I miss her so much. She was so lovely and nice and had a happy personality. Jennings is so dry and uninteresting. I think you should change him and if you do not bring back Mayim Bialik you should change Jennings also. If you don’t make some changes people will stop watching and that would be a shame. Do some leg work and get new people
Plez get rid of that dry uninteresting boeing body on the show. At least the interesting warm lady was ßure a lot of people’s choice
Better looking also
I’m so happy she’s gone. Couldn’t stand looking at her, much less hearing her voice . I only recorded the show when Ken was hosting. I hope he stays forever.
You can get a point across without slamming Mayim. Wow people ARE terrible. Didn’t your Mom ever tell you if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything?
Glad to hear that only Ken Jennings will be hosting Jeopardy! Do not bring Mayim back EVER! She was not a good fit for the show! Alex hosted the show by himself & so can Ken!
Yes I’d love Ken I didn’t really care for her Ken Keisha show interested and I think a lot of people will watch Jeopardy especially after Alex has passed God bless him he was the best and if anyone can take his place it’s going to be Ken Jennings
Respectfully disagree. I agree with Alex Trebek that the host should be low key and that game itself and contestants be the focus. Ken does a great job and is not irritating. He has earned his position.
I respectfully disagree.
She was slow, and the show dragged with her. Mr. Jennings keeps the show moving and I’m surprised to compare and observe. I’ll watch with Ken Jennings. With Ms Bialak I grew bored and would turn off the show.
Having Ken Jennings as the permanent host is a good decision.
Unfortunately she took up to much commenting after every incorrect answer Ñ they seldom finished a round because of it ! Other then that I thought was A Good Person.
I love Mayim.She smiles, laughs and does not b elutttle contestants when they are wrong.
I am not sure I like the change to Ken as I find him condescending.
As Alex stated: it’s about the contestants not about the host. Host should not try to make show about them (which actors/actresses naturally do). One reason I disliked many that tried out. Good people but not for hosting Jeopardy).
I find ken irratating….he is hard to watch as the host. ..like Mayim because she seemed peppy and full of energy she made the show worth watching …if you get rid of Mayim replace ken too with someone who is less irritating and stiff
If you have really watched Ken Jennings (I watch every evening without fail), you’ll find him to be warm, friendly, easy laugher, and very intelligent. Moves the game right along injecting his wit when appropriate.
For me personally I will not be watching the show in the future.
There are plenty of shows to watch on other stations. It’s to bad the the entertainment industry thinks they have people in a strangle on what we watch.
I enjoy both host. Ken is fun to watch, has personality and can get along with the contestants. He is very quick on the draw as far as confirmating answeres from players. The game moves briskly. Mayim is also fun to watch, has a great personality but is too slow to confirm questions (answers) from the players so that mistakes that are not necessary can
be made. I will still miss her.
Ken is the best person to follow Alex as host. He knew Alex and worked with him. His hosting style is very similar. Bialik was a disaster for the show.
She is supposedly an actress not an MC. She does a terrible job. It’s not an acting job it’s a job for an MC. Hello when are you people going to get that
Thank you Roslyn Kessler. I concur 100%. I couldn’t have said it better. They have made a mistake. It seems punitive towards Mayim Balik for supporting the strikes and since Jennings is fine with doing the show even with recycled material he gets the job. I will not be watching until they make better decisions.
“You people”? When are we going to get it right? Sue, I got this one right. You are condescending to others who don’t share your viewpoint on the selection of a game show host. Disturbing.
I like Ken and Mayim.
I liked Alex too. What I like is the show. All this bickering pushed me to quit watching. I don’t like the repeated questions of the past. btw Mayim is just as smart as Ken. Why argue about the trivial.
WTH was she even doing on the show? Actress? What qualifies her to be a host of this hugely popular game show. I’m not a Jennings fan either but he’ll do until someone with class like Alex replaces him.
Plenty of other place to watch Mayim. Ken is perfect for Jeopardy. I’d stop watching if not for him. He’s the only one who makes the show feel the same after Alex.
Totally agree. Mayim is a good actress but as a Jeopardy host, not so much. Actually, she was terrible. I stopped watching when it was her turn to host. Ken otoh, is perfect. I find him completely delightful and perfect for the job.
I like Ken and Mayim.
I liked Alex too. What I like is the show. All this bickering pushed me to quit watching. I don’t like the repeated questions of the past. btw Mayim is just as smart as Ken. Why argue about the trivial.
I agree Ken Jennings is a bore. Dry no personality.
I wonder how many times this geeky nerd got shoved into his locker at school.
Bring Mayim back !! Quirky perhaps but most certainly not a bore !!!
Your opinion is of course your choice however the overwhelming majority of viewers spoke so highly of Jennings ability that they went with him. I must say I agree with their choice! Love the show once again!
While I like Jennjnfs more than I used yo I think it was refreshing to have the hints changing up ftom time to time.
I think Bialik added some colour and life to the show.
I will definitely miss her.
I agree 100%. I love Mayim”s upbeat attitude & how much fun she seem to having.
Ken is a lackluster, full of himself host.
Look for another choice if Mayim doesn’t want to come back.
Since Ken will be the only host, I will no longer watch my favorite show. I have never liked Ken he acts conceited and a know it all. Mayim was friendly with everyone, smiling and courtesy to all.
I have watch Jeopardy since day one when the new season starts will be my last day to watch.
I’ve never been impressed with Ken Jennings ! He could not hold Alex’s jockstrap ! His educational and professional background can never compare to Mayim’s superb resume ! And sad to say he’s a scab ! I used to have 450 people working for my own company and I always encourage them to be organized ! And what helped me get through college is I was a member of teamsters 107 loading and driving trucks ! Peace 🕊️ Out, Jim Dwyer aka 100%IrishRaginCa-jun🍀⚜️💚!
He’s not a scab, since Jeopardy was not included within the shows the union was striking against. Mayim was not part of the strike; rather, her refusal to work was “in solidarity with” those who were striking.
You may think what Ken did is not admirable or is anti-union, but it’s not scabbing.
Thank you Roslyn Kessler. I concur 100%. I couldn’t have said it better. They have made a mistake. It seems punitive towards Mayim Balik for supporting the strikes and since Jennings is fine with doing the show even with recycled material he gets the job. I will not be watching until they make better decisions.
I’ ve liked Mayim since she played Blossom, but I couldn’t watch her host Jeopardy. She seemed a little awkward, albeit, I’m sure her personality is awesome having watched some interviews with her and Jennings, she seems nice, but I don’t feel that rolled over too well while in that particular position. 🙏
Are you kidding! She’s awful!! And Ken is spot on. Waiting for her to check the responses is past irritating. Ken wasn’t very good on his initial audition, but now he’s nailed it. And the contestants are visibly excited to be on the same stage as Ken!
Have loved Mayim since Beaches. Do not love her on Jeopardy. She does not seem comfortable in that role. Wishing her new and exciting things for her future. So very glad Jennings will be the host.
I disagree completely. Ken Jennings is who makes Jeopardy worth watching. He is so kind and exceptional in knowledge. Please keep Ken as the host of Jeopardy!
I didn’t find her a good fit at all. Her chats w/ the contestants were rote and phony. I think she’s a good actress but I don’t think she is suited to be a host.
Absolutely agree, bring her back. Dumo the Know it All Ken. He always has to add in his Two Cents on everyone’s answer or comment. It’s Jeopardy NOT th Ken Jennings Show..at least show her on the reruns..
I think Ken Jennings is the ideal host for Jeopardy. His manner, personality, connection to the players, refinement all contribute to his being the consummate host. Alex would most certainly laud him.
Mayim Bialik was a problematic host for me. She seemed to behave as though she was the show. I found this tendency highly distasteful. I will not miss her.
I did not like her.
She was the worst host ever.
I did not like her gestures on stage. When she was hosting I will turn to channel. Happy to see her gone
Everyone has comments she was okay. But l prefer Ken, but overall l preferred the quarterback Aaron Roger’s maybe it’s time to try him again since he is out of the game for a season at. He’s my choice. Plus good to look at.
Mayim is a great host for jeopardy. Why is she being booted from the show? Love watching her.She probably knows the answers without the answer cards. She has a wonderful personality.
I totally agree!! She was a breath of fresh air to this show. Great personality, too. I think she did well handing the questions. We’re all human folks!
I did not enjoy watching Jeopardy when Ms. Bialik was hosting. The pause between the contestant providing the question and Ms. Bialik confirming answer was very annoying.
Also her responses were to animated.
I agree with Roslyn Kessler.
Bring back Mayim. She’s bubblably, she gets excited for the contestants. Ken does have a dry personality and down right makes Jeopardy boring. His voice alone is irritating.
Glad they finally decided on one host and even happier it was Ken Jennings they decided on. Who better to take over for the great Alex Trebec than the GOAT contestant, Ken.
Mayim Bialik on occasion gave the answer, or completed the answer, for contestando. If the answer was “pink cars” and the contestant answered “cars” she would say “that’s right, pink cars”. Also took too long to say if the answers were correct. Glad to see her go.
She was difficult to watch. Between her swaying and terrible timing telling contestants if they’re right, she was obnoxious. She had the answers in front of her so why cause the contestants added anxiety. I’m so happy she’s forever gone. I love Ken. He’s a natural.
