Default Rip Alex Trebek

This is a response to an old post from Dave. Exactly 5 months ago.

Subject: Rip Alex Trebek
Sunday Nov 8, 2020
From Davers

So Dave....have you been watching it since? I do.

So far, we're on our 4th guest host.
- Ken Jennings for a few weeks
- Katie Curic for 2 weeks
- Dr. Oz (Dr. Odd) for 2 weeks
- currently Arron Rogers for this week and next
- More to come after next week

I guess they're auditioning interested people to take over the show. So
far, I liked Ken Jennings the best.

In my area, it's aired M-F with the guest hosts then every Saturday,
they show an old episode hosted by Alex.

I watch it every night.

Ken did a pretty good job but he is a wienie. I preferred Katie Couric,
but the best was Michael Richards.

Same here.
It's interesting that so many people associate the show with Alex
Trebek. I started watching the show in the 70s with Art Fleming. It
took me a while to get used to Trebek.

I heard they had Dr Oz, comments about him on twitter were very
damming.

That is because some people are idiots and prone to judging people on
irrelevant stuff. I don't watch day time TV or the types of shows he has
been known to express some strange views on various issues. That is what
people are judging him on, not his performance on the show. I watched
the games he hosted and he was pretty good.


You don't have to get your knickers in a twist over him getting the full
time gig. They aren't likely to risk a drop in ratings on that show over
preconceived dislikes. It will be someone more appealing.


> Alex Trebek - Dr Oz - - what the hell were they thinking!!!


He left big shoes to fill. Personally, I think Mike Richards has been by
far the best. I don't know if he is really interested in taking on that
role.

Where did Dr. Oz screw up as host of Jeopardy? Or are you just upset
that he has made comments about pseudo science. I had never seen or
heard of Dr. Oz before his stint as guest host so I had no preconcieved
ideas about his performance, Having seen all the guest hosts, I would
rank him second behind Mike Richards, ahead of Katie Couric and Ken
Jennings, and way ahead of Aaron Rodgers.

I heard he's paid by Big Pharma and preaches their gospel.
