What about Chuck Wolley as guest host?

That can’t be serious, right?

Chuck Wolley?  Never heard of him.   ???

Based on the responses immediately preceding this one, I'd presume you mean Chuck Woolery.

In which case: Are you serious?

Fun fact: Evelyn Wong, the 5th person to be called on the first show (9/4/72), was actually the very first contestant to directly be called to come on down!  The original first four (Sandy Flornor, Paul Levine, Connie Donnel, Myra Carter) were individually told to stand up, and then, as a group, were invited to come on down.

Man that would be quite a suprise, the former emcee of your show's sister show?

No way Woolery guest hosts. His style would not work for a fast paced A&Q game.

And with how radioactive his reputation is right now... and the fact that he's only a year younger than Alex himself was... I'm pretty sure we've seen the last of him

I would bet a lot of money that Mike Richards was brought on by Sony to take over hosting either J or Wheel one day. He has proven to be a winner as EP and a pretty fine host.

Dr. Oz.

This one is indefensible.

Savannah Guthrie? They took finding hosts with worse publicity than Katie Couric as a challenge.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is an awful choice. I'm sorry, but I stand by this.  J! should not be putting quacks on TV on a show where being smart and educated is of vital importance. Dr. Oz has thrown his name on pseudosciences and questionable products that have no business being publicized or used by someone who claims to practice good medicine.

In my opinion, these guys have no business trying to fill Alex's shoes.

What's wrong with just getting Ken Jennings, and that being the end of it? I think he's doing great.

Even the Jeopardy! Fan is weighing about having actor LeVar Burton as a guest host in the wake of the controversy of Dr. Nick Rivera...er...Oz hosting.

Editorially, I think that Jeopardy! needs to announce LeVar Burton soon; there will be a fan revolt if LeVar Burton is not allowed to host, especially considering that most fans feel that Dr. Oz is a charlatan, especially if the fan reaction on Twitter to this announcement is read.

And also, BuzzerBlog on Twitter is saying that Anderson Cooper was in consideration to be Alex's successor when the Sony emails leaked back in 2014, is this claim by them true or not?

Dr. Oz probably was tapped to guest host due to his show being syndicated by Sony, basically being an internal hire.

I don’t agree with you on much, but I am undoubtedly with you here. I am not watching whatever episode he’s guest hosting.