I agree We loved Mayim. She put herself into the show and cared about the contestants. Just like Bob Barker on the Price is right. It’s ok to have a different image and be yourself. Will miss her
Realy thats how bad that show is bevoming because one person brlieves in morals and the other one doesnt .this show is gonna lose because my gamily wont watch ot anymore.because ot shows they dont care about people all there worried about is money and ratings goodbye lost again see how many more will say no to jeopardy
Jeopardy has been an obsession with me for years. I so dislike Ken Jennings. He is dull, full of himself, and a real bore. I don’t enjoy the show now, which makes me sad.
I think both hosts have brought their own strengths and challenges. Some fans have attacked Mayim unfairly, constantly, and without any mercy. And I sometimes wonder if Ken assisted. Kicking Mayim out at this point is a bad move. Be ashamed-/why it almost looks like misogyny!
She was great for the show, Alex is gone, may he RIP. We don’t need a robot who posed like him or tallike him. him. She at least made the show exciting, and was crucified because she didn’t say things the way way Alex did. Jennings should be kicked off too
I am very happy to know that Ken Jennings will be the solo host. He does a great job. He understands the game so well. I think he also has a natural rapport with contestants having been in their shoes..
I strongly dislike Ken he thinks to highly of himself. He gives off the air how great he is and how he can do no wrong. I won’t watch anymore, he certainly not even close to a good host. Mayim the right choice by far. If she will come back.
This is again an example of the eternal glass ceiling and union busting on top of it. Mayim Biallic is charming funnyband extremely bright. By picking Ken Jennings you have assigned yourself to a member of the good old Boys club. Bring her back. Ken Jennings is just another boring good old boy. We will not be watching Jeopardy otherwise.
I’m glad she won’t be hosting Jeopardy anymore. Her interactions with the contestants was stiff and the momentary hesitation before declaring an answer right or wrong drove me nuts. Ken Jennings thinks fast on his feet and his back and forth with the contestants is smooth and amusing.
I agree with everyone who says that Mayim is not the one who should be hosting. Ken Jennings reminds me a lot of Alex. He’s poised, intelligent and has a great sense of when to speak up and when not to. She doesn’t. She’s a terrible actress and an even worse host.
You made the right decision to have Ken as the one and only host. He delivery and rapport with contestants cannot be matched. Mayim was a mistake from the beginning, and was unwatchable. So thank you Jeopardy for finally realizing it.
I liked Mayim on Jeopardy! She was warm, personable, smart, and HUMAN. I find Ken to be a bit smug and arrogant, something Alex never was. But Mayim may have lucked out, as the show seems to be deteriorating in both format and question quality. I used to love Jeopardy; never missed it. Now I watch if it’s convenient. Ho-hum.
Thank God! I like her fine as an actress, but she was horrible on Jeopardy. Her whole cadence, often looking confused, the delay between the correct answer and her ruling it correct, and her almost giddy sing songy voice and reaction when someone finds the daily double. Unwatchable!
Mayam always did a wonderful job when hosting both regular shows & specials. Her professionalism & intelligence always came shining through. Also having a female host was a fresh approach to an aging show.
I love Mayim she’s so pretty an I love her smile.. she’s so much better then Jennings.. if you do away with her your ratings will be hurting…I know I won’t be watching it.. She’s funny an an a delight to see her there everyday. So please keep her smiling face there.. Always look forward in seeing her. She’s a delight..Thank you…
The whole multiple hosts experiment was a bad idea in the first place. Ken was the heir apparent and they should have just gone with him. While I preferred Ken to Mayim, I didn’t hate her like so many seemed to. I just hope they settle the strikes so we can get back to business.
I can agree with this. I like Ken as the main host because he played the game well and still holds the record for most wins. Not only this, he loves the show like Alex did. He also was great friends with Alex and showed true emotion for when Alex passed. That’s why I think Ken should be the main host.
That totally sucks!!! She was the only good thing on the show!!! Ken J is so boring and is trying to much!!!
You’ve lost 2 viewers and I bet you will lose many, many more!!
I’m happy with Ken Jenni gs. There will never be another Alex Trebec but Mayim was awkward, paused too long to confirm accuracy of the questions, and in general did not have the poise I’d like to see as a host.
I have never cared for her as a Jeopardy host, so I’m glad she’s out. Ken, even with some glitches, is okay. But, I was really hoping they would pick Buzzy Cohen. Or stuck with their first choice.
(I can’t recall his name – the show producer.)
I DIDN’T ALWAYS LIKE KEN JENNINGS. HE CAME ACROSS AS “COCKY”! HOWEVER, KEN HAS MELLOWED AND I BELIEVE WANTS TO HONOR ALEX AND CONTINUE THE SHOW AS BEST HE CAN IN CARRYING ON THE SHOW AS I BELIEVE ALEX WOULD HAVE WANTED! NOW, I LOVE KEN JENNINGS! HE KNOWS THE SHOW AND IS A PRO IN GIVING THE QUESTIONS AND RESPONDING! I’M FINE THE WAY IT IS! THANK YOU FOR FINALLY MAKING A DECISION AND PROVIDING A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR THE SHOW TO MOVE FORWARD!!
I just love Ken Jennings. His knowledge & love for the game makes the show so much more enjoyable. I am so happy that the sow is continuing despite the strike. Recycled questions don’t bother me ~ I don’t remember any of them anyway. It’s a great idea!
I do not watch Jeopardy unless Mayim is hosting. She’s very articulate and gorgeous to look at. If there’s no Mayim, I can find other interesting things to view.
Ken, please. Keep Ken only as Host of Jeopardy. He is kind to the contestants. He has the ability to joke with them, has perfect timing, has a vast knowledge bank that makes him able to respond intelligently (without always just saying yes or no to the contestants answers), and communicates so well during the contestants interviews. I am sorry, but Mayim’s always responding by saying something likes “that’s wonderful” gets old. Ken is the perfect host of Jeopardy. PERIOD!
Love Ken Jennings, was hoping he would become the only permanent host. Had a hard time watching Mayim Bialik, was never a fan. Have been watching Jeprody since 70,s.
Ken is Boring, will not watch Jeopardy anymore. Have watched the show since my Teens, I’m now 77 no more Jeopardy for me, Ken has no Personality. I liked him when he was a Contestant but not as the Host. Will not watch Wheel of Fortune, too much Seacrest
I love both Ken and Mayim!! I would like to see both of them once the strke is over.
It seems a bit odd that the show can legally fire Mayim when she was out only due to the strike, unless she voluntarily quit. If she did get fired on the basis that she didn’t want to be a scab, that just simply doesn’t seem legal.
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT FREAK SHOW BACK IN IT’S BOX!!!
Mayim Bialik is one of the oddest freaks on this planet. SHAME ON YOU for exposing that mess to a FAR wider viewing audience than IT was ever able to attract with iT’S own “work”.
GOOGLE IT!!
As for Ken Jennings, he has proven EVERY DAY THAT HE HOSTS JEOPARDY, that he is DUMBER THAN A FIRST GRADER.
That little pin-head ACTS like he is so well educated, yet his SPEAKING proves how STUPID he truly is.
Jeopardy had several DECENT, and at least MODERATELY WELL EDUCATED personalities that could have, and undoubtedly WOULD have done a FAR better job hosting the show, than the two clowns that the show’s producers chose to destroy it.
My opinion is very easy….. If she is not there neither will I be. She’s brilliant and well-loved and extremely good with the contestants…. Having both of them is an excellent choice but if she’s gone I don’t even know if I could watch it ever again. That would be a shame since I have been watching it for many many years.
Bring her back! She was a refreshing change from Jennings, who can sometimes be uppity and condescending. At least she has a personality and a sense of humor!
Mr Davies, Thank you for respecting your fans and viewers by announcing Ken Jennings as the permanent and solo host of Jeopardy!
You couldn’t have made a better choice!
I love Ken Jennings as permanent host! He keeps the show professional and engaging. He doesn’t promote himself, but he is a great advocate for the show. Best move ever to make Ken Jennings permanent host!!
Ken Jennings is the only host that makes since. After all the gaffs that Mayim committed, I stopped watching the show whenever she hosted it. At last they have made the right decision to go with Alex Trebeck’s choice for his successor
I enjoyed having her as the backup host. Ken will get burned out then we won’t have a host. You really need to rethink this decision. If not Mayim then find someone else.
How very disappointing. I really enjoyed it when Mayim Bialik hosted the show. She comes across as very lovely, kind, and personable; despite being a straight up genius! Ken Jennings comes off rather wooden and lacking in personality; often looking very uncomfortable during the host/contestant chat portion of the show.
Nothing against her, but she was not a good fit for Jeopardy. It was clear her hesitation after contestants gave their answers drove them and me crazy. She did not have a good rhythm hosting. I think Alex would have wanted Ken.
It is wholly unfortunate that both Jennings and Bialik will no longer be co-hosts.
I don’t understand why Jennings and Bialik can’t divide and conquer the Jeopardy spin-offs for Bialik and our beloved Jeopardy for Jennings.
I don’t understand why Jennings and Bialik will no longer be allowed to co-host. Leave our beloved Jeopardy show with Jennings, and have Bialik host the spin-offs like Celebrity Jeopardy.
That being said, as a member of SAG-AFTRA, she had to make her choice by standing with the WGA’s strike.
Rerunning prior questions is lazy and a sad attempt to circumnavigate the strike.
Good bye and good riddance. Ken Jennings is head and shoulders so much better than her. He has improved so much since he took over for Alex. He handled the recent tournament of champions superb….
Thank god! This was not a good fit for her. She is not suited for an unscripted venture. She does not ad lib well and is clearly uncomfortable doing so.
Great news. She didn’t portray a professional attitude, and ignored many of the rules about how to answer, especially when Matt Amotti would always use WHAT is (persons name). Now I will start watching Jeopardy again.
