Jeopardy! Post-Alex Discussion Post

Do you think Ken will get the job as the host Full time and Mayim doing the specials?

I know Ken has The Chase and one other game show I believe on GSN... Mayim has own show on FOX.

Mayim said she wants to host the show fulltime. I think she's going to be the full time host while Ken fills in and host primetime shows  when her schedule is busy.

Last I heard, Sony wanted Mayim full time but she was busy with her show on FOX.  So I guess she is willing to not do her show or FOX or do both?

Apparently her show isn't doing well in the ratings. If the show gets cancelled she will be free.

The name I would choose is not on the list

What name is that?

[FPGWillyT]

Never mind.  Misread the title of survey.

Thanks... I have not seen her show on FOX

It was renewed, so there’s that. They haven’t aired season 2, so it’s a tad early to speculate.

[EaglesWings4500]

I know it is still early but if Mayim becomes the FT host and Matt is still going strong, I wonder if Sony or Mayim  will let Ken host the day Matt passes Ken's winning streak or earning streak?  Or on the next show, they invite Ken on stage ?

[imhomerjay]

No.

The host that day is the host. You don’t disrupt the flow more than needed owing to current circumstances. They’ve had enough disruption.

It may qualify as bumping a 2-month inactive thread; I think it is worthy to note the news for the show in the past day besides what we already likely know of the inaugural College Professor Tournament, which begins Monday and ends December 17 with Mayim Bialik hosting.

First, The Washington Post did this story about current ultra champion Amy Schneider and her history-making run as the first transgender contestant to qualify for the Tournament of Champions and her experiences so far on the show following the past year’s events.

Second, the Jeopardy! National College Championship hosted by Mayim premieres Tuesday, February 8, at 8 pm and will air each Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday until its conclusion on Tuesday, February 22; the 9-day tournament will have 36 students from 36 colleges and universities.

First transgender TOC contestant? Interesting. Especially considering the game show fandom has quite a few big names in it that are trans women, like Jessica "Prizes" Brand, Cyndi Seidelman of Game Show Garbage fame, and one of this board most important members Chelsea "Bluelobster" Thrasher.

On a little side note, not too excited to hear ABC is giving American Idol another unnecessary season. It should've ended when it did originally on FOX in 2016.

*Yeah, no.  I don't know if we need this post at all, but one thing I *do* know is that we're not going to post deadnames on this forum.  They're called "dead" for a reason.  -Army*

[imhomerjay]

The economics work, so why wouldn’t they continue it?

[jude_este]

An update about the hosting job, Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will continue sharing hosting duties through the end of the season. Additionally, Michael Davies will remain as executive producer.

They may as well let them both take over as hosts have them split the season in half and let Mayim Bialik host any specials. The ratings are still going good and people are used to seeing them both host.
