my man Bryan just just paid $3799 to troll Ken
I'd guess he didn't know the answer
It could've been free. The game was a runaway
@@deeblite he could’ve guessed 1 dollar then lol
No, is 3799 x 2 = 7598
@@champan250 oh good point! I guess I was going off he could have put 0 if he wasn't going to guess
No one will ever replace Alex in our hearts but Ken Jennings is doing a terrific job and I hope he stays!
I think Alex would want someone like Ken to fill his shoes in terms of hosting jeopardy
I think Ken is doing an amazing job and you can tell he's putting his heart and soul into doing both Jeopardy and Alex justice with his performance. I think Alex would be thrilled with how well he is doing. I hope Ken stays too!
I like him too but I’m hearing bad news all over that cbs is not planning to keep him
At first I did not like the idea of bringing in Ken Jennings to replace Alex, but I actually thought he has quite good, especially under the circumstances. They should keep him.
I know Aaron Rodgers is going to host a few games as a celebrity host
PLEASE keep Ken Jennings as the permanent host, he's a natural well spoken person with the just right amount of wit that shows his intelligence! Ken has my support.....
Yes! Please let him be permanent host!
He and Bialik are splitting hosting duties for the foreseeable future
@@alexheldman Yes! I heard on the internet.
now hes the permenant host
@@mackenziewachter2508Your wish came true!
I'm ok with Ken doing Jeopardy. I miss Alex, but I think Ken is doing a fantastic job.
Thank you
I totally misread this while skimming and thought you said you'd be ok with Ken Jeong hosting Jeopardy. For the record, I would agree with that!
Except he says thankyou alex everytime you should say it the first week or 2 but not everytime
@@lincs7994 k
Nah!
Ken's got 2 million reasons why that doesn't bother him a bit
Yes
4 million now! He makes that annually!
Does anyone else think Ken is channeling Alex? Reminds me of him so much which is great. A tribute. Hope he stays as permanent host.
I do.
It’s funny how he wasn’t going to be and now he is back again hosting. He is definitely going to stay with jeopardy forever
I loved Alex, and miss him terribly. But I think Ken’s quips with the players is better than Alex. Sometimes he seemed so stiff with contestants. Ken never does. Amy Farrah Fowler just gets on my last nerve.
Calling it now, if Ken lands the host job it will become a meme to use this answer in FJ if you have no idea. This will be the first of many
with the occasional "what is fed ex" thrown in.
"What is Aleve" is still my favorite meme answer. Trebek didn't understand it but contestant Alex was great.
Good point 👌🏻
That or FedEx would be funny too
My only hope is that if this does come to pass then Ken and the writers can come up with some rebuttal jokes. It could be a wonderful thing
Nancy Zerg liked that
@@chrisfinch8637 Lost her next game, unlike Emma Boetcher, who won three games before being dethroned herself.
@@gameshowguy2000 she even got to play in the TOC finals
@@gameshowguy2000 Never quite understood how Emma actually qualified for the Tournament of Champions. Most three day champions are never seen again. It always felt to me like she was given special treatment.
@@bunpeishiratori5849 Women’s Privilege.
They should have made a reaction video to Nancy watching this clip
The Smiley Face at the end of his response tho...
The "Thank you, Alex" gets me every time.
Perfectly handled, Ken! PLEASE be the permanent Jeopardy host. :)
I love how Ken thanks Alex at the end of each episode❤
Me too.
Ken Jennings once paid $400 to say “what’s a hoe?” This guy just paid $7,598 to troll Ken Jennings. He’s already bucking for GOAT.
I remember that.... & the audience laughed.
I remember too. I got it right, Ken blew it
Jennings' "What is a hoe" response was for the answer, "This term for a long-handled gardening tool can also mean an immoral pleasure seeker." Frankly, I think he should have been credited with a correct alternative answer.
You realize he made that wager before he saw the question right? He would've paid the same amount if he wrote noting.
@@howdareyou41 Yeah, that's instead of leaving it blank, not instead of a correct answer.
