An easy fix to this is just to end the show. It's not going to be the same without Trebek anyway, so why keep going? The same happened to The Price is Right when Bob Barker left. Sometimes it's okay for things to just end. It's a quiz show I just want to see answers and questions done by someone who isn't a jerk

And, you know, he didn't have a scandal hanging over him when he joined so...

I REALLY don't like Mayim Bialik as host. Her herky jerky exaggerated head movements and weird neck flexing annoy the hell out of me. On top of that she has the grating habit of repeating what the contestant just said in their answer.

LeVar Burton may not be hosting Jeopardy but he IS doing a game show...

Ken Jennings' current run as host is a lot better than his first run and both of Bialik's IMO.

I still don't get why they didn't just say X is the host. We'll have a round of fun guest hosts before they begin... and be f***ing done with it.
Maybe even do guest hosts a few times a year... literally anything is better than the dumb shit they pulled.
Also if you're going for guest hosts... maybe ask the like 3 other people Alex named as potential hosts in interviews... the only one they did was the obvious one in Ken.

Bill Cullen wasn’t very mobile during his career I think especially once he got older. While his mobility wasn’t an issue during TPIR’s original run, it would be a problem during the shows current run which obviously includes a lot of walking.

And if this was the Game Show Forum, one would probably answer with, WHOOSH. LOL

With how Richards panned out, they probably don't even know yet who they want to be the permanent replacement host.

Nothing against Mayim, but imo Ken is clearly better and has been the best to do the job besides Trebek.

And who put SIX celebrities on The Match Game? Why aren't any of them teamed up with the contestants, trying to see if all three team members can come up with a "Name something..." answer? And no A Swingin' Safari? This polka music crap is going to ruin it forever!!!!!

Sony’s statement says they hope they can continue working together on prime time specials but judging by the post Mayim made I have a feeling that’s unlikely.
EDIT: Retaliation for not working during the strikes? By offering to keep her on for specials it gives them plausible deniability it’s retaliatory.
