@@jerzeykowboy9425 When Trebek started on Jeopardy, I remembered him from "The Wizard of Odds", I didn't know about "High Rollers". He will always be best remembered for Jeopardy, of course, but I think the description they used for him on that first show, the "wily wizard", is fitting for his wide knowledge and his skill as a host. Hard to believe he himself forgot that first show's name. RIP.

Ken liked and respected Alex, he will honor him, throughout his career as host of the show. I wish him well.

I thought Jennings didn't want it, but I'm thrilled he was chosen.
I was really hoping Mayim was going to replace Alex! Great personality and so intelligent.
Let us also not forget that, like Tom Bergeron, Ken Jennings also has some experience hosting a game show as well, as he did just that after his epic run on Jeopardy. I also totally called it that Ken Jennings was going to replace Alex Trebek as the host of Jeopardy.
No one can fill Alex Trebek’s shoes. He will truly be missed. Rest In Peace. My deepest condolences for his family.

RIP, Alex Trebek. 😔 💕 Ken Jennings is a good choice to host now; he is personable, affable, and easy to like. I hope this keeps up. I wish him all the best.

I think Ken Jennings is the perfect choice. I looked at Jeopardy checking out the different house from time to time, and Ken seems to be so at ease with reading the questions just like Alex did... I haven’t watch Jeopardy in a little while, because it seems to of lost its appeal on how the questions are asked. Sometimes they are asked in a confusing way, but when Ken was reading the questions out, it was just like having Alex back out there again. He would read them with such assuredness, and responded just the way Alex would’ve been the question what is not answered right. Yes Ken Jennings is your man, and I would love to see him up there on a permanent basis, so I can enjoy watching Jeopardy once again. Sincerely, Jane ALAMILLO, LANDCASTER, CALIFORNIA

Loved the show, loved Alex and know how hard it will be to fill his shoes. Ken Jennings is a great choice, he's smart, fast, affable and very familiar to Jeopardy fans. Love the way he paid tribute to Alex on his first show, and even more the way he thanks Alex at the end of every game. Hope it works out, and Jeopardy continues on as one of the greatest of all game shows!! 👍👍🙋♀️🤗

Before Alex passed away I was hoping Ken would be chosen as his replacement, so I'm extremely happy for him and us. Alex knew Ken would end up carrying the torch and he's done an excellent job so far. Alex can never truly be replaced, but Ken is loved and will do honor to Alex and the greatest and smartest game show ever created. Thank you, Merv Griffin.

I wanted to watch James more , a kinda cool dude , so smart with his money bets. I just couldn’t believe a man in tha gambling world had mad such a success out of that line of work. Very fascinating- and his laugh was very fun to watch! So Thankyou to James for the few times he did laugh!
I gave goosebumps listening to this commentary. Ken was my choice “HANDS DOWN”. Congratulations Ken!
ken Jenning is doing a great job in carrying on with the same calm friendly attitude. He is trust worthy as a host who is just as knowledgeable if not more than the contestants.
Aaron Rogers is #1. He did a great job hosting and we loved how he hosted his 2 weeks.

I like him too but I’m sure Mike Richarrds(the producer) et al probably thought he was too much of a character. Which is what I liked about him however they need someone more demure. I think Ken is a great choice. Congrats from Montreal. Et merci Alex pour 35 and de perfection. Thanks

people are retarded for wanting ken jennings.
There is no instead he is the perfect person to fill in the void Uncle Alex permanently left--Ken is a fairly young- smart- congenial-I believe they are preparing him- by his being on other game shows made it easier for the transition. Uncle Alex will always be associated with Jeopardy- but my watching the show since it first aired 36+ years ago leaves me to believe Jennings mannerisms are similar to Uncle Alex's. and the audiences will except him.

How the new game host for Jeopardy was picked, is so ingeniously cool. Ken, I wish you the best, but, Alex will truly be the true game show host in my ❤ ❤❤
Love Ken Jennings.. all the guest hosts so far have been really good yet Ken Jennings is my favorite. I was talking to my husband about Ken being a great replacement a while ago. I think he is the perfect choice.
Loved watching Jeopardy. Always kept an eye on the time to make sure I had it to the right channel on time. Will always remember the day of his passing, it was also my late mothers birthday.
Been watching since the 80’s. If Anderson would have been chosen to host. I would have never watched Jeopardy again.

Hey! If Alex himself says a person can be the “star” of the show (narrator says that the guests are the stars of the show) in case he retires, just let him be the”star” of the show
I couldn't be happier. Ken was my first and only choice. Not only his love of the game but his personality blends so well with the contestants. I think Alex would be proud of him.

We need Ken Jennings! I loved it when Ken said “Thank you, Alex!” at the end of every episode he hosted.
I was totally shocked to see what a fantastic job Ken Jennings has done hosting Jeopardy. I was not at all for him filling in on Jeopardy. I thought he would be showing off how intelligent he is and not be a natural on camera. Boy was I WRONG! The way he honors Alex and keeps things moving along and interacts with the contestants is flat out incredible! Thank you....Ken Jennings.

Aaron Rodgers did an AMAZING Job! He had a very good time teasing the contestants. I loved his expression of mock horror when all three contestants couldn’t come up with a Green Bay Packers’’ !! ‘’Really guys?’’ ‘’You couldn’t come up with the Packers?’’ Wow. Wow indeed Aaron! It’s true, no one can hold a candle to Alex. But I’ll bet Alex is cheering him on. If you didn’t catch him during 2 week trial stint, go to Hulu and check him out.
