    Aaron Rodgers is too self centered and totally not the best choice to replace the beloved Alex! An intellectual with a caring personality should be high on the attributes we need to keep Alex’s faithful Jeopardy audience!!!!!

  • Patricia Kerrigan - 3 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers is the worst host so far. He is b arrogant. You can put a suit on a football player but it doesn’t give him class or oersknality

  • Sharon Beacham - 4 years ago

    Correction - spellcheck! Buzzy Cohen

  • Sharon Beacham - 4 years ago

    Best host -engaging , intelligent and lots of personality is Buddy Cohen

  • Kathy - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers is the only one who could read a question in the voice and accent of the character being described like Alex. If Aaron is not picked Mike Richards should be the choice. The others would only ruin the show.

  • Sue Champion - 4 years ago

    Producers, please consider the type of voice each of these hosts has. I couldn’t listen to Ken Jennings for more than 2 minutes. His voice is uncomfortably falsetto. Aaron’s voice is deep, strong and clear. Best of all!!

  • Mary L Cook - 4 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen would be a great replacement host for Alex. He's so comfortable. But I'll wait for reading rainbow star Levar Burton.
    Miss you Alex

  • Patricia Robinson - 4 years ago

    He is simply the best! Next in line is Anderson Cooper!

  • Paula Bowling - 4 years ago

    I like Anderson Cooper best

    Aaron Rodgers is totally McDreamy!! And not just his handsome appearance but his relaxed manner. He truly seems to connect to each and every contestant in a genuine way. Of all the temporary hosts so far (as of May 7) Aaron has the most charisma and seems to be most at ease with the intellectual material. Maybe this is due to his intense preparation as mentioned above. And maybe he is just extremely smart. Whatever it is, he's the only one that has Alex's warmth and confidence. I think he will not only sustain the Jeopardy audience but expand it.

    What has transpired in Green Bay the last week or so has shown Aaron Rodgers’ true nature: vindictive, egotistical and disingenuous. He is the anti-Alex Trebek and doesn’t deserve to follow the consummate professional.

  • Joy lewis - 4 years ago

    Aaron is too impressed with himself. Everyone else who has hosted has been so much better. Please don't let him ruin Jeopardy!

  • Janice Weber - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers is funny, compassionate, understated, has a great voice and demeanor.
    He is absolutely my choice.
    Oh, one more thing; he's not so bad to look at either

  • Tina Wilson - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers was the best guest host on Jeopardy. Just listening to his sincerity how honored he was to be hosting Alex Tribec' s show. Half of these other guest hosts are ridiculous choices. Please make Aaron Rodgers the next Jeopardy host.

  • Carole Rosenthal - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers has a wonderful clear, deep voice....his inter-actions with the contestants make me smile......reading fans comments saying he is boring, don't like his voice?...can't be the same Aaron Rodgers I watched for two weeks...I find his not being a professional speaker, very charming........in the two weeks he became more comfortable and I believe showed he would be perfect for the job......hope he can find a way to play ball and be host of the show! I already miss him as host.......

  • Bruce Fig - 4 years ago

    My choice is Chris Hardwick. He's young, energetic and kind of nerdy. Just what the show needs.

  • Irene Yasso - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings is my first and only choice for the permanent host of Jeopardy! No one else should get the job.

  • Kathleen Walczak - 4 years ago

    1 Ken Jennings
    2 Mike Richards
    3 Dr Oz

  • Veronica Anne deMarie - 4 years ago

    1 ken Jennings
    2 Mike Richards
    3 Dr Oz
    4 Aron Rogers
    5 Anderson Cooper
    No vote at all for Katie Couric

    Would love to see Aaron Anderson from Dancing with the Stars . Also wish you would have all the names listed that you could put in numerical order as I did thank you would get a much better View of audience popularity

  • Mary Walton - 4 years ago

    Why does it seem like alot of hosts are sports figures or famous commentators? Why can't we see smart women choices? Am sure there are plenty of intellectual people that could be a fresh new face for the show. Comparing 1 athlete or famous person is silly. So far all have been ho hum and boring if I am honest. Of course a replacement for Icon Alex is not easy. But please give the chance to someone who is smart and interesting and not all the male celebrities who have already made their mark!

  • Bev - 4 years ago

    If you wanted a sports figure, how about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

  • AJH - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers was great, but I loved Mike Richards. So many still to come. Will rethink it all then.

  • Cheryl Crabaugh - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers was by far the best of all.

  • Sharon Muse - 4 years ago

    Best smile,best personality,made everyone laugh and was a pleasure to watch. Super knowledgeable.

  • Beverly S - 4 years ago

    I loved Aaron Rodgers. He is the best. He has the best personality of all of them.

  • Heidi Loretz Schacher - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers was too monotone not at all entertaining or interesting to watch. I did enjoy Ken Jennings. I also liked Anderson Coopers delivery tonight.

