Kinda wonder if they added Oz so no matter how bad any of these stunt hosts are we'll be thinking "well there's no way they're worse than he's gonna be".

They should get Will Ferrell or Kenan Thompson to do it. They have experience hosting Jeopardy.

All hail the queen!
Kenan would probably actually in all seriousness be really good at it and I just love that guy.

Couric is doing well enough, but she comes across like she's talking to children. "Good playing, players!" was one that really made me cringe. Her little interjections about responses are way more natural than Mike's were at least.

I'd rank her ahead of Mike, but behind Ken.

I think he said he didn’t want it.

First time catching a Katie Couric episode (been late coming home from the office these past two days), and from what I can tell, she didn’t do a bad job. Bit more banter than I’m used to, but that’s ok. Too bad about the naval officer tonight though.

Brad is definitely the quietest, most lowkey one on The Chase. If he wants to be a media personality I'm very surprised.

Buzzy on the other hand would be great imo. Maybe not Jeopardy but something!

I’d watch him for a week or two, alongside both Buzzy and Brad. Maybe throw in Alex Jacob or Colby Burnett or Roger Craig too, or maybe Dave Madden, since he already hosts a bunch of academic competitions, but that would probably put the focus on him too much.

I know Matt Jackson as host would be an entertaining train wreck though.

I wound up liking Couric, probably wouldn't like her for permanent stuff but I wouldn't mind her being a go-to guest host type thing when they need one. Kinda chatty but I don't mind a chatty gameshow host.
