WE WANT GODGERS
or joe buck tbh
Maybe this new round of guest hosts will include the person Trebek himself suggested.
I never knew this. Thatās absurd that she never even got a chance last season, especially considering some of the people that did.

I still gonna stan for Brad. I think heād knock it out of the park. I am still perplexed that either he didnāt want to guest host or they didnāt want to let him. Makes no sense.

It should be Ken Buzzy or a non white man imo.
Buzzy was very mediocre, imo. So unnatural. But like I said with Mayim, give him some coaching and a 100+ episodes and heās perfectly fine.
One could not have handled this transition more poorly.
That he is not being fired as producer is pretty ominous for the show.itās not like the guy ran the show for ten years. He just got there.
Claire McNear [one of the reporters who seems most tapped in to the story] says on the pod that they had five days of shows filmed. Her story broke Wed, they went ahead and taped 5 episodes yesterday (including the premiere w/the returning champ), and then pulled the plug today (which sounds like it was supposed to be another day of shooting). Lol.
She wasnāt sure what would happen to the stuff they already filmed but she talked through a couple scenarios, including my personal favorite of keeping the game play, but reshooting the host portion and then editing it in.

If I had to guess, I think theyāll air the episodes with some sort of disclaimer at the top, but who knowsā¦
Plus it seems horrible to have a new host come in and work for the guy who was fired as the last host.
Untenable comes to mind.
this sounds like a terrible idea
just run it, everyone already knows the guy is out, trying to pull some soviet propaganda move and airbrush the guy out is worse
It would be super jarring and a terrible choice for their brand to have the big āfanfareā of him coming in and saying heās the new permanent host etc. Just shitcan the 5 episodes and pay the winners the money and start fresh.
the chatter at the front end can easily be edited down without ruining the integrity of the episodes. imagine if youāre the guy who beats matt during this period and nobody ever gets to see your game!
Or if Matt doesnāt get beat, then we all miss part of an epic run. Either way, just shelving the episodes is not a great solution.
If they kill the episodes, they should pay them and let them appear again. Which is doable of course, maybe just let the loser contestants play again once the current championās run finishes. But the fleeting fame and having relatives watch you on the teevee is worth a lot.
Read the whole piece by Mcnear. What a piece of shit.

Obviously you canāt shelf the episodes that were already recorded. Hell edit in Watson asking the questions if you have to
