    You would think bringing up the rear would be a Bomb, but Joe Buck killed it as the best of the guest hosts. He was personable, quick, intelligent, and read questions great. I was a Ken Jennings fan all the way , but Buck’s performance was right up there. He would make a great Jeopardy host.

    joe buck gets my vote. his interaction with the contestants his humor and pacing wdre spot on.
    my second choice would be aaron.
    but reLly, joe stood out from the crowd.

    Joe Buck was so much fun! He was a true fan, very professional but knew just when to interject fun personable comments. He was a blast!

    Joe Buck is the best host out of all the guest hosts that appeared and some that shouldn't have appeared including the ones that were chosen. As I have read in comments, I too will cease to be a Jeopardy fan, when Matt is dethroned.

  • Mike Edwards - 3 years ago

    Joe my first choice. Don't follow sports and never heard of Joe. He had interesting delivery and was engaged with the players. He appeared to be genuinely glad to be part of Jeopardy
    Buzzy close second choice. Better as host than expected.
    Arron third choice and before Joe's and Buzzy's turns , he was first choice. Oz shouldn't have had a turn
    Savannah had a great presence and could be easily accepted. Don't care for Mike or Mayim and not a ken fan

    If they stick to M & M as hosts, my 32 years of watching Jeopardy every time it is on will end, I'm afraid
    Well after Matt retires, that is.

    Joe Buck was the best by far! It's a shame he never had a chance.

  • Kathy Dewey - 3 years ago

    Loved Joe Buck as the best
    guest host!! Hire him! Mike Richard's already has an important job on Jeopardy.

  • Gigi Parton - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck was the best host by far. He was the only guest host who seemed relaxed. He was funny and knowledgeable. All of the other guests were stiff and seemed to be just reading answers and questions. Joe sounded better prepared than the others. He’s a keeper!

  • Richelle Irlander - 3 years ago

    I loved Joe Buck, he has integrity. He did remind me of Alex, made everyone comfortable. I also think Ken Jennings should come back. That was tough being the first guest host of Jeopardy. He was trying to be sensitive & not over step. I have no respect for Richard's. Anyone who takes advantage of women shouldn't be a host.

  • Sue - 3 years ago

    Annoying from the sound of his voice to comments made to contestants. So happy his time on the show is over.

  • Jane Smith - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck spent too much time on Matt and didn't talk up the rest of the contestants.
    I think Mike Richards will make a fine host. Just glad it wasn't Aaron Rodgers. I would have stopped watching Jeopardy.

  • Pat grace - 3 years ago

    Left the best for the last. Joe Buck is my first and only choice

  • Martha Barnette - 3 years ago

    Mike is above and beyond the Best to host. I will not watch if LaVar is picked for anything ....My picks were Aaron, Mike and Ken
    I don't like what's her face Bailik and No to Joe.

  • Steve Levin - 3 years ago

    HELL NO. AND GET RID OF THAT DISGUSTING WITCH AT THE SAME TIME. IF SHE REMAINS A PART TIME HOST, I WILL NEVER WATCH MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOW AGAIN.

  • D.J. - 3 years ago

    Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Joe Buck; hopefully, it's on YouTube. I think he's one of the best in broadcasting(opines this retired radio guy)so, I want to see how he fared.

  • Jim Lester - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck should be the new Jeapordy host full-time...He has like a Max Headroom personality--gets the whole stage excited...Poor choice with Richards...He is just another same old tv host from the past...Bring in the new!!!

  • Diane Jacoby - 3 years ago

    I had no idea who Joe Buck was before this. I knew who all the other guest hosts were. I thought he was the best of the best. I had my mind & heart set on Ken Jennings, he deserves the job as a true face of the game, plus he was the best at hosting..However, Joe Buck was teriffic.
    I won't be watching Jeopardy any more. There choice was not based on talent & skill, it was based on politics . Mayim was chosen as a token " non-white male" , although she was good, she wasn't as good as Jennings & Buck. GOOD BYE JEOPARDY. R.I.P. ALEX

  • Carol Lee Thomas - 3 years ago

    You can’t get better than Joe Buck. He has the background for being a Great Announcer: He also will be inducted in the football
    Hall of Fame along with his Father who had been an excellent Announcer as well. Joe brought fun and excitement to the show
    with his style and reminded me of Alex. Very good with the contestants making them comfortable and was very funny.
    Also he had perfect timing. He fit the show like it was his own.First time I saw Joe on television announcing a football game just heard his voice and thought what a nice voice .I could listen to him all the time. He also has done many different venues from Baseball, Football, Olympics and Specials.
    HE’S PERFECT FOR THE JOB CAN’T DO BETTER…….

