wa27 posted:*57 Years LOL I was going to type "guest host" and then I forgot and I looked at it and was like "can you be hosed fixing it" and then I went "nah, it's fine, no one will be that pedantic". But I mean, yeah, you're 100% right.

Mike Richards was on a Wall Street Journal podcast on Friday and confirmed that these are in fact auditions and that the current intention is to select the new permanent host from among the guest hosts. I know there was speculation earlier that these were just stunt casting gimmicks to finish out the season but this would seem to contradict that.

Why the gently caress was the Ansel Adams question today (the first Daily Double in Double Jeopardy) labeled a Video Daily Double? It was a still photograph. Bill Whitaker did extremely well, by the way.

I didn't know who is but he reminds me of Alex. * Looking at Wikipedia he's known for 60 Minutes/CBS News which I haven't watched in forever.

Doesnt it just mean any time you have to look at a screen for part of the clue? New guy was ok..kinda sleepy sounding but i guess that fits for the average 60 Min viewer

Bill Whitaker reminds me of a Bill Whitaker-shaped robot built for hosting, sort of like Bernard in Westworld. So natural that it feels like he's on autopilot for the entire time

puppets freak me out posted:Yeah that was a weird one, she absolutely should have gotten ruled correct for that. I'm wondering if there has been a strange pandemic-related shakeup with the writing and judging staff or something, because there have been some absolutely boneheaded things this season--not just with the guest hosts, there was some weird poo poo going on when Trebek was still with us--that have boggled my mind. Edit: Darth Brooks posted:I didn't know who is but he reminds me of Alex. Whitaker had a few issues in today's episode, most notably the timing between the contestants' answers and his responses (which is strange, that's something that can be very easily fixed in editing), but he felt the most polished of everyone who has taken the podium so far.

There were a lot more clues than usual in that game that made me go "oof". The writers room really is struggling with the pandemic and this was a night when it was noticeable. But yeah, still shots being "video" daily doubles has been a thing since like at least the early 2000s I liked Bill Whittaker as host. I thought he did an excellent job.

Hed posted:Bill does a great job but has such a matter-of-fact cadence (like Katie Couric) it can put me to sleep. yea he's not BAD or anything but his tone and all sounds almost like he's the host of a Jeopardy video game or something, like all his lines are prerecorded he's hitting a button to play. He seems like a nice guy and all but yea it's kinda weird to listen to.

I agree. Anderson CooperI had the same kind of feeling to me; it's like he's invisible and not really part of the game at all. I do think his rhythm is better than Anderson's was, though.

Khizan posted:So far Aaron Rodgers has been my favorite. I feel the same. He and Ken are probably the only ones so far treating this as a actual audition for the job. The other hosts seem to be on autopilot outside of Mike who has his hands full already. I think Ken should still be involved in the show some way but to me he doesn't pull off the gravitas needed for hosting. Aaron didn't either at first but he learned quickly and given his shenanigans with the Packers at the moment, might need that skill set sooner than expected.

If this really isnt any type of real audition for the spot id rather they had former contestants do the guest host jobs. Im sure they have their own lives/jobs but man id much rather have seen Tom Nissley, Alex Jacob, Julia Collins, Matt Jackson, ect than any of these tv news clowns. Wouldn't even care about who can do the best Alex impersonation Id just like to see them again. Even an Arthur loving Chu dumpster fire week would be more entertaining than "Dr" Oz

I understand when the wager being bad when it's confusing, I wouldn't do very well on that either, but when the correct wager is very obvious, I'm just baffled. Play to win! It's not a game among friends, it's a drat game show, haha.

Why was that early question designed to poo poo on black people? The Rastafarianism one. The writing has been really loving awful for a while now.

You spend your whole life thinking you'd want play for real then games like today's remind me that I would've bet huge on the FJ category, then spend all 30 seconds fixated on "colour" and immediately jumped off a bridge once I saw the answer.
