please keep ken the GOAT. I will not watch if Ken is not the host.
I thought than Ken did a frat job the first night. As the weeks have gone by, he has done an even better job. He is fantastic with not only his relationship with the contestants, but uses his knowledge, and best of all his adlibbing (sp). He communication with the contestants and TV audience is appreciated. He is not Alex, but Ken shows his own personality without changing the show. He believes that the show is the contestants, and demonstrate it wonderfully. I vote for Ken Jennings as the permanent host. I even thought he would do a good job even before he was announced. Ken Jennings has earned the job as Jeopardy Host.
Ken Jennings is doing a wonderful job as guest host. I personally want him to be the new host of jeopardy.if he is not the new host I will stop watching jeopardy.
Yes, I agree that Ken should be the permanent host. Don't think I'll be watching the other guest hosts, other than the producer.
I thought the show would be finished once Alex was gone. I have to admit I miss Alex after watching Jeopardy for next to forever, but Ken is doing a great job hosting the show. If you want Jeopardy to continue as the hit it was with Alex, keep Ken. With Ken it will be the only way I will watch Jeopardy as I once did.
Though Alex can never be replaced Ken has that same quality that makes him a pleasure to watch and listen to. And I feel he would be a great replacement.
Ken Jennings is a direct link to Alex Trebek, who was and is much loved. He is doing a good job. The only other person I want to see out of the potential list is Mike Richards. Please give him a chance since he is also a direct link to Alex. Both of these gentlemen know what it takes for Jeopardy to continue in the same intelligent manner.
Ken Jennings should absolutely continue as permanent Jeopardy host. He’s the contestant who has the longest winning streak & closest connection to Alex. And is becoming quite comfortable as host. I have NO interest in watching ANY of the announced guest hosts after Ken’s 6 weeks end. They will destroy Alex’s legacy. This beloved program will sadly & quickly come to an end. ????
Way to many choices. If they all do a month, it will take quite awhile to wade through them all. Appreciate the efforts. Ken is my choice.
Please do not ruin the show that my husband and I have watched for years by bringing in political guest hosts!! Ken Jennings is a fantastic host and definitely deserves the job permanently!! I, for one will definitely not be watching anymore when you bring in the guest political hosts you have lined up !!
Please keep Ken Jennings bad permanent host if he so wishes. I will not watch the celebs and not-so-smart hosts later. Ken is mine and Alex's choice. Smart trivia is my choice, not whiz-bang show-offs.
Even though there will never be another “Alex”, Ken has done a wonderful job in hosting Jeopardy. I for one would love to see him as the permanent host and I believe Alex would be quite pleased and has be smiling down from Heaven.
Ken is doing an awesome job. He was an awesome contestant. I have been watching Jeopardy for decades. I miss Alex, there are big shoes to fill....he was the perfect host! However if Katie Couric, or any so called commentators take over, I will NOT watch anymore!
Please keep Ken! Make Alex proud!
I feel that Ken is doing a fantastic job in stepping directly into Alex’s shoes from the very first show and every show there after. I don’t see any other person on your list of candidates coming close to Ken. So please make him a permanent host and don’t waist any more time looking to find some one better since you will not find a better jeopardy host.

Keep Ken Jennings as s permanent host. He is fantastic keeping everyone engaged, players and audiences!!
Ken Jennings is doing a very profession job keeping Jeopardy moving during the show. He is not trying to be Alex Trebek but respecting his 36 years, Jennings is paceing the the game well. He will make the show move forward continue for years.

Ken has done a wonderful job way beyond all expectations. I thought him rather "stiff" as a contestant but natural and personable as a host. Keep him. He is a worthy successor to Alex.
Looks like the majority of people have expressed their desire to see Ken Jennings remain permanent host of Jeopardy. Alex would approve. Many dislike Katie Couric for making unAmerican comments and we are in agreement of not continuing to watch our beloved Jeopardy if she appears as host. Please consider this.
Can't stand Ken Jennings. ???????? My vote is for Bean Dad.
Left comment but don’t see it listed??
Ken is doing a great job. He has the right temperament, is intelligent, well spoken and sure knows the game!
Ken Jennings is doing and outstanding job. I find him a very easy transition. I have no use for those who have political agendas outside of Jeopardy. Thanks for asking!
Alex wanted him. He's better each day and will continue to improve. Smartest one on the list.
