    I wish I would have written them down, bur Mayim made two incorrect statements as comments after an answer given by a contestant. I can't remember which game, but remember one mistake as being the pronunciation of a name, the other was a very incorrect statement she made, like I said, as a comment pertaining to an answer given by a contestant.
    These had nothing to do with the outcome of the game or anything else......except it made her sound unprepared
    Like I said. I wish I'd had written them down. .

    Mayim Bialik has outshined everyone so far with professionalism and presentation. Whether she studied the clues beforehand or simply knew proper pronunciations, her background elicits preciseness without assumptions. Over time, her style would develop in the same manner as did Alex Trebek.
    Not far behind her would be Ken Jennings. His rapport with the contestants and understanding of their position can’t be equaled. It will take more time for him to develop his own style rather than trying to imitate Alex.
    There will be an adjustment period for all fans to accept the new host, but this interval with various guest hosts is making it easier. Thank you, Jeopardy staff, for handling this situation with care!

    Right time for a woman role model, and she's the pick of the litter. I think Alex would be in support--she's got smarts, good presence, wit; and not a whiff of the "Barbie" taint that the other women candidates have.

    Mayim is my favorite! I did not know her at all! Later I did see her on a commercial! I thought she was perfect for Jeopardy! Mayim had everything going for her & I enjoyed listening to her! Mayim was perfect!

  • fern - 4 years ago

    I did Love Mayim. She was really good. She has a great personality and is smart smart smart. It would be great to have a woman as host. But I love Buzzy. For me it is between those two so far. I keep reminding myself that it took a long time for Alex to become Alex.

    I also want to say the Ken Jennings tries to channel Alex. But deep down he doesn't have a great personality.

    Mayim Bialik is okay, but she must do something about her hair. Her hair-do is terrible. Can the directors send her to a good hair salon?

  • SDNATIVE - 4 years ago

    ----although mayim was very, very good....ken jennings is the guy for me....he has proven himself on the jeopardy game/gauntlet time and time again....provided all the proofs....he is the guy.....he is the best for the show....ken jennings is the perfect fit.....he knows the game....he knows what it takes to be a jeopardy winner....he is the top notch jeopardy winner.....i hope they bring in the "TRUE JEOPARDY CHAMPION"/"KEN JENNINGS" to take over the show....ken jennings is the only person that has earned the title of the next jeopardy host......

    Mayim is our favorite. For those who commented on her clothing, she is an observant Jewish lady. She looked great. Smart, funny and easy to listen to during the show. What a breath of fresh air!

  • Dia - 4 years ago

    I found Mayim to be grating, overbearing and much too talkative, and she incessantly inserted comments about herself throughout the show. In addition, her appearance was very unprofessional. I also did not care for her curt and dismissive tone when contestants gave wrong answers.

  • Martha Lancaster - 4 years ago

    Jeopardy deserves a host who cares about the show not themselves. I believe that is true about both May in and Buzzy. Buzzy is my number one choice. His love of the game is clearly visible.

  • K. Rant - 4 years ago

    No to Mayim. She has inflated her "school credentials". She is boring and monotone. Geez people, just because you liked her sitcom does not make her a good host! Buzzy or Mike. Aaron was awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Only Buzzy, Mike, and Ken have a connection to Alex. It has to be one of them!

  • Alison - 4 years ago

    Mayim is clearly the person for the job! She is a fan, which makes it exciting for all of us, she is an intellectual that makes it engaging, and she is so personable and NOT over the top, that she even makes the player’s sometimes inane get-to-me stories fun.
    Mayim all the way!

  • Trixie Remington - 4 years ago

    I think Mayim's wardrobe choices have been distracting and ill advised. She needs an image makeover that would be more flattering to her and more appropriate for the role of Jeopardy host. Maybe Gayle King could help her out. Gayle always presents well.

  • Laurie - 4 years ago

    Would LOVE for Austin and James to give it a go! For now Mayim is my front runner with Ken close behind.

  • Sonia - 4 years ago

    Mayim is the last on my list of preferences. Her intellect did not excel, and her appearance was terrible.

  • Lois A Flack - 4 years ago

    Mayim Bialik is a natural! As someone else said, "Alex would be proud."

  • Michelle - 4 years ago

    Mayim has the intellect and TV presence. Great choice!!

  • Robert - 4 years ago

    Update her clothes and hairstyle and you'll have the perfect host.

  • Cam - 4 years ago

    I DVR the show and am a bit behind. I'm currently at the end of LaVar Burton's run and haven't seen Mayim yet. But, even without seeing her, I'd take her over Ken any day. Ken is just doesn't have the charisma to fill the role. Great contestant, horrible host. Only Couric and Oz were worse than Ken up to the point I'm at.

