    I think ken Jennings is best for the job !

  • Joanne Whitehead - 3 years ago

    Absolutely! Smooth, charming, sparkles -- and of course smart!!!
    He's the best of all!

  • Trish - 3 years ago

    Buzzy brings the perfect blend of intellect, humor and humility. Time to finalize so the Jeopardy can maintain integrity before it's too late.

  • Pat - 3 years ago

    Buzzy brings the energy into the game that gives it substance. He fits perfectly into the role.

  • Ron - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is a natural and was a great guest host. He is relaxed, smart with information— but not over the top much like Alex, does not over shadow the panel, and is always upbeat, smiling, and gives information in a matter of fact way. You have the perfect guy (provided you have taken Ken Jennings out of the equation) in Buzzy. Don’t mess up your selection process again! You have in Buzzy, a former Tournament of Champions winner and a natural on the other side of the stage. All other guest hosts, other than Ken Jennings, were a disaster! Select Buzzy and you get a great person to follow Alex!

  • Bruce - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is by far the best host they have had. Smart, perfect voice, not as "phony " acting as many of the other stand ins.

  • Leo oeffner - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen or I will probably not watch the show. He is best by far

  • Carl - 3 years ago

    Myself and my wife have been faithful watchers of Jeopardy and truly think that Buzzy is the perfect full time host for Alex Trebecks replacement. The special guest hosts were a nice change but Buzzy has more personality and knowledge than any other guest host. Please consider Buzzy for full time host of our favorite show.

  • Conni Haynes - 3 years ago

    I am an 87 year old lady who watches Jeaporady faithfully and Buzzy is so good and efficient in running the show. I so agree with the positive remarks of people before me. Please really consider using his talent for keeping the show like Alex would want it. Thanks for the opportunity for me to give you my thoughts on this. You will do well Buzzy in anything you do because of your positive approach to things. Thanks Conni

  • S A Warden - 3 years ago

    Ken lacked energy. Buzzy is smart, articulate, and energetic! Choose Buzzy!

  • Don - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings. A natural.

  • Mary Hutson - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen has the best of all of them.
    I think he should be the man for the job.

  • Terry Holliday - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen!!! My absolute favorite of all of the guest hosts! He was such a natural, in my view. I didn’t see him as a contestant, so that wasn’t an influence for me. I don’t even have a second choice. Sold on BUZZY COHEN for the new Jeopardy host!

  • louis hayden - 3 years ago

    buzzy is the best,he make us feel like he has be doing this for ever.

  • Joseph Baldwin - 3 years ago

    These other professionals have a career and make a great living, doing what they do. Buzzy is so on the ball, professional, hilarious, as well as being the Smart Person in the Room, he would make Alex Trebek Extremely Proud! Ken Jennings has his own show, and paid an “Over The Top Tribute “ to Alex on his fill in Shows! He was Amazing as well! GO BUZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pam Kinley - 3 years ago

    I would love to see a smart woman like Mayim Bialik become the permanent host. I am 69, but she may be able to bring a younger audience as well as keep the older audience and has a great personality, as well.

    After all the guest hosts, you should run an online poll and give the viewers the final say. Just my opinion.

  • Denise Hoermle - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was outstanding in every way. There has not been another guest host that even remotely can compete. I would have stop scheduling anyone after we saw Buzzy. He presents well, has the perfect voice and conducted himself as well as Alex.

  • Carol McKernon - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was just so excellent in every way. Mike was a close second. Katie is too much into herself (yes, I've been there, I've met that person,, I've done that, etc etc etc). No thanks. We didn't like Mayim Bialek at all and stopped watching Jeopardy while she was on. She's alot like Katie. Ken Jennings would be our third choice.

  • Lynne - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen was perfect! The only host I looked forward to seeing more of with the exception of Mayim Bialek. I’m old and would love to see the energy of youth injected into the game. Buzzy and Mayim both had a great presence. Personable, believable, knowledgeable, capable,…all the “ables!”

