after seeing this guy for about 30 years, It's depressing he's gone after that long. He never even retired. He was truly dedicated.
I know how you feel. It really hit home today after seeing his tribute. He was loved by many. RIP Alex. GOD bless his Family. Much love and prayers surrounding you. 🙏
Consummate professional. I loved game shows as a kid and watched him on "Wizard of Odds" and "High Rollers". The game show network Buzzr is running Classic Concentration and he was really good as host of that show as well.
@@jerzeykowboy9425 When Trebek started on Jeopardy, I remembered him from "The Wizard of Odds", I didn't know about "High Rollers". He will always be best remembered for Jeopardy, of course, but I think the description they used for him on that first show, the "wily wizard", is fitting for his wide knowledge and his skill as a host. Hard to believe he himself forgot that first show's name. RIP.
@@jerzeykowboy9425 I truly agree with u and he was Canadian too. Gameshows in Canada was good as well
@@Scubaguy12 My favorite game show out of Canada was "Talkabout" hosted by Wayne Cox. I think that would be a great reboot....or at least let's have some reruns of it on Buzzr.
I actually cried last night when Alex said his final goodby yesterday. I have been recording the show for the past two weeks so I still can look at how wonderful Alex and the the show has been. He was so brave. I do like Ken Jennings very much and think he is a good choice
We think Ken is a good replacement too, Donna
@@FactsVerse So do I.
I think who ever it is that is lucky enough to get the job.... will never be as good as Alex was, but we should all be hopefully the show picks up and goes forward.....as I'm sure that's what Alex would have wanted.... and we will be blessed if it does, for it's one of the best game shows of all time.
@@LITEE43 g
Great choice. I think Ken is a great choice. He made such an indelible impression during his first appearance on Jeopardy many years ago - insomuch that I've never forgotten him. And I'm happy that he has been chosen to succeeds Alex. Congratulation Ken Jennings. All best.
Be
No one can fill Alex Trebek's shoes.Ken Jennings is a perfect fit!! My most memorable, touching moment is when Final Jeopardy was being played and a contestant wrote, We love you complete with hearts.Alex tried to keep his emotions together. He was touched by the very kind gesture.
It’s got to be Ken.
He should be given a choice.
I mean a change
Yeah
Not Mayim she is horrible
No one can fill Alex Trebek’s shoes. He will truly be missed. Rest In Peace. My deepest condolences for his family.
He is the only one that could possibly take Alex Trebek's place on Jeopardy, and he will do a great job!!!
@@bunnyhicks8020 In your opinion. 😂
No, no one can fill Alex Trebek's shoes. They shouldn't even try (and I think the folks who will guest host will be intelligent enough to know that). They will be their own host--not Alex, but themselves. And I think that's what Alex would have wanted.
And that's what they said when Trebek took over for Art Fleming. You said Alex is gone? So, dig him up out of the urn and place him on the podium. Make you feel better? Stop being so silly!
@@lcaceci43 You’re sick. 🤮
I thought Ken would do well in the host position from the beginning, and he is. I have been watching him and he is doing well. Alex would be proud. Of course no one can fill Alex's shoes and Ken isn't trying to. Ken needs to make the show his own, just like Alex did. Ken liked and respected Alex, he will honor him, throughout his career as host of the show. I wish him well.
I believe Ken Jennings is doing a great job . Still enjoy watching jeapordy . Always will miss alex❤️
@@sharonromano4348 bull
So true. Alex Would not want it any other way I'm sure he would Not want anyone who follows in his Exact footsteps . But only to fit into their own shoes . it's just going to take time for all of us . Change is not easy .
That's not gonna happen.. He's only on there temporarily until they can find somebody else decent... like that guy from Chicago. Who's one of the reigning contestants.
Me too
Mayim Balik just fits the role like a glove! I can’t explain why, maybe it’s her background or whatever. She just fits the role perfectly!
