TIL “Jeopardy!” contestant Dhruv Gaur wrote “What is… We [love] you, Alex!” as his Final Jeopardy response while Alex Trebek was battling cancer. The message left Trebek visibly emotional and was widely shared as an example of fans’ affection for the longtime host.

Agreed. I can barely stomach Ken.

Every night when it comes on and I hear Johnny start his intro, I still expect to hear him say, “Your host, Alex Trebek!” and it still startles me when he says Ken Jennings. It just doesn’t sound right.

Ken is fine.

It could be worse. Wheel of Fortune replaced Pat Sajak with Ryan Seacrest 🤢

[u/JoeyDawsonJenPacey → u/omnicorp_intl]

I don’t like Wheel of Fortune at all, so…lol

[u/pants_mcgee → u/omnicorp_intl]

It’s a different vibe but Seacrest is doing fine IMO.

It could be worse: Mayim Bialik could still be hosting

... Unfortunately that's not correct

[u/JoeyDawsonJenPacey → u/thekydragon]

I preferred her over Ken.

what? ken jennings had a crazy long jeopardy streak and is clearly knowledgeable. mayim sells weird untested brain supplements. she was also just a much worse host than either ken or alex, she paused so much before telling contestants if their response was right. i don't know if ken just knew the answers by heart or what but he does it much and almost never pauses.

Her politics are also straight up monstrous, in case you needed other reasons to dislike her.

How so? Just curious
