This article only covers Burton stepping into the ring but Rodgers and Jennings are strong front runners. I'm rooting for LeVar although Aaron is pretty damn good so far.

Here are the other guest hosts lined up for now as a reminder

Why does it matter? Jeopardy has been dead since they let Dr. Oz host it.

Ratings went down for good reason, nobody likes that assbag "Dr." Oz, but I have a feeling they'll be back up after this week.

Levar would probably be best. Jennings would be good too

Rodgers would get my vote cause go Bears

I'd be OK if LeVar and Jennings kinda shared the reigns so to speak.

If I had to pick one over the other it would be difficult. LeVar is more entertaining but I feel like Jennings is the more natural trivia host guy.

i don't know who is seriously considering Aaron Rodgers as a fulltime host or why

Why is because he came out and said he wants to be the new host

Jennings deserves it imo as he brought the show some newfound popularity after it had kinda been stagnant for a while but I'd be okay with Burton.

The worst part about Burton doing it is that means any hopes of reading rainbow or a spiritual successor reboot are dead for good.

If Burton isn't available, just get Psychostick to do it.

Jennings had like negative personality as a host imo, the guy is boring as hell.

I liked the producer guy the best so far, no idea what his name is.

Would love to see how burton does, Geordi hosting jeopardy would be awesome if he still has that smooth friendly charm he pulled off in TNG and reading rainbow.

Good for him, now he just needs to grow some stage presence and basic charisma.

If they want a long-term replacement it'll be someone in their 30s/40s. Most of these candidates are above that.

No fairly about it, any long running gameshow host is a dream job. Work 2 months out of the year and bask in the riches in between.

Burton is an experienced actor and host and would be great Im sure. But hes already 64, and theyre probably looking for someone who can be the host for the next 20+ years.

Back when Trebek announced his diagnosis I got to thinking who I'd like to see take over, and the guy I came up with was J. Keith van Straaten. Thought of him because he used to host Beat the Geeks, which was similar to Jeopardy.
