Topic	Alex Trebek is irreplaceable... but who do you think is going to replace him?

And that's taking her age off the table (she's 63) and the fact that she'd be a poor fit for the show in general, it's not exactly promoting from within. There are a lot of people who actually work on Jeopardy who could be promoted from within. She just happens to work at the same network for a different show and one where, although it probably wouldn't take much to replace her, she'd be missed. Honestly, even if Pat died, I doubt Vanna would be asked to step up full-time in his shoes, let alone take over for the host of another show. Black_Crusher posted... It took a while for me to get used to it but Carey is PERFECT for The Price Is Right. tbh, it's one of those casting choices you just hear and think, "Yeah, I can see it." Black_Crusher posted... IT's kind of amazing that Bob outlived Alex Trebek too. I mean he's easily 95 years old! Well, he didn't get pancreatic cancer. He's had other medical issues, but nothing that's followed him for years and years. I guess Bob retired at 83. While Alex mentioned considering retiring at some point, he suggested it wouldn't happen any time soon. SunWuKung420 posted... With Drew Carry hosting "The Price is Right" and Wayne Brady hosting "Let's Make a Deal", the only right choice is Ryan Stiles. While he'd be an interesting choice, he's also 61 which makes that a bit of a non-starter. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:946996552] in Alex Trebe...
