Ahahahahaha.

Is Eraserheadā€™s streak still live?

Yes

Third longest streak ever now, he just passed Julia Collins yesterday.

Somehow he had all that time to get a decent haircut and managed not to.

Itā€™s insane that they donā€™t just give it to Ken. If it becomes clear he sucks at the job, get a new host next season or the season after that. Nobody wants what is happening right now, and nobody wanted to watch Dr Oz and Katie Couric host last season.

Jeopardy is supposed to be stable, comforting, routine. Every day you can turn off the news and the other awful shit and watch some dull wholesome trivia for 30 minutes.

I donā€™t disagree, and this seems to support selecting Levar Burton more than anyone else.

Iā€™m fine with that. I thought he was meh, but you canā€™t expect someone to be great at a job in their first week. Just pick someone and stick with them though.

Iā€™m reading this as them really wanting Mayim Bialik and giving it another year to let her other show get cancelled.

Matt almost broke a sweat there for like three minutes today

I was really gonna be mad if mike Richards outlasted Matt

Iā€™m your man, Steve Harvey. The top answers are on the board. Name a word you canā€™t say on TV.

Oz was a top 3 guest host, hate the guy, but he was damn good as a host. Joe Buck surprisingly was a top 1 host

The late Jack Buck is someone I would have liked to see host Jeopardy.

SAY GOODBYE TO THE MIKE RICHARDS ERA

Well, I can certainly accept trying it and not liking it as a good reason for why LeVar isnā€™t the guy.

It could be that.

Could be sour grapes also. I find it a bit hard to believe heā€™d have turned it down if offered it after the Richards debacle. But maybe he would have. I guess Iā€™ll take him at his word, but Iā€™m a bit skeptical.