I think Ken is doing a great job and would be the perfect choice. I tell you one thing I will NOT be watching when Katie Couric hosts. Wish you would pull her from the list as well as Anderson Cooper.
I miss Alex. We all do. I never cared at all for Ken. In the GOAT tournament I was rooting for James H. I‘m warming up to Ken now & I think he he is doing a great job!! He has a love & a passion for this game. Can you say that of Katie Citicorp (ugh)— I won’t watch with her or Dr Oz — don’t care for him either. We associate Jeopardy with Ken & that’s how it should be. He is getting better & better. I do hope he is the final choice. Bringing in a myriad of guest hosts is not the solution.
Without a doubt, everybody I talk to agrees he's your man for this job!
No need to put us through more candidates - wasting time!
Ken is doing a great job as host of Jeopardy. I must admit I had made my mind up that he wouldn’t be the right person, but he has proven me wrong. Ken Ken Ken
Have watched the show from back in the day when Alex first hosted Jeopardy. I was unsure about Ken becoming permanent host until I heard his heart felt love for Alex and the show.
Ever since his first week getting into his groove, Ken has done an excellent job. I have no interest in seeing the other hosts and believe they may kill Jeopardy's following. I believe that Ken Jennings should be named the new Jeopardy host effective immediately.
Please do not keep Ken Jennings or you will lose viewers. His voice is irritating, & he's so hyper, he makes us hyper! He doesn't come close to the class level, nor the charisma, of Alex Trebek. You need to give us at least someone close! Sorry, but with Ken you are lessening the quality & class of your Show. It will become just another Game Show instead of Jeopardy! We do not feel that a screaming liberal would be a good pick for the Show either! There should be NO POLITICS on Jeopardy! We would really like to keep watching, so please find someone that speaks eloquently, that is charismatic & that doesn't talk so much! Again, through no fault of his own, Ken's voice is most irritating.
My husband and I have watched Jeopardy every night for years. We watch reruns on Hulu on Sundays.
Watching Ken Jennings during the week has brought much comfort and stability to the show following the death of our beloved Alex Trebek.
Ken just gets better and better at hosting the show each week. To us, he is the natural choice to fill some pretty big shoes left by Alex. Ken's love for the game, his vast wealth of knowledge and ability to engage with the players and audience are admirable.
Alex held Ken Jennings in high regard and I believe Ken would get his vote. He is doing a wonderful job recognizing no one will ever replace Alex but will honor his memory. The news media should not be hosting. I can get enough of them as it is. Don’t need it on my favorite show.
How do you replace an icon? With Ken Jennings !
I think Ken is doing a great job! He relates well to the contestants, is intelligent, and has a good sense of humor. He is doing his best to honor Alex, whom we all loved and respected and will always miss. He deserves to be permanent host!
Ken Jennings is doing an amazing job. I have watched him daily. His confidence and comfort level continue to grow. Give the job to KEN JENNINGS.
Ken has done an amazing job hosting Jeopardy! I was so surprised! He keeps the show moving along with out a glitch.
Please do not bore us with the Katie Courics and Savannah Guthries of the media when you have a gem right in front of you.
I think Ken Jennings is doing a fantastic job as the host. He relates to the contestants, has fun and it is a very relax program. I would love to see him become the permanent host.
Ken is doing a great job! Please him. Will not be watching when others host especially Couric and Cooper.
Ken has done an outstanding job as host. He has interacted well with the contestants has a knowledge of what they are facing. I like his kind caring manor. I will not watch it if you have Katie and Savannah host. I think Alex would be proud of Ken.
Ken is the man for the job. Not sure why in the world we need yet another women to take over. Not interested in Katy C. Or S. Guthrie or any other female. Don't watch programs with either of these women. Why not let well enough alone? Ken has the knowledge,. Wit, and love of the game. Please, please pay attention to what your viewers are telling you. I don't want to give up one of the few great, shows on. We have to put up with so much garbage or turn the set off. Just hope Ken would accept the position. Go Ken!!
I absolutely feel Ken Jennings should be the permanent host. No one will be able to “replace” Alex, and we don’t want that anyway. Ken is very personable and we enjoy watching him and especially the contestants. He is the perfect choice.
I love Ken Jennings—I’ve been a fan ever since his first appearance. He is doing a great job and has a tremendous amount of respect for what Alex did for the show. He takes it seriously and I think most people want him there.
Ken is awesome. Let’s make him the permanent host.