I'd say the best thing about Alex Trebeck....is that he made my mom very happy. When Jeopardy came on ... she was in her realm. I was always amazed at how many of the answers my mom would shout out so fast...she really should have tried out. RIP Mom and to Alex too.
I remember watching Ken Jennings as a contestant on Jeopardy . Mr Trebek , on his show , spoke of how likable and genuinely nice Ken Jennings was as a person . I am Glad he has been chosen as the new host ! RIP Alex Trebek .
We're glad too, Patsy!
Love Ken Jennings. He's the right man to host Jeopardy.
I totally agree.
@@jeancorriveau8686 nope, I heard that he's only temporary....should the producers should go a "different direction"...in the meantime.. doesn't Merv Griffin have a son?...if he does or doesn't, or have a daughter,... don't you think that a decendent of the Merv Griffin family should take over?
@@jeancorriveau8686 @@@
he is one of at least 6 guests hosts, NOT the replacement - google it.
I loved watching Ken guest host. I hope he becomes the permanent host. He's not Alex, and we don't want or expect him to be. He brings his own style and I believe Alex would be very proud and satisfied to have Ken hosting Jeopardy!
Ken Jennings is an excellent choice. He will be a tribute to Alex’s memory and excellent hosting of Jeropardy.
Nope only LaVar Burton
Ken will be the best choice for this show. I will watch like I did Alex. My second choice is Anderson Cooper. He really relates with the audience. Alicia
@@meganf129 for real. Ken doesn't have that right kind of voice for it. LaVar is perfect
Ken Jennings is doing a superb job as "guest host" for Jeopardy. He's articulate and doesn't stumble over the clues. He's a keeper.

@@deniseclarity6191 pp
Let us also not forget that, like Tom Bergeron, Ken Jennings also has some experience hosting a game show as well, as he did just that after his epic run on Jeopardy. I also totally called it that Ken Jennings was going to replace Alex Trebek as the host of Jeopardy.
I thought Jennings didn't want it, but I'm thrilled he was chosen.
I felt even before Alex got sick that Ken Jennings should replace Alex when he retired. Sorry to see it happened this way, but always felt it was inevitable. Good luck Ken you deserve the position.
Thanks for sharing this, Gladys!
Alex could never be replaced. RIP🙏
We miss him too, Miriam
@@joemichele5412 If the new host of Jeopardy is Ken Jennings or anybody else but not Katie Couric, there will be a female host of Family Feud. However, if they name Katie Couric permanent host of Jeopardy! Sony will be screwed and Steve Harvey will continue hosting Family Feud. I guarantee Katie Couric would be terrible choice and Ken Jennings would be perfect choice.
Here we go! They said the same thing about Art Fleming when Trebek took over the game!

@@joemichele5412 give Ken a chance he just started, so critical!!! He's not ARROGANT he's brilliant and the perfect fit for an intelligent show. Plus he has the utmost respect for Alex Trebek. I think Alex is watching and is delighted that Ken is the first choice!!👍👍
I am hoping the producers of Jeopardy will choose Ken Jennings; he has been guest host for a while and he continues to improve! He will make a fine permanent host!
I was really hoping Mayim was going to replace Alex! Great personality and so intelligent.
Ken Jennings' career was made by the show and his own efforts. It would be nice to see him get the permanent gig.
Ken Jennings is the only one who could replace Alex Trebec and satisfy the loyal viewers.
I SURE HOPE KEN JENNINGS CAN GET THE JOB. HE'LL DO WELL.
men always get these jobs it's ridiculous, I SURE HOPE ELIZABETH BANKS GETS THIS JOB, SHE'LL DO WELL, since she's more funnier on press your luck on abc than ken jennings is.
@@bobojeda4895 you don't want somebody " funny". Remember the contestants are the stars...⭐⭐⭐
he's not a host. This is stupid
There's no accounting for taste!