When the contestant give the last name,he says yes,and give the first name,the contestant said who is fox,ken said yes who is jamie fox,the question pertained to a movie,the answer could have been Michael j fox or Vivica Fox,he is giving the clues away
I love Mayim. I love Ken too. I hope they bring her back. I liked seeing them switch it up a bit. So many people really said some nasty things about her…just rude. If they think they can do better, maybe they should apply. Please bring her back after the strike is over.
I won’t miss her a bit.
She tried to hard and came off as disingenuous.
Besides, how annoying was it that on the preeminent quiz show, the host couldn’t even pronounce a simple wonder like singer. It is sing-er, NOT sing-ger!
Jennings is a perfect host for Jeopardy. If Mayim is reinstated I will no longer watch the show. She draws too much attention to herself whereas Jennings just gets on with business.
Thank goodness they got rid of her hopefully forever. She is totally unprofessional and had no personality. Jeopardy is my favorite game show, but I refuse to watch it when she was hosting. I’m delighted that Ken Jennings will be permanent!!
I hope Ken continues as host. Nothing personal toward Mayim, but she messed up too much and it took her a few seconds to tell the contestant if they were correct. Ken does an excellent job. I have always loved Jeopardy.
Great call!!!! Ken is professional yet has personality with out being short with the players. He creates a natural flow to the game, which she severely lacks.
Dunno what this other person’s talkn about. Ken Jennings is fantastic and tons of people were clamoring for Mayim to exit. Ken embodies Jeopardy and I think he’s the right and only choice.
Yes I think she should be out forever. I could care less one way or the other about Ken, I don’t have a problem with him, but if it were up to me I would choose James! He is so personable. I really miss Alex and no matter who you pick he will never ever be replaceable!!!!
Now I suppose all of those hateful viewers who made so many nasty, rude and disgusting comments about Mayem are happy she will no longer be hosting. We are now left with only Jennings, who is not by a long shot a good replacement for Alex Trebek. It’s a game show, folks. One half hour a day. There was no need for the ugly comments made about Mayem. Enjoy, haters. Your wish came true, but at the cost of the feelings of a genuinely good person.
Mayim is condescending and the way she hesitates after each answer from a contestant is very annoying. Ken is personable and engaged with the contestants. I love Jeopardy but I find myself not watching when Mayim hosts.
She should never have been a host on jeopardy in the first place. I never watched when she hosted. She was one of the worst hosts that I’ve ever seen. She’s fine on her sitcom, but she’s just not for jeopardy. I hate to be so blunt, but I’ve read many of the comments over the past few years and Ken Jennings fits more of the Alex Tribec profile. I think that Alex would be very happy with this choice
Mayim runs circles around Jennings. He is pathetic and has NO personality and lisps but you guy don’t care because he is a man. Do you think people who watch the show don’t know the real story. Jennings is an ass kisser. I’m done with your pathetic excuses and will NEVER WATCH YOU CLOWNS SCREW UP THE SHOW AGAIN. GOOD BYE.
Your personal attacks are quite unfortunate. You call a man of unmatched intellect who also has humility and genuineness “pathetic”? We must be careful to point fingers. It’s probably time to “slide the mirror” because that fingerpointing is headed right back in your direction, Carol. I try to remember that concept anytime I realize I’m criticizing someone, even in my heart. Focus on love, not hate/vitriol.
WTH was she even doing on the show? Actress? What qualifies her to be a host of this hugely popular game show. I’m not a Jennings fan either but he’ll do until someone with class like Alex replaces him.
I think Ken is conceited and he constantly refers to his record streak. He makes snide remarks, but that is apparently what the majority of fans want. The show and fans seem that the fans are secondary or window dressing for the hisy.
I really want Mayim back. For me, Ken tries to add too much of his personality to the show with his added side comments and his tendency to influence wagers by his statements. It’s just not about him and how smart he is. Mayim’s demeanor works better for me, even with her pauses.
It’s the right call. Ken Jennings is a natural. He handles the game play so well and has appealing wit, a trait that’s quite unusual for a savant. Roslyn, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re among a very small minority. Jeopardy is blessed to have Ken as the sole permanent host.
Yay! I am so very happy to hear this piece of good news! Ken Jennings is a much better fit for the show, he’s a natural. She came across as stiff and awkward, and very much out of place. Not at all natural and at ease like Ken. She was stiff and seemed too rehearsed. I am sure she will land on her feet somewhere out there, just not at Jeopardy. He is much more likable for the hosting duties! I am happy the show made the correct choice! Congrats Ken Jennings on your BIG WIN! I really look forward to the new season with Ken hosting. Congrats to all you future winners out there!
I happen to like Mayim a great deal. She is charming, witty and genuine. Whereas Ken is smart, he likes to show off, is rather snarky at times, and sometimes seems devoid of a personality. If he can be given a chance, so should she. Balance each other
I liked both hosts but thought Mayim did a better job interviewing the contestants. She was warmer and appeared more interested in them. I was disappointed to see all of the negative comments about her.
I loved her performance on the show. I respect her integrity and her intellect. I also appreciate very much the inclusion of women in this genre of tv programming as more than “spokesmodels.”
She will be missed. When the strike settles she should be brought back and/or other bright competent women should be sought out for hosting.
I’m happy that Bialik is gone as a host of Jeopardy. I stopped watching the show whenever she was hosting so now I can continue watching all the shows as I had for the past many years. Thank you for making this decision. GOAT is the perfect host to follow in Alex Trebek’s footsteps.
I think she is a good actress I’ve enjoyed her over the years however that’s how she comes off as an actor playing the part of a game show host which isn’t really all that easy it’s very difficult to be relaxed she is smart in her field but not generally Jennings is charming he’s witty I think he’s an excellent host I think Alex would have chosen him himself if he was still with us I think that he’s proven himself so much she made me so nervous before she’d say if somebody was right or wrong that I stopped watching the show during the time she was hosting I’m sorry but she’ll have a great career somewhere else thank you for listening
My family and I are not fans of Bialik, so this means we’re likely to watch more this season with Jennings at the helm. I understand it is personal preference with regard to hosting style, but I appreciate Jennings sense of humor and professionalism.
I’m happy with Ken doing aole hosting duties. It was disruptive switching hosts on the regular Jeopardy and she didn’t have a good rhythm to keep the show going. She takes too long to decide if it’s a correct answer and has made many mistakes on her decisions. I think Ken is very enjoyable to watch!
I am a long time fan who WILL QUIT WATCHING! I really like Ms. Bialik and thought sh was much more engaging as host! Mr. Jenning’s personality just seems so stiff and dry! This news is a major disappointment!
I like Mayim Bialik and respect her decision. I do not support the show recycling old material so it may be bye bye Jeopardy. I like Ken but not sure solid Ken with no Mayim will work for this life long Jeopardy watcher.
Thank God! She was an absolute train wreck. Overall, I couldn’t stand her attitude of thinking she was the most intelligent person on the stage. I never watched the show whenever she hosted.
Thank you for for finally getting it right Ken is the much better host Mayim is a terrific actress and I love her but a game show host she is not I hated the episode but her hosting
I will really miss her. She has a serious intellect and still she was fun and pretty too. She will land on her feet. They are just trying to make an example of her for being aligned with the workers. They will (or should) come back to her when the strikes are settled. Even if they don’t she will get another gig for being a person with backbone.
Mayim Is a superb, talented person and would be wasting her talent reading your questions . She was the only reason I popped in to watch your boring show! She is amazing and I’m sure she will do way better things . Using the words “getting rid of” is so rude . Blossom doesn’t deserve that they were lucky to have her ! I will never bother learn the new guys name . You deserve him .
I thought Mayim Bialik was excellent. Ken Jennings works very hard and he’s very bright and his timing is good. But I agree that unfortunately he’s very dry and boring. It’s a difficult job. For whatever reasons, I am very sorry not to view Jeopardy with Mayim Bialik as the host. Her energy and personality were an asset to this legendary and popular show. And of course we all miss Alex Trebek.
I personally found her very condescending and arrogant in her having to always make sure the contestants knew how much smarter she thought she was. Appeared very phony and didn’t seem to really care when asking the contestants about their personal life
No. Just Ken as host.
Mayim is a great sitcom actor. Being a Jeopardy host is not her forte. I did like her in auditions, however she does not fit behind that podium where Ken excels.
She has not failed. It’s just not her gig.
I liked Ken Jennings as a contestant. Liked him as a cohost. Favor him as solo host. I’m pretty made up on the issue. What do I know. I’m only the viewer here. Peace. Shalom.
Very glad she is going to be gone! It was grueling to have to watch her affectations. There was always that annoying pause before she could let the contestant know if he was correct or not.
Jeopardy has finally got it right. Ken is perfect for the job. He should have the sole replacement from the beginning. A victim of committee decision making.
I love Maiyin Bialic. Although she was a little slow in affirming or disaffirming an answer, I liked the way she carried herself. She’s funny and so real. I wish she was back. Many will miss her.
Great! Never watching a SCAB or a show that doesn’t respect Unions in the face of simply making money, again. Those haters who have an issue with a smart, funny woman . . . ? You’re misogynists and haters. Keep on hating trolls.
MAYIM seems nice enough, certainly bright and attractive, but she has a little hitch in her giddyup and it is off-putting. Ken does a great job and certainly has the credentials
She was a terrible host. I’m glad she’s gone. No sense of humor and it took her so long to say an answer was correct or wrong. Thank God for Ken Jennings.
