As a proud Canadian myself, so proud of her! Go Mattea!!! 🇨🇦

[officialSgtPepperArc]

Wait a minute:
"I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW COMPUTER OVERLORDS"

[RHTeebs]

Ken is such a great host. I say it all the time. But, it's true. He is a truly great host. I think Alex would be proud.

[virginiatemple]

So glad to have Ken back. Please keep him. He is the best!!

[Kmancanada]

PLEASE KEEP KEN JENNINGS AS PRIMARY HOST ! He's purpose-built for Jeopardy! . I thoroughly enjoy the episodes he is hosting.

[zachhoran]

Mattea congrats on making the TofC, well done my dear.

GOAT Game 3 Game 1 flashback, when Ken, James and Brad wrote their response even Alex started to read the clue especially the response was contained long names.

[captainhighbury]

Really glad to see Ken back. I hope no changes are made anymore.

[BlueManIan]

I didn't even know they could start writing before the host called "30 seconds"!

[drewjacksgranny]

The only man who can follow Alex is Ken!!

[cherylschliske]

Yes, keep Ken as host . He’s the best!

[pragmaticPaul]

welcome back Ken, now I can return as viewer

[jordanshepetofsky]

I, too, immediately knew the correct response to that Final Jeopardy clue!!! I knew it from this past season of "The Chase" on ABC.
Anybody else here see that episode?

[kennygrify]

I can just shout it from the rooftops, I'm so DAMN ELATED that Mattea won a fifth game and broke that four-game curse and I like Mattea, she is AWESOME!

[jordanshepetofsky]

For all you Jeopardy fans, who love Ken over Mayim, I had a thought: What if Brad Rutter hosted the show alongside Ken?
I, for one, would love to see Brad Rutter hosting Jeopardy, maybe a couple episodes of regular play, maybe the Tournament Of Champions. But I think he, too, is a great fit, alongside Ken. As a matter of fact, Brad has hosting experience, because he used to host his own trivia game show years back, didn't he?

Why did she risk a tie with her wager?

[jordanshepetofsky]

How come when Ken hosts Jeopardy, the games seem shorter than when Mayim Bialik hosts?
When Ken hosts, most often there's "Less than a minute to go" in the game, and in most games, the "end-of-the-round" noise goes off before all the categories are revealed; on the other hand, when Mayim hosts, in most games, there's enough time to reveal all the categories on the board. Maybe in 1 game or 2 games that "end-of-the-round" noise went off.

[kenr]

I agree, keep Ken Jennings. If he can't stay, get anyone BUT Mayim

[carolmartin]

Ken has the personality of a dead hamster. Keep MB in the mix!!!!
Alex can never be replaced by just one person, keeping two hosts honors Alex's legend!

[barclaysauers]

What bugs me are questions/clues concerning botanical (plant) names. Jeopardy answers usually have to be very precise, even exactly correct. This is never true when accepting 'common names' and not the true Linnaeus's Latin or Greek names. Just getting that off my chest finally!