Ken Jennings keeps the family feeling of Jeopardy alive. Alex would have been proud. I marvel at the fact that I feel that Ken Jennings actually knows the answers to all the questions. Why would they even bother trying the other two. Katie Couric. You must be kidding..
Ken Jennings has done a remarkable job of filling in as the guest host. While no one will be able to fill Alex's shoes, Ken comes closest as he is compassionate, knowledgable, witty and charming. He will make a great permanent host!
Why was Ken Jennings not a permanent replacement for Alex Trebeck?
@@Chipmunka He doesn't have time as he has his *own* game show called "The Chase."
Aaron Rodgers!! He offers professionalism, charisma, he’s vey handsome, well worth spoken and extremely smart.
I thought Aaron did a great job. I would definitely vote for him!
He needs a shave and seems a little smug
I thought Rogers was the best! He had charisma!
Ken Jennings is right person. He earned it, knows stresses on contestants, is able to keep show moving along but compassionate, understanding and encouraging as Alex was. A regular guy, real not slick.
Ken Jennings' opening remarks as the host of Jeopardy were perfect.
no they were not.

@@bobojeda4895 Have you taken notice of how many people like Ken Jennings?
I couldn't imagine anyone but Ken Jennings in that role, his history with Jeopardy, his personality and his wealth of knowledge made him the best candidate. Congratulations and God's speed Ken Jennings. May you have as successful a career on Jeopardy as the late great Alex Trubek. Much love
I have been for Ken Jennings when I first saw him replacing Alex. No one can replace Alex but I believe Ken Jennings will be the best replacement.
Ken did a great job as guest host! His humility regarding Alex is comforting to us as we all work to move on. His "Thank you, Alex." is perfect!!
KEN will be great at this new Jeopardy host.
KEN is really intelligent
Yes, he wasn't my first choice, but of all the choices that made it through to the end, he's my fave. Btw, I stopped watching.
Ken Jennings. There, that took about 5 seconds. 8 minutes of Trabeks history and all the other people they considered, and their history. Ridiculous.
Laura Coates is very smart and attractive!☺️
You are right...
Thank you. I was getting bored to death.
It's how all their videos are. But for someone reason.. just like me you're watching em anyways. I get annoyed EVERY single time I watch one of them.
Thanks. I didn't want to watch 8 minutes to here a simple answer.
I love the current biweekly guest hosts...Changing hosts is refreshingly unique!!
If Ken becomes permanent host, he will be right choice. He is really good.
Great I agree with your choice of Ken Jennings
Yes, best choice. Extremely knowledgeable, dry wit, and willing to let the contestants be the stars. My choice from day 1.
no, no, no, - Aaron!!!!
No he doesn't have the right voice
Alex: So long, everybody. Ken: Thank you, Alex.
Jeopardy ratings: Plummet
Let's make it a True Double Jeopardy. ALEX, KEN!!!
😏 From someone who remembers when Art Fleming hosted Jeopardy, suffice it to say I am a longtime fan of this game. Alex was terrific as the host, and I miss him a lot. He was a class act from beginning to end, and brought an incredible dignity to his final days as host. RIP, Alex Trebek. 😔 💕 Ken Jennings is a good choice to host now; he is personable, affable, and easy to like. I hope this keeps up. I wish him all the best. I saw something I think should be shared here - I saw it not long ago, and it still tickles me. It was one of those signs where you have a lot of letters and can compose your own statements and change them at will. This sign read, "Somewhere in the sky, Sean Connery and Alex Trebek are playing Celebrity Jeopardy." 😸
Oh My! $10 - $50 questions in the First Round. What time and inflation has increased!
Saying Anderson Cooper was controversial free is like saying a hungry lion would be perfect for guarding the meat at a meat warehouse.
Rest in peace Alex. Hope they keep ken jennings
What's your favorite memory of Alex, Annie?

@@rubykilgore6850 They Should’ve chose Derek Jeter
If it were to happen he would get my vote.
