fuck off jeopardy
joe buck 4 prez
Probably smart move - controversy creates ratings
Joe Buck probably wanted it less than Aaron Rogers. I don’t think settling on the both of them is too bad/controversial tbh, I prefer Ken but I guess some people prefer Mayim and she’s fine. Good to have an alternate in case you need one.
oh absolutely, aaron would have gotten the rona shot if he had to in order to land the job. joe buck hates nerds and would rather not be anywhere near them.
that’s precisely why joe buck is the right man for the job
Mayim sucks as a host. She only has the job because the producers of Jeopardy don’t trust Jennings enough to give him the full-time job.

she read a ken jennings “rake” joke clue with zero intonation. i like to imagine that behind the scenes she’s a shark and even though all the producers wanted to give the job to ken she crow-barred herself in. she’s probably spent hundreds of thousands on private detectives but ken literally has no vices so he’s impossible to blackmail, and this frustrates her and makes her want to take him down even more

Also, keeping Mayim avoid the whole SJW thing of “Oh Jeopardy hired a cis white heterosexual male for the job! Typical men!”
Hot take incoming:
The misogynist producer was the most competent host.
Related: If we’re talking about bad game show hosts, has there ever been a worse one that Pat Sajak. Smug, right-wing climate denier dickhead that mocks contestants.
His politics suck but he’s a solid host. I can’t knock his game show hosting. I watch wheel almost every day and if I had to deal with the morons on that show for 38 years I’d be a lot meaner
He’s passive-aggressive and does all of these little digs and needles at people the same way Ellen does where she finishes with a fake laugh, and the audience is really dumb and thinks it’s just a regular joke.
Trebek took digs at contestants from time to time. Probably needed to so he could stay sane.
He was an asshole that watched Fox News and donated to GOP candidates.
True. But Pat goes outside of normal hosting by nudging the witless contestants toward the right play when it’s their turn. He’ll be like, “you can spin OR solve here” when they’re reaching for the wheel on an obvious board in a vacation prize round. Which he doesn’t have to do, but he’s trying to help them win money which is nice of him. I don’t think I would go as far, if I were a game show host. I’d root for them, but I wouldn’t coach them during the game
Trebek or Sajak?
Trebek. Sajak is a Twitter climate denier snowflake that gets rattled by SJWs and virtue signalers. Wink Martindale was doing Trump rallies. Steve Harvey is a massive scumbag. Chuck Woolery is full-blown QAnon. Even Drew Carey supports GOP candidates.
That tracks. He definitely gave off that vibe. I preferred to just ignore it.
Yeah gotta go with Trebek in this spot