Keep ken as the host, please. He's knocking it out of the park and there's nobody more fitting for the role.
Not gonna happen.
sorry mate he said a bad thing on twitter like 8 years ago. obviously he's the devil lmao
@@andrewb378 it wasn’t even that bad too lmao, a little worded incorrectly but some people are just mad sensitive
@@tien315 that's social media for ya. Everything you say sticks around forever and you better hope it doesn't end up being "wrong" a dozen years from now
@@revinhatol I'm not sure where you got some of those names, but the current list is as follows: Katie Couric Aaron Rodgers Bill Whitaker Mayim Bialik source: www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/news-events/roster-guest-hosts-announced
Funniest answer that take back Ken memories😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please make Ken the permanent host. He’s the perfect fit.
There are going to be other temp hosts that will get a try too.
@@Bull1908 yes, everyone knows that. Thus why I said Ken for when the permanent position is decided.
Aaron Rodgers will be a good host for Jeopardy.
@@JoJodyssey Spoken like a packer fan. He's good for NFL Today.
@@JoJodyssey damn I know you were probably joking at the time, but you called it.
Give Ken the gig!
To this end, he'll be Permanent Host! Always liked Ken Jennings
I’m really loving Ken as a host right now
"You are indeed a giant killer!" is like a nightmare to Ken Jennings, yet he got 2 million from Jeopardy!
@@chrisfinch8637 $4+ million lol
Ken,,every time you said**Thank you Alex** It makes me tears😰😰😰 Love you,, and please don’t stop saying that..God Bless♥️
H&R Block. Wow. This rings many bells.
When he gave that answer, he knew he was already in Jeopardy.
the thank you alex at the end always hits home so hard :(
Yeah.... I think we’re going to hear that for quite a while 🙁
Brian hiding a smirk for his troll answer is quite good.
Guy’s a POS.
@@irenemazur3556 but he’s funny
Last week, an answer had the question “What is H&R Block?” during the round, and Ken Jennings’ response was “Correct! I didn’t know that.” Which was followed by laughter from the audience.
Does Ken always say "thank you, Alex" ? Class act. KJL 23
someone mentioned in another comment that Ken always says “Thank you Alex” at the end of the shows
@@FrugalGal are you sure that you are not spreading fake news about Ken Jennings
@@FrugalGal do you have proof si I can see Edit: So*
As he continues to host today, he doesn't anymore, but I'm sure he still says that in his heart.
I’ve been watching Ken Jennings for two weeks. Lot of class for first shows, getting into the rhythms this week. Go back and watch Alex’s first month. Mr. Jennings will do just fine carrying on the appeal of this show.
KEEP KEN AS PERMANENT HOST
Great job Ken. You made alec proud!!
Ken in the thumbnail be like: "Oh so u wanna fight?"
So funny, LOL. I remember that. Ken's doing a great job.
Ken is doing a great job as host.
ken is such a great host. makes my heart smile. i really hope they sign him on permanently.
Ken, I think your doing a wonderful job, a great tribute to Alex! Thank you.
Every episode should end with "Thank you, Alex" until the show is finally canceled by the explosion of our sun 🌞
@Steve Yochim Fleming hosted for all of 10 years in the 60's and 70's and when they asked him to come back in the 80's, dude straight up said no because iTs mOvINg to hOLlywoOD aND tHAt MeAnS tHe ShOWs gOinG to BE dUmBEr aNd lEss reALiStIC. So no I don't give a shit about his performance as the original host. I know nothing else about him and I have no reason to be a fan. Just because he was the original host and friend to Alex doesn't mean a lot to me personally.
I am very very ok with Ken Jennings being a permanent host.
Me too man.
Me three
One reason why I would like to see him as the host is he earned the spot through his intellectual abilities on the show and he’s not just a celebrity from Hollywood will be given the spot because of notoriety
@@msmith4700 I personally like the way he delivers answers and how he can take a little bit of a ribbing by the contestants
I"ve never watched Jeopardy all that much, BUT having Ken as a permanent host would make a lot of sense!