  • Barbara Henderson - 4 years ago

    Enjoyed Aaron. Relaxed and pleasant demeanor. Is second to Ken at this point.

  • John - 4 years ago

    Absolutely not if he is chosen I will never watch it again.

  • Margaret McNaughtan - 4 years ago

    Although Aaron Rogers seemed to become more comfortable as his two weeks went on his voice seemed just too flat at times.

    Of the ones we have seen so far my vote is still with Ken Jennings..

  • Susan Dewey - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rogers is the best so far. Need to see the rest of the temporary hosts, however, to make up my mind definitely. Just cannot see any one of them being any better though!!

  • Charlie - 4 years ago

    Rogers is #1 with me as of now.Cooper?! Ya gotta be kidding.

  • Karcli - 4 years ago

    I vote for Richards or Rogers so far. Definitely NOT Jennings.

  • Kay Yarnell - 4 years ago

    Loved Aaron Rogers. Brings a combination of professionalism yet humbleness. Adds a freshness of youth. His gentle nature is refreshing. He has my vote.

  • Debra - 4 years ago

    Mike Richards please!

  • Barbara - 4 years ago

    There will never be another Alex Trebek. Aaron or Mike Richards would work for me. Katy Couric is just too too chipper, cutesy, and stupid. Yuk.

  • Robert Nienkemper - 4 years ago

    I believe Aaron Rodgers is easy going with people and they sense it. He's so natural with everyone with a ready smile and a carrying attitude. He's a natural leader on the field and with people around him. He's one of those people who has people stop and look when he enters a room. You just can't teach that, it's all nature with him.

  • Sue - 4 years ago

    Can’t see how Rodgers is in the lead. Stay in the field of sports. He mumbles some of the words and you can’t understand him at times. Doesn’t have that special,”something” as the permanent host. So far, I think Ken and Mike have been the top 2.

  • MMA - 4 years ago

    Aaron was totally BORING!! Couldn't watch him. Ken Jennings was good but he talked too fast. Katy was good. Dr. Oz - NO!!! Mike the producer was the best so far. I won't be watching when Joe Buck is on. Can't stand him!! Mike gets my vote so far.

  • Lynda Morse - 4 years ago

    Loved Alex! Still miss him. But Aaron Rodgers is outstanding. His voice is great. Such a pleasure to see his professionalism. His demeanor is charming and so like Alex. The producer fella would be my second choice.
    JEOPARDY IS WONDERUL PART OF MY DAY,
    NEVER MISS IT! THANK YOU, LYNDA

  • Carol Forney - 4 years ago

    Mike Richards is my first choice followed by Aaron Roger's. Definitely NOT Ken Jennings. Alex will always be THE BEST.

  • MLMunz - 4 years ago

    Arron Rodgers should be permanent host. Great voice and stage presence. Didn’t try and make show about him unlike Ken Jennings. Ken always tries to use stale humor for attention. I refuse to watch show if he’s new host. His voice too high and squeaky to listen to every day. Boo hiss!

  • E. V. Lewis - 4 years ago

    Aaron's voice annoys me & his hairdo looks like Alfafa. His dialogue with the contestants was awful tho he did improve the second week. He also looks scruffy, shave please. Alex spoke beautiful French, so far Jennings was the only one that spoke it like Alex. More French questions so I can choose.

  • Wanda forte - 4 years ago

    I have watched Jeopardy since day 1. I loved Alex Trebek. My one thought when the other hosts were on is this. Everything was going too fast. With Aaron Rodgers it is more relaxed and his vice is very soothing. I had actually thought of not watching anymore, but with him I always have a smile on my face when it goes off. I would love to see him as permanent host. I think Alex would be proud.

  • Nancee - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rogers was totally boring. He spoke in a flat monotone. Katie Couric would be my first choice.

  • Lynne Vought - 4 years ago

    Aaron Roger's did a great job guest hosting for 2 weeks. He was cool, calm and definitely enthusiastic! I just read Joe Buck will be guest hosting. He's an arrogant know-it-all! At what point does the rotating guests come to an end? Stick with just those that have gotten good reviews!

  • Cathy - 4 years ago

    My favorites have been Mr. Richards and Mr. Rodgers. Please don’t ever bring back Ken Jennings!! I liked Mr. Richards from the very beginning. With Mr. Rodgers, it took a few episodes. At first, I didn’t care much for him, but as I kept watching, I really liked him. He doesn’t act like he is “a celebrity”, as Ken Jennings did. Mr. Rodgers acts like he genuinely likes interacting with the contestants and has a great sense of humor. So far, for me, he is my favorite guest host. He definitely is “a keeper”!!

