Only recently that I hear about Ken Jennings hosting. Still rooting for his permanent spot

Ken Jennings is my top pick.

Buzzy should become the full time host. Mayim can do the primetime specials as she's already been tapped to do. The head of Sony television already said in the last press release that they were planning to hire two hosts.

It was just announced that Ken and Mayim will be sharing hosting duties for the remainder of the 2021-2022 TV season.

"some fans were bothered by Levarr's vigor" He's an actor.

Buzzy should be at #1, since he’s the best host and everybody loves him.

No one will beat Alex Trebek in my mind.

Some fans were bothered by Burton's animated vigor? No shit. He was loud, over the top and trying way too hard. Also, isn't he in his mid-60's? Jeopardy will drive away a lot of long-time fans when/if they bring in Burton full-time!! I agree with what others have said. Buzzy would be much better.

Honorable mention: April 1, 1997. Pat Sajak hosted an episode for a day while Alex hosted Wheel of fortune same day.

I honestly thought Faber was by far the best of the candidates to succeed Trebek.

Mayim Bialik, Buzzy Cohen, and Anderson Cooper were my favorites (with Mike Richards struck out). LeVar was actually terrible - whether it was nerves or just an inability to match the hype, he just dropped the ball too many times and stumbled in the gameplay. Plus, as others said, at age 63, he’s just not the right choice for Sony if they are looking for a long term replacement and not have to repeat this fiasco in 10-15 years.

Ken Jennings #1, Buzzy Cohen #2, & David Faber #3

Well…you won't find Mike Richards on this list. Haha.

I think Mayim or Buzzy would make great hosts. Plenty of "nerd cred" for both of them, and they did a fantastic job as guest hosts. Entertaining but understated enough to keep the focus on the contestants instead of on themselves. Alex Trebek always said the contestants, not the host, are the real stars of the show, and I hope whoever they pick follows that same mindset.

ken Jennings should be the new host of Jeopardy! he's made for that show

Why was Brad Rutter never given a guest host opportunity? He is the all time Jeopardy! highest earnings winner, readily defeated Ken Jennings in two tournaments, and has an acting background. He's the perfect candidate, but was never even given a guest hosting job.

I would have loved to see Will Ferrell or maybe Kermit the Frog hosting “Jeopardy!”

Number two, Dr. Mayim Bialik.

Don't forget! LeVar Burton is also Kwame in Captain Planet.

Love to watch Jeopardy with ken J. every single time. He has all needs to replace Alex. I am glad he is the Host of Jeopardy.. Very smart. Great job.

LeVar Burton is a great choice and my vote as a host. Mayiam Bialik was amazing in her own right as host. Ken Jennings knocked it out of the park. Honorable mention to Aaron Rodgers who surprised me.

Man I thought Alex would live forever.

Cohen, Couric, Rodgers, and Jennings.

If you haven’t already, you should do the Top 10 or 20 Wins on Jeopardy!

I love the fact that they gave levar the #1 spot I think he did great and deserves more than a week to try out since most of the early hosts had 2 weeks

Brad Rutter really should have been given a chance though. I actually liked Dr. Oz and Sanjay Gupta, but a lot of people don't agree with me on that statement.

My two cents: David Faber: competent but corporate. Savannah Guthrie: Too chirpy, a la daytime-y. Robin Roberts: Surprisingly fun and engaging but her character and celebrity may draw too much attention away from the contestants and towards her. Dr. Sanjay Gupta: He ticks all the boxes but there's something understated about his performance which I'm not sure will improve over time. Aaron Rodgers: Too dry and lacks character. Anderson Cooper: See Robin Roberts, above. In addition, Cooper doesn't _feel_ like a Jeopardy host. Buzzy Cohen: Immediate like. Charming, geeky (in all the best ways) and charismatic, without going over the top. Mr. Personality, indeed. Ken Jennings: Technically, he deserves the gig but, at the moment, Jennings feels 'mousey' in his performance. Also, just because you _played_ a million times doesn't qualify you to be a host. However, I believe he will grow into the role and he will become a Jeopardy treasure should he land the hosting duty. Mayim Bialik: Love her. Just the right amount of pep, energy and spirit, plus authentic (you _believe_ she's a fan of the show) and a great complement to the guests. LeVar Burton: The male version of Bialik: bright, cheery, knowledgeable, and, of course, he's LeVar Freaking Burton! But what notches Burton above Bialik (but just a notch) is Burton radiates a child-like wonder and fanboy persona that's cozy and infectious. So top three, for me: Buzzy Cohen, Mayim Bialik and LeVar Burton at number one by a gnat's hair over Bialik. Just my opinion.

Amazing

I think Aaron Rodgers was #1 IMHO. He had charisma and had a great sense of humor. I do wish James Holzhauer had a shot at hosting.

I’m surprised they never had Neil deGrasse Tyson on the show

In my opinion, Levar Burton should have been #7 or 8. Top 3 are 3. Aaron Rogers 2. Mayim Bialik 1. Ken Jennings

Don’t forget Joe Buck, George Stephanopoulos, Bill Whitaker, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Katie Couric and executive producer Mike Richards.

What is "I haven't watched Jeopardy in decades & I agree with this list, most of all where LeVar Burton is ranked"?

The first guest host was pat seyjack on April fools day Alex hosted wheel of fortune that day.

Been waiting for this

Why wasn't the permanent host, Will Farrell cosplaying Alex Trebek?

Ken Jennings is on the top #1 syndicated version host! Mayim Bialik is on the top #1 primetime version host.

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left"

good video watch mojo is a great channel

I wonder if James Holzhauer would be a guest host?

Without a doubt, Ken Jennings

Let's settle this and offer Matt Amodio the job.

