Personally I am okay with allowing a winner to see how far they can go. It must be a popular feature or else they would do away with it.
@engineer,
Yeah, it’s the 10th most populous nation? Who knew?!
After the turn to find Trebek’s successor became messy, Bialik and Jennings were hired as interim hosts throughout the remainder of Season 39, which is currently airing. After that, there’s no word yet on whether a new hosting contender might be considered, or if a choice will be made between Jennings and Bialik. Another option: Sony Pictures Television, the show’s producer, could decide to stick with the status quo and allow the duo continue splitting duties. Sony Pictures Television declined to comment.
@edgarblythe,
I, for one, like them both sharing the spot. However, no one will do the job quite as good as Alex. A “Hollywood Slicko” would be ghastly out-of-place.
They both are doing some great work. The show has to move on and I think it is bearing up very well.
@edgarblythe,
My family didn’t agree on many shows but we all agreed on Jeopardy. I recall the old days with Art Fleming before Alex was even on the show. My sister, her hubby and my SO still watch the show at her house across town.
@Ragman,
I had to laugh at one of the questions just now, a Biblical question. Something about the bigger they are the harder they fall and this guy fell with a stone in his forehead.
The categories seem to be worse than they were it one time with a lot more popular culture. Or maybe my memory is just going.
@coluber2001,
I think the titles have a different flavor than before. Whoever picks the titles and editors may be trying for a younger demographic.
Feh, how nice!
I'm preparing to watch tonight's college version on ABC.
On rare occasions the questions on the show are out of kilter, such as mentioning that a N Vietnam gunboat fired on an American warship in the Gulf of Tonkin. At the time it was acknowledged that that never happened, but was used as a pretext to go full scale in the war.
@edgarblythe,
A sort of false false flag operation.
@coluber2001,
Correct. I knew a few guys from that incident. They weren't allowed to talk about it, but they managed to let me know in subtle ways that it was malarky.
Screw you Ivy league ...a northeastern university student made it to final jeopardy where I attended for my masters degree
@Linkat,
One of the finalists is fairly local from Texas.
This is it. The Texan gonna take it all.
