    Ken Jennings has done an excellent job as Jeopardy host. Please eliminate the rest of the candidates and name him the permanent host as soon as possible.

    Keep Ken. Get rid of Katie Couric and the others. He is awesome. Please I will nit be watching when the others show. Shame on you ABC.

    Leave Ken Jennings ! Alex wouldn’t approve of changing hosts , it’s not Jeopardy anymore, it’s a host
    Contest . Ken is great !

  • BJ Harbach - 5 years ago

    Ken is doing an awesome job as temporary host. His thorough understanding of the game process helps him to be not only a sympathetic host, but a bit of a fanboy too. I can tell by watching him host that he is enjoying the job. Keep it up, Ken. We'd love to see you in this position on a daily basis. Oh, and I absolutely love that Ken pays tribute to Alex at the end of every show. "Thank you, Alex."

    I will not watch when polarizing news media guest host. I’m 69 and don’t believe I need to be reprogrammed.

    Ken is the best. If Katie or Cooper get it, I won’t watch.

    As a long time watcher and fan of Alex Trebek, I think Ken has done an excellent job. He is bright and attentive to contestants. His segways are admirable. His keen interest in Jeopardy oozes from him. I doubt the other guest hosts will do as well. We love you Alex and Ken.

    It is clear to me that Ken, having been on Jeopardy for so long, has an excellent chance of emulating Alex's desirable abilities handling Jeopardy for decades. Ken can be very much like him; he is personable, quick, smart - Ken already is, at this early stage, a remarkably apt person to fill the void left us at present. Yes, may he be the next host of this outstanding quiz show!

    Ken is doing an excellent job. Will watch him till he's done. If he will not be the permanent host of Jeopardy then my days of watching Jeopardy will come to an end. Don't mean any offense to the other guests hosts. Just the way I feel.

  • Katherine MacKenzie - 5 years ago

    Absolutely keep Ken as the host. He knows and loves the game, respects Alex's legacy but doesn't try to imitate him. Ken is a great host!! Don't make us suffer through other wannabe's. I have watched the game for over 30 years and feel that he is the best!!!

    When Ken Jennings leave so do I.Will not continue to watch and show ratings up during this election process.We have enough of that in process now.Too Many on the list and we continue to see them Daily as it is.Hurry back Ken????Great Job.

  • Carol pavlovitch - 5 years ago

    I love Ken Jennings as host. I can't picture anyone else hosting Jeopardy. No one could ever take Alex Trebek's place, but I think Ken is doing an excellent job.

  • bob - 5 years ago

    really surprised how well ken did on the show dont need to look any further he should be the new full time host

  • amber - 5 years ago

    I truly don't think anyone could do better than Ken Jennings I agree with some of the other comments. I don't think any of the other choices are any good If they try to host I have a feeling that Jeopardy will go down FAST I know I won't be watching to many episodes if Ken decides to drop Jeopardy.

  • Jamey - 5 years ago

    Ken Jennings understands the game and has done an amazing job. Nobody can replace Alex but he respects his legacy without trying to imitate him.

  • amber - 5 years ago

    If Ken likes doing the Jeopardy show I think he is doing a GREAT job Thank you Ken for taking that step to fill in for Alex I know it must be hard for you but I think you are doing wonderful

  • amber - 5 years ago

    If Ken likes doing the Jeopardy show I think he is doing a GREAT job Thank you Ken for taking that step to fill in for Alex I know it must be hard for you but I think you are doing wonderful

  • Linda Jean - 5 years ago

    I LOVED and respected Alex Trebec and wasoverwhelmed by his diagnosis and passing. Ken Jenmings isnt trying to replace Alex, just honor him. I find him enlightening, entertaining and very knowledgable and likable. He has a warmth toward contestants.
    I think bringing in allot of guest hosts is not a good thing.
    Ken is remarkable and I think Alex would be very impressed by.his taking over as host of Jeopardy. He has done a wonderful job. I never thoiught I'd like anyone else taking over but I was wrong, Ken is amazing and such a natural. KEEP KEN JENNINGS AS THE PEANENT HOST OF JEOPARDY
    PLEASE....THANK YOU

  • Frances Hylton - 5 years ago

    I will not be watching until Ken Jennings returns. No one will be able to come close as his experience on both sides of the podium. The list of other guest hosts chosen are not appealing.