I don’t really care for ken something about him I the that mayim did a better job Alex T always kept a low key I know she had a few errors but maybe a little time would take care of yhat
I’m perfectly fine with her being gone! I like Ken & think he deserves the right to be the only host. As to using old questions, no problem! Those who complain probably still couldn’t answer them. I know I can’t remember them! Good luck, Ken!
Well that does it… I’m done with jeopardy for good!! Mayim was great.. sick of Ken’s ego and insertion of himself into every aspect…(cut first person out of his vocabulary and he couldn’t talk) recycled questions? Just run reruns. After YEARS as a faithful watcher… I’m DONE
While I like Jennjnfs more than I used yo I think it was refreshing to have the hints changing up ftom time to time.
I think Bialik added some colour and life to the show.
I will definitely miss her.
Mayim is horrible. Her forced laugh at things that are not funny is very annoying, she does it for almost every question. She is to slow reading the answers and responding correct or incorrect, her games almost never finish the board in single and double Jeopardy.
Finally, this has been a rough ride. She has too much baggage and does not have a good fit with personality or dedication. When she is hosting, we turn the TV off.
Watch the first episode of Jeopardy with Trebek as host on YouTube. You’ll see that it takes time and practice to become the perfect host of Jeopardy. Although I disliked Mayim’s hosting, I believe she needed a few more years hosting and she would have got there eventually. Jennings is just better at staying low key. I watch Jeopardy for the questions not the personalities. The host should not detract from the gameplay. Bialik detracts, Jennings doesn’t.
I adore her. I’m so sorry she’s gone. I thought she was a very good host. Ken is growing on me, but I prefer Mayim. Alex left very big shoes to fill and I think they’ve both done a very good job.
I don’t understand why people are condemning Ken for continuing the show. He is an author and game show host, not an actor, past or present, as Mayim is. He is extremely intelligent and I like his personality, repour with the contestants, and his quick thinking. KEN was Alex’s choice.
I now can watch Jeopardy all the time. I never watched when the other host was on. Don’t want to say her name. Ken is like Alex personified. Yeah!!!!!!
I have missed Mayim from the day that she was not on the show any longer. I think she has a lovely personality and has a great way of making people feel comfortable. Her comments were always upbeat and positive and made the show very enjoyable. Ken Jennings is a good MC but I just prefer the bubblier personality of Mayim and I really am going to miss her.
I like Ken as the main host because he played the game well and still holds the record for most wins. Not only this, he loves the show like Alex did. He also was great friends with Alex and showed true emotion for when Alex passed. That’s why I think Ken should be the main host.
I’d rather have Ken Jennings any day of the week I didn’t really care for the girl that was hosting I like Ken Jennings cuz he keep it interesting he talks to the contestants and he was the right pick for Jeopardy at the Alex
Mayim brought so much to Jeopardy!
She was professional yet witty & was at ease. Ken Jennings is arrogant & stiff. How could this all happen? Is it because she is female? After Jeopardy being my favorite show for years. I will no longer be watching & will let the sponsors know this as well
I am so relieved that she’s gone. She made mistakes that cost contestants points and even one win, and was too smug to admit it and be corrected. It I sn’t gender discrimination if she can’t do the job.
I personally wanted Levar Burton, but Jennings is excellent and he gets better and better. He is warmer than she was and he’s skilled at accepting correct answers that may differ from the scripted ones, something she didn’t have the imagination or knowledge to do. I’m back watching again!
Ken Jennings is a pompous stiff. It is obvious that the producers have worked with him to get him to loosen up ( I notice he no longer puts his finger tips together while pontificating) but he remains a stiff. He’s just not a naturally comfortable guy and will likely never be. Your old producer was but I understand that ship has sailed. Try to find that person.
Ken was a little stiff in the beginning. He has grown more comfortable as the host, and I like his occasional snarky comments, as he may be one of the few who has the credit to do so–and it’s funny! He’s not being mean–just trying to be entertaining. I like him SOOOO much more than Mayim. I wouldn’t never watch when she was host. Couldn’t stand her schtick. Good decision to stick with Ken.
Ken, pleeeeeease! He is charming, witty, humble, empathetic and brilliant!! He seems to know all the answers before the contestants do and Mayim seems to be searching for the answers, hence the pause between answers and confirmation. Plus Ken was Alex’s choice and I defer to him!
Comments for Permanent ‘Jeopardy’ Host Announced, Mayim Bialik Officially Out
Roslyn Kessler
I miss her so much. She was so lovely and nice and had a happy personality. Jennings is so dry and uninteresting. I think you should change him and if you do not bring back Mayim Bialik you should change Jennings also. If you don’t make some changes people will stop watching and that would be a shame. Do some leg work and get new people
Judy
Glad she is gone. No sense of humor. No chemistry with guests. Love Ken
Arnòld
Plez get rid of that dry uninteresting boeing body on the show. At least the interesting warm lady was ßure a lot of people’s choice
Better looking also
Kate Carriere
I agree. Ken Jennings is a classy guy yet down to earth. A great balance of a real champion and the guy next door.
Tangobell
I’m so happy she’s gone. Couldn’t stand looking at her, much less hearing her voice . I only recorded the show when Ken was hosting. I hope he stays forever.
Jane
I like Ken Jennings. Give him time to hone his skills. I’m sure Alex wasn’t perfect when he started years ago. Alex liked Ken too! Bye bye Mayim!
Chris
You can get a point across without slamming Mayim. Wow people ARE terrible. Didn’t your Mom ever tell you if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything?
Sharon S.
Glad to hear that only Ken Jennings will be hosting Jeopardy! Do not bring Mayim back EVER! She was not a good fit for the show! Alex hosted the show by himself & so can Ken!
Roxanne
Yes I’d love Ken I didn’t really care for her Ken Keisha show interested and I think a lot of people will watch Jeopardy especially after Alex has passed God bless him he was the best and if anyone can take his place it’s going to be Ken Jennings
Becky
Mayim was never a good fit for Jeopardy. Just let Ken be the only host.
ALB
Respectfully disagree. I agree with Alex Trebek that the host should be low key and that game itself and contestants be the focus. Ken does a great job and is not irritating. He has earned his position.
Linda Fuller
Please, please bring Mayim Bialek back!! She has so much more fun personality than Ken Jennings. We love her!!”
CB
I like Mayim and am sad to hear she is not coming back. I feel it made the show more interesting to have both Mayim and Ken hosting.
PB
I respectfully disagree.
She was slow, and the show dragged with her. Mr. Jennings keeps the show moving and I’m surprised to compare and observe. I’ll watch with Ken Jennings. With Ms Bialak I grew bored and would turn off the show.
Having Ken Jennings as the permanent host is a good decision.
James
Unfortunately she took up to much commenting after every incorrect answer Ñ they seldom finished a round because of it ! Other then that I thought was A Good Person.
DONNA
I love Mayim.She smiles, laughs and does not b elutttle contestants when they are wrong.
I am not sure I like the change to Ken as I find him condescending.
Linda Baku
I hope to never see MB back on the show. She was horrible.
Bill
As Alex stated: it’s about the contestants not about the host. Host should not try to make show about them (which actors/actresses naturally do). One reason I disliked many that tried out. Good people but not for hosting Jeopardy).
Kimberly Martin
I find ken irratating….he is hard to watch as the host. ..like Mayim because she seemed peppy and full of energy she made the show worth watching …if you get rid of Mayim replace ken too with someone who is less irritating and stiff
Kate Carriere
If you have really watched Ken Jennings (I watch every evening without fail), you’ll find him to be warm, friendly, easy laugher, and very intelligent. Moves the game right along injecting his wit when appropriate.
Elaine
I am so happy that Ken is hosting full time, never liked Mayim. She made many mistakes
Randy
For me personally I will not be watching the show in the future.
There are plenty of shows to watch on other stations. It’s to bad the the entertainment industry thinks they have people in a strangle on what we watch.
Debbie
Like them both. Would like to see Mayim come back for special occasions but keep Ken as regular host.
Gail
I enjoy both host. Ken is fun to watch, has personality and can get along with the contestants. He is very quick on the draw as far as confirmating answeres from players. The game moves briskly. Mayim is also fun to watch, has a great personality but is too slow to confirm questions (answers) from the players so that mistakes that are not necessary can
be made. I will still miss her.
Carolyn Buffenmyer
Ken is the best person to follow Alex as host. He knew Alex and worked with him. His hosting style is very similar. Bialik was a disaster for the show.
Sue
She is supposedly an actress not an MC. She does a terrible job. It’s not an acting job it’s a job for an MC. Hello when are you people going to get that
Anthony LoBaugh
Thank you Roslyn Kessler. I concur 100%. I couldn’t have said it better. They have made a mistake. It seems punitive towards Mayim Balik for supporting the strikes and since Jennings is fine with doing the show even with recycled material he gets the job. I will not be watching until they make better decisions.
Anthony LoBaugh
“You people”? When are we going to get it right? Sue, I got this one right. You are condescending to others who don’t share your viewpoint on the selection of a game show host. Disturbing.
Chris
I so agree with you. I only watched when Mayim was hosting.
Sandra
I think you’ll find more people would rather see Ken Jennings. Mayim is stiff and wooden and doesn’t think fast on her feet.
Lt
I disagree. It seemed ok pretty split. I prefer Mayim. Ken is too snarky for my taste. Now I love the show and don’t care for the host.
Mary
Nope. Jennings is awful. Likes to think he’s funny but is just irritating. Guess I have other things I can watch.
Nicola Roberts
I agree!
Sheri Phillips
Ken Jennings is much better host. She was very condescending and I turned the TV off when she was on
Brenda
I like Ken and Mayim.
