Nice and diverse.

Forever ruined. Ken Jennings is not the way to go.

In terms of being a permanent host - was it the controversial tweets that really kept Jennings out? Or was his schedule a bigger problem?

I love this pair!

Ken is my first choice over all others. I met Mayim ages ago when we were teenagers, just once but we hung out together for an afternoon. Have no idea how she will be on the show, but very happy for her.

Cool!

Gross.

THIS is reasonable. Jeopardy

I see they made the White choice.

Why not buzztronics too!? 😔

What!? You mean they haven’t found an offensive comment that they made 40 years ago to cancel them yet?

Ugh

It feels like they're just waiting out her Fox show to get cancelled, and then she'll be the full time host.
