So there's now a petition going around to make MatPat the next Jeopardy host... After his Jeopardy theory video, I'm certain he's already blackballed from Sony. Plus, a lot of the megachampions the show had has called him out on his crackpot theories regarding Holzhauer's streak ending. He would not hold up, plus his hosting abilities on The Runner was atrocious.

Ken Jennings is going to be the Charlie Bucket/Kenneth the Page of this whole situation, hell he looks the part.
The questionable jokes are his fizzy lifting drinks.

J! had to rush to fit them into the taping schedule. I attended a taping in the past. The usual routine is 3 episode day one & 2 episodes day two. So 5 in one isn't unheard of. That's not surprising to me, but for the sake of an audition, I'm bothered whenever I see it implied that he was given anything resembling an equal chance. Yeah but I'm not sure Sony TV/J! Internally viewed the GH slot as auditions rather then a way to keep ratings up. Did anyone think that Aaron Rodgers was really gonna give up football or Anderson Cooper would leave CNN? The producers choose people who has established careers and current jobs to make it clear (imo) that the whole thing was a ratings ploy. The fan movement for Burton caught them off guard. Had they been up front from the begining (Celebrity fans are going to host to honor Alex, while we look for a long term host) the reaction wouldn't have been so bad.

How about Vince as guest host? The ShamWow guy? "Today's categories are...YOU'RE GONNA LOVE MY NUTS...that's squirrel trivia..."

There was a tv movie (based off a book) made about the whole Leno/Letterman tonight show thing, this thing could get that treatment as well, considering how insane it's gotten.

Give Brendon Frasier and Guy Fieri a chance “I’ll take “Culinary Destinations” for $800 Guy” “Ok….the answer is: “This city is the location for the best cheesesteaks in the world” “What is Philadelphia?” “Incorrect…the question was “What is Flavor Town”” “Again!?”

I think it's very reasonable to say he was done dirty. None of the other hosts had to tape all of their episodes in a single day. I also believe everybody else got two weeks worth of episodes while he only got one. Producers also have the ability to edit out dead air and mistakes others most certainly have made. If they actually want to make a host look better, they can. Brutha had to work more than twice as hard, with half the opportunity. It hit close to home for me because I've been there in the entertainment industry. He was not the only person to get one week, but he was one of the few that only got a week. It's certainly up there, but I still think the Conan/NBC fallout takes that cake. Leno/Letterman is up there as well. The biggest thing of all this is basically none of the people Alex spoke about replacing him in interviews even got a chance to guest host save for Jennings. Yeah, Robin Roberts, David Faber, and Joe Buck also only got a week each. And TBH, I thought all three were a lot better than LeVar Burton.
And yeah, I hope with this round of new guest hosts, that Alex's own chosen possibilities get a chance. Though with Mike Richards gone entirely from the show, there's more of a chance of that happening at least.

There's realistically only choice left, and to be fair it would bring everything full circle for him:

I like/want to see the insanity resulting from the idea of having Watson host but programming it with Trebek's voice that I saw on some online article.
