    Top three for me are Jennings, Roberts and Cohen in that order.

    Most guest hosts were good.

    Bottom three for me are Burton, Oz and Couric.

    My suggestion: Go with two co-hosts: Roberts & Jennings or Roberts and Cohen. (Assumes they want the job)

  • Howard Greer - 3 years ago

    Having been a Jeopardy fan for many years I would encourage you to NOT make leVar Burton the permanet.host.. He is absolutely terrible and awful to watch. Does not keep the game flowing and distracts the contestants.

  • Laura - 3 years ago

    Mike, Aaron, Ken, Robin, Mayim. Please never Burton….he is too painful to watch.

  • Shirley - 3 years ago

    All I will say is if Ken Jennings wins, I will never watch jeopardy again. I don't like him, I think he's arrogant, comes off as better than anyone.

  • Terry McCrerey - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is my favorite.
    Levar is the worst - would have to quit watching if he gets the job

  • L Moore - 3 years ago

    Did not like Ken Jennings. Smart guy, but not suitable for this job. No Charisma. Preferred Mayim, but needs to work on a more suitable wardrobe as a host.

    2nd choice is Mike Richards

  • L Moore - 3 years ago

    Did not like Ken Jennings. Smart guy, but not suitable for this job. No Charisma. Preferred Mayim, but needs to work on a more suitable wardrobe as a host.

  • Martha - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings is my favorite. He is the one I think Alex Trebek would prefer.

  • Sherry Mulvaney - 3 years ago

    I really enjoyed both Mayim and Robin! Levar sounds too much like a Carnival game caller! I muted last night’s game just to avoid hearing him.
    Aaron was also enjoyable, he wasn’t full of himself like I thought he might be!

  • Michelle - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings is #1 candidate!. He is original, scholastic, youthful and enthusiastic. His love for Jeopardy is genuine and he will be the best host to carry on Alex's legacy!

  • Judy - 3 years ago

    Burton is terrible???? that constant ‘Yes’ is so annoying. And he’s slow on the uptake and called an answer wrong Buzz or Ken are the best.

  • Charles Celeste - 3 years ago

    It is about the contestants! Aaron Roggers and Ken Jennings gets this as does Robin Roberts. Maybe didn't it seemed it was about her niche if she she is host I'm sure to be gone.

  • Lynda Thomas - 3 years ago

    I am a huge fan of Jeopardy, but picking a new host will be tricky. That being said, Ken, Aaron and Bill i found to be a little flat in their voices. Aaron was eye candy and Bill could put me asleep. I like Lavar but he’s a little loud and more nervous than i thought he would be. So for a fresh new show i would pick Maym or Ken Richards ( if he wanted the job). My other considerations would be Robin Roberts or Buzz Cohen.

  • Carolyn - 3 years ago

    Burton is my least favorite host.

  • Lynne - 3 years ago

    Lavar is so bad I had to quit watching for first time EVER

  • Barbara Pajak - 3 years ago

    I think Buzzy would be the best host. He's the most like Alex. He's smart and keeps the game going smoothly. I thought it was just me but I can't stand Levar's voice. I keep watching because his week only because I want to see Matt keep winning. So please not Levar!

  • M.J. - 3 years ago

    All this fuss over a host has become more annoying than anything. The premise of the show has not changed. Granted, I loved Alex and miss him, but I always watched for the gameplay first and foremost-the challenge of playing along and testing my own knowledge. All this " I won't watch if so-and-so gets it." is beyond silly to me. I don't see why all the hate for Burton especially. He really is not that loud and, in my viewings, has not made that many mistakes or made it about himself. ( Why do any say that last? Just because he mentions wanting the job elsewhere and has a fanbase that campaigned on his behalf? If so, that is unfair. Was he supposed to act like he DIDN'T want it?) He also reads the clues like Reading Rainbow because he is the same guy with the same voice and the same enthusiasm for knowledge. What did anyone expect-that he'd have a different voice altogether? Given time and a proper chance, I think he or any of the others with passion for the game could do just fine. The key word there is TIME. And in the process, I won't stop watching regardless of who gets it, as long as the game itself remains the same. After all, that is what it's about, right? Or do others really just watch to hear the host?