Ken makes a great host for jeopardy
Dudes hardly been on the job and he's already getting bullied lmao
I really love Ken as the host. It just feels right, after Alex.
I bursted out laughing when I saw this live 🤣
Put Ken Jennings Back on show he is amazing .
Ken jennings is doing an outstanding job!
"Thank you, Alex." That's going to trigger tears for quite some time.
He knew he couldn't be caught and was guaranteed to win anyway, (he had more than twice the amount of the next highest person) so why not troll the new host?
Sure. But why give away thousands to do it when he could do it for free? Amping it up? edit: Nah. Fool didn't know it.. just lucky it was a runaway
OMG Tommy Boy! You're so smart and should win the einstein award!
@@dillcifer They wager before they see the question. So, the theory when you're that far in the lead is: "why not bet enough to make sure you still win if you get it wrong in the possibility of making more money?"
@@chrisfinch8637 Funny thing about that is, Leonard Cooper was NOT guaranteed a win. He didn't wager anything in game 2. Had the young man in first going into that game gotten the correct response, he would have won instead.
Why not a dollar
Ken you need to be the permanent host like what are you doing please!!!! No one is worthy but maybe you!!!
For as long as Ken remains host, anytime a contestant doesn't know the correct question, they're going to write "What is H&R Block?" LOL
They could also reply with “What is FedEx”
@@alexmcintyre8229 was that the response he gave in the game that he lost?
Ken Jennings does Alex Trebek proud by hosting as he did, with grace, intelligence and a smoothly delivered show, filled with his obvious love and great respect for Alex Trebek. I have truly enjoyed Ken's abilities first as an amazing player of the game, and now as the first guest host. It seems a perfect fit as a tribute to Alex that Ken Jennings be the permanent host. If you agree, please let your voice be heard!!! 👍👍👍
Ken won as Jeopardy full time host by 70%. Congratulations, Mr. Jennings. 👏
I love Ken as the host of Jeopardy!!!!
Ken is such a good host
I actually really like the idea of ken as the new host for jeopardy. I think that’s smart and he plays the role well.
Love ken Jennings as host!!
You just know Alex Trebek was laughing at that response from Heaven. We miss you, sir. Jeopardy will live on, we won’t let you down.
Ken Jennings is a blessing of host after Alex. I love Ken! Please hire Ken Jennings forevermore. He knows how to communicates with the players. His voices is clearly calm me down. I noticed in Ken is he loves and caring for the players. Please, Lord! Mr. Ken Jennings 2022 forever. Peace
Great Job Ken. So proud and impressive of how you are stepping in doing a great job. Susan
Ken is doing a great job. Very professional👍
When I saw this on TV, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
Been watching Jeopardy again. Ever since Alex died. I think that Ken is a great host. You can tell that he knows a lot of the answers, and is almost frustrated when the contestants don't.
Another vote for Ken Jennings, he's doing great. 👍
Ken is doing a great job. I'm very happy to say.
Ken Jennings has to be the new permanent host of Jeopardy! Nuff said ~
Lol I love how Ken responded to this
CBS...Jeopardy execs...keep Mr.Jennings on, he's doing a fabulous job...just the right fit.
First EPIC lol moment of the Post-Trebek era! Good thing his victory was a lock already.
We love you Ken, and I hope both you and the producer will remove your “guest” title making the next permanent host for Jeopardy!
Ken took it all in stride.
I was wondering who they were going to get to fill Alex's shoes. Suddenly the most perfect person was doing it. I can't believe I didn't think of it. Kudos to who ever did think of asking Ken and kudos to Ken for doing a great job!
I completely agree, no one can ever do it better and with more love and respect for the great Alex. You're perfect Ken. Well done.
Ken Jennings is the only host who knows the game, what the contestants need and was close to Alex in a very special way, and it shows.
Mike Richards
Please keep Ken Jennings as a host. He has a wonderful personality, perfect for the job!
