There are some signs that point to that little twerp Ken Jennings, but there's been no real information about a potential replacement.

Current trends would suggest a person of color or a woman.

In the past, Alex has said that he realizes his replacement is in no way his decision, but thought that Laura Coates or some LA hockey announcer would be good.

I just hope it's not someone that will try to shoehorn jokes into the show. Keep it professional.

I think Anderson Cooper would be a perfect fit, but I realize that isn't happening.

Ken Jennings is the best option and the most likely.

Cuz in order to be a game show host, you need to be entertaining.

Ken is the most likely choice, considering he has a producer role in Jeopardy starting this season.

That would be pretty good entertainment.

He would pretend like he actually knew the answer (question) for every response, it would be hilarious.

Ken Jennings is the prime candidate, but George Stephanopoulos expressed interest at one point.

There's just nothing in the universe that suggests that Anderson Cooper would leave his current gig to randomly host a gameshow.

He just seems like an ideal host in my opinion, but he's as likely as literally any other random person.

Have you ever watched Jeopardy? The last thing the show needs is some joke cracking clown. I loved Alex but calling him "entertaining" is a bit of a stretch. Same thing goes for dweeby creep Ken Jennings.

Ken Jennings is literally the greatest player in the history of the show, so whether or not you think he's creepy or a dweeb is irrelevant.

Being a good contestant doesn't equate to being a good host though.

It's relevant if he's being considered to host the show. He's come off as a bit of an ass several times when not on the show, not all class like Alex was.

I don't think anyone will be as good as Trebek for a long time. He did it so long that no one can fill his role. There are very few game shows where the host is the only visible non player and he had a presence that fulfilled the high demand that the game places on the host of Jeopardy!

He had a sense of style and humor but almost always was restrained. When he did cut a jab or sincere comment loose, it was always natural. He was extremely thorough and pronounced almost everything right with very few stutters and he was consistent enough to become synonymous with the show. Sure, he had his faults but they rarely stuck out. Good luck in replicating that.
