Hockey guy is pretty cool and I think he would do a good job.

Worst case they create a Trebek robot and plug him on to charge between tapings.

If they can make it have a condescending tone when announcing the right answer after the contestants all miss, it will be perfect

I'd be down with Ken hosting. Mostly because I like the idea of "I did so well on a game show... They made me the host!"

Realistically they'll go with someone with some announcing or acting experience (but is obscure enough to host it till they retire.)

I feel like Ken Jennings has the right resume to subtly throw shade at contestants when they're being idiots like Alex does though.

Ken Jennings side-eyeing someone who loses because of a terrible wager in Final would be pretty great.

His Twitter history basically excludes him from contention. He should host a competing network TV game show, though.

Sadly, it's true that Jennings' past tweets probably would cause enough outcry to disqualify him. Game show hosts are supposed to be as whitebread as possible, doubly so for Jeopardy. And I'm not sure if they would want a host that's better at the game than practically every contestant that would play.

Ken Jennings is funny, witty, charismatic and smart. He’d be a perfect host, but they won’t pick someone so partisan

LeVar Burton is one of the only choices I'd be almost totally okay with. He's very likeable and right around the same level of cool/nerdy. I wonder if he's still directing stuff though. Judging by imdb it looks like his plate isn't super full...

Austin's great.

I remember that from the first time it was shown, and yeah that was great. Austin is amazing.

In other news, Jeopardy maybe let me get a job! The interviewer at the job that Civil Service qualified me for was a big Jeopardy fan, and half the interview was spent talking about my experience on the show, once we got all the job requirements and expectations out of the way. I guess I'll find out in a month.