@@randycampbell7828 I know bud! Derek Jeter would’ve been a great candidate to replace Alex Trebek! ☹️
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice. I looked at Jeopardy checking out the different house from time to time, and Ken seems to be so at ease with reading the questions just like Alex did... I haven’t watch Jeopardy in a little while, because it seems to of lost its appeal on how the questions are asked. Sometimes they are asked in a confusing way, but when Ken was reading the questions out, it was just like having Alex back out there again. He would read them with such assuredness, and responded just the way Alex would’ve been the question what is not answered right. Yes Ken Jennings is your man, and I would love to see him up there on a permanent basis, so I can enjoy watching Jeopardy once again. Sincerely, Jane ALAMILLO, LANDCASTER, CALIFORNIA
I will never forget getting home from work and watching an episode of Jeopardy, as I always did. But with my daughter. To my amazement she got every question right. Then she told me that was show was aired at lunch time and that she had watched it. Little shit LOL
How funny
If Alex entrusted Ken as his heir apparent, I will look forward to his shows.

I must add my voice to the chorus of fans happy about Ken taking on the Jeopardy job. It's a perfect match!
I do not think it worked for Ken Jennings because Anderson Cooper has been in that spot.
Loved watching Jeopardy. Always kept an eye on the time to make sure I had it to the right channel on time. Will always remember the day of his passing, it was also my late mothers birthday.
When different hosts fills in it makes Alex’s Presence farther away It breaks my heart not 💔 not seeing him or hearing his Voice. RIP Alex 🌹
1940-2020
Jeopardy will never be the same without Alex!
People said the same thing in 1984 about Jeopardy! without Art Fleming
They said the same thing when Trebek took over for Art fleming!
It may not be the same, but it can be equally enjoyable with the right host. They need someone with the warmth of Mr. Trebek, but who can also make it their own. I believe Ken Jennings is that person.
@@michaeltutty1540 I thought Mike Richards did an excellent job!
RIP George Alexander "Alex" Trebek.
I believe Betty White came to prominence on the Mary Tyler Moore Show long before The Golden Girls.
Betty White was a popular star in the fifties and had her own show. "The Betty White Show" for a few years. She was very well known long before the mary Tyler Moore show. Shes should be sainted for her devotion for humane animal treatment.
What U believe is quite right. She also starred on Maude & Mama's Family. Luv me some Betty!
@@janwilliams1270 - The crazy thing is that Bob Barker does not like her because of a dispute about about elephants.
Ken is the perfect choice. I'm sure Alex is smiling, and the show is in good hands.
Why didn’t you mention Aaron Rogers in your review?
Ken Jennings is an interim host, not the permanent host. Jeopardy will have a series of interim hosts
Yes. Key word:INTERIM!
And Katie Couric is going to follow Ken Jennings.
@@Rusty3659 gag

And Jennings will eventually be the permanent replacement!
They haven’t announced a permanent host yet. Jennings is the first guest host.

@@joemichele5412 Jeopardy James has ZERO PERSONALITY.
Other guests that have been anounced so far are: Katie Kuric, Aaron Rodgers, and Dane Cook.
@@joemichele5412 I feel the same way. Ken just seems flat compared to Alex. I don't know who I'd like to see but I'm not thrilled with any of them.
@@joemichele5412 I thought so to until i saw him host. Maybe he just needs to get used to the job and relax more. But let's see what some others can do
Aaron Rogers is #1. He did a great job hosting and we loved how he hosted his 2 weeks.
I like him too but I’m sure Mike Richarrds(the producer) et al probably thought he was too much of a character. Which is what I liked about him however they need someone more demure. I think Ken is a great choice. Congrats from Montreal. Et merci Alex pour 35 and de perfection. Thanks
Today, May 3, 2021. So far the temporary host of Jeopardy, the best I have seen is Aaron Rodgers. He states the show has always been his fav and he was a champion on it. He was calm, entertaining and clearly spoken.
