Mayim Bialek should be the ONLY host of Jeopardy and it should be taped around HER schedule. Ken Jennings has shown he is a fake, insincere slimeball. He only cares about the Almighty Dollar, not about the contestants or anyone else. I, for one, am not interested in watching Jeopardy if everything is repeats headed by a man who has no respect for his fellow workers. Mayim Bialek has shown respect for all and makes an excellent hostess! Ken Jennings should be fired!!!!
I agree with Marcia Greenfield. Yes, the object is to meet a challenge that’s stressful, but Mayin.has the temperament to relax contestants. She brighter than Jenningsand I tune with each contestant stress level. She’s worth Jeopardy Numbers and a tribute to Alex..
Keep ken Jennings. I do not watch when she is on. Cannot stand the way she presents the questions. She is acting. Have never watched her on anything and will not.
I can’t watch when Mayims hosting. I’ve liked her in other shows ie Big Bang but think she’s not a good host. Love Ken and thinks he does a great job. Team Ken
I for one, and I’m sure many will agree with me, would be happy to see Ms. Bialik take the exit from hosting Jeopardy. She’s a fine person and an excellent actress, but as an emcee, she has much to be desired.
Mayim is a great actress but a terrible host. Ruins the show making it unwatchable. I am a huge fan of show, never missing an episode but I do not watch when she is the host.
I don’t understand the uproar of her hosting! Is it because she just might be smarter than half of the contestants? Or viewer? I like the personality she brings to the show. I have nothing against Ken other than he’s a tad dull…
I hope & pray that Mayim Bialik never returns to hosting jeopardy. Ken Jennings is awsome and is NOT a “scab.” He Jennings is “the greatest” player of Jeopardy and believe it was his Destiny to replace the Great Alex Trevek..Carol Hoffman Veteran&Volunteer. Burnsville,NC
Trebek, right? Oh wait! How do ya spell it? LOL (Just taking advantage of someone else’s typo. I definitely make more than my quota. Oh boy! Is that how ya spell quota?) 😂
Although I do like Mayim, Jennings is by far the better host. She just never seemed quite comfortable in the role. That said, she was very different when hosting a celebrity Jeopardy. Much different. Much more relaxed, it seemed. Maybe keep her there instead of bringing her back into mainstream Jeopardy?
Jeopardy fans need to find more important things in life than obsess over who is hosting. No one would ever be able to “replace” Trebek” sp stop comparing everyone to him. Jennings and Bialik both have their strong and week points. Enjoy the game and stop nit picking
I prefer Mayim over Ken!! She had more warmth that won me over!! I think Ken is too much an “Alex wanna be”. Maybe both can continue taking turns hosting to satisfy the different wishes of the TV audience!! Maximum is spunky, intelligent, and an absolute joy to watch on Jeopardy!!
Why are you a hater? Shame on you. If you cannot say anything kind, you should remain quiet and be thought a fool, then to speak out and remove all doubt..
Mayim is the best! It is areal joy to see such an accomplished woman hosting a show that has a serious take on TV game show. She is relaxed, quick witted and empathetic to the contestants.
I hope she returns in good health and is aware that people are watching her because her speech is perfect and I enjoy it very much. She has all intakes to reign.
Glad I don’t know the people who put negative remarks about Mayim Balek! They sound like such perfect individuals that they do not understand someone who actually has a personality!
Get rid of her! She is no emcee and or host. She is an actress not a host material. We never cared for her much. Her personality does not good for the show. If you need to add additional host, try again. Need to research much deeper for a good fit to the game.
I hope she never returns to the show – I cringed every time I saw that she was hosting and sometimes couldn’t watch. She was awkward and visibly uncomfortable with the role of host. Ken Jennings is a natural – relaxed, intelligent, quick and incredibly likeable and charming. He was, after all, Alex Trebek’s choice. That choice should be respected.