    My favs (so far):
    1. Cooper
    2. Richards
    3. Burton
    4. Rogers

  • Mark Pickell - 4 years ago

    Mayim is awesome for the job. Hands down the best. Alex would be proud.

  • MoeRoc - 4 years ago

    Buzzy & Mayim are my choices, so far. Jeopardy does not need a super ego athlete; none of the other guest hosts have cut it imho. Not looking forward to Anderson Cooper's two weeks either, his inane giggle drives me crazy.

  • Dennis A Shuart - 4 years ago

    I like so far. She definitely needs help in the wardrobe Department. Dressing like a sixties school teacher just isn't cutting it.

  • Bonnie Huleatt - 4 years ago

    I was not impressed with Mayim. Although she did a decent job and was friendly, she needs major help with her wardrobe and hair.
    Also, she came across to me more as a school teacher than a game show host.
    My two favorites are Ken Jennings and Buzzy Cohen. I feel like Alex's replacement should be a man and should be someone who has previous experience with jeopardy as a contestant.
    Both of these gentlemen fill the bill.

  • Alicia - 4 years ago

    Mayim is absolutely the best. Enough said!

  • Jean A Sexton - 4 years ago

    Mayim is absolutely the best host for the show. She is
    personable, feels comfortable in her own skin, and extremely knowledgeable. She seems to help the contestants relax Alex was a class act and so is she.
    Ken Jennings is too full of himself

  • Sharon O'Mara - 4 years ago

    Mayim 100%. However whoever is responsible for wardrobe needs their head examined. Frumpy ill fitting clothes...carry overs from Big Bang???

  • Mike - 4 years ago

    I thought Mayim was clearly the best host. I also felt Buzzy and Ken did well. Please forget the rest including Aaron.

  • Terry - 4 years ago

    I am stunned that Mayim is so popular. She doesn’t come across as professional. I do not think she would be a good long term host; only Oz, Whitaker and Couric are worse.

  • Tom Ballard - 4 years ago

    I think that Ken Jennings or Aaron Rodgers have been the best so far. I believe that these two gentlemen came the closest to Alex's Suave and easy manner. I did not like Mayim at all. Her clothing always looked looked dowdy and like something that was handed down from her Grandmother. Her hair was unruly and looked like it had never seen a brush or a comb., I thought that she always had a gleeful look on her face whenever a contestant could not answer a question and she got to give the answer. Lastly, I had the impression that she favored the female contestants more than the males. Almost as if she felt a little uneasy or slightly uncomfortable with the males.

  • Jimmie Dix - 4 years ago

    Ken Jennings is best by far.

  • Vicki Warden - 4 years ago

    Please bring the class back with Mayhim

  • Tom - 4 years ago

    I think Ken Jennings is the best by far, if he does not get the host position, I will not watch the show, I have been a dedicated viewer for years. I want to watch a pompous actor, as the host. Ken Jennings has been there done that.

  • Edward - 4 years ago

    By far Mayim is leading the pack for a female to host the show. As for male host still a toss up between Ken, Arron, and Anderson. Hopefully the last few guest host are the last to appear. You are adding too many people to make a final selection. Which might result in the show losing viewers because you will never be able to make everyone happy.

  • Nettie Guiliana - 4 years ago

    I think Ken Jennings should have the job. People are used to a male host and he is the closest thing to Alex Trebek. Mayim may be able to read the questions but she is not groomed in her appearance for the camera. A good male host that when the camera is on him looks groomed and ready for TV. Ken has both attributes. He was a wonderful host and looks like a TV host. He also has feelings for the contestants as he has been in their place as a contestant.

  • Pat - 4 years ago

    Mayim is the best hands down. She is very natural in her delivery of the questions, just the right touch with any additional info regarding the answers, and interacts with the contestants with pleasantness and respect. Also, she enunciates so well; I can see people learning English watching this show!! She has the perfect voice. And a kind smile. All this and intelligence too.. She’s my pick.

  • Pam - 4 years ago

    Mayim is naturally pleasant. Easy to sense her kind everyday personality while her intelligence and knowledge shine through. Very enjoyable games with Mayim as guest host!

  • Barbara - 4 years ago

    After watching this show since its' onset over 30 plus years ago I can say it looks like a toss-up between Ken and Mayim since both are highly intellectual and personable.
    Ken Jennings was really the closest to Alex TREBEK and will continue trying to emulate his friend and mentor. He has been appearing on other game shows and he is far from being pompous.
    Although Mayim is a charming, brilliant woman I do not think she will have the stamina and desire to be a permanent host. This is a temporary accolade but not something a woman with her intellect and temperament can continue for the duration of her life-no way! I haven't been wrong yet!.