If you ask me, Rogers couldn’t have seem less interested in hosting if he tried.

Nice

Can you do a versus video between the two planets DC Mogo and Marvel Ego the Living Planet?

Just waiting for MatPat to become the permanent host. I'd like to watch Jeopardy again.

It’s too bad Pat Sajek is so old. The one time he filled in for Trabek he killed it.

First, Rebecca, you are so bright and beautiful. It's so nice to actually see you. Also, great list. I know Alex will never fully be replaced, but Mayim is my first choice, followed by Ken and LeVar.

My favorites were... Katie Couric, Robin Roberts, Anderson Cooper, Mayim Bialik, and LaVar Burton.

0:04-0:05

jeopardy seems a like game show

Is so weird that Alex Trebek is gone. He’s been the LONGEST game show host as long as I’ve watched Jeopardy. I haven’t seen a single episode of Jeopardy recently, Alex Trebek WAS the host to the show and made Jeopardy into what it is today. There was even a computer game that had Alex Trebek’s voice in it.

There were Hosts that did not have an artificial facade. Those would be: Robin Roberts, Ken Jennings, Aaron Rodgers (May be spelled Rogers). Alex Trebek was a real personality. He did not try to be something else.

I think LeVar Burton is great guy, but his hosting gig was full of awkward pauses. He even had a case of calling a correct answer wrong, and then having to correct himself. He just seemed to struggle with keeping up with the game.

What is ken jennings

Ken Jennings or LeVar Burton

Pat Sajak

LeVar Burton clearly did get the hosting gig, because on his first episode(aired July 26 2021), his performance was tainted by a player named Patrick Pearce, a product specialist from Fountain View, CA. He breaks the record for lowest score ever seen on Jeopardy! which was -$7400. (previously was -$6800 held by Stephanie Hull since March 12 2015)

gerry wilson forgot some of hese people but all deserve to be remembered as this is not an easy job and those who criticized mayim shoild've kept their views to themselves as i doubt they could've done the job better

LaVar Burton has my vote! 👍

I heard about Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosting.

Dr. Mayim Bialik should get the full job, having a woman in science on national TV every night would inspire so many new young scientists.

My fav was Arron rogers

It'd be quicker to say who's not in the top 10.

But you don't have to take My word for it.

It's unbelievable that anyone thinks Aaron Rodgers was a good Jeopardy! host. I mean, to be fair, I'm not sure he was awake, or even alive, during his stint, so he had that as a disadvantage.

Who is...BUZZY COHEN!!!!

I love beautiful are voice

I would think NFL Quarterbacks should host jeopardy

Anderson Cooper I've heard as well. I heard he was pretty good

My money would have been on Mike Richards OR Ken Jennings, but...yeah. LeVar Burton got done dirty because A: he only guest hosted for a week as opposed to every other guest host's two, and B: his episodes aired during the Olympics. Buzzy Cohen would be my second pick after LeVar Burton

You are joking right? Levar is a great dude, but sucked big time on jeopardy... Did you not watch his episodes?

Is Matt Pat actually wants to be the host or a host

still like Mayim the best so far

#1 Hulk Hogan

Aaron Rogers

Hell no Buzzy should be number one on the list

6

Tom Hanks.

I didn't know Jordy from Star Trek hosted Jeopardy on one episode. He was a great host for Reading Rainbow. I wonder if WatchMojo will do a Top 10 Kids Show Themes video.

I found it funny that there was a clue about The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air during Levar Burton's tenure because he looks a little bit like Joseph Marcell.

I thought Bill Whitaker was most akin to Alex

Wow that's amazing

2

Could do a or few videos on Burn Notice.

My favorite was Aaron Rodgers. Now I'm not so sure. I watched Ken Jennings and he was good. I haven't watched the others.

#WhoIsMatpat

Can you do comic book origin of DC's L.E.G.I.O.N(Licensed Extra Governmental Interstellar Operatives Network)?

Nobody who actually watched LeVar Burton's episodes would rank him #1. He was terrible. On his last episode, it took him forever to tell a contestant whether they were right or wrong on Final Jeopardy. He has the right response on his card and can see what the contestants are writing in live time at the host lectern. There is no excuse for that. Mike Richards was the best guest host, in my opinion. But because Burton's Twitter sycophants have retroactively outlawed humor, the show will just have to suffer.

No. Anderson. Cooper. Yes. Mr. Burton👍

The eye visor from Star Trek would do well with Burton. He would look great.

Aaron Rodgers > Mayim Bialik

Rebecca, with that face, body and voice, you should be the host of Jeopardy!!!!!!

I have nothing against LeVar, but the constant campaigning needs to stop! He was terrible as host, period. He was so nervous and was trying too hard, so he made a bunch of mistakes (even misjudging a response once!). His games had confusing, weird energy which threw off the contestants and his taping day went on for hours. I really don't think that anyone who watched the previous Jeopardy! season regularly could place him in the top half, let alone the number one spot.

Well all of my favorites made this top ten. But I'm going to go against the flow and say that I was not as impressed with LeVar Burton as I hope I would be. He did come off a little overeager at the start, and there were also a couple of glitches in his first game or two that interrupted the flow. That, and he was CLEARLY suffering a bigger case of nerves than any of the other hosts. That said, he did settle in and was doing terrific by the end of the week. And that brings up another issue with him, in that he only had one week to prove himself, unlike a lot of the other contenders. Plus, that week was during the Olympics! Frankly, I think he deserves another shot, during a time of year when more people are watching, and two complete taping days instead of just one. I think he'd make a fine host once he and the crew all settled down and hit the right groove.

Lmao Levar at number one yeah right…he was awful

Aaron Rodgers will be on jeopardy in the future

Levar Burton has to be one of the worst guest hosts for Jeopardy ever!
