This is like the Contrapoints video on cancel culture. It sounds like Ken Jennings is a villain because he touched someone who made a dozen bad taste tweets out of thousands over the last ten years.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Can we all just agree to ignore Twitter for the next forever or so?

He loves his kids doesn't mean he gives a shit about you or your group.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Alex's last show is tonight. Video tribute to him

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Show will never be the same

Also, Bing Pot!

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

That was very well done. I shed a tear.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Strangely, it didn't stir my emotions.

Aaand that's a huge lie. I had to watch it alone, so my wife didn't have to watch a grown man weep, again.

It's still surreal that he died shortly after that taping. He looked just fine. He sounded a little hoarse, again, but that was about it.

The show will never be the same.

RIP Alex

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Just let me know if they announce Leslie Jones as a guest host so I can blow my brains out

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Snoop Dogg.

He's already hosted Joker's Wild after all...

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

I'm still haven't been able to bring myself to watch these last episodes. I stopped watching Jeopardy when he died.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

You could tell that Alex wasn’t well when he filmed these last few episodes. His voice was rough when he spoke. His Executive Producer said in his last days once the cameras cut, Alex was in pain, but he sucked it up.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

I tossed on Jeopardy! on Netflix after having not watched it in a while and it started me with season 34 and I got to watch the wonderful run by Austin Rogers, that was really entertaining. I impressed my kids with how many I got right, too, and my oldest was floored that she knew It's a Wonderful Life for Final Jeopardy! in one of the episodes.

I'll catch some of Alex's last episodes later.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Nice photo montage Tribute on the Final Ep on Friday, sigh....

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Agreed. Social media is one of the worst things to happen to this country in the past 20 years.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Tuned in to see how Ken Jennings did on his first show as a game show host...as a game show host goes he was very bland. Glad they will be having other guest hosts come in.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Not surprised. He comes across as a rather smarmy dullard. I recall during his first run he told a "hilarious" story about how when he and his family go see a movie they all shout out when the name of the movie is name dropped. I would tell them to shut the fuck up if they were say anywhere near me and my family.

Lets hope someone with actual charisma or a persoanlity gets the gig.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Jennings was pretty much what I expected him to be. The opening tribute was well done, but the game itself was a little bland. Given his history on the show, he's a great temporary host, but I don't see him developing into a permanent replacement.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

I thought Ken was fine. Also, it was his first show, so maybe he was a little stiff.

I certainly haven't heard anyone else suggested that I'd prefer. :shrug:

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

I liked him as well. He's no Alex but nobody will be.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

how long is he supposed to be on?

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Ken's opening was good

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
 

I saw him say in an interview that by the end of his six weeks he finally started to relax and have fun.
