The thing that bothers me is that they're doing something I run into at work a lot: They're catering to one group that would simply adjust while alienating a far more important group.

If they go with Bialik, they will lose a very large number of die-hard fans, from which they get their super-champs that are so good for ratings. They lose the people driving the online communities who you alienate by choosing someone who admitted they never even watched the show before deciding she wanted to host it for some reason.

If they go with Ken, the olds who prefer Bialik will bitch and moan, but they're going to shut up and keep watching no matter what because they'll adjust and don't really care, they just want to keep filling that 7pm slot in their daily routine.

It's truly baffling that they don't see this split and prioritize what the die-hards see as the integrity of the institution of Jeopardy over grandma just thinking Mayim seems so nice so you should give it to her.

I'm really questioning if I'd audition again if she was hosting. I'd rather never get my shot than to finally get it and it's ruined. I've wanted it for too long :smith:

I'm guessing my age is in between the older guys. I know of Matthews' work, but only in passing. I would not be able to name any of his songs.

I’m 33 and had no loving clue what Dave Matthews looks like but to be fair that’s probably because I avoid his lovely music at all costs.

buzz in occasionally with "you really think women get raped because of how they're dressed?"

"really think babies who require ceasarians should just die, huh?"

"i used to buy an energy drink with the same formulation of nootropics in your stuff. gave me the absolutely worst shits."

mainly because jimmy fallon did a better dave matthews than dave matthews. people wished they could see more of fallon, and then the middle finger on the monkey's paw extended fully.

They had a couple of hits in the mid-90's, which made most people sick of them within the year.

Dave Matthews occupies the same space as bands like Phish or the Grateful Dead, where they have a dedicated core following, and no one else cares, or actively avoids them.

the first thing that pops into my head when i hear about dave mathews isn't any of his music, it's the goon talking about how dave matthew's tour bus offloaded its sewage off the bridge it was sitting on and onto the tour boat where the goon was working.

Same. There's a Wikipedia article about it if anyone's interested

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Matthews_Band_Chicago_River_incident

It includes this choice line:


quote:

On August 25, Mayor Richard M. Daley held a press conference, in which he released the videotape used as evidence. Daley also expressed his belief that the dumping was "absolutely unacceptable", but that he believed the Dave Matthews Band was "a very good band".

Dave Matthews Band finished eighth on Pollstar's Year End Top 200 Worldwide Tours, with 583,399 ticket sold for a total gross of $46 million.. Most of last year's dates were sold out, including the final two nights at Madison Square Garden, Nov. 12-13, which sold a combined 30,981 tickets for a gross of $3,413,313, according to Pollstar box office data.

quote:

Ken will kick off the season in September, host the inaugural Second Chance competition and the heavily anticipated Tournament of Champions featuring Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Ryan Long, and many, many more. His initial hosting run will take us through December. In the meantime, Mayim will host Celebrity Jeopardy! on ABC in primetime. When she takes over from Ken in January, the current plan is to have her host a couple of new tournaments as well as the Jeopardy! National College Championship and as many weeks as she can manage with her other primetime commitment to “Call Me Kat.” We know you value consistency, so we will not flip flop the hosts constantly and will keep you informed about the hosting schedule.

And from the new Inside Jeopardy Podcast:

quote:

"And I will share my vision for Jeopardy!’s future, including new developments in the areas of pop culture and sports, plans for a Jeopardy! Honors awards show and my biggest and most passionately held idea: a Jeopardy! Masters league in primetime or on a streaming platform."

this sucks, the first quote makes it clear that they would have mayim doing the whole thing if they could. otherwise they would overtly mention a flip in duties, with ken hosting celeb jeop and other stuff while mayim does the main job. instead by the way its written she is going to be doing all of it in that period and ken just vanishes.