Keep Ken. He is doing a good job. The rest of the scheduled guest hosts are political jokes. The integrity of this show will suffer greatly. News people are all liars. Don't ruin a good show. We could watch the others on their news shows. All lying partisan hacks.
When Alex Trebek start out on Jeopardy he was not well known but the viewers got used to him. He was it a Big Name sp full of himself. That is why viewers liked him. Smart intelligent and great knowledge of language. You want to put on some names that we viewers are frankly sick of. This show Jeopardy is not about big name guest Hosts. No it is not. If you think adding these well known personalities you are making a big mistake. Jeopardy is not the type of show that the Host is what we are watching. The contestants are the Stars here. Ken Jennings has shown us that he will be the best.
Please our Country has seen enough of voters in our life time. If you that are the decision makers for the show think that we viewers really what big name mega bucks star, you are very wrong!
I just had to put in my two cents worth. Thank you.
Ken is the OBVIOUS CHOICE as stated by so many who took the time to let you know that. Keep Ken. Alex would be very happy with that replacement.
Ken Jennings is doing a great job AND he has a long history of appearances on Jeopardy as a contestant. I'm not interested in seeing Katie Couric or Savannah Guthrie as host. There is no need to rotate hosts, but if you HAD to rotate, you need to get Jeopardy James and Brad. My recommendation-keep Ken and pay him well to stay!
Personally, Ken is doing a fantastic job. No one will ever replace Alex, but let’s face it, Alex can not come back to host the show. Ken interacts well with the contestants. He has his own sense of humour and is never at a loss for words when interacting with the contestants. He is able to relate to whatever the contestants talk about. When the other hosts have finished their stint on the show we will wait to see if Ken will return permanently. If he does, we will then continue to watch Jeopardy like we once did.
Ken is awesome. He knows the game inside and out, has a very charming personality and doesn't try to steal the show. I think Alex would have been so proud of him. Please keep him.
Ken is the OBVIOUS CHOICE as stated by so many who took the time to let you know that. Keep Ken. Alex would be very happy with that replacement.
Please keep Ken. He has been fantastic as Alex’s replacement. I am sure Alex would be very happy to see Ken carry on his great tradition. I have watched Jeopardy every night for many years and I do not think I would be able to so if Ken is replaced by any of the other potential people that have been scheduled.
You have a winner with KEN JENNINGS. Please don’t screw up a wonderful show by replacing him.
ALEX, PLEASE HELP!!????????????????????????
Keep Ken Jennings. He is fabulous. He has made the transition smooth. He is smart and knows how to communicate with the contestants.
Ken Jennings is the best choice in becoming Jeopardy's next permanent host since Alex's death. It was an easy transition to watch. It was like watching a mini Alex as Jeopardy's host. Ken is smart and knows the ins and out of the game of "Jeopardy". It would be an asset to the show and it's fans to have Ken Jennings as the next permanent Jeopardy Host. With due respect I wont watch anyone other than Ken Jennings!
Its not a celebrity show, its the greatest trivia show ever. Put your celebs in if you wish to piss off most of the audience and lose viewers. As for me, I feel you have Alex's best replacement with Ken.
Ken is the obvious choice and he seems to getting more comfortable in the role everyday.
As a long time contestant himself he can identify with the contestants and interacts very well.
Choosing those celebrities as replacements, will drive viewers away, me for one.
For those who feel his voice is scratchy or irritating, a few voice lesson could easily solve that.
Please keep Ken as the host of Jeopardy. He is doing an outstanding job and it’s apparent that he’s much enjoying the hosting which is quite contagious. Our family is rooting for Ken. I don’t like the trialing of a lineup of guest hosts. I like the familiar face of Ken who obviously loves Jeopardy and we love him.
Sorry, but there is something about Ken Jennings that makes me think he is not the replacement for Alex!
Ken Jennings gets my vote. I’m in my 70’’s & have been watching Jeopardy for decades. Very true no one can ever fill Alex’s shoes, but Ken pays sincere homage to Alex & has all the credentials to be the new Host. Please NO celebrity or political hosts. You will surely lose viewers. RIP Alex Trebeck.
I think Ken is doing a wonderful job and deserves to be the permanent host of Jeopardy!
As Ken said himself, you can't replace Alex. Not because he is the leading champion it means that he's good. He is doing his utmost to become the next host of jeopardy, but he misses a lot and the most is... CHARISMA!!!
Ken is missing the natural grace, elegance, and humor of Alex.
Looking forward to seeing other guest hosts.
