I think he'll make a great host
I think he'll make a great host
OKI'd at least like to see LeVar Burton's name mentioned along with George Stephanopoulus, Ken Jennings, and everyone else who have been named frequently as possible new hosts. He's just as qualified for the position as the others, if not more so given his background and experience. If you don't agree with the petition or what factors might be taken into account when the people in charge of Jeopardy hire a new host, feel free to move along and ignore this thread.

Definitely Huge Shoes to fill. Alex was the epitome of Jeopardy.. Someone Serious, intelligent, humble, kind, caring.... willing to allow the participants to "shine"....I do think it's going to be big shoes to fill regardless. For some many of us, Alex Trebek just *was* Jeopardy.