  • Lydia Moccaldi - 3 years ago

    If Ken Jenings gets the job, unfortunately I will no longer watch the show. He is boring and condescending. So many others were just painful to watch, Burton was the worst. I have had to stop watching the show due to such bad hosting and I really miss it. My top favorites are Mayim, Richards, Buzzy, Rogers and Savannah...even though I don't think she has a chance.

  • Gretchen Laturner - 3 years ago

    I’ll keep watching no matter who is chosen. Started watching in the ‘60s with Art Fleming and Alex Trebek was a huge disappointment at first. The person will grow into the job. Just hope it’s a pleasant person who keeps the game moving and lets the contestants shine. I don’t think this is Jennings my vote was for Buzzy, but there were several that would do well.

  • Julie Lleras - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings would definitely fit the roll. I'll stop watching if Levar gets the positiont. (There will never be a replacement for Alex)

  • Karen - 3 years ago

    Levar Burton is terrible. I will give up Jeopardy if he gets the job. What a phoney.

  • Jeannie Taylor - 3 years ago

    Buzzy was by far the best. Not only does he have a connection to the show, but his humor, timing, intelligence, and relaxed manor make him the perfect choice. Mike Richards was my favorite until Buzzy showed up. Mayim was also quite good. No one else really impressed me much. Jennings, Oz, and LaVar are at the bottom as far as I'm concerned.

  • Gayle S Engle - 3 years ago

    Love Jeopardy! Most interesting is #1 Ken Jennings, #2 Mayim.

  • Shelda Sparks - 3 years ago

    Aaron Rodgers was the best. Maybe Mike Richards. If anyone else I will quit watching a show I have quit watching it since all the ones I’ve been trying out. Levar is the worst ever and all the women were trying to hard to impress everybody. Ken Jennings is boring and his ears sticking out bug me. I will never watch the show again if any of the others become the host I have already skipped so many they weren’t interesting they weren’t funny they weren’t smart they were clever and then make too many mistakes reading the clues and they all had personalities of kale or spinach.

  • Bonnie Kelly - 3 years ago

    Levar Burton is my least favorite as a the possible replacement for Alex. I will definitely stop watching i he gets the job.

  • Kelly - 3 years ago

    Mayim was great along with Mike and Buzzy. I had high hopes for Lavar Burtan but I was disappointed. I Aaron Rogers gets to be the host, I will never watch the show again.

  • c mccoy - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings is the best by far. Give him a chance. 2nd would be Buzzy.
    they know the game. Don't try to compare any of them to Alex. He had been doing it for 30 sum years. All the rest can't live up to the standard.

  • Allison Feinauer - 3 years ago

    We all agree that no one will ever truly replace Alex. That being said, Ken Jennings seems to be the logical choice. He is pretty much thevface of Jeopardy now. I honestly believe that Alex had started grooming Ken to be his replacement.
    The one person I definitely don't want is Levar Burton.. He and his campaign to be host has become annoying. Each of the other hosts excel at their chosen professions they are not meant to be game show hosts even if the game is Jeopardy. Face it folks, Ken Jennings is Jeopardy . He has eat, breathed, slept and lived it since his first win. He is the right choice and fit for this show. I also think most would agree he is the most knowledgeable when it comes down to it.

  • Karen Zygnerski - 3 years ago

    My favorites are Aaron Rodgers, Buzzy Cohen and Mayim Bialik, in that order.

  • Judy - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards was terrific. Second choice would be Robin. But, PLEASE, anyone but Levar. He is absolutely awful and beyond irritating. I will definitely stop watching if he’s selected. Whoever gets the job definitely has huge shoes to fill. Alex was one in a million……a first rate class act. May he RIP.

  • Patricia King - 3 years ago

    Yes we all have our opinion about who should be the next host. However if we see each one who has guest host, please be fair. There will never be anyone to replace Alex. Lavar Burton yes would be a awesome host,but he probably just wanted it more than those of you wanted it for him. Whoever gets the honor position l will cheer them on.

  • Jennifer - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards was the best but I don't think he will leave his producer jobs. Ken Jennings is annoying and his voice is not suited for the job too squeeky. Mayim did a great job I just wish she hadn't looked so frumpy. Amy Farrah-Fowler had better fashion sense. All that being said I gave my vote to Buzzy. He seemed like a natural fit. Aaron Rodgers was a close 2nd.