  • Sara Evans - 3 years ago

    Mayim bialik

  • Ginger Howard - 3 years ago

    I really like Mark Richards. He was totally at ease and comfortable.

  • Cara M. - 3 years ago

    So far my favorites are Buzzy Cohen and Mayim Balik. She has been fantastic. Love her personality. Love what Buzzy brings to the table as well

  • Gael - 3 years ago

    I think Buzzy has been the best and should be the next host. Mayim Bialik Is also very good, as was Mike Richards and Anderson Cooper. But Buzzy is best!

  • Jon - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen was the best, friendly smart interacting with the people very pleasant to watch he should be the host

  • David Schneier - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was by far the best guest host.He’s truly full of enthusiasm and can relate with the contestants. Furthermore he knows how to read the answers with true feeling and great expression. He should be the new host of Jeopardy.

  • Patricia Kerrigan - 3 years ago

    Buzzy has a great personality. He interacts well with the players.
    So far he has been the best guest host. He also seems to enjoy hosting the show.

  • Sandy bodfish - 3 years ago

    A few of the guest hosts had me changing Cohen is by far the most engaging for jeopardy. He is a natural.

  • Penny Sullivan - 3 years ago

    I LOVED BUZZY and the way he hosted JEOPARDY.
    I will not watch if the host is political like George S.
    Alex wouldn't like that either. Besides that Buzzy is only 36.

  • Catherine - 3 years ago

    BUZZY was THE BEST! I really like Anderson Cooper, would like to have coffee with Katie Couric, never want to spend a minute with Aaron whatsHis Name, but am 100% TEAM BUZZY COHEN!!!

  • Nancy MacPhee - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was fantastic as guest host. Head and shoulders above the rest. Loved Aaron Rodgers and serveral did an OK job but Buzzy was just SIO THERE!!!

  • Sue Lash - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is a natural. He was awesome in his run on Jeopardy and on the Tournament of Champions. Please consider him as your permanent host. Alex Trebek was definitely a fan of Buzzy as well. He would do Alex proud

  • Ellen Rosenberg - 3 years ago

    Buzz’s Cohen reflects a love for the game as well as competency as a host. He’s witty, respectful of the contestants and has the same well-dressed appearance that we all admired in Alex. He appeals to all age groups. Most fans I’ve spoken to agree...he’s the wise choice!

  • Linda Freels - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is the best host so far! I've enjoyed a few of them and definitely did not like others. Buzzy has the perfect personality, clearly smart, has great Jeopardy experience and is fun too. Please choose Buzzy!!

  • Lisa - 3 years ago

    Buzzy, Buzzy, Buzzy; He knew what he was doing. Love his voice and the way he acted with the contestants.

  • Lisa - 3 years ago

    Buzzy, Buzzy, Buzzy; He knew what he was doing. Love his voice and the way he acted with the contestants.

  • Pat - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen or Mike Richards were our favorites! They both had a great knowledge, personality, were interesting, & know how the program should be presented!! We happened to notice that there were 2 of the others that seemed to feel that they already had the job & seemed to be sorta cocky because of who they are, & as much as we hate to say it, they are both highly recommended.

    THE SELECTION SHOULD BE MADE ASAP as you may be losing your viewers if this continues (viewers like us can’t understand why you need to continue having guest hosts unless you are under a certain obligation with them). May you have help from above in making the best selection!!

  • Dale Fischer - 3 years ago

    For me Buzzy was the best. Extremely confident, knew the right thing to say and in command of the show.
    He has a great voice, excellent appearance and relates well to the contestants and audience. Got my vote !

  • Nona - 3 years ago

    I've been happy for the most part but I really object to people saying that someone should be chosen, when they haven't even guest hosted. Hey "fan faves" don't sway the vote

  • Nadine S Harris - 3 years ago

    Buzzy surprised me. He was excellent. What he has over Rodgers is DICTION. Rodgers swallows words, and cannot be understood.