I hope she’s not leaving, I love her on jeopardy she brings a good balance especially her interaction with the players. Hope she stays strong and continue doing an awesome job.
Ken Jennings is an excellent host. I enjoy his comaraderie with the contestants and his sense of humor. In addition, having been a contestant, he has a history with the show and Alex Trebek.
I love Mayim. She is so warm and intelligent. Ken is too full of himself and comes off as rude to the contestants. Kick Ken off and keep the lovely Mayim. I find it difficult to watch Ken be the host.
I don’t understand the Mayim vitriol. I thought k she’s fantastic!!!! If she were the only host, I’d still be a Jeopardy fan. For those of you gushing over Ken’s Jeopardy standing, it’s amazing. Let’s not forget however, that Mayim—with her PhD in neuroscience—is no slouch when it comes to brains.
I love her!!! Please keep her. She is so smart and has so much talent. She is refreshing compared to other stuffed shirts!!! Please Please let her stay !!!
I prefer Mayim over Ken! She is so much better at hosting. Ken takes every opportunity, and then some, to pat himself on the back for winning Jeopardy. Then he has to tell about all of his other accomplishments, repeatedly. If viewers don’t know him by now, they just aren’t interested in him. Play the game, not give kudos to Ken. He can be so condescending to the players. So, for me, it’s Mayim who is the best host for Jeopardy.
Trebek, right? Oh wait! How do ya spell it? LOL (Just taking advantage of someone else’s typo. I definitely make more than my quota. Oh boy! Is that how ya spell quota?) 😂
If Mayim does not return we will no longer watch Jeopardy. Mayim is a better host. More entertaining. Ken should not have crossed the picket line. Plus Ken made a rude comment about someone in a wherlchair.
Gimme a break… Mayim didn’t “step down.” Mayim refused to cross the WGA picket lines & now SAG-AFTRA’s. She did right thing. She supported those who need new guidelines and salaries. WGA are not the highest paid and many only receive money sporadically. It all depends upon the script being selected. SAG-AFTRA is fighting for those actors that may have a brief appearance on or in a show – movie. Sorry. I agree with Mayim’s actions… don’t make it sound like she had to rethink her position or was being reviewed by the powers that be. I don’t mind Mayim. She’s learning. Ken Jennings is the one who annoys me. 1st – he crossed the picket lines. 2nd – he gets a bit pretentious for me. Anyway – Mayim did not step down. She stopped because she stood behind the unions. Go Mayim. Union Strong!
Don’t let Mayim come back. Ken is quick, witty and very good about pacing the show. Her slow responses drive me up the wall. If Ken ever goes, I go too.
Ken, perhaps because he’s been there, is so much more empathetic with the contestants. He understands what they are going through, understands their wagers on Daily Doubles, and is warmer. He should continue as the lead.
Neither is a good host. There should be one permanent host like possible Leave Button. Sharing the hosting mage me leave following the show in the first place. There will never be another Alex Trebeck, and these two together or alone will never fill his shoes.
Ken Jennings is so much better! I hope he is the only Jeopardy host. He is doing just what Alex did during the past strikes, staying loyal to the show. The criticisms of Ken are exaggerated & uncalled for. He has been excellent.

Robert Melheim
I like both hosts…They each contribute their own style and charm.

I don’t know why Mayim is such a negative for all of you. I
think she is just fine. I like Ken too.
M Booth
Don’t let Mayim come back. Ken is quick, witty and very good about pacing the show. Her slow responses drive me up the wall. If Ken ever goes, I go too.
George Jorel
Mayim should return to shilling for Neuriva. She’s a grossly inferior host to Ken.
Larry
Mayim seems like a genuine person. I prefer her to Ken.
Since I discovered her I have enjoyed some of her work on mental health and neuroscience. She is amazing
Joe M
Ken, perhaps because he’s been there, is so much more empathetic with the contestants. He understands what they are going through, understands their wagers on Daily Doubles, and is warmer. He should continue as the lead.
