Where did he sign a one-year contract? He is in the middle of a 4 yr contract already and just showed up for camp today to end any rumors of not playing.Quote:

Have to say that I was listening to more of the show than actually watching it on Monday. He did OK, but it was not until the final that I was in front of the TV and saw he was the guest host (did not pay attention to the list recently).
Savannah Guthrie I think did a good to better than average job, then shortly after her they moved into the 1 week rotations. Was not a big George Stephanopoulos fan, but will be interesting to see what the discussions and announcements are for the upcoming Fall season.
Certainly more discussions and "voting" https://www.usatoday.com/story/enter...oz/6979413002/ and certainly hope their leading contender with an inside track so to speak is not the new permanent host.
How many of the guest hosts want the permanent job and how many did it for fun?
That is an unknown- some may have done it for their charity also of course since each day their charity they chose got the daily pay out of the winnings matched as a donation.Quote:

Weak sauce on the new host(s)

Watching jeopardnerds hate on the hosts selection amuses me immensely.
I liked the guy last week. Low key. Buck sounds like he's calling a game.
Yeah, David Faber did a great job. Buck has been exactly like you'd expect him to be.Quote:

i know people like to hate but i like think buck is pretty good. super charismatic and dynamic. i wouldn't mind watching him every night, especially as he settled into the gig...
which is something i cannot say for the new hosts. richards was alright but alright at best. bialik was terrible. neither are aaron rodgers. sounds like lots of people wanted burton which i wouldn't be opposed to.
Apparently Blossom named as cohost. Blah. Ratings will plummet.

He's been exactly like you'd expect him to be. I think he's entertaining for a week, but would get a bit tiresome after that.Quote:

Here's a NYT article about the selection process https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/14/b...-jennings.html
I liked Byalik and wasn't excited about Richards but as the article says maybe that's the point- it really is about the game, not the host- bland and competent perhaps best in the long run (but Sweet Fancy Moses please improve the contestant interviews)
It's not the host's fault if the contestants have done nothing interesting in their lives.Quote:

I hate hate mike. He’s competent and knows how to run the show, but he basically picked himself and everything else was just window dressing
I still think it was Ken’s turn tobtake the wheel. But if not Ken, both Mayim and David Faber were both better and more appealing hosts
Im glad it wasn’t Levar. I thought he was terrible. But even less pleased w Richards pulling a Dick Cheney for the host gig
There was some segment that I saw about Richards and his previous Exec Producer position controversies. There were a number of lawsuits when he was at The Price Is Right. https://deadline.com/2021/08/jeopard...ch-1234810536/Quote:

I think the if harassment issue hadn’t been surfaced, Mayim would not have even been offered the partial role that she got-it’s just a deflection from MRs harassment history
The more I read about this guy the worse he sounds.

Nearly all the guest hosts did at least as good a job as Mike Richards, so to me it's pretty clear the reason he got the job is he picked himself. He seems like a real weasel based on everything I've read.
Who the fuck says boobies? Fire this man immediately!

I’m giving him 50/50 odds for the moment at sticking longterm, but am hoping another shoe drops and gets him dropped too
Apparently taping has started or will start very soon, so if they're going to do something it's got to be immediately.
I just heard that Mike Richards quit. Good riddance.
Just came here to post the same thing. Source: https://twitter.com/clairemcnear/sta...615681551?s=19
Bring on Buzzy!
Not sure why he hasn't gotten more consideration. I thought he was excellent hosting the Tournament of Champions.Quote:

Im a little surprised Buzzy doesn’t get more discussion as well. He’d be very good. I’d be fine w Blossom going full time but don’t really see her wanting to cash in her acting career quite yet. I was surprisingly impressed w David Faber and thought he had a very Alex like vibe going. I still kind of hope Ken, but really hope it is NOT Levar
LeVar dropped the ball, unless Mike Richards screwed him over. There was some speculation that they kept some of his flubs in to make him look bad. Seemed a bit far-fetched to me at the time, but given everything else we now know about Mike Richards, I'm not so sure anymore. If they're doing another round of guest hosts I think he deserves a second chance.
I could see plausible editing Levar to make him look worse than he was, but his whole performance seem strained to me. The much bigger issue was the incessant campaign by Levar for the job which struck me as almost as smarmy as Richards behind the scenes string pulling. He certainly deserved a guest host gig tryout but beyond that the PR campaign reminded me of Leno
If they extend to a round two Id like to see:
Ken
Buzzy
Blossom
Faber
Alex’s picks
Levar (begrudging hate watch)