  • Judy Ryan - 3 years ago

    I think Joe Buck did a great job on Jeopardy! He added a little humor to the game. He’s quick on the uptake. He connected with Matt Amodio in a special way that no other guest host did. Put him in the job instead of Bialik.

    Joe Buck was the best guest host, very personable and positive.

  • Darlene Weller - 3 years ago

    You saved the best for last. Really like him as the host

  • Brenda Naegle - 3 years ago

    Really liked Joe Buck...my husband liked him in sports and in Jeapordy. I think he kept the flavor of the show spot on!

  • Ginny G. - 3 years ago

    Mike and Mayim were my favorites by far, but Joe Buck was even better than Alex!

  • Judy Bloyd - 3 years ago

    I think Richards is not Jeopardy material. He's definitely not a replacement for Alex. My opinion is Joe Buck was the best. He has a good sense of humor. I'm like some of the others, when Matt is
    done I'll not watch Jeopardy any more. Mr. Richards has ruined a good thing for the memory of Alex. Too bad.

  • Bob Neville - 3 years ago

    Joe did a great job, infusing humor as well as directing the show in an efficient manner. Just like his football and baseball announcing, he well spoken and informative.
    Mike Richards also did a great job and will be good as the permanent host.
    I’m sure Mayim will do well hosting the special events.
    The one that many people seemed to want from the beginning was, in my opinion, one of the worst. Great guy, but too many pauses and delays after an answer was given. Very distracting and it throws the efficiency of the game off.
    So, good luck Mike and Mayim and put Joe on the short list to fill in if needed.

  • Lulu - 3 years ago

    Never heard of him, first show... Who is this loud guy!!? Then he grew on me. Has all great qualities of a game show host, and much better than all current hosts on those awful game shows ( except wheel host) . Way better than Richards, what a bore. I too thought that was a done deal.?? How do we get the "heads" to overturn their decision?? BIG mistake! I'm afraid I'll lose my Jeopardy enthusiasm if Richards stays. I'd be happy with Ken or Joe.

  • Ghyslaune - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck is my #1. Good looping, very good diction speaking, very lunch intéressés in participants, gréât timing. He could do both football and heipardy

  • Braunyman - 3 years ago

    Can't stand him as a sportscaster but I thought he kicked a$$ as Jeopardy host.

  • Tom McCullough - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck brought the same excitement to Jeopardy, as he does
    to MLB and NFL broadcasts. He also had the best personality of any of the other guest hosts. It was an honor for me to watch you for the full week. Job well done.

  • PUla moore - 3 years ago

    Really like him very much. Brings lot of personality to show. The best.

  • Chris - 3 years ago

    He has an easygoing manner and reassuring presence. Kind of sorry the decision of host had already been made. He is one of my favorite hosts.

  • Kathy - 3 years ago

    I had never heard of Joe Buck, but really enjoyed his time on the show! Loved his quick wit and sense of humor. My opinion he should be the number one pick!

  • Jeff H - 3 years ago

    With his quick wit and easy stage presentation style he most resembles the late Alex.... Joe is louder, but that can be tweaked.... I enjoyed his style far better than that of many of the other guest hosts. Sorry he won't get the job.

  • Richard Solomon - 3 years ago

    Tell him to stop screaming.

  • Zits Bishop - 3 years ago

    I had never seen, or heard about Joe Buck prior to his stint on Jeopardy, but I think he's doing a fine job.

  • Pam - 3 years ago

    I'm not a big sports fan, so this is the first time I saw or heard Joe Buck---I thought he did a GREAT job; he was very entertaining, quick witted---I hope he gets the permanent position! Seems like most of the people who said No just had another favorite.