  • Gary & Lisa Alexander - 4 years ago

    We have been watching Jeopardy for years. If Rodgers is selected we will not watch anymore. He is such a drone. Had better stick to football. Suffered watching the last two weeks.

  • Teresa - 4 years ago

    It was entertaining reading all the diverse comments. I am on Team Aaron all the way. Not because he's my favorite quarterback, (which he is) but because I am a devoted fan of many years, of both Jeopardy and GB who thinks he is outstanding in both positions. I enjoyed his voice, his interaction with the contestants, his obvious intelligence, his whit, his sincerity and his sense of humor. I also enjoyed watching how quickly he adapted to hosting Jeopardy during the short time he was guest host. I loved Alex, but Think Aaron Rodgers is by far the best choice as the new host of Jeopardy.
    P.S. At no time did I consider the question of whether Aaron was, or was not, SEXY, to make my decision. People are saying some ridiculous things on here.

  • Esther Hebert - 4 years ago

    He has done a great job. He's warm, has a sense of humor. Best yet since Alex.

  • Jeannie K - 4 years ago

    I think his reading of the clues was a bit stiff and monotone, at first. I'm sure it was nerves. As he went along, he got much better and, quite frankly, he has won me over. He seems very good-natured, humble and witty...and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes!

  • Dora - 4 years ago

    Love,Love,Love Aaron Rodgers did an AWESOME job! Jeopardy should hire him!!!

  • Marcia - 4 years ago

    Not a teenager.....I"m 77 and think Aaron did a great job. He is smart, not obnoxious, professional, friendly. I'm sure Alex would be proud!

  • Julia - 4 years ago

    Alex Trebek was the epitome of a host who was not into himself- humble, spoke extremely well and was very articulate, had the most pleasant voice and manner, brought out the best in contestants. Aaron Rodgers is the exact opposite- always making references to himself, is arrogant, and has a most annoying voice. My favourite show for 35 years. Please please please don’t ruin it with Aaron as host!! I can’t believe Katie Couric is ranked so low- she was extremely pleasant, encouraged contestants. Dr Oz should be ranked the lowest. Why don’t you have an email available post-Jeopardy shows that devoted fans can vote after each game?

  • Bernie Pospishel - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers.... No. How about trying Neil Degrasse Tyson?

  • Cindy - 4 years ago

    Awesome host!!!!! He’s great!!! Would love to see him as permanent host!!!

  • L J Mitchell - 4 years ago

    Aaron was awesome. As if now he's our #1 pick to replace Alex. Lots of fun to watch.

  • Cheryl DeAntonio - 4 years ago

    We have really enjoyed Aaron Rodgers! Aaron is a natural we think he is the one to replace Alex

  • Margaret - 4 years ago

    My husband and I have enjoyed Aaron Rodgers as host more than any previous fill in. He is so natural, humble and his personality brings a sparkle that has been missing since we lost Alex. We say Aaron is the man for the job. Just hope he wants the position. Kudos to Aaron

  • Judy Dow - 4 years ago

    It’s a toss up between Aaron and Mike Richards. Both were excellent.

  • Patty - 4 years ago

    I think Aaron was great and he should take over permanently. Hes the man for the job

  • Cheryl DeAntonio - 4 years ago

    We have really enjoyed Aaron Rodgers! Aaron is a natural we think he is the one to replace Alex

  • Brinda Ford - 4 years ago

    So far went family & friends like Mike Richard's he seems like the right fit .Aaron is a contender,not Dr O. or Jennings ,or Katie Couric. I'll keep watching until they pick one & If it's someone I don't think can pull it off sorry Alex RIP i wont be watching it .Alex can't be replaced .

  • Tom Schlesselman - 4 years ago

    Never liked Aaron as a QB but I love him on Jeopardy!

  • C - 4 years ago

    NO to both Jennings and Oz. Jennings is too pompous and completely full of himself. Oz mumbles. My opinion will not change for either of them. Right now, Mike Richards is my first choice with Aaron Rogers a real close second. Katie Couric is too fake.

  • Phyllis - 4 years ago

    Aaron May dress classy but he is as dry as dirt. His responses after an answer is slow and not swift. He may be good looking but he comes across, to me, as dull, dull, dull.

    Why can’t we change gears and have a female (Katie) or a black host like Hill Harper? Is anyone listening??????

  • Dennis Smaron - 4 years ago

    Mike Richard's should be the host. He's one classy guy that reminds me alot like Alex. Aaron just doesn't seem right for the show, Katie Couric is a definite no along with Dr. Oz. Ken Jennings is dull. I really enjoyed watching Mike Richard, he was so smooth like Alex was, great voice.
    It all depends on whom they choose if I will continue to watch Jeopardy.

  • Wendy Morgan - 4 years ago

    I prefer Ken Jennings or Katie Couric, but can’t wait to see Anderson Cooper.