  • Judy - 3 years ago

    I really liked Aaeon Rogers . I like his calmness and was a.real gentleman.

  • Nimel - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was the best so far. He definitely should be the new permanent host. It was a great two weeks. I looked forward to each game, haven’t been so excited to watch the show since Alex Trebek.

  • Linda Harrison - 3 years ago

    He was very good. Buzzy or Ken get my vote.

  • Jane Kennedy - 3 years ago

    I think Buzzy is a charming, warm geek, and I really liked him. He seemed comfortable with the contestants, the format of the show...and the camera. I hope he gets the job.
    I love Aaron Rodgers but felt he was not very comfortable with the contestants or the camera, and he comes with some baggage as do all the “celebrity” hosts, including Ken Jennings whose been the “ultimate champion forever.
    My vote goes to Buzzy!

  • Jean Ryan - 3 years ago

    Really liked Mike. He was relaxed, good sense of humor,and a very gracious host, much like Alex acted. So many of my friends and people on Facebook agreed with me. Do hope he is chosen. Truly believe Alex would agree.

  • Kathy - 3 years ago

    Nope. Buzzy is pressing too hard. He takes away from the show content and purpose rather than subtly and smoothly adding to it.
    I love Aaron Roger's however he was firmly in second behind Mike Richard's.
    Dr. Oz makes me stop watching. Buzzy's not much better. Ken Jennings is ok, but boring. Katie Couric was quite good for the #3 spot.

  • Girish Patel - 3 years ago

    Earlier I was for Mike and Katie, but after watching Buzzy , his diction, pronunciation, clarity of words and communication skills, interactions with the contestants, I think he is a right person to replace the irreplaceable Alex Trebak.

  • Connie - 3 years ago

    My friends and I were discussing this and our top candidate is Aaron Rogers with Richards second. Ken and Buzzy are ok but get rid of Buzzy’s distracting glasses..lol. Rogers should not be judged by his football negotiations - two complete worlds!

  • Vinda - 3 years ago

    I think I’m with everyone else. Very impressed with Buzzy - he had a nice controlled enthusiasm for hosting. I was on the Mike Richards bandwagon until Buzzy did his stint. Interested to see how Mayim Bialik does next week.

  • Bonnie Lipton - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is totally our family's choice to host Jeopardy! We were pleasantly surprised by his clarity and control of the game, while sharing his witty, yet warm personality. Our second choice would be Aaron Roger's. These two stood out from the rest, without question. To be honest, there were a few guests hosts that caused us to not be able to watch the show . . . Blessings on those making the choice...

  • Steve - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was good but I still think Ken Jennings is the best.

  • Earlene Perry - 3 years ago

    Buzzy did a really good job and he very well be my second choice. Aaron Rogers is my first choice, I thought he did a great job of getting contestants to relax more and he acted very natural in the host position.

  • Joanne DiCintio - 3 years ago

    Aaron Rogers was my favorite!! Dr Oz was also amazing!

  • Linda - 3 years ago

    Loved Buzzy Cohen as the host and hope he might be the one to replace Alex. He has a great personality and did a super job these last two weeks. Mike Richards is my second choice. Please don’t pick any of the other hosts and if so, I will not be watching Jeopardy any longer.

  • Kathryn Lein - 3 years ago

    I enjoyed watching Buzzy Cohen, because He was good to listen to and His interaction with the guest was phenomenal. His stage presence was impeccable.

  • Paula - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was by far the best host. He was exciting, engaging, personable, but there are two things that he had over all the rest. One was the clarity of his voice and second was the superior way he commanded the game.

  • PJ - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is the best so far. He gives feeling when he reads the questions and answers. The hornrimmed glasses have to go. Wear contacts or get glasses with no noticeable frame.

