Ahh yeah, that makes sense.
Wait what? Who is doing the vetting over there? Maybe they need a new executive producer? Lol.

He's beloved and has the right "air" for the show- sophisticated intelligence. I don't think he naturally took to the role as smoothly as expected- it may level out with time but it's hard to say for sure.
I mean sure but he also didn't get a second day of recording like many and anyone that enthusiastic about the show is going to have tight nerves the first go around. Feels like people forget this
I honestly put the Burton folks in the same vein as the Snyder/Ayer cut folks. Loud people on the internet and memes.
Of course if Burton gets it, it would still be a big upgrade over Richards. He can work on his issues of execution, Richards being a huge slimeball could not.
I'm willing to bet Trebek wasn't a seasoned vet his first day on the job, and he didn't heave a wall of internet hype and expectations to live up to on top of it
From what I've seen, non-regular viewers of the show want him (mostly the very online). I'm a consistent viewer and thought he did just okay, nothing that couldn't be fixed with some time. I'm assuming they want someone younger.
She also publically shamed Harvey Weinstein's victims. I have no idea WTF Jeopardy producers are thinking. We might need to have some public auditions for Jeopardy producers now.
New ‘Jeopardy!’ host Mayim Bialik also faces scrutiny for ‘shaming’ Harvey Weinstein’s victims
As questions remain over the selection of new ‘Jeopardy!’ hosts, Bialik is being reminded of her past comments on vaccines and her argument that less attractive women don’t get se…

She addressed this misconception back in 2015 and again recently.
For what it is worth, I believe she clarified she is not antivax. Read an article where she clarified it, all online etc.
I was down on LeVar after his stint wasn't that great but really, he's an actor, he'll grow into the role quite easily I think.
Aaron Rodgers and Joe Buck were my biggest surprises though. I wouldn't be mad though I feel like both have other careers they still want to pursue.
I didn't realize that, the whole rotating host process came across like kind of a clusterfuck so I didn't know he had a shorter stint. Was he a last minute addition then?
He was at the tail end of diminishing returns. They slowly slid through the broadcast run. Going based on ratings Jennings had the best- he was also the first host after Alex's death. Mike Richards had good ones too due to where he fell in the schedule, but it was already declining over time
Yup he and the last host were announced literal weeks before they aired. So he did all those episodes in one day, and didn't get a second. Plus aired same week as the olympics not even on the normal stations
That's kinda my point. Everyone demanding he be the host for months didn't even bother to watch his week. At the end of the day Jeopardy is still a traditional TV which means only ratings matter.
‘Jeopardy!’ Host Mayim Bialik Says She’s Not Anti-vax
Despite previously admitting to not vaccinating her children, Bialik clarified that she’s vaccinated against COVID-19 and “not at all an anti-vaxxer.”
Luckily not true
Give it to Levar. Watched his episodes and liked them. The lady from big bang theory did a good job as well. Just have them go back and forth if need be.
I loved TNG so I am biased as fuck though lol.

I don't watch Jeopardy and I'm not going to, but whatever happens I just want Levar Burton to be happy.
I wouldn't read anything into this, he says "Happy ____ ya'll" almost every day.
I'm glad she got the covid vaccine and also her kids as well, but I'm still "eh" on her after this‘Jeopardy!’ Host Mayim Bialik Says She’s Not Anti-vax

He was easily one of the best guest hosts. I expected to hate him as a guest host, but credit where credit is due.
Yeah, was shocked. If only he had that same attitude doing sports.
yeah Buzzy was great, don't get me wrong, but the Ken has the gravitas for the role
it goes beyond pure performance in the guest host slots tho, I'd rank Mike Richards in the top 3 guest hosts if that was the only criteria
Not gonna lie, sucks it took looking up his past to get him out (implication being there were clear red flags beforehand, but no one gave a shit). He is the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER and somehow they failed to find any appropriate hosts and gave him the job cause he was "the most suited for it?"
Fuck outta here.
Fuck outta here.

Seriously. They'd be perfect. Beyond just Levar. Imagine Jonathan Frakes reading stuff like he's still on "Beyond Belief." Brent Spiner would probably be really fun too.
Also acceptable.