I'm writing this on May 6, 2022, and after watching Ken Jennings host now for a while, he is, by far, the best of the best! Observe how he communicates with the contestants. There's no doubt he makes them feel at ease. There's great flow of dialogue. Yes, Alex will always be remembered, but I make no apologies, Ken Jennings is the best and needs to be the named the permanent host!
This is going to be a running gag with contestants when by they don't know the answer if Ken hangs around.
Like Kebert Xela?
That and FedEx too...
They should stick with Jennings cause I really like him as the new host, hes doing a great job.
His hosting style is in dead heat with Trebek
Yes! Alex will always live in our hearts. Ken Jennings is super. I hope he'll get the job.
Ken Jennings, you are definitely the #1 choice to be the new host!
Why is Ken Jennings dead?
i love that Ken says thank you Alex!
I remember being SO PROUD when I got the H&R Block answer correct. I've got nothing on Ken most days, but I beat him on that question 16 years ago.
Funny. Ken is the right person for the job!
Ken absolutely deserves to be host. None of this celebrity bs where some well known t.v. or movie personality takes it over. I'm so sick of these people thinking and assuming normal folks wanna see and hear from them 24/7 as if they run this country of ours. Yes, Ken's famous as well but for the very thing that made it so, his knowledge of trivia and this show. In addition, he developed a great relationship and respect for Alex. Sadly, Alex Trebek has left us with fond memories while many of us have grown up watching, learning, and even having a teacher to quiz us on a nightly episode or category from time to time. Nevertheless, the one man that deserves to fill those shoes is this fella right here. I remember that long stretch that Ken ran maybe 15 years ago where he kept winning and winning and winning. I was never much of a jeopardy fan until I continued watching just to see if anyone could knock the man from his pedestal of victory, but no one could. It was as if Ken Jennings was the human encyclopedia!!! Knowledge is power, or so they say, and well...that's why Ken has my support for the new host of the show that made him a household name. Good luck to you, sir. U deserve this.
Like with Aaron Rogers and the Field Goal answer😂
Ken Jennings is doing a great job. He's relaxed, at ease, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of this great game. We don't need any more guest hosts. I trust that he will be named permanent host.
I still want an episode or two with Aaron Rodgers hosting. Guest hosts will be fun even if the job goes to Ken.
He sucks and will cause the end of the franchise.
Who knew Jeopardy would find their new host in a winning contestant? Life works out strange sometimes.
I really like Ken as host! He should be permanent.
Keep Ken. This just feels right.
Kudos once again to Ken. He handled this with such grace and dignity.
Flashback of the answer that sent Ken Jennings home!
I say that Ken Jennings will do well on Jeopardy as Host
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just watched the video Jennings lost before this. Made this one way funnier!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who knew that a year from now, Ken would still be at that host lectern, and there would be a 38-day champion reigning.
Ken Jennings is the man who should be the next host. Alex loved Jeopardy with all his heart. I don’t care how talented the next man is, no one loves Jeopardy as much as Ken Jennings. There will never be another Alex, but there will never be another one like Ken Jennings for many years or maybe perhaps decades. Get someone who is passionate about what they do. And this man is it!
Who's watching this after the announcement just yesterday that Ken is coming back on Monday?
That move was straight SAVAGE
Keep him he keeps us connected to Alec
“Thank you all for watching jeopardy, and thank you Alex”
He knew the answer could've won more. But it's too good
I remember I laughed my head off at this and said: “OH THAT IS CRUEL!” and then I explained the joke to my parents so they’d get it too. Also, MOTEL 6 IS A LIE! Haha.
I don't think he initially was planning on trolling Ken, otherwise he'd have just wagered $0. He didn't know the answer so decided to troll after that.
Yo Brett what are you doing here?
He rocks!! ♥️❤️
Incredible
I'd like to see Austin! He'd bring a lot of fun and Character to the show!
B-man up in there with the taxtime answer, yo. 100% FIRE.