  • Frances Vetrano - 3 years ago

    I liked Buzzy but didn’t get the sense of ease I would like. Truthfully, I liked the producer Mike best. He seemed to have more of a feel for it. We (you!) can never replace Alex but I hope we don’t lose the sense of the show, the fun of it, the excitement... thanks to all the guest hosts who have tried!

  • Wendy - 3 years ago

    I wrote yesterday it I would like to reiterate. My final answer is Michael Richards. When will it becomes public? Thank you. Go Mike!

  • Myra - 3 years ago

    Buzzy gets my vote! From the first day, he was confident, at ease and exciting!

  • Susan Wittmer - 3 years ago

    Buzzy should be the permanent host. He is comfortable in the host job.

  • Carolyn Chyzus - 3 years ago

    As far as the guest hosts to this point, I like Mike Richards the best with Ken and Buzzy tying at second place.

  • Judy stadler - 3 years ago

    Between Mike Richards and Buzzy. By far the best two. However, Aaron Rogers is a very close 3rd. No one else should even be considered at this time

  • Dave Kirchdoerfer - 3 years ago

    Buzzy gets all 10 of my votes ! LOL The only other 1 that I would consider so far is Mike Richards but Buzzy was a natural. I never liked him when he was playing but after the 2nd show, I said he's the one. His voice was very clear, read the questions perfectly, interacted with the contestants and was enthusiastic. I don't think anyone will come close to Buzzy & Mike, they had the perfect voices and made it easy to follow the answers, not like Ken & Bill Whitaker.

  • Jean - 3 years ago

    You always want and root for the person who has the most passion for what they are doing....this is Buzzy!

  • Robert Oziomek - 3 years ago

    Buzzy did a great job. Definitely not Rodgers. He would require a new pacifier every show. He thinks the world revolves around him. Buzzy should be the new host.

  • T Faye Watson - 3 years ago

    I like Mike Richards the best then Buzzy Cohen.
    I’ll be glad when you have picked the new host.
    I don’t like Ken Jennings voice for being the host. When he was hosting for the most part I couldn’t understand him.

  • Gin Ketterling - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is a natural. He was relaxed, engaging. My sister and I was all in for Ken.....but once Buzzy came on stage and within the first few questions we knew he is the perfect fit. He will do Alex proud.

  • Barbara Shearer - 3 years ago

    I really like Buzzy Cohen and Mike Richards. Buzzy is a natural at this. He was wonderful with the contestants. He has walked in their shoes so he was empathetic and encouraging. Buzzy has a great voice and great knowledge and was very comfortable. Buzzy was a little kooky as a contestant, but great as the host. On the other hand, I liked Ken as a contestant, but I did not enjoy his eight weeks as the host-I couldn’t wait until another guest host came on. Mike Richards was also great, but I am not sure that he wants to be executive producer and host. I am curious to see how Mayim Bialek does since she is funny and smart.

  • Dick - 3 years ago

    Yes, Buzzy for sure. He has the best speaking voice of all the hosts....
    I don’t know what he doing now, would this be a raise or a cut in pay??

  • Aaron Proffitt - 3 years ago

    1. Mike richards
    2. Buzzy Cohan
    3. Ken jennings
    NO, to all the others.

  • Ronnie Gerstein - 3 years ago

    I am an avid Jeopardy follower. Buzzy is the very best host—and I don’t care who follows him. I agree with everything that Lori said—and the others. I enjoy his straightforward approach which is filled with intelligence, charm, and wit. And please not Aaron Rodgers. Ken would be okay but Buzzy is the best

  • Madelyn Gearheart - 3 years ago

    I have wanted Ken all along, because he is so charming and witty.
    But after watching Buzzy this week, I think he would actually be better. He is very enthusiastic and a bit more relaxed with the contestants. His voice is easier on the ears than Ken’s high pitched voice. I would be very happy to see him replace Alex.

