The only contestant I dread coming back is Matt. He's probably a really nice guy but I can't stand him; he can't get in front of the camera for more than a minute or two before annoying the hell out of me. I can see why people think Austin is cocky, but he honestly doesn't bother me.

HookShot posted:By all accounts Alex isn't taping five shows a day anymore and is having a lot of trouble getting through the shorter days. He's fighting through, but it certainly sounds like he's having a rough go of it now. He's done really well considering what he's going through. Watching Jeopardy, I'm not even sure I would have realized he was going through cancer treatments if I hadn't already known. I keep turning it on every evening expecting an announcement that he's going to step down for health reasons, though.

A Fancy Hat posted:I'm not sure what the general consensus is, but James is awful and I hope he goes down in flames tonight. I've got nothing against James personally, but I don't like to watch when he's a contestant. I admire the depth of his knowledge and his ability to game the betting system, but it's not fun to watch him just dominate as soon as he gets his first right answer.

Honestly, I like Classic Jeopardy - the set, the music - a lot better than modern Jeopardy. I'd missed the classic Jeopardy theme and think music. The only mildly annoying thing was the audience reacting to every little thing with either applause or exaggerated "Oohs!". I had forgotten how bad '80s and '90s game shows were for that.

Did Regis ever do stand-up comedy? He had the delivery and timing of someone who could have made a decent living at it. This episode made me realize how cool he was (it had been a while since I had actually seen Regis in anything).

The '80s Jeopardy theme is the best, along with this (which I wish they'd bring back): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJzYa-Upui8 The new 'board fill' sound sucks. It's like a default ringtone for a smartphone.

TL posted:As a kid, my wife had a PC version of Jeopardy which came on a floppy disk. Her Dad was playing around with the disk, found all the .wav files of Alex doing voiceover, and the sound effects, and re-recorded them in his voice. When my wife started a game, the first thing she would hear is her father going "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo" for the board fill. That's really cool! I hope she was able to keep the .wavs. I was reluctant to watch last night's episode because I knew it'd be sad. But I'm glad I did; that was a great tribute. Alex hosted Jeopardy almost my entire life (I was born in March of '84). He will be missed.

I thought he did fine, honestly, and I liked the little monologue he delivered at the beginning of the show. But I'd definitely like to see LeVar get a chance. He'd be a great host. Katie Couric is out of left field, though.

christmas boots posted:Yeah, I think that's probably going to be something you'll see from any of the potential hosts for at least the next few months. Trebek did this for 30 years, he might as well have been Jeopardy itself, it's going to be longer than a week before people start to move on from that I was going to say: in fairness to Ken, Alex is a tough act for anyone to follow. I don't disagree that Ken lacks the 'authoritative voice', though. He comes off as well meaning and sincere but dorky.

Island Nation posted:Now that his six weeks are done, what's the verdict on Ken? The only thing that slightly annoys me about Ken is the way he says "....No?" sometimes when there's a wrong question. But that's a minor quibble; I think he's done a great job. He's a better interviewer than Alex generally was towards the end because he engages more with contestants instead of just saying "Good for you!" (I'm sure Alex was exhausted so I don't blame him). More than anyone else, I'd like to see what LeVar Burton can do as guest host. Either of those two would make fantastic hosts.

What in gently caress was the point of the parade of guest hosts if they were going to go with the bland-as-milk executive producer (or whatever his job is supposed to be)? Ken Jennings has an actual personality as well as Jeopardy experience. I just don't get it.

Richards is far worse to me than Bialik. I don't like either one of them but Richards getting the job feels slimy and underhanded. They should have picked Ken and/or Buzzy.

Bialik is better than Oz (after the Richards debacle I half expected them to make another boneheaded choice like that), but it still feels like they're just not listening. At all. Almost everyone has said from the beginning that Ken was one of the best choices, and for reasons I don't quite get they seem ready to pass him over. I really don't get it.

Jeopardy generated a lot of goodwill and interest after Alex died, and they squandered most (or all) of it to pull a 'guest hosts' stunt and elevate Mike Richards' career. What a gently caress up.

She's still doing that 'interject trivia fact' thing that gets old after the second or third time. Otherwise she's not too terrible a host.

I just don’t get the push for Mayim when Ken is available, willing (as far as I know) and has a history with the show. It’s not that I really have much of a problem with her but Ken is a much more natural fit.

I don't really have that much against her, but Mayim feels like she's being pushed on us in a similar way to Richards. The main difference is that I don't think Mayim is pulling strings behind the scenes to propel herself to the top job; it just seems like executives are set on giving the hosting position to her.

"Smarmy" is a great word for Mayim's hosting style. I don't know if she realizes she comes across that way, but there's a smugness to her that's especially galling when you consider the fact that Ken has a reason to be smug and isn't.
