Ken Jennings and Jeopardy Masters

[Imzadi]

It's been a while now that Ken Jennings has been host, after that whole debacle with executive producer Mike Richards making himself host, then being fired.

How do you feel Ken has been doing? And are you watching the Jeopardy Masters tournament?

I like Ken. I have always liked him. He had such big shoes to fill and was in Alex's shadow. I thought he would eventually loosen up and grow into the hosting role, and I think he's done that. He shows a lot of his own personality now and sense of humor.

I think Jeopardy Masters is interesting. The contestants all seem to have been able to spend some time together off-camera and know each other rather well now. It's interesting to see that their own personalities seem to be just as big of a part of whether they are able to take control of the board and keep it, and win or lose a match, since they many of them seem to have the same level of knowledge.

That said, I think the person in the lead now will win it all.

I like Ken Jennings and think he’s doing a great job as host. I like Mayim Bialik also as host. It’s a good mix and keeps the show interesting.

We’ve been watching Jeopardy Masters but we’re behind a few episodes. I like the concept and hope they hold one again in the future.

I agree with all of this. IMO, Ken has proven himself worthy of the job.

Watching the masters tournament now. The ones I’m rooting for have had disappointing games. I think you’re right about who will win. I’m also enjoying all the light-hearted joking and chitchat amongst the contestants. They’re all obviously smart and competitive, yet seem like good sports, some more humble than others.

I like both

I’m watching too. Agree about the winner too.

I don’t know how any of these people know what they know. Especially the long names tonight.

I like both Ken and Mayim. I’m sure James will win the Masters Tournament. The amount of knowledge he has is amazing but I find him annoying.

I love, love, love James. He's the only reason I'm watching the Masters tournament. I do wish Ken was in the tournament and Mayim was hosting. Ken is a decent host but he's soooo smart that he could've given James a run for his money. Ken did beat James in one of the previous champion shows. I'm weird and I liked Mike Richards when he hosted but I get why he had to go.

I like Ken and Mayim as hosts. I am not watching Jeopardy Masters as most of my unfavorites are in it.