He is awesome. I think Ken is a perfect pick. He’s sharp, witty, friendly & comforting.
I wholeheartedly agree!!
Really
Ken over James.
I like the new one the producer. Why pick any of the others when he looks goods, sounds good And has been the with Alex .
He also really respects Jeopardy! and Alex. I was so afraid they would pick some celebrity and/or comedian who would try to make it about himself.
Ken Jennings is a great choice. He has the same calm sophistication that Alex brought to the show.
no he is not a great choice people are idiots and so stupid to want him, dummy.
I’ve been a huge fan of Ken Jennings since he was a long-time Jeopardy champion, and am so glad they made him the new host!!! Of those being considered, he was the only sensible choice.
Whole heartedly agree . I love Ken , he is so soothing and does a wonderful job with the questions and the contestants. I really couldn't see anyone else filling Alex's shoes.
I. Always. Turned. In. To. See. Alex. But. I. Wont. Turn. In. To. See. Ken. He. Is. Not. Goodlooking.
Rip Alex, he will forever be loved and missed.
Three of the top winners from Jeopardy Ken Jennings, Jeopardy James , and Brad Rutter are now part of the Summer game show The Chase on ABC-TV
If Anderson Cooper would have been picked I would have quit watching! Pat
Don't like Ken voice. Stopped watching it.

@@joantaylor7326 I agree with you
@@leemcbride8146 you're right... but he's only temporary.. should' the producers decided to "go a different direction" with him as well as the game show.
I had a feeling right from the beginning it would have been Ken, nobody in a million years will fill Alex's shoes but I wish Ken luck
Jennings isn't trying to "fill Alex's shoes." Jennings will develop his own style and bring it to the show and to the audience! Just like Trebek didn't try to mimic Art Fleming's style. He brought his own brand of quirkiness to Jeopardy!
han't been picked guest host
I think Ken is great but he's a bit abrasive. I really liked Mike Richardson for his smoother personality
Before Alex passed away I was hoping Ken would be chosen as his replacement, so I'm extremely happy for him and us. Alex knew Ken would end up carrying the torch and he's done an excellent job so far. Alex can never truly be replaced, but Ken is loved and will do honor to Alex and the greatest and smartest game show ever created. Thank you, Merv Griffin.
I often think of Merv Griffen, and his show Moms Mablee! (Sp)
Alex will be sorely missed. However, Ken is the perfect replacement choice. I'm so happy for Ken.
I have liked Ken Jennings from the beginning, but I loved Alex from the very first time I saw him and followed him since. No one can replace Alex and I feel Ken is not intending to do that. I believe in time, we will come to respect and honor
Been watching since the 80’s. If Anderson would have been chosen to host. I would have never watched Jeopardy again.
I said almost the exact same thing an hour ago. I agree with you 100%
Same here.
Amen
I'm not to thrilled with Ken either after finding out about his tweet a few years ago that attacked an 11 year old child. Very uncalled for.
Frank Santos yea same my whole family has been watching there whole life
I like Aaron rogers hosting jeopardy because he has the intelligence and knowledge and calm under pressure.
And very quick on quips with contestants.
Unless the pocket collapses. Then he just prematurely ejaculates.
Hey! If Alex himself says a person can be the “star” of the show (narrator says that the guests are the stars of the show) in case he retires, just let him be the”star” of the show
I wouldn’t want anyone with a political background, ken is perfect
you stupid braindead idiot ken jennings is not the perfect choice.
That's why Katie Curic would be a disaster... After all she wants to reprogram anyone she thinks is not up to her standards ( ie conseratives ) Anderson Cooper...NO way...I would like to see LaVar Burton ..

Congratulations Ken Jennings and wish you all the best
There is no instead he is the perfect person to fill in the void Uncle Alex permanently left--Ken is a fairly young- smart- congenial-I believe they are preparing him- by his being on other game shows made it easier for the transition. Uncle Alex will always be associated with Jeopardy- but my watching the show since it first aired 36+ years ago leaves me to believe Jennings mannerisms are similar to Uncle Alex's. and the audiences will except him.
