Poque posted:I think I like Rodgers best so far. Even over Ken. You're not the only one. Aaron to me was the wild card of the guest hosts as unlike the others he had no major TV experience. It was clear in his first taping that he hadn't nailed down the nuances of hosting a TV show (and honestly who could in one day?) but there were glimpses where he was getting comfortable with a style close to Alex. Whatever pointers he was given between tapings he must've taken to heart as he became more comfortable in the role and made it his own. I don't think he'll get the job due to his day job but once he hangs up his cleats, someone in power will want him on TV and not just on a pre game show. Assuming these are the auditions, here's my ranking on who gets the job: Ken Aaron Mike Katie A Calfornia Wildfire Dr. Oz Next one up, ex-Mole host Anderson Cooper

Between today’s FJ priming everyone for Brigham Young by throwing in the Utah bit, and the “cabin” word from the presidential FJ last week it sure seems like we’ve had some gotchas lately.

Totally didn't fall for the fake out this time and got it immediately  Honestly, kind of getting tired of the parade of white men rolling through. I really, really liked Aaron Rodgers though, and I think he's at the top of my list for the permanent job, with Ken pretty much right there along with him.

I'm definitely surprised because I would not have called it at the announcement, but add me to the list of goons that liked Aaron Rodgers as the host.

Not looking forward to Mayim Bialik for the same reason I avoided Dr. Oz. I'm part of a non-vaccinating family and here's some anti-vaxxer books. Oh no! People are mad and my career is in jeopardy? I'm not really anti-vaxxer and I pinky promise my kids have been vaccinated all along.  But I also think parents should be able to choose. I love this phrase and will sneak it in at every opportunity so people really know what I really think.

He's FOX's #1 sportscaster and is the most boringest turd who's ever ridden his dad's coattails into a broadcasting booth. Being FOX's #1 makes him the voice of the World Series, ugh.

I choose to believe Levar's agent knows what kind of leverage they've got and is playing hardball on the appearance fee. They know Jeopardy isn't going to walk away from those guaranteed ratings easily and is working on extracting the biggest check anyone has ever seen for an audition.

yea unless you're The Literal Ghost of Trebek you have zero leverage in getting one of the most cushy steady paychecks you can get in the TV industry. Like, whenever Pat Seajack dies there's gonna be a straight up battle royale for that gig. Also yea count me in on the 'surprisingly liked Rodgers a lot' train, I knew he had his celeb jeopardy run and all but the dude was pretty charming and him being a well known guy gave the contestants a couple chances to tease him like that 'I'm kind of the Aaron Rodgers of it' that the dude did about his hobby or whatever that was during one of the interview bits. Also eat my rear end Joe Buck. I know he's not a literal fraudster like Oz and Bialik and all but god is he such a boring moron.

WOF will be decided by whoever's blood doesn't appear on Vanna's knitting needles after the carnage is done. You would think if they wanted to look at a sportscaster, they would've looked at the one who hosted Sports Jeopardy but I guess not. Maybe they can get Brockmire in for a category. Either way, he can't be worse than Dr. Oz

Joe Buck has absolutely no charisma. Which, ya know, considering his job is kinda wild but here we are! Also my man almost died of hair plugs, he's easily the dumbest host including the magic bean peddler and anti-vaxx lady.

Like, whenever Pat Seajack dies there's gonna be a straight up battle royale for that gig. Having no leverage for a cushy job is literally how Pat Sajak wound up in the role in the first place. Chuck Woolery demanded a raise in his contract renewal negotiations. The producers told him he could be replaced by anyone for the job, even the local weatherman could do it. If he wanted to keep hosting, he wouldn't be getting a raise. Woolery thought he was calling their bluff by holding out, but no, they literally hired local weatherman Pat Sajak for the job!

They were auditioning possible hosts early last year, and ramped up when Trebek announced his cancer had gotten worse. They very certainly have a shortlist and they're just filling time before announcing the permanent host along with the start date of season 38. Some of the  poo poo is really getting hilarious.