  • Devon Brown - 3 years ago

    I do not want LaVar Burton, have not watched him as host, but anyone that campaigns like he has does not deserve the job. I used to like him but recently he has turned me off. If he is given the job I WILL not watch the show ever again, except for reruns of show’s previous to Alex’s death.

  • Amy Bennett - 3 years ago

    Levar Burton has been terrible; only slightly better than Dr. Oz and Bill Whittaker. Speaks like he’s still hosting Reading Rainbow(too slow and too loud for adults). In addition, he lacks the conversational ease and sense of humor so necessary for this gig. Trebek had it in spades, and most of the other guests hosts held their own. Please don’t give Burton the job!

  • Donna Young - 3 years ago

    I've been watching Jeopardy for years. My heart broke when Alex Trebeck passed away. I know the show must go on. My favorite for a new host is Mayim Bialik. I felt Mayim has tremendous respect for Alex Trebeck, and the show. A close second would be Buzzy Cohen. Please don't put Burton in the spot. If he were the host, I would no longer watch Jeopardy. In fact I don't think I will watch it until he is done with his segment. Burton talks to loud, his timing is off, and it appears as though it is all about him.

  • James Evans - 3 years ago

    Mayim Balak was the best so far. I think you should give Jon Kelley from Funny You Should Ask a chance. I think he would do really well.

  • Laura - 3 years ago

    Very impressed with Ken Jennings hes so much like Alec as this show should no Barton hes a disgrace and would nevet watch it again. And forget even giving joe buck a chance i have not watched football games because he lnows it sll and did it all hes so annoying id never eatch jeopardy again keep him off he ruoned the world series too

  • Sharon - 3 years ago

    Definitely not Lavar Burton, he has zero personality, and is very slow to react. If he became Jeopardy’s next host I would stop watching the show. I think Robin Roberts would be an excellent choice.

  • M knight - 3 years ago

    NOT Levar Burton! After the fans build up of him, I expected more. He lacks smoothness, knowledge and timing. He is too loud and appears uncomfortable, almost shouting “wrong” or “times up”.

  • Pam - 3 years ago

    I feel you should get a non celebraty to host they all carty bagge with them so a non celeb would b better

  • Ashley Oliver - 3 years ago

    Have watched every show since day 1. There will never be another Alex, but someone with his respect for intellect, a low key style of interacting with the all important contestants, and devotion to the material and the game like he had. Ken Jennings or Mayim Bialuk fit the bill perfectly. Some others have been fine, a few not so much, but the very worst is Levar Burton who makes the show all about him and is almost impossible to watch and listen to.

  • Linda Galen - 3 years ago

    I favor Mayim Bialik. She's smart, funny, and a woman, which may be a better direction for the show, rather than finding a man to be Alex. I find Ken Jennings annoying and immature.

  • Mary Napier - 3 years ago

    I thought Buzzy was the best, with Aaron Rodgers second. I would not watch any longer, after being a fan for many years, if Ken Jennings or Levar Burton were selected. Ken is annoying and Levar is just downright painful to watch and listen to.

  • Mary Napier - 3 years ago

    I thought Buzzy was the best, with Aaron Rodgers second. I would not watch any longer, after being a fan for many years, if Ken Jennings or Levar Burton were selected. Ken is annoying and Levar is just downright painful to watch and listen to.

  • JACK - 3 years ago

    AARON RODGERS is the best by far!

    LeVar Burton is the worst. He's even worse than Dr Oz and Mike Richards!

  • Linda H - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings got my vote but I worry about LeVar getting it for his sci-fi fan base. Burton doesn’t have a natural affinity for this and the show is supposed to be about the contestants and not the host. Contestants will do better with Jennings

  • Pauline Maggard - 3 years ago

    Richards is clearly the best! Ken Jennings good, but doesn’t hold a candle to Richards! The rest were only tolerable. I’ve watched Jeopardy since the first show and I think the standard set by a Alec Trebec will be had to fill. Pick wisely.

  • Bj - 3 years ago

    I really liked Mike Richards and Ken Jennings. Not mayim, levar or Oz please.