  • Doug Fike - 3 years ago

    I never really cared either way when Buzzy was a contestant . I alway questioned his 1950s Clark Kent look.As the host he has been the most efficient. His demeanor, intelligence ,delivery and overall presence is superior to all the prior hosts. Ken Jennings was great , but I guess Buzzy’s glasses have wore me down.

  • Susan Rattray - 3 years ago

    Either Buzzy Cohen or Mike Richards would be excellent choices to follow but not replace Alex. Both demonstrated poise, presence, enthusiasm, responsiveness to contestants and awareness that respect for contestants rather than showcasiing the host holds the key to the success of the show. Cooper and Jennings also gave creditable performances. Please drop Oz, Couric, Rogers and Whitaker from consideration. I am an enduringly loyal Jeopardy fan having been a contestant when Art Fleming was the host and the show was produced in NYC.Won $32 and an encyclopedia!

  • Tish coleman - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen was the best host so far. I really hope Ken Jennings doesn’t get permanent host. He has a “know it all” demeanor about him.

  • Cheryl Krome - 3 years ago

    I found Buzzy to be the most engaging, fun, comfortable from the start. Nobody will replace Alex Trebek but Buzzy made we want to watch again. Love his manner, his personality. Please choose him!

  • Howard Loveland - 3 years ago

    Buzzy or Ken Jennings. Definitely not Aaron Rodger. He would be terrible management problem for Jeopardy producers, just like he’s been at Green Bay.

  • Peggy Barnett - 3 years ago

    Yes Buzzy Cohen gets my vote.

  • Linda Ward - 3 years ago

    As of May 29, I think Buzzy and Aaron Rodgers have done the best job, as well as being very personable.

  • Empty 333 - 3 years ago

    Buzzy best presence and master of the task at hand (Ken is great but enunciation can be distracting). Mike Edwards was awesome but I feel he would prefer to continue behind the scenes just like he did for Alex. The others are already employed and frankly their careers directly affect their presence, and they are already personalities so I do not feel any would be good. Maybe good enough but not great. Best of luck and thanks for keeping it real.

  • Robert L Evans - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen is my pick as replacement for Alex, long time of Jeopardy fan. Been watching Alex since 1986, hard to find a replacement, I think Alex would like Buzzy very good voice (I hearing impaired) and could understand Buzzy very well, he has very good mannerisms and very polite to all constance. He thanked Alex. Jeopardy fan forever thank you all Bob Evans

  • Vickie Pretz - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was very easy to understand all the time, his words came out clearly. I loved how he was so upbeat and positive with the contestants. If he was nervous, it didn't show. I do like Ken and Aaron, but I think for a full time host, I would appreciate Buzzy getting the position. I also think that he is closer to what Alex would want, since I am a long time viewer. Thanks for my consideration. Good luck choosing!!

  • Robin McIlvaine - 3 years ago

    Anderson Cooper has been my all time fave. He has class! Buzzy is good too maybe a little too too overly enthusiastic but likeable. Anderson is a little more mature and natural, genuinely smart and intellectual without being stuffy.

  • Deena - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards is number 1. Ken Jennings is terrible. He is arrogant and his voice is too high and irritating. Aaron Rogers is much like Alex. A woman is not a good replacement for Alex. Buzzy is number 2 I hope the decision will honor Alex. He was classy and very kind.

  • Kathy W. - 3 years ago

    I thought that Buzzy Cohen did a fantastic job as the guest host during Tournament of Champions. But I was a little taken back that on his final day he didn't say thank you to Alex like every guest host has done. Being respectful of a wonderful man. I am a longtime time "JEOPARDY" viewer. But yes he has personality!!

