^excuse me but this is the thread police. I find you guilty of posting about a topic in a thread where there is another topic. Punishment is kudos from all except tgl. Do you accept these terms?

I haven't watched a single episode after Trebek died and have limited opinions on this except to say that the entire civilized world seems to be in favor of LeVar Burton and every second that passes without him being host is affront to humanity.

He already went through the wringer over that. Disability IS sad regardless of one's appearance.

I don't want Levar Burton and honestly I don't know if he really wants it. It is a ton of pressure for someone that doesn't really live in the limelight anymore.

Ken would not be bad. It really doesn't matter who they get, whoever the permanent host is will be compared to Alex and will not live up to expectations. The new host will have a short honeymoon phase and then the viewership will fall off.

I really liked Alex, but I honestly don't care too much about the host (as long as they're not super-annoying). I'm there for the trivia.

He's been pretty consistent and open in saying that he does want it, from what I've read. You're right that nobody will live up to the mythic image of Trebek, but at least he's got a huge swell of goodwill and support to burn through while he learns the ropes.

As an aside, I get that plenty of people probably wouldn't want to be host, but for the life of me I can't understand why. It's 3-4 days a week of work, not many weeks out of the year. Enough time to pursue virtually any other project; enough money to chill out at home fixing sprinkler systems if that's your jam (as it was Trebek's).

^So who would be your own preference at this stage?

Former champion and guy who definitely wants to be host Buzzy Cohen would be a very solid choice and would probably start off stronger than Burton, but I'd be very happy with either. No doubt there are many others who would be good, but among the guest hosts who would plausibly take on the job, either of them would be my choice.
