This is Jeopardy!

He did allude to the fact that they probably haven't been around long enough (as solo acts) to qualify. But it's not a good idea for hosts (or even people "hosting") to call contestants morons.

Which is why I am not the host of Jeopardy. Among other reasons of course.

And when are they just going to make him the permanent host?

Haha, he's not even the temporary "host". Miyam Bialik is a "host"; Ken Jennings is just "hosting". As in:

"And now, the host of Jeopardy, Miyam Bialik".

"And now, hosting Jeopardy, Ken Jennings".

Ken is clearly referred to as the fill-in guy. Miyam is actually the host of primetime Jeopardy. The fact that they've been introducing the two of them in their own distinctive way for a year is (IMO) pathetically sad. I haven't seen this much confusion from network executives since they gave Conan O'Brien the Tonight Show.

She's good too. Maybe co-hosting would work. 2 people to fill Alex's shoes.

I agree that if they kept it this way, that would be OK by me (except for the host/hosting thing). But Miyam is very unpopular in some circles, because of nutty stuff she has said (Mrs. Scotch doesn't like her). And they accuse her of being a bad host, like a know-it-all. But Ken is kind-of bland.

BTW, I just saw Jennings as a celebrity guest on the $100,000 pyramid, and (as one would assume) he was amazing. Not only did he (and the contestant) get all 7 right in each round, but he did it quicker than the other pair. And he got both lightning rounds (or whatever you call it) for the contestants.
 
Starting in September, Celebrity Jeopardy! will be seen at 8 PM Sundays on ABC. The network calls it "an all-new game show."

Ummmm.......

They are adding a Squid Game style of segment to double Jeopardy,
and a dance component during final Jeopardy.
 
Watch a few episodes and check back in to let us know if you still think that’s a good idea.

I like that you’re thinking out of the box though. Good initiative.
 
Ok, tonight's final Jeopardy was impossible. I didn't understand the question or answer, and either did the contestants.
 
It took me a minute to even figure out what they were actually asking for.
By the time I figured that out, all I had time to blurt out was Copernicus.
