I bursted out laughing when I saw this live 🤣

Ken absolutely deserves to be host. None of this celebrity bs where some well known t.v. or movie personality takes it over. I'm so sick of these people thinking and assuming normal folks wanna see and hear from them 24/7 as if they run this country of ours. Yes, Ken's famous as well but for the very thing that made it so, his knowledge of trivia and this show. In addition, he developed a great relationship and respect for Alex. Sadly, Alex Trebek has left us with fond memories while many of us have grown up watching, learning, and even having a teacher to quiz us on a nightly episode or category from time to time. Nevertheless, the one man that deserves to fill those shoes is this fella right here. I remember that long stretch that Ken ran maybe 15 years ago where he kept winning and winning and winning. I was never much of a jeopardy fan until I continued watching just to see if anyone could knock the man from his pedestal of victory, but no one could. It was as if Ken Jennings was the human encyclopedia!!! Knowledge is power, or so they say, and well...that's why Ken has my support for the new host of the show that made him a household name. Good luck to you, sir. U deserve this.

First EPIC lol moment of the Post-Trebek era! Good thing his victory was a lock already.

Ken is doing a great job. I'm very happy to say.

Lol I love how Ken responded to this

Ken Jennings has to be the new permanent host of Jeopardy! Nuff said ~

Who knew that a year from now, Ken would still be at that host lectern, and there would be a 38-day champion reigning.

I remember being SO PROUD when I got the H&R Block answer correct. I've got nothing on Ken most days, but I beat him on that question 16 years ago.

I love Ken as the host of Jeopardy!!!!

There's no doubt he makes them feel at ease. There's great flow of dialogue. Yes, Alex will always be remembered, but I make no apologies, Ken Jennings is the best and needs to be the named the permanent host!

There will never be another Alex, but there will never be another one like Ken Jennings for many years or maybe perhaps decades. Get someone who is passionate about what they do. And this man is it!
