Bad choice

Keep him permanently

AdamFoodSafety check the 7:30 Jeopardy snap group.

Excellent! He should be the permanent host.

Never Jennings.

Just lost a life long Jeopardy fan & devoted viewer...

this is a great choice.

Surely louisvirtel will be the second guest host, right?!

I stan this.

IBM's Watson should be a guest host!

Ugh. I wouldn't want to be the first one. He's being led to slaughter. Probably the third or fourth spot is best. That person might actually get the job.

Jennings is the ONLY choice. Everyone loves this, that and the other (me included), but we're talking about complete package. Ok, done, now let's have fun with guest host. :)

Ken's a jerk. No thanks.

LeVar Burton

Here's hoping he says 'I knew that!' after every wrong 'question'.

i think jeopardy should be like doctor who...

Good choice! I like the fact that they are doing guest hosts for awhile, giving the audience a chance to process Alex Trebek’s passing, before choosing someone permanent for the job.

I think he's the best possible replacement. Let's see how he takes to the pressure of being in charge and making the show flow as beautifully as Alex did. I hope he passes muster!

Guest?! Why is he just the new host?

Great!

They actually should give him the position indefinitely. He’s actually the best suited candidate to be Mr. Trebek‘s successor!

He also mocks disabled people.....

What about Betty White?

Will KenJennings be performing his stand up routine on air?

Yea, this still hurts Fuck you 2020

thanks for this news

LoganMDavis carrie_mmm

Very appropriate and if you ask they should extend this to all former champions.

Wow another white man, what a totally surprising and bold choice...

Does he even need the answers?

Amazing. He’s proven to be a likeable contestant, worthy champion, respectful of the show’s history and a pretty nice guy all around. I hope it’s made permanent, assuming of course he’d do it!

NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo.........

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

He’s perfect for it.

👎🏽

I used to watch Jeopardy three nights a week. Now I'll watch zero.

That’s nice for now. But can we all agree this ultimately belongs to levarburton?

Why?

His voice puts me to sleep.
