Current Events > Ken jennings hosting Jeopardy right now. Wow.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm actually impressed. He fits right into the theme of the game, is easy to listen to, and for his first time hosting is overall doing very well. I expected a lackluster performance just for a paycheck, but instead he seems to be putting his heart and soul into it which is critical for the show to go on.

I think he has the potential to be permanent if he wants the job.

This is coming from someone who is a HUGE James Holzhauer fan and was hoping he would crush Ken back in last year's tournament. (Ken always came off as the stuck up arrogant/snob type to me).but I'm willing to overlook that because he's doing such a damned good job here.

I disagree. I had it on in the background, and it was just grating to me. I just can't watch/listen to him.

I never thought Ken would phone it in, I think he genuinely loves the game.

I think he read the clues a little too fast, but it's something that can definitely be improved on. I read that his guest host stint will last for 6 weeks.

I thought he got cancelled

He's actually pretty good at speaking/being entertaining. Him and some dude have a podcast that I listen to.

His voice isn't terrific, but if he ended up hosting long-term, I wouldn't complain.

Well... what'd gonna do? It's not like there's a Jeopardy version of Drew Carey floating around out there.

I think he's definitely the permanent host.
