i agree with that and they would be wise to aim at a younger audience with quarterly rotation of Levar / Jennings / Buzzy imo though they really need to add at least one female host... why did Julia Collins not get an audition?

Bialik to host the first three weeks back and will be followed by TBA guest hosts.

Has Laura Coates ever said anything about Alex Trebek's desire for her to host the show? Assuming she's not averse to giving it a whirl, they should definitely invite her to be a part of the next string of guest hosts.

That's like fourth on the list of her most pressing issues (see her anti-vaxx/pseudoscience history, her promotion of weird home-birth views, and saying women who don't dress "modestly" may invite sexual assault).

I kinda think TV/Movie/music people had it better before the social media as they could be weird a$$ mf'ers and most people would not know unless it ended up with the cops or in People magazine.
― earlnash, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 12:48 (two years ago) link
Yeah, the existence of social media and a never-forgetting internet makes things much harder for people who would have slipped under the radar in previous eras.

That plus early social media era internet was pretty much 110% "look I'm rotten too!" posturing...

Right. I am reading through Richards’ comments now. Tasteless and insensitive stuff but it’s not like he was the only person making jokes like that in 2014.
― treeship., Tuesday, 24 August 2021 13:15 (two years ago) link
It’s good for Jeopardy’s sake to escape this dark cloud but I understand why, in the first place, they didn’t anticipate these comments being a problem. Bialik seems more problematic honestly but she also is a better host imo.
― treeship., Tuesday, 24 August 2021 13:16 (two years ago) link
solution: Max Headroom is host
― Duke Detain (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 24 August 2021 13:45 (two years ago) link
Which is all to say I get the campaign behind LeVar B. Only Mr. Rogers'es in key host roles from here on out imo.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:
The ideal host for Jeopardy! should embody what the show means to its viewership: a passion for knowledge and a respect for a diverse community. Maybe the host would also reflect that diversity in order to show that it’s not just white males who can be the gatekeepers to these values. What’s especially shocking is that the producers of a show that is about knowledge demonstrated a substantial lack of awareness of recent cultural history and the coming of age our institutions — from government to the academy to entertainment — have been going through.

I had a dream the new host was Steve Harvey and that he'd stare down the contestants after every wrong answer. and he'd introduce the shows like "Welcome to Jeopardy, we got a good one for you today folks, it's Jeff, and Kate, and our returning champion, my man Marcus"

How're you gonna ANSWER. Without PUTTIN it. In the form of a QUESTION!

It's really the entire industry.
John O'Hurley of Family Feud/Seinfeld fame is quite conservative.

Drew Carey was a Ron Paul guy. etc

Some judged Mike Richards solely on his podcast comments and formed a negative opinion, but I judged him by the way he treated people backstage at Jeopardy and formed a much stronger negative opinion https://t.co/mebtz0Tgc3— James Holzhauer (@James_Holzhauer) September 1, 2021
