driventotheedge Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I remember the original man who did Jeopardy (in fact, I'm so old I remember when Jeopardy first came on the air), still ... it's sad to hear about Alex. He did it for so long.I remember Art too Lorraine, rather well actually. The fact that we remember him points to one irrefutable truth, we fukking old! RIP Alex. You will be greatly, greatly missed.

Principled Man Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Executive producer Mike Richards will replace Alex Trebeck as the shows permanent host.

Rhyta Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 This is not a done deal, Richards is back pedaling about the allegations of sex discrimination and it looks pretty sleazy to let him have a pass but get all worked up about some old tweets of Ken Jennings. It also smells that it's him basically giving himself the job. LeVar Burton should get it IMHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets it he would need to button it up a bit. (I wouldn't be opposed to him getting it if he did). I'd have to know more about the sex discrimination allegations to make a determination but while he was good he wasn't my favorite. I think David Faber was about the best but all were pretty good, with the possible exception of Dr. Oz and probably the smug Joe Buck. Jennings started out slow but was pretty good by the end. Or they could "go off the board". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind Jeff Probst; he used to host a weird thing on MTV called Rock n Roll Jeopardy. I (maybe strangely) think that Drew Carey would be great! Seriously! He has been hosting The Price Is Right for 14 years. I rarely watch, but he has been good when I have seen it and he has the kind of wry sense of humor that Alex Trebek had. He actually is very intelligent- he was a Field Radio Operator in the Marines for 6 years; something where you have to deal with electronics, physics, math etc., and he gives off such a pleasant vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed that R&R show on VH1. I've actually been on Price Is Right twice in 2000 and 2002 when Barker was on. I never got to "come on down" but someone from my group did in 2000. Agreed on Drew as well. To make matters worse with Jeopardy, Joe Suck is guest hosting this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It's now Richards and Mayim Bialik. At least she has credibility with her education and being on Big Bang Theory unlike the industry schmuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
