Since it seems that he is a much better host, what are the chances he gets the gig full-time? Given Mayim is under contract as host and he isn't, she likely holds the cards here which makes it tricky.

Fortunately, very few people in Vidalia had to hear it because of severe weather alerts interrupting the broadcast.

Can't really fault on her on that, though, after hearing Atlanta newspeople botch Taliaferro on a number of occasions.

As for Mayim doing a bad job, I don't think she realizes it. I'm curious how the "stop saying ''single jeopardy'" conversation went down because I can only assume someone told her to officially stop doing that.

Ken actually seems like he has fun hosting which alone is a big difference. Like he actually enjoys seeing contestants play well and can feel their pain if they screw up.

Thank you for linking this.

So she blames everyone else on the set and that the sheet she's given says "single jeopardy" despite other hosts not reading it that way (and that she didn't always read it like that).

Ken is also a lot more natural with his banter during the interview portion of the show. Mayim, I think, struggles with knowing how to respond to contestants' stories (I can relate to that, tbh) and feels forced. Ken seems like he genuinely enjoys hearing their stories.

And then Kelly Clarkson (who I don’t really fault here) wheels it around to “why do those nerds even care so much - worry about something that actually matters”, and Bialik goes right along with it. No acknowledgment that Jeopardy is one of the few remaining pieces of mainstream pop culture that celebrates intellectualism, or of the history of the institution that she’s fronting. She just shows up, reads the paper in front of her, and listens to the voices in her earpiece.

Yeah, I don't fault Kelly, either. She' s just going along with the conversation. If this was a "serious" news show (and plenty of them are terrible) I'd want a more nuanced reaction. But also, if "complaining about making up phrasing for Jeopardy! shouldn't happen because we could be talking about homelessness" then... "why even talk about Jeopardy!"? The clip is really good for explaining (as the poster who quoted me responded to) how did she stop saying Single Jeopardy?

This feels like something they would say no to and then maybe Ken would have an announcement from the judges after the commercial break.