  • V jones - 3 years ago

    Love Joe Buck-enjoy listening to him call a game & think he’s done a great job on Jeopardy.I did like Mike Richards at first but now it all seems like a done deal so I’m not such a fan-Mayim Bialik did a good job but I don’t care for that choice.If it doesn’t work out w/Mike maybe they can reconsider & use Joe Buck.And this has nothing to do w/the choice but I would like to add I am really enjoying Matt!

  • Stephanie - 3 years ago

    Have watched the show off and on for years (I'm old) and I think Aaron Rogers, David Faber, and Joe Buck have been the best. Picking Bialik is like picking Dr Oz. She may have a degree but she's anti-science. Sorry but I think Lavar Burton treated contestants like they were 7 year Olds learning a new subject in school. Whole process sounds rigged to be honest. I'll keep watching as long as Matt stays on, then I'm done. Definitely won't watch Bialik specials.

  • JUDY - 3 years ago

    THANK YOU JOE BUCK you did an awesome job. I have enjoyed you doing football and baseball gameS...but this showed how talented you are. YOU are a NATURAL. (PUN INTENDED)

  • David J Wise - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck was fantastic! I wouldn't mind if they named him, Aaron Rodgers, or Lavar Burton. But not the "2" that they did. Which is also bizarre to me. Although I did like Mayim too.

  • Dennis Borgman - 3 years ago

    Surprisingly, Joe Buck was the best...by far.

  • Fernando J Mane - 3 years ago

    No idea who Joe Back was but, boy this man really has it, in fact it looks to me that he infused an excitement that has been missing since Alex left us.

  • Maxim J Dowd Jr - 3 years ago

    I was hoping Mike Rowe would have an audition.

  • Margaret Boon - 3 years ago

    Very disappointed Aaron Rodgers wasn't selected as new Jeopardy host

    Mike Richards... NO, NO, NO

    Your decision leaves my intention of continuing to watch Jeopardy...in jeopardy.

  • Brenda - 3 years ago

    I really wanted Ken. We'll see how this goes.

  • Laura - 3 years ago

    I liked Aaron, Mike, Dave and Joe.

  • Phyllis - 3 years ago

    I don't follow sports, so I had no preconceived opinion of Joe Buck. I enjoyed his upbeat personality and enthusiasm. I also liked Dave Faber and would have preferred one of them as host. But, the decision for a permanent replacement was probably made before either had hosted.

  • Webb - 3 years ago

    Too bad the hosts have already been chosen. In my opinion, Joe Black is, by far, the best host for the show. His show presence is very reminiscent of Alex Trebek. Always left me feeling excited to tune in the next night. I’m Sad you missed out on selecting the best one so far.

  • Linda DiClemente - 3 years ago

    Only Ken Jennings. No, no, no....to Joe Buck! Thank you.

  • Mary Donnelly - 3 years ago

    Although I really liked Mike Richards, I think Joe Buck was the absolutely the best. A voice I wouldn’t get tired of every night and pleasant to look at and funny.

  • Benten - 3 years ago

    As a baseball fan, I’m very familiar with Joe Buck. However, I was pleasantly shocked by his hosting turn. I think he was really far and away the best. He was laugh out loud funny, loose, brought out the best with the contestants, was very encouraging to them, called the game in an exciting way that sculpted a narrative. And his timing as great. He was the only host to make the game his own. I loathe what Richards pulled, and I won’t watch anymore.

  • Kevin Carlson - 3 years ago

    I think I like Joe Buck the best. He seemed at ease was quick with his wit. Like a previous commenter said it felt that it was already decided for who they picked but it was still fun with all the guest hosts. Still no one is going to replace Alex Trebeck.

  • Carolyn - 3 years ago

    Best host he should have been the replacement. He has a good sense of humor he reminds me so much of Alex Trebek they missed the boat on this one.

  • Wayne - 3 years ago

    Joe Buck did a great job better than most but I like the format of guest hosts.

  • T J Barrow - 3 years ago

    When I saw who got the job, it made me think the whole thing was a publicity stunt, with a predetermined winner. Who has a better shot than the executive producer of the show. It’s a terrible thing to do something so obvious, at least to me. So the boss gets the job.

  • Judy - 3 years ago

    I have no idea who this guy is and have never heard of him but as far as I'm concerned, they left the best for last. He would be my #1 choice for host!

  • Carol Wychopen - 3 years ago

    Have enjoyed his time on the show. Was not familiar before this but did a great job
