She should have retired 20 years ago. It’s been 41 years with her turning letters. Let WOF give some other woman a shot. Even somebody in her late 30’s would be good enough.
I think he’ll be fine. I live alone and watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune while eating dinner. Sort of ho-hum, but better that eating with just the cat.
BTW, people thought Jeopardy would die with out Alex Trebeck, but Ken Jennings turns out to be reasonably personable too.
IIRC, some people were really upset that Trebek took over for Art Fleming and said no one could ever replace Fleming.
Before that he was the host of American Idol.
Kan and Mayim are both excellent, in different ways.
They couldn’t afford the lawyers.
Not Liz Cheney then?
I’ve heard the name ..going to look him up.

I do remember his short-lived late night show, he was okay but he just really wasn’t suited for it.
I don’t understand the popularity of the show. The puzzles are goofy and the contestants are usually just a little strange. Pat and Vanna are a little corny, thought not unpleasant. Most of all the show is just very bland.
ANOTHER WHITE MALE!!!??? The trannycult has got to be fuming.
Let’s go woke and have a tranny turner, you just know there have been meetings about this.
Forgot about Art Fleming.
Just looked him up. His Wikipedia page records that Merv Griffin (who hired him for Jeopardy) described Art Fleming as "authoritative, yet warm and interesting."
That strikes me as a remarkably accurate and perceptive description.
Merv Griffin must have been a very intelligent guy.
I saw him not long ago, one time, when he was on that morning show, which I never watch. I was impressed with his quick wit.
Yeah. I think he’ll be just fine.
Oddly, Art Fleming and Alex Trebek died of the same disease.
” Whoopie Rape-rape Goldberg loses to white guy.”
Seriously, I’m glad they didn’t pick a non-white, not because there are no good non-whites out there, but I would interpret it as woke-ism piled high.
My wife enjoys the show. For me it’s become too much the Pat and Vanna show. So nice how at the end Pat and Vanna always have a little conversation with each other.
When I was a kid Gene Rayburn (”Match Game”) and Art Fleming (”Jeopardy”) were on NBC in the 1960’s.
Don Pardo also in my memory announcing those “Jeopardy” shows.
This is a pilot “Match Game” from 1962...

Those Silver Age game show hosts were the best. Art James, Bill Cullen, Jack Barry, Gary Moore, Wink Martindale. Regular guys (Bill Cullen almost qualifies as special needs) who weren’t necessarily handsome, but were likeable guests in the home. I was a game show junkie as a youngster, so I am familiar with most of them. When home sick it was that, cartoons, old sitcoms, or reading comic books (school work?! But I’m SICK!)