  • Jerry Thomas - 3 years ago

    By far my pick would be Mackenzie Jones .Give her a chance

  • Audrey - 3 years ago

    Burton is the worse so far. He makes too many mistakes.

  • J.D. Wohlers - 3 years ago

    I really thought Mayim was terrific ????

    And Ken Jennings has the personality of an artichoke.. I find him an irritating little oaf

    Levar Burton hasn’t been given much of a chance... Jennings was given 6 weeks as guest host

    Levar Burton, Robin Roberts were both good

    Mike Richards was too overpowering... he wants to be the star of the show ????

  • Brenda Thompson - 3 years ago

    Levar is by far the worst ,he cannot read clues correctly and doesn't have a clue about keeping the game going. Come on, who thought he was going to be so wonderful?

  • Robbie - 3 years ago

    Buzzy Cohen. . .the very best! He doesn't talk down to the contestants, he reacts just like Alex did with all of his guest on the show. . .Complete Thumbs up! Have him on a few more time so your viewers can see him some more.

  • J. Chambers - 3 years ago

    Please not Lavar! Unfortunately he’s been off key this far! Mistakes, loud, and seems to get the players out of sync. I will stop watching if either Burton or Ken Jennings get the job. Mike Richards is my choice.

  • Msmythe - 3 years ago

    Not levar. He is just terrible
    Not pleasant at all.just terrible

  • Phyllis Risser Baum - 3 years ago

    LaVar Burton reads the clues like he’s reading to children. Shouts at the contestants when he acknowledges their answers which must be a little unnerving. I will be very disappointed and disinterested in Jeopardy if he becomes permanent host.

  • Marjorie - 3 years ago

    NO for Lavar Burton!!!!! Jeopardy is not for him. Has annoying voice and overacts. He should lose the earning and wear his eye band from Star Trek .

  • Jan - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings is my favorite and has been since the beginning.
    Won't watch if it's anyone other than Ken Jennings. No one else is as good as him.

  • Lois McManus - 3 years ago

    Very disappointed in LeVar, I can't stand to watch him.

  • Marjorie - 3 years ago

    NO for Lavar Burton!!!!! Jeopardy is not for him. Has annoying voice and overacts. He should lose the earning and wear his eye band from Star Trek .

  • Marty - 3 years ago

    Please…anyone but Levar! He is terrible at this. Tonight a contestant said the right answer and he said WRONG, then Right. I have had to shut him off every night. He is like fingernails on a chalkboard—loud and over the top—and I will NOT watch it anymore if he is named host, agreeing with many here who said the same!

  • Pat ferguson - 3 years ago

    My choice is Mayim. She has the personality
    And was very good with the contestants. Such a funny lady.

  • bj silver - 3 years ago

    I think Robin Roberts was wonderful! She is bright and warm and comfortable behind the podium.
    My second choice or tied for first is Ken Jennings.

    Levar Burton is too stiff and forced.

  • Maureen O'Boyle - 3 years ago

    I still like Ken Jennings the best. Mayim and Aaron were both good but Ken is still my favorite. He has a quick wit like Alex did. The other guest hosts lacked that personalization and bit of humor.

  • Melissa Moore - 3 years ago

    Please not LeVar, this is definitely not for him.

  • Perry M. Ford III - 3 years ago

    From my observation, Mike Richards has shown the most professional, picturesque, and personal character befitting one who would be a great Jeopardy host! His attitude, demeanor, style, character, and walk was consistent with the flow of the show!

  • Shar Frank - 3 years ago

    Definitely Not Levar !

  • Mary Brown - 3 years ago

    Robin Roberts is the most impressive guest host in my opinion. She was confident and very articulate and warm.

  • Mary - 3 years ago

    Ken or Mayim would be my choice. Levar Burton would cause me to give up Jeopardy. Too hyper and over acts.

  • Donna - 3 years ago

    Please not Oz, Gupta or Lavar. I know that Lavar Burton has a fan base, but I don't think this is his strong suit.

  • Carolyn McCoy - 3 years ago

    Ken Jennings has been the best by far, seemed comfortable in the role, reacted well with the contestants, and obviously knew immediately whether the responses were correct or not. Aaron Rogers was surprisingly my second favorite. I had high hopes for Levar Burton but have been disappointed. He is painful to watch and listen to.

