I personally don't mind Joe Buck. I don't understand why so many average Joe sports fans despise him so much. I don't know if he's good at hosting a game show, but he isn't trash IMO as an on camera talent and broadcaster.

He's an outsider. Jeopardy is a pretty geeky show that has general appeal but really tends to the nerdy. IMO I think Ken Jennings or LeVar Burton would be the best pick. I mean come on why don't they have that set up yet?
But the scuttlebutt has Joe Buck as one of the front runners for taking the gig. Apparently he has 50 (?) shows to tape as apposed to most other guest hosts who have only done 10?

I take back what I said about Aaron Rogers fiddling with his wedding ring at the end of the first episode being evidence of his being nervous. He fiddled with his ring at the end of every episode, even towards the end when he was noticeably more relaxed.

There was a stretch last year during the World Series that he was on every single night for nearly a month straight on probably 4-5 different sports.
It’s too much.

And he even worked golf on FOX during the summer and people groaned seeing him on that coverage.

... I've only heard of two of those people.
Anderson Cooper is doing a great job. He comes across as smart and affable. I liked that he recognized Neuschwanstein and pronounced it with ease.

I haven't been watching, but he seems like he would be a good fit. He's whip-smart and his deadpan mien is second-to-none. On the other hand, I think Burton might be great as well. Aside: I went to Neuschwanstein as a child in 1986. I had a fever and wasn't feeling well, so I took a dip in the chilly tarn next to the castle.

Buzzy Cohen, the 2017 ToC champion, is hosting this year's ToC.
1st match was last night and the guy who won was super annoying and arrogant.

Re: Jeopardy! Discussion
Jeopardy! needs to have a single host. The focus should be on the game, the quality of the clues, and the caliber of the contestants themselves, not the host. They're playing this hosting game, and it is greatly detracting from the overall quality of the show.
I haven't watched since Alex's death... I also know that Alex was irreplaceable, and the show will never aspire to the same level of excellence ever again, and devolve into frivolity. So, I'm done, after 36-37 years of loving Jeopardy. (the first 8 or 9 years WITHOUT logo bugs!).
