Very touching tribute from the executive producer prior to tonight’s episode.

So my cable box was out this afternoon when Jeopardy aired. Is there anywhere I can stream it? Checked iTunes Store, Hulu, ABC, Peacock and my TVs on demand. No luck.
Possibly a spoiler, but “calm” and “stalk” do NOT have a silent L

“Stalk” definitely does not, but some people pronounce “calm” as “cahm,” likely depending on where they grew up.
We pronounce stalk “stawk” in the northeast.

Many people pronounce stalking and stocking the same.
Oh yeah, someone who follows someone around is a “stawker.” Don’t know why I forgot that.
Lots of names getting thrown around to be the next host but one name I haven’t seen is:
She did The Chase and currently hosts Master Minds (Ken Jen is on this show regularly too as a mastermind) which both have speed rounds similar to the fast pace of Jeopardy. She’s likeable and has a decent sense of humor, and looks great on camera. Would be a very good choice imo.
I totally forgot she did Dog Eat Dog. Holy shit has she improved since then

Nah it needs to be a perpetually grumpy old person. A hot funny host would turn it into a completely different show. The host really needs to fade into the background.

Don’t FPS this; the choice is obvious.
It should be Ken Jennings unless he doesn’t want it.

Check her out on Master Minds if you get a chance. She’s not Sarah Silverman funny ffs, and for the 2 minutes of meet-the-guests banter she would be great. Alex was good-looking, and that was never presented as a problem either.
I’m not Brooke’s agent although I should be.
I only saw her on The Chase where she was way too peppy IMO, but it was more the type of show that encouraged that type of thing (stupid tease commercial breaks before revealing answers, overhyping it when the Beast would get a question wrong in the final round, etc.). While she might be fine, her performance there doesn’t tell me much since she’d have to give off a totally different vibe.

Guy Fieri and change the name to JJJ.
But seriously, yea it needs to be a famous contestant that would treat the role with the same decorum Trebek did.
Jennings is correct. He has the personality and love for the game to pull it off, plus he will inject some wit into it that I think has long been needed, no offense to the dearly departed.
If we’re going in that direction, I’d pick Aisha Tyler. She’s good on Whose Line Is It Anyway, quite smart (went to Dartmouth) and knows the show (she was in the $1,000,000 celebrity invitational tournament they did a few years ago).