  • Pat - 4 years ago

    No on Aaron. He lacks charisma. Ken also lacks charisma. Mike was great! Katie also did a great job hosting.

  • Karen Ellis - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rogers DEFINITELY! He is great a perfect host.

  • Shelby - 4 years ago

    Aaron Rogers speaks haltingly and does not have a smooth presentation.
    Also , if you cannot pronounce Edna St. Vincent Millay , a well known poet, you shouldn't be hosting Jeopardy.
    Mike Richards is by far the best.
    Katie Couric alienated 80 million Americans by voicing her political views.

  • Floridanana - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings and Aaron Rodgers are my 2 favorites so far!

  • Tracy - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings should be the permanet host. He has personalitu, makes it enjoyable to watch. Excellent interaction with contestant's and a genuine love for the game and Alex.

  • Sue Miller - 4 years ago

    I would like to see Ken Jennings get the job. He loves Jeopardy and would be a good fit. Mike Richards did an excellent job too but does he want the job. Leave Aaron on the football field.

  • Sue - 4 years ago

    Levar Burton!

  • Sandra - 4 years ago

    I vote Aaron Rodgers. Ken Jennings is considered a natural choice, as he comes from the Jeopardy world. He has an affable personality, but my problem with him is that he resembles too close to Alex Trebek without the dynamic personality of Alex. Aaron has an interesting personality, and I am amazed at, how having no prior hosting experience, how much he’s improved in just two weeks. He now sounds and acts like a professional host. He reads the answers very well, shows a great sense of humor, is comfortable and attentive interacting with the contestants, and no longer has a monotone. Perhaps the producers should consider having the top 3 choices, with Aaron being one of the 3, to each host 4-6 weeks and see who does the best by the end of the period before choosing the permanent host. Right now though, my choice is Aaron Rodgers.

  • DAK - 4 years ago

    Aaron rodgers all the way
    Ken is horrible no personality

  • Helene Fagan - 4 years ago

    I'll reserve final judgement until all the "celebrity hosts"take their turns but so far MiKE RICHARDS has my vote!

  • Sondra - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings

    Aaron Rodgers

    Luv both of them.

  • Carol - 4 years ago

    I feel that Aaron Rodgers does not have the personality or quick wit to fill Alex’s shoes!! His voice is monotone and he appears to like himself too much. He may have done his homework and is prepared but he just doesn’t have the “comeback” comments like Alex had. If he is chosen as the new host, I most likely will not be be watching Jeopardy anymore. Please choose a person more like Alex and his personality.

  • Rob - 4 years ago

    Kens the Man...Arrons a boring mono tone.. can't believe he has the most votes

  • Sandi - 4 years ago

    I think Aaron Rodgers is boring and full of himself. Ken is genuine.

  • Mary Aleksiewicz - 4 years ago

    Ken Jenni gs, hands down!!!!!!

  • Legh Gautreau - 4 years ago

    Mike Richards was the BEST

  • Janice Bowman - 4 years ago

    Dr Oz was the worst followed by Aaron Rodgers. #1 was Mine Richards, then Ken Jennings, then Katie Couric.

  • Anna Hartley - 4 years ago

    Aaron is boring and his voice is flat.

  • Judi Matsen - 4 years ago

    I think Aaron is boring. Ken and Mike are so far the only choices I would pick. And Alex picked Ken!

  • Theresa Turkington - 4 years ago

    I think Arron Rogers brings a different perspective to he game! I also like Ken Jennings! I like their quick Witt, they are funny in their own way!

  • Bev Lively - 4 years ago

    Levar Burton should get a shot. I like Aaron, but my son wants Levar.

  • Phil - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings no 1, Katie no 2. Aaron Rogers skill is on the football field, not hosting.

  • John - 4 years ago

    Where did my comment go all ready political.

  • Alan Miner - 4 years ago

    Mike Aaron Ken

  • Anntoni Rodriguez - 4 years ago

    Dr Oz should be the host of jeopardy he was a perfect host.

  • Geri cook - 4 years ago

    I chose Aaron Rodgers. No one else.. He's the best. PLEASE!!!

  • MARILYN KING - 4 years ago

    I'm watching Jeopardy again cuz of Aaron
    Ken is my 2nd pick

  • Pat Sigrest - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings far outranks all the others. He is very intelligent, knows the show extremely well and was indeed Alex’s choice.
    Not one of the others comes anywhere close to Ken. Personally I think Ken can keep the show with high ratings!

  • Pat Sigrest - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings far outranks all the others. He is very intelligent, knows the show extremely well and was indeed Alex’s choice.

  • Carolyn Fox - 4 years ago

    I don’t want to vote against Aaron Rodgers. The poll should have all the names available. I prefer Ken Jennings. My 2nd choice would be Mike Richards, followed by Aaron. The others would be in the minus territory in my opinion.