  • Hazel Hunkerford - 3 years ago

    Lavar Burton is the worst. His speech is hard to understand. Also Mike Richards has a connection to the show.
    Thanks

  • Carole - 3 years ago

    I haven’t liked this whole year of substitutes. It’s taken a lot from the games & put more attention on the guest host. I’m tired of it all & at the point of not caring if I miss a program.

  • Hartzy - 3 years ago

    I think Mike Richard's is the best by far easy to listen to knowledgeable and I think wants to do Alex proud

  • Karen Seest - 3 years ago

    LeVar Burton is the worst. He pauses too long between questions and letting the contestants know if the answer is correct. He has made more than 1 error.

  • Larry Ross - 3 years ago

    Buzzy is a natural for the host of Jeopardy.
    I will quit watching Jeopardy if Burton is selected, he thinks it all about him.

  • Pat Anderson - 3 years ago

    I would quit watching Jeopardy if Lavar Jackson becomes host. Not many have impressed me but could handle Aaron Rodgers best.

  • Jean - 3 years ago

    Would not watch if Ken Jennings or LeVar Burton win. Anybody else was OK. Well, not Dr. Oz.

  • Connie DeGrazio - 3 years ago

    I did not care for Mayim, Levar or Ken Jennings, NOT DOWN TO EARTH LIKE ALEX WAS?
    My Choice would be Aaron, Buzzy or Mike Richards, Really Mike ,
    But why would He give up Being Producer of Show. THESE PROBABLY FIT IN MORE WITH MOST PEOPLE IN GENERAL AND MADE WATCHING THE SHOW ENJOYABLE,LIKE ALEX.
    GOD BLESS ALEX.

  • Mary - 3 years ago

    LeVar burton has been a huge disappointment. He’s putting on a ridiculous show & overacting big time. Please , anyone but ken Jennings. He’s so arrogant and his voice is beyond annoying

  • Bev Thomas - 3 years ago

    Buzzy has Jeopardy host written all over him. I think he has the potential to be as sharp and well-liked as Alex.

  • George Wright - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards is the Best by a wide margin, but he should be because, he is after all the show's producer. Ken Jennings is who Trebex wanted and he is the next best, however everyone did okay, including Dr. Oz, the hate for him is ridiculous, he was as good and better than some, I don't understand!

  • Susan - 3 years ago

    I really was disappointed in Levar Burton...thought he was acting more than hosting...the contestants should be the stars...My favorite is Robin Roberts...warm, quiet, yet in control...very easy to see her????

  • Barbara Ann Sikora - 3 years ago

    Mayim and Michael are the best. Both seem comfortable as host are quick to respond when the contestants answer
    and are very knowledgeable.

    So far, LeVar has not had the courtesy to acknowledge Alex on any of the shows. He is self centered and boring. If he becomes permanent host my family will no longer watch the show.

  • SHIRLEY Reynolds - 3 years ago

    Mike Richards the best but I assume he is not available. So my two favorites are buzzy and Savannah. They did the best. I did not care for mayim or levar.

  • Marilyn Probert - 3 years ago

    I would like to see Brad Rutter try out. He has an engaging personality and is very bright (of course!). I think he would be a wonderful host.

  • Elaine - 3 years ago

    Richards is really good . Very relaxed & at ease with the audience. I Would love to see him as permanent host. Lavar Burton is just awful. In my opinion he’s worse than Dr Oz. If he was going to be on for more than a week, I wouldn’t be able to watch him. He’s nervous, he appears unsure of himself.Not pleasant to watch.

  • Pat - 3 years ago

    Aaron Rogers is my top choice

    Please NOT Ken Jennings.....he is too cocky and a know it all. Very irritating.

  • Judy Stapleton - 3 years ago

    I always felt Alex really wanted Ken Jennings to replace him and I think he did a good job once he overcame his nervousness.

  • Bill Nesbitt - 3 years ago

    Richards is the best by far. Burton, the latest guest host, is too dramatic, has a squeaky, irritating voice and is one of the worst so far.

    #2 is Ken Jennings.