I liked Alex too. What I like is the show. All this bickering pushed me to quit watching. I don’t like the repeated questions of the past. btw Mayim is just as smart as Ken. Why argue about the trivial.
Sandee
Ken is the Best, keep him full time with no one else involved.. He knows exactly what he is doing, having been a contestant himself.
Barton
WTH was she even doing on the show? Actress? What qualifies her to be a host of this hugely popular game show. I’m not a Jennings fan either but he’ll do until someone with class like Alex replaces him.
auramac
Plenty of other place to watch Mayim. Ken is perfect for Jeopardy. I’d stop watching if not for him. He’s the only one who makes the show feel the same after Alex.
Gina
NO… do not bring her back! Ken is perfect…
Marilyn
Agree 100%!
WB
Totally agree. Mayim is a good actress but as a Jeopardy host, not so much. Actually, she was terrible. I stopped watching when it was her turn to host. Ken otoh, is perfect. I find him completely delightful and perfect for the job.
Don
A great actress but a terrible Jeopardy host. Hope this is true and Ken takes over as the sole permanent host.
Anne
I like Mayim and enjoyed her upbeat personality. However I got turned off by thr frequency of bad calls she made.
Brenda
I like Ken and Mayim.
I liked Alex too. What I like is the show. All this bickering pushed me to quit watching. I don’t like the repeated questions of the past. btw Mayim is just as smart as Ken. Why argue about the trivial.
Dave
Jennings is the perfect replacement. We find Bialik is condescending and to be frank.. annoying in this position.
BMW
Agree 👍
Peakclover
I agree Ken Jennings is a bore. Dry no personality.
I wonder how many times this geeky nerd got shoved into his locker at school.
Bring Mayim back !! Quirky perhaps but most certainly not a bore !!!
EM
Your opinion is of course your choice however the overwhelming majority of viewers spoke so highly of Jennings ability that they went with him. I must say I agree with their choice! Love the show once again!
Linda O'Brien
Yes bring Mayim back. She has a great personality. I dont think I will be watchin jeopardy if she’s not reinstated.
Kathy
While I like Jennjnfs more than I used yo I think it was refreshing to have the hints changing up ftom time to time.
I think Bialik added some colour and life to the show.
I will definitely miss her.
Sue
I agree 100%. I love Mayim”s upbeat attitude & how much fun she seem to having.
Ken is a lackluster, full of himself host.
Look for another choice if Mayim doesn’t want to come back.
Annette
Since Ken will be the only host, I will no longer watch my favorite show. I have never liked Ken he acts conceited and a know it all. Mayim was friendly with everyone, smiling and courtesy to all.
I have watch Jeopardy since day one when the new season starts will be my last day to watch.
Blanca
I stopped watching when he was a contestant, will not be watching when he is the only host.
Erin
I agree 💯 percent!!! Ken is so full of himself and likes to bring it up. Mayim is naturally the right person for the job.
Pablo Vincente
I agree 100%
AladdinSane
I agree totally!
Rosalind
Glad to hear Ken is the regular daily host. Should have been that way from the start.
Jim Dwyer
I’ve never been impressed with Ken Jennings ! He could not hold Alex’s jockstrap ! His educational and professional background can never compare to Mayim’s superb resume ! And sad to say he’s a scab ! I used to have 450 people working for my own company and I always encourage them to be organized ! And what helped me get through college is I was a member of teamsters 107 loading and driving trucks ! Peace 🕊️ Out, Jim Dwyer aka 100%IrishRaginCa-jun🍀⚜️💚!
Marilyn Aiello
I am a long time watcher and I totally agree.
Jennings is mostly into and for himself. Mayim was treated badly.
TerriNW
He’s not a scab, since Jeopardy was not included within the shows the union was striking against. Mayim was not part of the strike; rather, her refusal to work was “in solidarity with” those who were striking.
You may think what Ken did is not admirable or is anti-union, but it’s not scabbing.
Anthony LoBaugh
Thank you Roslyn Kessler. I concur 100%. I couldn’t have said it better. They have made a mistake. It seems punitive towards Mayim Balik for supporting the strikes and since Jennings is fine with doing the show even with recycled material he gets the job. I will not be watching until they make better decisions.
Heather
Keep Ken Jennings permanently! He is WAY better host. It’s almost painful sometimes, watching Mayim.
Claire
I’ ve liked Mayim since she played Blossom, but I couldn’t watch her host Jeopardy. She seemed a little awkward, albeit, I’m sure her personality is awesome having watched some interviews with her and Jennings, she seems nice, but I don’t feel that rolled over too well while in that particular position. 🙏
bunny
Sorry to hear this . more politics. Will miss watching the show but I am done.
Bruce
I agree with everything you say.
Dc
She is so annoying.. she isnt quivk enough to read and figure out the answer
Doc
You must be a relative or PR agent.
Dry is Mayim personified
Mary
I like Mayim much better than Ken. Don’t watch when he is hosting….
Gerry
Agree completely
Helen Sievers
Are you kidding! She’s awful!! And Ken is spot on.
Helen Sievers
Are you kidding! She’s awful!! And Ken is spot on. Waiting for her to check the responses is past irritating. Ken wasn’t very good on his initial audition, but now he’s nailed it. And the contestants are visibly excited to be on the same stage as Ken!
Chris
I so agree with you. I only watched when Mayim was hosting.
Jacqueline
Have loved Mayim since Beaches. Do not love her on Jeopardy. She does not seem comfortable in that role. Wishing her new and exciting things for her future. So very glad Jennings will be the host.
Ann Marie
I Agee 100%. She is not good at this position. Ken is remarkable.
Ann Marie
I disagree completely. Ken Jennings is who makes Jeopardy worth watching. He is so kind and exceptional in knowledge. Please keep Ken as the host of Jeopardy!
WB
I didn’t find her a good fit at all. Her chats w/ the contestants were rote and phony. I think she’s a good actress but I don’t think she is suited to be a host.
Jim
Absolutely agree, bring her back. Dumo the Know it All Ken. He always has to add in his Two Cents on everyone’s answer or comment. It’s Jeopardy NOT th Ken Jennings Show..at least show her on the reruns..
Christine
I totally disagree!
When she was on, I wouldn’t watch, I am glad she’s off. Ken is lively, personable and funny. He’s the perfect host for Jeopardy!
Dina
Totally agree he’s not very interesting to watch. Loved watching her. Enjoyed the show a lot more get rid of him.
Sharon
No
I do not miss Mayam
She is a fine comedy actress
She is not a good fit for Jeopardy!
Moriel Weiselberg
I think Ken Jennings is the ideal host for Jeopardy. His manner, personality, connection to the players, refinement all contribute to his being the consummate host. Alex would most certainly laud him.
Mayim Bialik was a problematic host for me. She seemed to behave as though she was the show. I found this tendency highly distasteful. I will not miss her.
Nancy
Strongly dislike Mayim! Glad she is gone.
Sam
I did not like her.
She was the worst host ever.
I did not like her gestures on stage. When she was hosting I will turn to channel. Happy to see her gone
Nancy
Everyone has comments she was okay. But l prefer Ken, but overall l preferred the quarterback Aaron Roger’s maybe it’s time to try him again since he is out of the game for a season at. He’s my choice. Plus good to look at.
Gail Cook
Mayim is a great host for jeopardy. Why is she being booted from the show? Love watching her.She probably knows the answers without the answer cards. She has a wonderful personality.
Linda Fuller
I totally agree!! She was a breath of fresh air to this show. Great personality, too. I think she did well handing the questions. We’re all human folks!
Jim Dwyer
👍👍👍👍
Judith Edwards
I did not enjoy watching Jeopardy when Ms. Bialik was hosting. The pause between the contestant providing the question and Ms. Bialik confirming answer was very annoying.
Also her responses were to animated.
Happy to have Ken back.
TerriNW
I agree with every word you said, except I’ll go further and say I had stopped watching episodes that she hosted.
Love Ken. He’s a natural, and watching it with him as host is the closest thing we can get to having Alex back.
Sharon Strunk
I agree with Roslyn Kessler.
Bring back Mayim. She’s bubblably, she gets excited for the contestants. Ken does have a dry personality and down right makes Jeopardy boring. His voice alone is irritating.
Linda Fuller
Yes!! Totally agree with Sharon Strunk! Ken Jennings has a very dry personality.
Heidi
Glad they finally decided on one host and even happier it was Ken Jennings they decided on. Who better to take over for the great Alex Trebec than the GOAT contestant, Ken.
Carmen
I think she is great! Having 2 co-hosts keeps it from becoming boring-⁹
Hugo A. Almodovar
Mayim Bialik on occasion gave the answer, or completed the answer, for contestando. If the answer was “pink cars” and the contestant answered “cars” she would say “that’s right, pink cars”. Also took too long to say if the answers were correct. Glad to see her go.
Helaine
She was difficult to watch. Between her swaying and terrible timing telling contestants if they’re right, she was obnoxious. She had the answers in front of her so why cause the contestants added anxiety. I’m so happy she’s forever gone. I love Ken. He’s a natural.
Christine
We love Mayim! She was a joy to watch. You could tell she loves the show. Please bring her back.
Judy
I agree We loved Mayim. She put herself into the show and cared about the contestants. Just like Bob Barker on the Price is right. It’s ok to have a different image and be yourself. Will miss her
George davis
Realy thats how bad that show is bevoming because one person brlieves in morals and the other one doesnt .this show is gonna lose because my gamily wont watch ot anymore.because ot shows they dont care about people all there worried about is money and ratings goodbye lost again see how many more will say no to jeopardy
Marcia
Glad to hear Ken is the only host. He is so much more natural as host and will do a great job.