  • Lori Dee - 5 years ago

    Ken is excellent. I enjoy his professionalism and sense of humor. He's so relaxed and exudes a real love of Alex and the game. I will not be watching Jeopardy until he is selected as permanent host.

  • Elisabeth Strauss - 5 years ago

    Ken has the closest connection to Alex Trebek - there will always be a bond which is important to many viewers.

  • eleanor douglas - 5 years ago

    I am 67 years old been watching for years will not be watching political people that think I NEED reprogramed

  • Margaret K McGlashan - 5 years ago

    Some of the suggested hosts I I already refuse to watch on TV: Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Sports celebrities, and have no interest in the others. I loved Mayyim on Big Bang Theory, but not on Kat. So I do not think I want her antics. And please, no consideration of Pat Sajak. ,

  • Kelly - 5 years ago

    I love Ken! The other guest hosts they have selected I will not be watching. Anderson Cooper? Katie Couric? No way.

  • Olga H LeGrand - 5 years ago

    Ken is wonderful. Keep him on. No more guests. Just Ken. Thank you.

  • Frank Tiburzi - 5 years ago

    Ken has done an amazing job considering how difficult it was for him to be the first guest host after Alex Trebek's passing. Ken has done what I believe Alex would have wanted, the show should be about the contestants, not focused on the host. My fear is that the other guest hosts will change things by making it more about their celebrity status, and that would end it for me.

    Sincerely hope the decision makers keep one thing in mind, the show has been wildly successful because of Alex and we need someone like him to take over.

  • Karolyn Taylor - 5 years ago

    I agree that Ken is the very best! He has become more relaxed as time has passed. Alex would be proud of him! Give him the position now please ☺️!!

  • Azalee Simandle - 5 years ago

    Ken Jennings is an excellent Jeopardy host and will be unequalled with your future guest hosts. His knowledge of the show, his early winnings as a contestant, and his personality are well-suited for the job. Many of your liberal guest hosts to follow will not have me watching their shows, and I question their intellectual ability. One does not need to question Ken's ability since he's proved it by being a contestant and an adept host.

  • Bill martek - 5 years ago

    Ken has done a great filling in as guest host.I Think if guest celebrities continue to be put on not meaning they won't do a good job.Ken Jennings should be given the permanant position now while he's still in the groove and comfortable..

  • Steve D. - 5 years ago

    Like others, I think Ken has done a marvelous job. I would have no problem with him being the permanent host. He has gotten more relaxed and spontaneous as he goes along.

    I am excited about watching the others, though. Aaron Rodgers should be interesting...

  • Lois Levick - 5 years ago

    He's relaxed, knowledgeable, and friendly with the contestants. Jeopardy is not a variety show. Let's keep this smart man in the right place.

  • Carla Sarsfield - 5 years ago

    Ken Jennings has done a phenomenal job as the Host of Jeopardy. He keeps the games moving, has fantastic interaction with the conestants, has given us hints of his private llife and never fails to thank Alex. Alrhough no one can replace Alex Trebek, Ken has the same love for the game as Alex did. My vote, without seeing other guest hosts, is Ken. Watching him these last few weeks, i have grown really fond of this great guy. Way to go.

  • Shirley - 5 years ago

    I fully agree with the three comments above. Ken is very intelligent, doing a great job, and not in it for political gain. It will take away from the show having so many guest hosts.

  • Lloyd - 5 years ago

    Ken is doing a great job. Some of the other guest hosts you have booked are political news people. They should not be allowed. Ken, like Alex, has never brought politics into the show. Some of the others may not but people know who they are.

  • Joyce Cook - 5 years ago

    Ken has been gracious, kind, and professional during all of his shows. He obviously is as intelligent as Alex and loves the game as Alex did. He would be a great permanent host for Jeopardy.

  • blanche - 5 years ago

    He has done a great job. Having so many celebrities do the show takes away from the game.
    It is not about the celebrities but who can read and understand the questions and answers, and keep the game moving. Jennings has done a great job.