  • Tina Wilson - 3 years ago

    I am a huge fan of Ken Jennings and i felt he did a great guest hosting job!! I didn’t care for Couric, Withers, Cooper. Dr Oz was okay but I don’t see him as a permanent host no real reason except for Ken Jennings and Buzzy Cohen my two top choices. I liked Aaron Rodgers except he is estranged from his family and being a family person I can’t let that go by. I probably won’t even watch George stephonopolis(if I can’t spell his name….) plus he is WAY TOO political, he would be a terrible choice; not as bad a choice as Joe Biden if he was in the running. Robin Roberts would be a good choice if Ken and Buzzy were not available.
    I read the message from somebody who criticized Buzzy saying he didn’t thank Alex and what ever that comment about “I’m not going there!” That person must have been eating dinner and watching tonight. Buzzy did a great job and he most certainly thanked Alex in many ways all week. I was not at all impressed with the producer. If I can’t remember any others in the running then they probably wouldn’t keep my attention anyway! Shout out to Ken and Buzzy! Maybe they can take turns like Ken, Brad, james and Mark Labbett do!!

  • Jacklyn Spent - 3 years ago

    I like Buzz I hate to say it but I think Ken’s wins and all his game shows it seems like he knows he is smart and it shows by some his comments

  • Marcia R Wythers - 3 years ago

    Buzzy so lacks humility. On his last day he thanked neither Jeopardy nor Alex. Buzzy is a hotdog. He gets old fast. Please NO! Mike Richards needs to be The One!

  • carlene - 3 years ago

    Mike first then Buzzy like both of them

  • Marie Morrison - 3 years ago

    He lost my respect when the contestant said his young relation did not know the name of the show, other than calling it the Alex Show. Instead of saying “What an acknowledgement of how Alex Trebek touched every age,” he said “Not gonna go there.” How cruel. How mean. How harsh. Alex helped to make Buzzy who is is today. For him to say, “Not gonna go there” shows NO respect or honor to the man he is attempting to replace.

  • Catte - 3 years ago

    I started watching Jeopardy! when Art Fleming was the host. All those years with Alex were memorable and entertaining.
    No one can truly replace Alex, but Buzzy is the best choice to carry Jeopardy! into it's next era.
    How can you go wrong with the guy Alex dubbed "Mr. Personality"?

  • Gail - 3 years ago

    Alrhough I’ve liked a few other guest hosts, Buzzy is the most natural, most well prepared and well spoke , upbeat without being too silly host. He has great cadence, enunciation and an ibteresting voice. As a lifetime watcher of Jeopardy with Alex, i find Buzzy’s weeks to be the smoothest transition

  • Jacqueline Meyers - 3 years ago

    Waiting...one thing for sure, NO to Aaron Rodgers.

  • Sanders Berndt - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen just brings the light back to the show! Really good with players and smart and Great Smile! It has been hard to adjust to show without Alex, but Buzzy is self assured, interested and seems to be having a great time! He is just great! Go Buzzy!

  • JP - 3 years ago

    Buzzy, Katie, Aaron as the ratings showed negative Cooper last

  • Sharon Fayette - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is best. He's,s relaxed, asks questions at the right speed, really related to contestants. He is a natural for the host if jeopardy

  • Bee - 3 years ago

    Definitely a vote for Buzzy Cohen!
    Decades viewer here, who really enjoyed evenings with Alex and the guest players. His voice was clear, concise and comforting.
    I feel Mr Cohen could truly fill those three C’s as well.
    Not a fan of his eyewear frames, but those could change or even grow on you.
    My votes for Buzzy!
    Keep Jeopardy going, teaching us and challenging us!
    Thank you!

  • MaryKate Brennan - 3 years ago

    Buzzy outshines all of the other guest hosts! He has poise and personality, and is a natural in front of the camera. Buzzy is fun in the same way Alex was fun; and, like Alex, Buzzy comes across as a really nice guy who you'd like to know.

  • Ruth - 3 years ago

    I was rooting for Mike Richards and would still be happy with him as host. But Buzzy Cohen was terrific. My husband and I agree he is by far our first choice. Not a fan of Ken Jennings.

  • Pamela Carlson - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is filling really big shoes!! He’s fun genuine and engaging. I’m convinced he already knows the answers to all the questions.