Linda Fuller
Please, please bring Mayim Bialek back!! She has so much more fun personality than Ken Jennings. We love her!!”
Lilynvt
Love Mayim!!!!!!
Please bring her back. She is much closer to the kind, good humored Alex Trebec. Miss her so much. Ken is too full of himself.
J Hartman
I will miss her. I’m one of “those” who feels Ken is a self serving opportunistic scab.
Devi Missy
Jeopardy has been an obsession with me for years. I so dislike Ken Jennings. He is dull, full of himself, and a real bore. I don’t enjoy the show now, which makes me sad.
Patti VL
I think both hosts have brought their own strengths and challenges. Some fans have attacked Mayim unfairly, constantly, and without any mercy. And I sometimes wonder if Ken assisted. Kicking Mayim out at this point is a bad move. Be ashamed-/why it almost looks like misogyny!
Donald Jacob
She was a host with no personality. Very dry and uninteresting. Not at ease at all.
Good move Jeopardy, keeping the best host is a plus for the show.
Jean Allaire
I am so glad she is gone! It got the point, if she was hosting I didn’t bother to watch it!
Carmen
I think she is great! Having 2 co-hosts keeps it from becoming boring-⁹
Sandy
She was great for the show, Alex is gone, may he RIP. We don’t need a robot who posed like him or tallike him. him. She at least made the show exciting, and was crucified because she didn’t say things the way way Alex did. Jennings should be kicked off too
Carole
Please DO NOT bring her back. I thought she was very condescending to the players.
Ruby
Good! I never watch when she’s on!
Gwen Gentry
I am very happy to know that Ken Jennings will be the solo host. He does a great job. He understands the game so well. I think he also has a natural rapport with contestants having been in their shoes..
Robert Frazee
Get rid of the stiff Ken Jennings he is like a cardboard cut out he has no life to him and his jokes are not funny.
Diana
I strongly dislike Ken he thinks to highly of himself. He gives off the air how great he is and how he can do no wrong. I won’t watch anymore, he certainly not even close to a good host. Mayim the right choice by far. If she will come back.
Phyllis
We will no longer be watching the show. Ken Jennings is a doofus. Mayim is human.
Maureen
I actually enjoy seeing both of them and appreciate their different Sykes. I will miss seeing her.
Fran Farah
This is again an example of the eternal glass ceiling and union busting on top of it. Mayim Biallic is charming funnyband extremely bright. By picking Ken Jennings you have assigned yourself to a member of the good old Boys club. Bring her back. Ken Jennings is just another boring good old boy. We will not be watching Jeopardy otherwise.
Janie Townsend
I am totally happy with only Ken, miyam just never fit for me!
Sue
Yay it’s about time
Gayela
I’m OK with her being gone.
Jill
So glad she won’t be back. She was annoying.
Sandra
I’m glad she won’t be hosting Jeopardy anymore. Her interactions with the contestants was stiff and the momentary hesitation before declaring an answer right or wrong drove me nuts. Ken Jennings thinks fast on his feet and his back and forth with the contestants is smooth and amusing.
Kellye
I agree with everyone who says that Mayim is not the one who should be hosting. Ken Jennings reminds me a lot of Alex. He’s poised, intelligent and has a great sense of when to speak up and when not to. She doesn’t. She’s a terrible actress and an even worse host.
Ed Littlefield
Finally gone! Don’t know why it took so long to do that.
Jo
You made the right decision to have Ken as the one and only host. He delivery and rapport with contestants cannot be matched. Mayim was a mistake from the beginning, and was unwatchable. So thank you Jeopardy for finally realizing it.
Karl
Her being gone is the best news ever!!! She was so gaff prone!
Pat
No I am glad she isn’t coming back i like ken and hope he is permanent
Sharon
I liked Mayim on Jeopardy! She was warm, personable, smart, and HUMAN. I find Ken to be a bit smug and arrogant, something Alex never was. But Mayim may have lucked out, as the show seems to be deteriorating in both format and question quality. I used to love Jeopardy; never missed it. Now I watch if it’s convenient. Ho-hum.
Terri
Thank God! I like her fine as an actress, but she was horrible on Jeopardy. Her whole cadence, often looking confused, the delay between the correct answer and her ruling it correct, and her almost giddy sing songy voice and reaction when someone finds the daily double. Unwatchable!
Deanna Strait
Big mistake! Ken Jennings is way too condescending and cocky!
Gil
Bring her back, she adds life to the show!
Pat
Mayam always did a wonderful job when hosting both regular shows & specials. Her professionalism & intelligence always came shining through. Also having a female host was a fresh approach to an aging show.
Ken Janowski
I feel sorry for her but in my opinion, she just was not the right person for this show. Saying that, I wish her the best in the future.
Lorraine Vickers
Yippee… couldn’t watch when she hosted. Ken is the best! All my friends and coworkers feel the same. Looking forward to the new season!
Evelyn Riffel
I love Mayim she’s so pretty an I love her smile.. she’s so much better then Jennings.. if you do away with her your ratings will be hurting…I know I won’t be watching it.. She’s funny an an a delight to see her there everyday. So please keep her smiling face there.. Always look forward in seeing her. She’s a delight..Thank you…
Lawrence
Bye Bye Miss American Pie!!!!
Best move ever!!!!
Cat
I will miss Mayim.Think she was very funny. She added style to Jeopardy.
Bob
The whole multiple hosts experiment was a bad idea in the first place. Ken was the heir apparent and they should have just gone with him. While I preferred Ken to Mayim, I didn’t hate her like so many seemed to. I just hope they settle the strikes so we can get back to business.
Novell
I can agree with this. I like Ken as the main host because he played the game well and still holds the record for most wins. Not only this, he loves the show like Alex did. He also was great friends with Alex and showed true emotion for when Alex passed. That’s why I think Ken should be the main host.
Susan Melchior
That totally sucks!!! She was the only good thing on the show!!! Ken J is so boring and is trying to much!!!
You’ve lost 2 viewers and I bet you will lose many, many more!!
Di
I will never watch Jeopardy again!
I cannot stand Ken Jennings!!
Marcia
I’m happy with Ken Jenni gs. There will never be another Alex Trebec but Mayim was awkward, paused too long to confirm accuracy of the questions, and in general did not have the poise I’d like to see as a host.
Sandee
Ken is the Best, keep him full time with no one else involved.. He knows exactly what he is doing, having been a contestant himself.
Judy Murphy
I have never cared for her as a Jeopardy host, so I’m glad she’s out. Ken, even with some glitches, is okay. But, I was really hoping they would pick Buzzy Cohen. Or stuck with their first choice.
(I can’t recall his name – the show producer.)
VICKI
I DIDN’T ALWAYS LIKE KEN JENNINGS. HE CAME ACROSS AS “COCKY”! HOWEVER, KEN HAS MELLOWED AND I BELIEVE WANTS TO HONOR ALEX AND CONTINUE THE SHOW AS BEST HE CAN IN CARRYING ON THE SHOW AS I BELIEVE ALEX WOULD HAVE WANTED! NOW, I LOVE KEN JENNINGS! HE KNOWS THE SHOW AND IS A PRO IN GIVING THE QUESTIONS AND RESPONDING! I’M FINE THE WAY IT IS! THANK YOU FOR FINALLY MAKING A DECISION AND PROVIDING A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR THE SHOW TO MOVE FORWARD!!
Christine
I just love Ken Jennings. His knowledge & love for the game makes the show so much more enjoyable. I am so happy that the sow is continuing despite the strike. Recycled questions don’t bother me ~ I don’t remember any of them anyway. It’s a great idea!
Gina
NO… do not bring her back! Ken is perfect…
Gloglen
I do not watch Jeopardy unless Mayim is hosting. She’s very articulate and gorgeous to look at. If there’s no Mayim, I can find other interesting things to view.
Carol Calderon
Ken, please. Keep Ken only as Host of Jeopardy. He is kind to the contestants. He has the ability to joke with them, has perfect timing, has a vast knowledge bank that makes him able to respond intelligently (without always just saying yes or no to the contestants answers), and communicates so well during the contestants interviews. I am sorry, but Mayim’s always responding by saying something likes “that’s wonderful” gets old. Ken is the perfect host of Jeopardy. PERIOD!
John Carpenter
Love Ken Jennings, was hoping he would become the only permanent host. Had a hard time watching Mayim Bialik, was never a fan. Have been watching Jeprody since 70,s.
P. Jenkins
I’m thrilled that Ken has been named the permanent host! It’s about time!!
Mary perron
Ken Jennings is the perfect host. Leave him be!
Tom
Ken is the man.
Lorelei
I like Ken . She was nice almost too nice
RLea
YES! I believe Jennings has undercut her every chance he could. I will not be watching Jeopardy faithfully anymore
Dilana Kane
I’m so glad Sony finally made the right choice. Ken is the only host that should be there, forever.
Judy
The only host worse than Mayim Bialik was Aaron Rodgers. Please don’t bring either of them back ever.
Ilona Host
Ken is Boring, will not watch Jeopardy anymore. Have watched the show since my Teens, I’m now 77 no more Jeopardy for me, Ken has no Personality. I liked him when he was a Contestant but not as the Host. Will not watch Wheel of Fortune, too much Seacrest
Jyl
I love both Ken and Mayim!! I would like to see both of them once the strke is over.
It seems a bit odd that the show can legally fire Mayim when she was out only due to the strike, unless she voluntarily quit. If she did get fired on the basis that she didn’t want to be a scab, that just simply doesn’t seem legal.
