While I'm sure he's doing more important things, Barack Obama would be perfect. He can take on a professorial tone without sounding elitist or condescending, he's incredibly intelligent, and he has charisma.

Michael McKean would be a stupid easy pick if he wasn't already 73 years old. I'd still like to see him guest host for part of this season or whatever e: Jonathan Corbblah would be my dark horse Vulture Culture fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Nov 15, 2020 |

One thing I think people forget is that Ken Jennings is a devoted family man and I don't think he wants to spend multiple days per week commuting between Seattle and Los Angeles.

He has the right blend of authoritative, intelligence and cadence in his voice that fits the show like a glove. It got him to the White House after all. He'd never do it even if you gave him Alex's salary and tripled it but that's the voice they should be aiming for. It's why I don't think Ken is a good fit at being the host as it is.

why commute? let him work from home, there's no reason for the jeopardy host to be in a studio when a zoom call works just as well.

I feel like that is plenty reasonable any other year but we'd have to replace him pretty quickly if he was flying every 2 weeks with COVID-19 around.

He's already doing that for Masterminds. Besides, it's filming on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for like 20 weeks a year, it's not like it's a full time job.

Obama also can't get halfway through a sentence without going "uhhhhhhhhhh" and then pausing for like three seconds; we'd never clear half a board with him as the host. I mean, don't get me wrong, dude has charisma in spades, but he is not what you would call a fast speaker.

Haha I got yesterday's Final Jeopardy right because way back in seventh grade English, we had to interview each other for an assignment and I interviewed a kid named Phillip. The teacher said my couple of paragraphs were too dry or something, so I rewrote it like I'd read in the Tracer Bullet strips from Calvin & Hobbes.
