Yes, someone had to mention it, may as well be me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Has anyone seen the Ken Jennings-hosted episodes of Jeopardy! over the course of this week? How’s he going as host?

Watched the first one yesterday and thought he did a great job but did wonder how many rehearsal eps he had to do and retakes had to be shot for him to appear that smooth. His slight speech impediment seems to be more noticeable in a more formal, less conversational setting. He had some nice words to say about Alex at the start and how he can’t be replaced but his legacy can live on.

The final Alex episode that aired last week was a real tear jerker as a tribute played at the end of the episode.

Katie Couric has been announced as the next guest host. Looking forward to her episodes. Noticed some clips from my YouTube uploads of her early days on NBC Today were used in US entertainment reports regarding her stint.
