    Mike Richard's, 1st choice; Buzzy Cohen, 2nd choice.

  • Ronald Sikorski - 3 years ago

    I choose Mayim

  • Richard Michel - 3 years ago

    Buzzzy cohen would make a great host. Very personalable.

  • NancyD - 3 years ago

    I have to see the other hosts, I bet Levar Burton will be good.
    So Far:
    1. Mayim
    2. Buzzy
    3. Anderson

  • Beverly Northington - 3 years ago

    Please not Ken Jennings, has all personality of wooden puppet. I will take Mike or Aaron. Have watched this show since before Alex became host and would hate to give it up but would if it was Ken

  • Lee Plympton - 3 years ago

    Mayim Bialik Is totally at ease. Thoroughly enjoyed her and thought she was the best so far!

  • RUTH SIEGEL - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is the best!
    Mike Richards would be my second choice.

    Dr. Oz was, by far, the worst, with Aaron Rodgers a close second.

  • Jerry - 3 years ago

    1 Buzzy
    2 Ken
    3 Mike
    No one else so far for me works.

  • Judy Andresen - 3 years ago

    'I LIKE MIKE ' I believe he has the knowledge, the charisma, the 'feel' of a veteran host. Alex would choose him! If the show wanted to use a guest host for a week or so, (Give Mike a break) then use Buzzy and Ken. Love the show, always watch it!!

  • Lisa Manos - 3 years ago

    Buzzy! He’s got energy and charisma! Plus the fact he’s a past champion and can himself answer many of the questions adds credibility to his delivery. Yes, Jennings has that too, but I favor Buzzy’s quick wit.

  • Larry Hill - 3 years ago

    Sorry ,I don't care for people that are cocky and popping off .Buzzy was all of that as a player ,like the girl from Oklahoma, a little to full of themselves.Didn't care for them from day one. A person that is humbled by the privilege to be part of the Jeopardy experience, that's who I really appreciate. I would be very disappointed if Buzzy was chosen.

  • Paul Hartmann - 3 years ago

    What's all the "Buzz" about ???!!!

  • Jean - 3 years ago

    KEN, KEN, Ken Jennings is the BEST. Please choose Ken.

  • JC - 3 years ago

    I would vote for Mike Richards or Buzzy Cohen. Both hosts were naturally enthusiastic and seemed to genuinely enjoy their hosting responsibilities. I also like their speaking voices - very easy to listen to. Bill Whitaker looked very tired, had zero enthusiasm, and appeared to be reading all his lines from a prompter. I am anxious to see the other hosts before I make a final vote. It is still my favorite show!

  • Letha Howell - 3 years ago

    Not Ken Jennings. He is not confident and is awkward. I would stop watching after a lifetime.

    1. Mike
    2. Buzzy or Aaron

  • Rita Primeau - 3 years ago

    Buzzy, Ken and then Mike are my choices. Knowledge, delivery and voice but Ken already has/had a show and is already on staff of Jeopardy.

  • Sudhir - 3 years ago

    Why not Richards?

  • Beth Isaacs - 3 years ago

    Buzzy did a fine job, but his frequent "talking with his hands," hand gesturing, annoyed me. Distracting. I found him a bit loud, too.

  • Dawn - 3 years ago

    Ken is the cream of the crop. His wit and intelligence, class, and combined with his love for the game, and the way he honors Alex's memory while bringing his own flavor to it, does the legendary game if Jeopardy justice. These top notch qualities are what makes him the #1 choice in my book. Buzzy is second for me, because he doesn't quite rank up there in these areas that are the essence of Jeopardy.

  • Barbara Pasch - 3 years ago

    Being an older person who has watched Jeopardy since it's beginning stages I can say even though Buzzy appears confident and has prepared for his stint he,unfortunately,lacks the softness and gentle approach with the contestants. His approach is too rigid and no softness like Mr.
    TREBEK.
    The ONLY ONE who REALLY should fill this spot is the one person Alex,himself,was telling us without words and that is Ken Jennings.
    He is soft,compassionate, and definitely loved his friend as you hear in his voice

  • Anita Gumiela - 3 years ago

    Excellent, Excellent competition. Buzzy great host. He needs to be next full time host. Really reminds everyone of Alex. Same great personality.

  • Leigh Engh - 3 years ago

    Loved Buzzy! Best yet.

  • Judy - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen was ridiculous with all the hand and arm gestures. I found him to be extremely annoying with over the top facial expressions, inappropriate outbursts and laughter. If he is permanent the permanent host, you've lost a decades long viewer, which I'd hate. I know Alex can't come back, but you've got to do better than Cohen. He may be knowledgeable in some areas, but this doesn't make him a good host. God help us.

  • Elvie H Burns - 3 years ago

    I liked Buzzy right from the start. He fit just right into the slot.Very upbeat and personalble.

  • Donna Leake - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is the best. He also has much knowledge. He is a keeper.