Liz
Keep her off!! She ruined the entire show for me with her condescending attitude
Carlos
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT FREAK SHOW BACK IN IT’S BOX!!!
Mayim Bialik is one of the oddest freaks on this planet. SHAME ON YOU for exposing that mess to a FAR wider viewing audience than IT was ever able to attract with iT’S own “work”.
GOOGLE IT!!
As for Ken Jennings, he has proven EVERY DAY THAT HE HOSTS JEOPARDY, that he is DUMBER THAN A FIRST GRADER.
That little pin-head ACTS like he is so well educated, yet his SPEAKING proves how STUPID he truly is.
Jeopardy had several DECENT, and at least MODERATELY WELL EDUCATED personalities that could have, and undoubtedly WOULD have done a FAR better job hosting the show, than the two clowns that the show’s producers chose to destroy it.
Lila
I love Mayim, and I don’t understand all the haters! I would prefer to see them split hosting duties, just bring Mayim back!
Irene
Bad decision. I will miss her.Ken can be annoying.He is so full of himself.
Rn
I stopped watching ken Jennings as host shortly after seeing a few episodes Miami was so much better guess I won’t ever be watching again
Nico Richichi
I believe her 15 minutes of fame are over. She should not have been an option to begin with.
Jay
Mayim is terrible at presenting the show, like her terrible acting skills always off timing and unfunny.
David Guggenbuehl
My opinion is very easy….. If she is not there neither will I be. She’s brilliant and well-loved and extremely good with the contestants…. Having both of them is an excellent choice but if she’s gone I don’t even know if I could watch it ever again. That would be a shame since I have been watching it for many many years.
Katherine Kilgore
I’d bring Mayim Bialik back after the strikes. It’s unfair to fire her during the ongoing strikes. PLEASE bring back Mayim Bialik.
Geri Darden
We are glad Mayim will no longer be involved. We record all episodes so we can watch when convenient and did not watch when she was hosting.
Cyrella Whinfield
Bring her back! She was a refreshing change from Jennings, who can sometimes be uppity and condescending. At least she has a personality and a sense of humor!
Terri Vaughn
Mr Davies, Thank you for respecting your fans and viewers by announcing Ken Jennings as the permanent and solo host of Jeopardy!
You couldn’t have made a better choice!
MSadler
We’re Bialik fans. Can’t stand Jennings.
Sandi
I am so glad it will be Ken going forward. He hosts a lot like Alex did. My best wishes to him and the future of Jeopardy.
Harry
Ken is objectively better. No lag time. That’s important.
Julie
Keep Jennings as permanent host. He’s great
Jill
I love Ken Jennings as permanent host! He keeps the show professional and engaging. He doesn’t promote himself, but he is a great advocate for the show. Best move ever to make Ken Jennings permanent host!!
Ralph
Ken Jennings is the only host that makes since. After all the gaffs that Mayim committed, I stopped watching the show whenever she hosted it. At last they have made the right decision to go with Alex Trebeck’s choice for his successor
Valerie
I like Miyam but not for Jeopardy female just doesn’t fit so very glad Ken has the gig and hopefully for many seasons to come.
Jim
Thank the Lord. Ken is excellent and she was a giggling know-nothing.
Jane Ottoson
I enjoyed having her as the backup host. Ken will get burned out then we won’t have a host. You really need to rethink this decision. If not Mayim then find someone else.
Rox
I liked Mayim very much in TBBT. Not as a Jeopardy host. Abrupt and condescending, poor timing. Glad they are sticking with Ken.
Geri
I truly hope you bring Mayim back. She gives the show an upbeat vibe and makes it interesting. Ken is ok as a fill in but not permanent.
Jennifer Kraussé
How very disappointing. I really enjoyed it when Mayim Bialik hosted the show. She comes across as very lovely, kind, and personable; despite being a straight up genius! Ken Jennings comes off rather wooden and lacking in personality; often looking very uncomfortable during the host/contestant chat portion of the show.
Cathi Volz
Goodbye Myyam. Don’t let the door hit ya in the buns. See ya, NOT !!!!
Sheila
Nothing against her, but she was not a good fit for Jeopardy. It was clear her hesitation after contestants gave their answers drove them and me crazy. She did not have a good rhythm hosting. I think Alex would have wanted Ken.
Ashlynne
Bring Mayim back. I like Ken but I miss seeing Mayim on Jeopardy
Nina
It is wholly unfortunate that both Jennings and Bialik will no longer be co-hosts.
I don’t understand why Jennings and Bialik can’t divide and conquer the Jeopardy spin-offs for Bialik and our beloved Jeopardy for Jennings.
Ljbenoit
Keep her. Don’t punish her got sticking to her guns and being a true union member.
Nina McGee
I don’t understand why Jennings and Bialik will no longer be allowed to co-host. Leave our beloved Jeopardy show with Jennings, and have Bialik host the spin-offs like Celebrity Jeopardy.
That being said, as a member of SAG-AFTRA, she had to make her choice by standing with the WGA’s strike.
Rerunning prior questions is lazy and a sad attempt to circumnavigate the strike.
Bobby
Good bye and good riddance. Ken Jennings is head and shoulders so much better than her. He has improved so much since he took over for Alex. He handled the recent tournament of champions superb….
Wendy
I guess I won’t be watching Season 40. Standing up for a cause means nothing.
Jeff
Thank god! This was not a good fit for her. She is not suited for an unscripted venture. She does not ad lib well and is clearly uncomfortable doing so.
Carol Cohen
Yea! Glad she’s gone. Love Ken!!
Joan
Great news. She didn’t portray a professional attitude, and ignored many of the rules about how to answer, especially when Matt Amotti would always use WHAT is (persons name). Now I will start watching Jeopardy again.
Pablo Vincente
Are you an anti-semite
Sherry
Keep her off PERMANENTLY! We don’t watch when she is on
Rich
She was condescending and tried to be an intellectual showoff, even pedantic. Very annoying to watch her host that show.
Mary Bea
I think Jepardy needs to bring her back. She is great!
Hopefully the strike will end this Friday!
Mary Rines
When the contestant give the last name,he says yes,and give the first name,the contestant said who is fox,ken said yes who is jamie fox,the question pertained to a movie,the answer could have been Michael j fox or Vivica Fox,he is giving the clues away
Val
Why did u have to choose?? They both have their place and I liked watching both.
Patty
I love Mayim. I love Ken too. I hope they bring her back. I liked seeing them switch it up a bit. So many people really said some nasty things about her…just rude. If they think they can do better, maybe they should apply. Please bring her back after the strike is over.
Sarah
Never cared for her. Thought she was a distraction. The girl needs a good stylist.
William Laughlin
I won’t miss her a bit.
She tried to hard and came off as disingenuous.
Besides, how annoying was it that on the preeminent quiz show, the host couldn’t even pronounce a simple wonder like singer. It is sing-er, NOT sing-ger!
William Laughlin
*too hard, NOT to hard
*word, NOT wonder
Harvey Morrow
I think that Ken is doing a fine job. I like Mayim, but I am going with the choice.
Eunice
Because no back Mayim. The contrast between Ken and Mayim adds a welcome diversity.
Millie
Jennings is a perfect host for Jeopardy. If Mayim is reinstated I will no longer watch the show. She draws too much attention to herself whereas Jennings just gets on with business.
John
Ken Jennings is hands down better than Mayim, no contest. Read the room Roslyn!
Sue
Thank goodness they got rid of her hopefully forever. She is totally unprofessional and had no personality. Jeopardy is my favorite game show, but I refuse to watch it when she was hosting. I’m delighted that Ken Jennings will be permanent!!
Lora
I like her. I would hate for her to lose her job because of the strike. And even though I’m not pro Union I think of Jennings as a scab.
Martha
I hope Ken continues as host. Nothing personal toward Mayim, but she messed up too much and it took her a few seconds to tell the contestant if they were correct. Ken does an excellent job. I have always loved Jeopardy.
Marti devich
I quit watching when she was so-called hosting. Not a fan of hers.
Julie
Great call!!!! Ken is professional yet has personality with out being short with the players. He creates a natural flow to the game, which she severely lacks.
devin
Dunno what this other person’s talkn about. Ken Jennings is fantastic and tons of people were clamoring for Mayim to exit. Ken embodies Jeopardy and I think he’s the right and only choice.
Barbara
I have watched Jeopardy for 40+ years. No more. Making Ken Jennings permanent and solo has lost you a faithful follower. Ken is all about himself.
Jeffrey Isbell
She took an ethical stance. I don’t agree with punishing that.
Darlene Ivey
Yes I think she should be out forever. I could care less one way or the other about Ken, I don’t have a problem with him, but if it were up to me I would choose James! He is so personable. I really miss Alex and no matter who you pick he will never ever be replaceable!!!!
Karen Milligan
Now I suppose all of those hateful viewers who made so many nasty, rude and disgusting comments about Mayem are happy she will no longer be hosting. We are now left with only Jennings, who is not by a long shot a good replacement for Alex Trebek. It’s a game show, folks. One half hour a day. There was no need for the ugly comments made about Mayem. Enjoy, haters. Your wish came true, but at the cost of the feelings of a genuinely good person.
Carmen
I think she is great! Having 2 co-hosts keeps it from becoming boring-
Elĺie
Ken Jennings as host has been the best decision for the show.
Pablo Vincente
Ken Jennings is boring and not pleasant on the eyes.
I’m unanimous.