So very happy Ken Jennings is going to be the host of Jeopardy !! No one will ever replace Alex, but Ken is 99% there. Good luck Ken !!!!! xo
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice. He seems to possess the same personality as Alex Trebeck. He is warm & friendly & truly wants the contestants to win. He always incorporates Alex's words & ways on every show. Kudos to Ken if he is the chosen one.
I think Ken was the best choice!! He's young, personable, intelligent and down-to-earth. I think Alex is looking down and is very pleased with this choice. I love how Ken thanks Alex at the end of each show.

Loved Mayim Balik as Jeopardy host as her delivery was easy to hear. 💗 She also added enthusiasm and has a great smile, something we need more of. Thank you!!!
Mayim Balik not chosen possibly because of antisemitism,anti-Israel bigotry and anti-woman bigotry.
@@adric137 Or perhaps because she's an arrogant, self important person who tells anyone who'll listen that she's in real life a neuro scientist. Yuk! Btw, I d idn't even know she was Jewish, I love Israel and the Jewish people, and it's ok with me that she's a woman. Nope, it's because she's a self important, boasting person. But it's ok, you can watch her all you want. I stopped watching Jeopardy since all of the controversies .
Ken has turned out to have his own special spark!
anyone who wants ken jennings is retarded.
Never Cooper
Who do you want to be the new host, Mary?
I agree Mary Betz! You need a politically unbiased person in this position of dealing well with people on the show and also, don’t forget the huge audience of people from different political reference. Could have just destroyed the show as we have known it. I would really dislike this wonderful show to be ruined in such a way. Alex Was almost irreplaceable but the choice of Ken Jennings was a great pick.
Are you anti-gay?
I am comfortable with Ken Jennings and when I saw him doing some of the clues I knew that Alex Trebek really had a bond with Ken and I will keep on watching "Jeopardy". Miss you Alex Trebek and R.I.P. you are deeply loved by all your fans and friends..
forget all these so-called Dr Oz and football players and all these people trying to take over Alex's spot the bottom line is it's either going to be the producer of the show Mike I don't even know his last name or Ken the end but don't don't you know disregard how good this show is I'm with these people that you're trying to replace Alex with a 30-year watcher
Besides Alex , ken is the only one that’s been on the show the most, and I feel very happy seeing him on the show, he deserves it, it was meant to be.
I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice for the new host of Jeopardy. He’s knowledgeable, graceful and funny at times.
no he is not the perfect choice people are idiots and stupid for wanting ken jennings.
Go all the way ken
@@bobojeda4895 You're just a mean and nasty little man. You DO NOT use the word Retarded when talking about people which you have in the majority of your comments. Small and limited vocabulary!
I like his style so far so good I've been tuning in watching every evening watching the former Jeopardy champ. I love at the end when he says thank you Alex. Works for me as a viewer of the show.
anyone who wants ken jennings is stupid, braindead and a jackass.
@@bobojeda4895 Tell us why Bob?
Frank don't waste your breath on this Bob Troll, which is what he is, just trying to get a reaction from anyone..ignore him and maybe he will crawl back under his bridge.
ALEX WAS GREAT, HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOWEVER, AS WE ALL KNOW, LIFE GOES ON. HAPPILY, SO WILL JEOPARDY....IT'S A GAME SHOW PEOPLE!
Alex can never be replaced no matter how hard you try
So what... you're saying they should take the show off the air?
James he needs to be part of this I never could get my fill of this man of whom is very entertaining & smart! Please consider him as a possible Host along with Miya! She is also a happy choice!
I wanted to watch James more , a kinda cool dude , so smart with his money bets. I just couldn’t believe a man in tha gambling world had mad such a success out of that line of work. Very fascinating- and his laugh was very fun to watch! So Thankyou to James for the few times he did laugh!
