Joe Buck will be fine, he's annoying when you have to listen to him fill air for 4 hours but as far as "presenter skills" there's a reason he's Fox's main guy for all sports.

Joe Buck as the host of Jeopardy is somehow both the last person I would have picked and yet somehow makes complete sense.

Its like sequels in a franchise where the 9nly constant is Brockmire.

Personally love that idea for a show and its prob why it remained so fresh for 4 seasons

I don't think it will be Jennings, but it won't be Burton and Jennings is more likely than him. Sony / CBS wants someone who can be the show's anchor for another few decades, and Burton is 64. Beyond that, they aren't going to pick someone whose name overshadows the show. The permanent host will be someone that people kind of recognize in an "Oh, that person" kind of way, but not a household name.

I haven't been keeping a close track of the guest hosts, but who among them is in the realistic "multiple decades as host" kind of age range?

This is where CBS has really botched things on the PR front. They were auditioning people last year, when Trebek's cancer got worse. These guest host shots aren't auditions (at least the first round wasn't, I don't know what Buck is talking about regarding the permanent job, considering he's the god king of Fox Sports), it's the producers trying to juice the ratings and finish out season 37 while trying to get a handle on any other changes that might be made for season 38.

Have you checked out his podcast? It started a while ago as a one of as part of Dan LeBatard's show, and when he left ESPN Dan signed him to his new media company (along with Michael Schur and Adam McKay among others). So now its a weekly podcast, entirely in character, and he just spent the first ten minutes of his new one bitching about Joe Buck hosting Jeopardy and threatening to go full Turd Ferguson on him if he ever ends up a contestant.

I like that (Hannibal season 3 spoiler) Abigail is the only one that dies after season 2, the rest of the characters just get messed up and deeply existential. Season 3 in general is very dark, its fully inside its own world now

Not sure if you've finished Season 3 yet from your post so if not then avoid this since it's a spoiler from the end:

I just binge watched the entirety of Justified over the last couple weeks, and I really enjoyed it for the first couple seasons, but feel like it never hit those heights again. I know thinking 2 is the peak is conventional wisdom (as is thinking 5 is the worst), but one reason I think I liked 1 more than the rest is because having more episodic stuff actually seemed like a positive for this show, which is an opinion I pretty much never have. The season long plots just felt kind of stretched/exhausting to me, and led to Boyd in particular being overused/overexposed (despite how good Walton Goggins is) which hurt season 6 a lot imo, where this often desperate/pathetic small town crook who's kind of failed upwards (if that) for a while is public enemy #1 instead of the seemingly more dangerous Markham. It just feels really artificial how the final season switch was flipped and suddenly poo poo everyone ignored about Boyd for years really mattered to everyone, but also Boyd never really being in the driver's seat for long (or a threat to Raylan at all really) in the season where he was the big bad felt weird.. I feel bad for the actors who played Tim and Rachel, since on most shows they would have seen more screen time as the seasons went on, but between Raylan, Boyd and whatever seasonal villains were around, they (especially Rachel) were barely even characters.

I'm enough of a sap that I was sad it didn't work out with Raylan and Winona, even though he absolutely didn't even deserve another chance with her after not even visiting her and their daughter when he was in Florida in season 5. Some of his issues with putting work first in earlier seasons felt 'justified,' but he seemed like an increasingly obsessed weirdo in 5 and 6.

To be fair, i could also like the earlier seasons the most because watching six seasons in two weeks was too much and that's why later seasons felt exhausting as much as anything. :shrug:

It would just be Hannibal performing a sex change operation on Buffalo Bill that results in changing his name to Clarice.
