Trebek is irreplaceable, but if the show must go on I hope Ken Jennings takes a shot at the job.

Former contestants could, in principle, be biased against their rivals. Not that Ken is likely to behave unethically but that makes it hard to have him as host.

There’s not a whole lot of room for discretion here though.

Could tap Watson for the job. I bet it's fair

Openly adversarial game shows could be interesting

Personally, I'd love to see Andy Richter or Michael McKean as a successor. They're both suuuuper sharp, and probably the best ever Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants.

Jennings has said he doesn't want it. He would have to relocate his family to L.A. or commute weekly from Seattle, which he doesn't want to do. He also doesn't really want any more of a celebrity/showbiz lifestyle than he already has.

This page opened a new tab urging me to call Microsoft support because someone is trying to access my bank accounts.

It’s usually a bad ad, and only a percentage of visitors will be targeted.
