Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
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.

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

I personally know John to be (a) a loving and attentive dad
This the loving person you know him to be also?

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

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

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.

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.

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
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.