  • Sheryl - 4 years ago

    Mayim puts Everyone at ease. She's smart, but not condescending like Ken Jennings. So far Mayim and And Anderson Cooper are my favorites.

    He is not pompous and watching him on other shows

  • Amy - 4 years ago

    She is doing way better than I thought she would. Her voice is smooth and pleasant, which I can only say the same about several of the other hosts.

    I did really enjoy Buzzy, too!

  • Carol garven - 4 years ago

    Mayim is my pick so far. Good personality, not condescending , smart. Similar to Alex- obviously no one can replace him

  • Patrick - 4 years ago

    She is hands down my favorite if she isnt the host i wouldnt be very interested in watching the show
    She makes the game fun yet it can still be a serious game.
    She is also smart enough to probably know the answers
    Mayim all the way

  • Paula - 4 years ago

    I love Mayim Bialik as Jeopardy host. To me, she almost mirrors Alex and his style. I agree wit Richard Roswall. She is intelligent and charming, and is very respectful to the contestants. I'd love to see her as the new Jeopardy host.

  • Donna Allan - 4 years ago

    Team Maxim, all the way ????!!!!

  • Dan - 4 years ago

    I'm still going to reserve judgment until LeVar Burton, but right now Mayim is THE No. 1 choice.

  • Cindy M Collard - 4 years ago

    Mayim Bialik is like a natural with the readings of the answers. It's the 1st time I felt this way with all the quest host, some I couldn't even watch the show but when Mayim Bialik came on it was a breath of fresh air & believe me there are very few woman announcers, news casters etc that get my approval. Please make a choice based on how they qualified & impressed the viewers instead of politics, race, or gender.
    Thank you for reading this far, Cindy

  • Ruby - 4 years ago

    Mayim is the worst! Two weeks is enough! Will never be able to watch her every night!

  • Shelley - 4 years ago

    Even tho I voted for Ken. His attitude says I'm the smarter one. We shall see how the rest do.

  • Mary - 4 years ago

    Mayim Bialek is the perfect host. Intelligent, charming with great sense of humor. She treats the participants respectfully and cheers them on.. Please don't hire Ken Jennings with his superior attitude. He does not respect the participants. He got high ratings because he was the first guest host after Alex.. Thete are many teachers who will no longer watch if he is the permanent host. We do not like his attitude that he is better than any contestant. He is very condescending. !!!

  • C Smith - 4 years ago

    Mayhim Bialik is natural, personable, friendly, and smart enough to talk about the varied and sometimes obscure questions on Jeopardy. She gives me the same feeling Alex Trebek did, that they knew the answers and were very comfortable with the subject matter.
    Mayhim is a great fit❗️❗️❗️

  • Karen Hildebrandt - 4 years ago

    May I’m is a wonderful host for the show. She seems very natural and cordial as well as knowledgeable and encouraging to the contestants as well. She’s great.

  • Frank - 4 years ago

    Mayim all the way!!!

  • Richard Roswall - 4 years ago

    Mayim Is a natural for the job, she has the intelligence and personality and comes across great at the helm of Jeopardy....... She will always compliment the leadership of Alex for the decades he was at the helm one of the most interesting game shows on television.

  • Maxine - 4 years ago

    I liked Anderson Cooper. I did not like Mayim at all! Also, ken Jennings was good, and he will be the most like our beloved Alex Trebek, with a little time and experience. Those are my choices! I do not like Mayim at all. Thank you.

  • Curt Fausak - 4 years ago

    I was not thrilled with Mayim. She is too “over the top”. Trying too hard to be funny and too friendly with the female contestants.
    I feel Jeopardy is a “serious” game show and Mayim is not acting very serious. I hope Ken Jennings or Buzzy Cohen will become the next host on Jeopardy!!!!

  • Brenda - 4 years ago

    I think Mayim Bialik did an amazing job.

  • Diane Whitt - 4 years ago

    We do not care for at all. She's stiff and rehearsed. Ken Jennings us the best candidate. He knows the game and can relate much better to the contestants.

  • Florence Payne - 4 years ago

    Mayim gets my vote. She is perfect for the job. Flo

  • Steven Hager - 4 years ago

    Mayim all the way, rest are stiff and just reading the teleprompter text. She is original, funny,intelligent, a true complement to Alex. He would pick her ij a heart beat!

  • Michelle Fiske - 4 years ago

    I do not care for her at all.

  • Regina - 4 years ago

    Absolutely full time for Myaim! Love listening to her voice. Very engaging and a wonderful personality that fits the show perfectly

  • Carolyn - 4 years ago

    Mayim is smart, engaging and has a wonderful sense of humor which would enable her to easily step into the position.
