    So... Ken Jennings or a complete nobody. I'd probably boycott if they chose anyone else.
    I feel the same about food travel shows as well.

    But in my mind Joel McHale was a TV host/personality who became a celebrity/TV actor, so him becoming a game show host kinda goes back to his old bread n' butter.

    Eh. He started as an actor, but then got some hosting gigs to make ends meet. But I think the most important thing for a game show host is that I don't know of you outside of your game show. Exceptions should be few and far between (like Groucho, Richard Dawson, Regis, maybe a few others).

    Jeff Probst from Survivor. I mean there may never be another season of Survivor for a while if ever? Plus Trebek mentioned Probst as someone he thought would be a good host for Jeopardy.

    I'm all in on Ken Jennings. He's legitimately really smart, has long time ties to the show, has a producer credit now, and was clearly being groomed by Alex these past few months. Before this, the only other guy I thought of was Neil Degrasse Tyson.

    But I'm in complete agreement with the idea that some random celebrity would be stupid and frankly disrespectful.

    My pick for a while has been Ben Mankiewicz.

    Yup. Fortunately, Jennings has been named to the roster of guest hosts for the relaunch.

    I was intrigued by suggestions of Jon Stewart. I love the guy, and he's smart enough, but he's got too many pointy edges, and you need to sell this show to a wide range of people.
