Anyone watching Aaron Rodgers hosting Jeopardy?

[PromoTheRobot]

Acceptable first day. He sounds a little too mellow. Needs to add a little gravitas and let his personality come through.

They have been plugging this on the NFL, espn, etc for a few weeks now. I hope he does well. 🙂

I haven't watched a single episode since Trebek's last.  My wife tried to show me a few clues from one guest host and it was awful.

I read an interview with Rodgers on the Ringer about him hosting. He said that He can see what people write for their answers at his podium, so it wasn't a complete shock to him.

That is very interesting.

The Sean McDermott crack is what made me laugh.

It’s always hard to be the guy who follows THE guy. Better to be the next guy.

Have watched him a couple times now.  Agree with your assessment but assume on air personality will develop with time. 

 

It’s impossible not to compare him to Trebek,  but he had 30+ years to perfect his craft.

Unfortunately these guys are getting like two days to develop that personality. Maybe what @Augie said above has something to do with it.  Ram through a load of guest hosts while you decide on a permanent one and the permanent one will get lots of patience from the audience while he hones his talent.

They need to keep looking, that whole list is unacceptable.

 

I have an idea, how about someone with experience hosting a game show ?

What's Wink Martindale doing these days?

 

 

Unfortunately in this day and age, they usually just find a 'name' rather than anyone with any talent to host game shows.

I bet Fitzpatrick would be great as a Jeopardy host.

That glorious beard he sports would be the true star of the show.

As it should.

Mike Richards, who was the second guest host, does have previous game show experience. And so far among those that have hosted, he would be my pick.

I haven't watched any of the others because i think the first guest host Ken Jennings who is also the highest winning contestant ever is the perfect fit. His first night was a little shaky but then he settled in and like Alex was, you could tell he was the brightest bulb in the room. Just tell the rest of them thanks but no thanks...

I would make a point of tuning in to see that, just like I did a couple times with Rodgers. I’d like to see them competing, actually! @plenzmd1 could be the third person. Make one category OTB to give him a chance!