  • Barbara Skelton - 3 years ago

    Watched the show for years but won't if Cohen is the permanent person. I personally prefer Ken above any other. Cohen doesn't seem to know what comes next. Seems totally lost. I completely trust Ken but am not sure about Cohen. Go Ken.

  • Pat Donohue - 3 years ago

    I think, right now, it is between Buzzy and Mike Richards. Both of their voices project really good plus their interaction with contestants

  • Sheri Ritsick - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is head and shoulders above anybody!! Great voice, great personality and great all around guy who never missed a beat! He was fabulous!! Go Buzzy....my whole family votes for you!!

  • Barbara L. Ramm - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is great! Along next to Aaron and Ken. Katie and Mike were also good, but Mike is EP already. Please no Dr. Oz, or Bill, or Anderson. No good. Just my opinion. Wish we could bring back Alex!

  • Gretchen E Menzel - 3 years ago

    Do you think Mr Richards would want the job over producer?
    Having been champs, knowing the timing and guest routine, Buzzy first, Ken second (already has 2 successful tv shows) Richards 3rd

  • frederick - 3 years ago

    Yep...Buzzy is very good. Close to Ken and Mike.
    As for Rodgers...Sleep-inducing. His first program was the longest 6 hours of my life. We welcomed the commercial breaks.

    .keep him at Number 12 on this list.

  • Jeanne Kennedy - 3 years ago

    Please ANYONE but Ken Jennings. So far, Buzzy is my first choice, but have high hopes for Leaves Burton.

  • Marie March - 3 years ago

    So far Buzzy's the best for me. Great engaging smile. Brings you in right away. That is if he wants a job permanently who knows? Great experience with games including tournament of champions and others. He truly loves the game he hasn't been involved in broadcasting but that doesn't matter he does a great job. The show does not need a celebrity game host.

  • Amelia Murray - 3 years ago

    Loved Buzzy Cohen. His voice was distinct n carried well. Moved right along too. Was easy to look at n not Hollywoodish.

  • Dorothy Chick - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is the very best so far. He is the the most like Alex so far. No one can replace Alex but he is a good one to hold the audience interest .

  • Jess - 3 years ago

    Does everyone watch Jeopardy on mute or something? Buzzy would be the worst choice for this job. LOL. Personally, LeVar Burton is who I have high hopes for.

  • Barbara - 3 years ago

    #1 Mike Richard #2 Buzzy Cohen #3 Aaron Rogers
    but I want to see how LeVar Burton stacks up!

  • Jenning Fan - 3 years ago

    Can you for the love of Jeopardy spell out "Going to", the "Gonna" is a horrible misspelling, especially for Jeopardy Fans!

  • Pat Turner - 3 years ago

    I am still going to vote for Ken Jennings although I would not be unhappy with Mike Richards or Buzzy Cohen. I think Buzzy rushed through the questions and didn’t put emphasis on words I thought he should have. At some point in my years of watching Jeopardy I remember Alex saying he had someone in mind to take his place but he never said who that should be. My question to the producers: did Alex ever tell you who he thought his replacement should be? As for the rest of the host lineup most have their own political agenda. I would like to see the permanent host to have no ties that would take away from Jeopardy, just like Alex.

  • KEN HAYES - 3 years ago

    My top 3 so far 1. Buzzy Cohen 2. Ken Jennings 3. Mike Richards. The rest shouldn't even be up for consideration.

  • Elaine M Beck - 3 years ago

    I think Buzzy is the best...I loved him as a contestant and as the mcee I think he has it all. Rapport with the contestants and just an all around nice person. My vote is definately for Buzzy.

  • Kathleen Doyle - 3 years ago

    I feel that this whole guest host stint should be over. The game is not about the host it’s about the contestants, the questions and how viewers do at home. Enough already with guest hosts the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Katie etc! Get someone able to read the questions and have a decent ability to speak to contestants. If it doesn’t work out after a year get another announcer! You’re missing the point of the game - knowledge!

  • Dianne - 3 years ago

    I could not stand Buzzys’s voice it was not soothing I thought he was loud and rushed through.
    He did not give them a chance he said nope not right on to the next question instead of saying like Alex did
    I am so sorry that is not correct

  • JEANINE M. ZAVISLAK - 3 years ago

    This is a tough one! I like Buzzy, Ken, and Anderson Cooper. I did not like Bill Whitaker at all. His delivery and enunciation was terrible. Katie Couric snd Dr.Oz. were ho hum, put me to sleep. Aaron Rodgers was acceptable, but needs to lead the Broncos. I also like Mike Richards. Somehow, I cannot picture Mayim Bialek as host of a game show...especially Jeopardy! For me, the world stops when it's time for Jeopardy.

  • Goya - 3 years ago

    I am definitely changing to Buzzy Cohen. He has that energy that I personally saw in Alex. Buzzy is intelligent, personable and interacts very well with the contestants. Some people don’t like his eyeglasses... it’s a personal choice and possibly his trademark. Good luck Buzzy!

