That she and Jennings are going to split hosting duties until a permanent host is named.

I think they should just give it to Jennings and be done with it!

4. The intro is odd

Johnny calls her “the host of Jeopardy” and says Ken is “hosting Jeopardy.”

Been wondering why the intros are different.

Now if I never see or hear her again, it is alright with me.

6. A good game show host works off the strong points and strategies of the game

Jennings does this like Trebek did. Bialik not nearly as well. Jennings is by far the better host.

8. Yet he lacks the most critical part to me. Warmth, charm, and likeability.

Out of all of them David Faber CNBC was the best. But no way would he give up his day job.

in front of a camera, especially a live camera, did best. Yet it's so much more than that isn't it? Like you have to think the host would know most of the questions but not be so conceited as to brag about that. And be super quick. Nothing was worse than the nano second delay on whether question was correct or not. Was Jennings your favorite?

he makes note of betting and game strategy to add excitement and drama to each show. He’s also a comfortable link to Alex. I hope he stays.

players at home who are just super knowledgeable. The ones who win two and are out. And then there are super players like Matt Amodio and Amy. They practice seriously for a long time. They even study buzzer technique. And supposedly the game is online now.