  • Leigh McSweeney - 3 years ago

    I now say Buzzy ALL the way. The entire package.....fantastic delivery, enunciation, presentation w/out being pompous or ‘too Hollywood, easy, relaxed personality, etc etc. He has my vote.

  • Carolyn Dwyer - 3 years ago

    So far, I would choose Buzzy. I’m holding out for Levar Burton, though.

  • Sam - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen. Witty, bright, current, pleasant television voice and easy on the eyes.

  • Suzy - 3 years ago

    I thought Mike was great! I would be happy to watch him nightly.
    So far, Buzzy is the front runner. He is personable, intelligent without being pompous and he has a fun sense of humor.
    Aaron was good as well, but I don't see him as a long term host.
    Those are my top 3. Good Luck!

  • Marshall Campbell - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen is by far the best! He REPRESENTS Jeopardy! Alex Trebec liked him and so do i! Buzzy Cohen! Buzzy has smarts and charisma! Buzzy!

  • Christine - 3 years ago

    I'm in shock..!!

    Buzzy Cohen.?
    Please tell me you are joking.????
    That man has nothing going for him....and those glasses?
    Come on Buzzy, treat yourself to a decent pair, those are hideous, not to mention seriously outdated..????

    I look forward to Ken Jennings being chosen for the permanent Jeopardy host..
    Alex would certainly approve. !!!

    RIP Alex.

  • Penny burke - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards was the Best by far!! Please select him!!

  • Linda Craig - 3 years ago

    I think Buzzy is good and I definitely like Aaron. Tuff decision between him and Buzzy. Ken is good and liked him but I think Aaron and Buzzy r better. Love Mike but I guess he will not really be competing. He was gd though. And sure liked and rightfully so. I do not think any of the others have a prayer nor did I like them. Even skipped their shows as I was just not interested. Do not know who the rest are but I cannot see how they will be better than the gd ones so far. Anderson and Dr. OZ were pathetic.

  • Su - 3 years ago

    From day one of Buzzy hosting it was a no brainer. BUZZY is the best! Ive been a jeopardy watcher before alex was ever heard of. It's Buzzy, baby.

  • Shirley Boggs - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is way more outgoing and better personality. Reminds me more of Alex

  • Louise - 3 years ago

    1. Ken Jennings
    2. Mike Richards
    3. Anderson Cooper

    Buzzy just makes me nervous, for some reason.

  • Joy - 3 years ago

    I chose Buzzy for the next Jeopardy host when Alex retired. Very sadly Alex passed away before retirement. As a Jeopardy watcher from the very beginning I know Buzzy will do an excellent job. He has such charisma and is very intelligent.

  • Steve - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is a natural at being the host with an upbeat personality and the smartest of all those who preceded and will follow. He is without doubt #1!

  • Roberta Goldsmith - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen is a natural at hosting. Totally at ease at this job. A perfect person for the permanent host. Love him.

  • Helene Rabinowitch - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen by far the best. Best personality. Did the best job. Give it to him!!!

  • Katie - 3 years ago

    I remember when Buzzy told Alex he wanted his job. He should have it. He is an excellent guest host

  • Charlene - 3 years ago

    So far my top two choices are Buzzy C. & Aaron R.

  • Sharon A Delisi - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen looks perfect for the role...nice smile, easy manner, smart AND I love how he dresses. Alex liked him when he was a contestant. Keep him!

  • Barbara Ruth - 3 years ago

    I really enjoyed Mike Richard's but I realize he already has an important job, but he was good. Ken Jennings and Buzzy Cohen are equally good

  • Carol Harris - 3 years ago

    I do not like Buzzy Cohen, people say he is Alex all over again and that is not true!! He is not witty and as far as I am concerned he doesn’t relax the contestants at all. He is very short with them, just not a great personality at all! Almost anyone is better than him except Dr Oz.!!!!

  • Reggie - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen is Alex trebec personified. Absolutely the finest host so far. His robust and amiable personality far exceeds anyone that has been a guest host. Only Alex Trebec out classes all possible replacements.

  • Barbara Sims - 3 years ago

    At the moment Buzzy is my first choice! he’s relaxed, knowledgeable, witty and very good with the contestants. I feel that he would be a real asset to Jeopardy but it is for certain that no one can take Alex’s place. Aaron Rogers is my second choice. Although Ken Jennings may be GOAT I feel that he does not have the personality or the wit to make a successful or likeable Jeopardy host. He is my very last choice.

  • William McFadden - 3 years ago

    Ken first choice

  • Andy Saunders - 3 years ago

    Easily. Dr. Oz.

  • Cindy Johnson - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards was more at ease with his presentation and was very easy to listen too.

  • LEILA Bonner - 3 years ago

    Ken would be my second choice. Buzzy is just more fun.