Lyn
Mayim is condescending and the way she hesitates after each answer from a contestant is very annoying. Ken is personable and engaged with the contestants. I love Jeopardy but I find myself not watching when Mayim hosts.
Donna
Mayim Bialik is a wonderful host. Fun and upbeat. I’ll miss her. It was nice of her to stand in solidarity with the strikers.
Donna McMaster
Mayim Bialik is a wonderful host. Fun and upbeat. I’ll miss her. It was nice of her to stand in solidarity with the strikers.
Kathy
I never liked Miyam. When she hosted, I didn’t watch. Love Ken Jennings. I am a happy girl!
Tina
That’s a shame. She is personable and erudite! Will miss her.
Connie Ferguson
We like Ken Jennings so much more than Mayim… won’t miss her at all!
Sheila
She should never have been a host on jeopardy in the first place. I never watched when she hosted. She was one of the worst hosts that I’ve ever seen. She’s fine on her sitcom, but she’s just not for jeopardy. I hate to be so blunt, but I’ve read many of the comments over the past few years and Ken Jennings fits more of the Alex Tribec profile. I think that Alex would be very happy with this choice
Carol N.
Mayim runs circles around Jennings. He is pathetic and has NO personality and lisps but you guy don’t care because he is a man. Do you think people who watch the show don’t know the real story. Jennings is an ass kisser. I’m done with your pathetic excuses and will NEVER WATCH YOU CLOWNS SCREW UP THE SHOW AGAIN. GOOD BYE.
Charlie
Your personal attacks are quite unfortunate. You call a man of unmatched intellect who also has humility and genuineness “pathetic”? We must be careful to point fingers. It’s probably time to “slide the mirror” because that fingerpointing is headed right back in your direction, Carol. I try to remember that concept anytime I realize I’m criticizing someone, even in my heart. Focus on love, not hate/vitriol.
Marilyn
I love Ken Jennings as host. Glad to hear he is staying as host.
Barton
WTH was she even doing on the show? Actress? What qualifies her to be a host of this hugely popular game show. I’m not a Jennings fan either but he’ll do until someone with class like Alex replaces him.
Jack Harris
I think Ken is conceited and he constantly refers to his record streak. He makes snide remarks, but that is apparently what the majority of fans want. The show and fans seem that the fans are secondary or window dressing for the hisy.
Vikes73
I really want Mayim back. For me, Ken tries to add too much of his personality to the show with his added side comments and his tendency to influence wagers by his statements. It’s just not about him and how smart he is. Mayim’s demeanor works better for me, even with her pauses.
Jo Anne Sandy
Finally! Freedom to watch Jeopardy w/o ditsy drama. Thank you for coming to your senses!
Charlie
It’s the right call. Ken Jennings is a natural. He handles the game play so well and has appealing wit, a trait that’s quite unusual for a savant. Roslyn, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re among a very small minority. Jeopardy is blessed to have Ken as the sole permanent host.
Victoria Terry
Yay! I am so very happy to hear this piece of good news! Ken Jennings is a much better fit for the show, he’s a natural. She came across as stiff and awkward, and very much out of place. Not at all natural and at ease like Ken. She was stiff and seemed too rehearsed. I am sure she will land on her feet somewhere out there, just not at Jeopardy. He is much more likable for the hosting duties! I am happy the show made the correct choice! Congrats Ken Jennings on your BIG WIN! I really look forward to the new season with Ken hosting. Congrats to all you future winners out there!
A happy viewer,
Victoria Terry, Hazlet NJ
Marika
Dear ABC Public Relations …
She was NEVER right for your Jeopardy show / replacement, Alex Trebek …
She was trying too hard and came across to stiff and two trying …
Ken Jennings is your absolute perfect choice …
He comes across, very confident …
For a so-called newcomer, he comes / looks and fells very relaxed and comfortable …
And actually after such a short time, very very confident and professional …
Please stop locking, you have your perfect man …
Maybe you can share the Complementary with him … M.K. NYC
Bonnie Napper Sortland
Bring Mayim back!! She has personality!! If you let go of Mayim, Jennings should go, too. Put Wil Wheaton in place.
Linda
Never bring her back! She is awful host!
Cheryl
I happen to like Mayim a great deal. She is charming, witty and genuine. Whereas Ken is smart, he likes to show off, is rather snarky at times, and sometimes seems devoid of a personality. If he can be given a chance, so should she. Balance each other
Sandy
Never liked either choice and have stopped watching the show.
Lavar Burton would have been a great choice to take over
Joyce Miller
I liked both hosts but thought Mayim did a better job interviewing the contestants. She was warmer and appeared more interested in them. I was disappointed to see all of the negative comments about her.
Jamie Zazow
I loved her performance on the show. I respect her integrity and her intellect. I also appreciate very much the inclusion of women in this genre of tv programming as more than “spokesmodels.”
She will be missed. When the strike settles she should be brought back and/or other bright competent women should be sought out for hosting.
BP
I’m happy that Bialik is gone as a host of Jeopardy. I stopped watching the show whenever she was hosting so now I can continue watching all the shows as I had for the past many years. Thank you for making this decision. GOAT is the perfect host to follow in Alex Trebek’s footsteps.
Sally Elder
I think she is a good actress I’ve enjoyed her over the years however that’s how she comes off as an actor playing the part of a game show host which isn’t really all that easy it’s very difficult to be relaxed she is smart in her field but not generally Jennings is charming he’s witty I think he’s an excellent host I think Alex would have chosen him himself if he was still with us I think that he’s proven himself so much she made me so nervous before she’d say if somebody was right or wrong that I stopped watching the show during the time she was hosting I’m sorry but she’ll have a great career somewhere else thank you for listening
kw
Awesome. Just awesome. The balik disappears. For good.
Dan
I want to see Mayim back in some capacity. This is gender discrimination at its worst. I will probably quit watching if this is not rectified.
SES
Love Ken Jennings. Great replacement for Alex Trebek. Very glad he has the job permently!
Trisha LeRoy
My family and I are not fans of Bialik, so this means we’re likely to watch more this season with Jennings at the helm. I understand it is personal preference with regard to hosting style, but I appreciate Jennings sense of humor and professionalism.
Pursewiz
I think the decision to move forward only with Ken was absolutely the right thing to do.
Mary Derr
I’m happy with Ken doing aole hosting duties. It was disruptive switching hosts on the regular Jeopardy and she didn’t have a good rhythm to keep the show going. She takes too long to decide if it’s a correct answer and has made many mistakes on her decisions. I think Ken is very enjoyable to watch!
Ernie
I am a long time fan who WILL QUIT WATCHING! I really like Ms. Bialik and thought sh was much more engaging as host! Mr. Jenning’s personality just seems so stiff and dry! This news is a major disappointment!
Janet
I like Mayim Bialik and respect her decision. I do not support the show recycling old material so it may be bye bye Jeopardy. I like Ken but not sure solid Ken with no Mayim will work for this life long Jeopardy watcher.
David Smith
PLEASE BRING MAYIM BACK…She brought so much personality to the show with her upbeat attitude…Jennings is good but just DRY….
Shay
I never want to see her again. Ken brings dignity to the show like Alex but she acts like a buffoon.
L. S.
Thank God! She was an absolute train wreck. Overall, I couldn’t stand her attitude of thinking she was the most intelligent person on the stage. I never watched the show whenever she hosted.
Carol massengale
Am glad Ken Jennings is the host I like him the best carol massengale
Gordon
Simply gone, dull, uninspiring
ACS
Mayim should definitely return. She is a joy to watch as host. Jennings is like a robot and stiff as wood. Please bring Mayim back!
Peter
Get rid of dead lab Jennings
Dee
Thank you for for finally getting it right Ken is the much better host Mayim is a terrific actress and I love her but a game show host she is not I hated the episode but her hosting
Lauren Omartian
I enjoyed watching Mayim.
Bring her back full-time!
Rle
Roslyn, you have it all backwards! Ken is the one with pazaz and life. He keeps the show moving.
Di
She was a good host and I will miss her.
I no longer watch Jeopardy as I can’t stand Ken Jennings.
Geraldine
We will not watch our favorite show if Mariam Belyk is ever hosting again. Ken Jennings at least has secupels
Julie
I will really miss her. She has a serious intellect and still she was fun and pretty too. She will land on her feet. They are just trying to make an example of her for being aligned with the workers. They will (or should) come back to her when the strikes are settled. Even if they don’t she will get another gig for being a person with backbone.
William
OR….Leave well enough alone and let Mayim Bialik just Celebrity Jeopardy. She should be punished for having beliefs and an opinion?
Sandi
Mayim Is a superb, talented person and would be wasting her talent reading your questions . She was the only reason I popped in to watch your boring show! She is amazing and I’m sure she will do way better things . Using the words “getting rid of” is so rude . Blossom doesn’t deserve that they were lucky to have her ! I will never bother learn the new guys name . You deserve him .
Bruce
I think mayim bialik is a much better choice than stiff as a board Jennings. I will stop watching if Jennings continues to host.
Tricia
Totally agree…Jennings arrogance ruins the show for me.
Patricia Stover
So glad she is gone. Could not watch when she hosted.
Steve
Jennings is an absolute dork!!!
At least miyam is a good looking lady….send the DORK packing and bring her back
Nick
Good looking? hahaha
Kathleen
Stick with Ken!
bob barrett
She is annoying for her pauses to confirm correct answers. Glad she is not returning. Ken Jennings is good but the former show runner was much better.
Dana Finley
They should keep her. What is wrong with them?
Sandra Jerome
So sad, I love her work and enjoyed watching both Ken and her-variety is the spice of life…
Laura
There again another male. Just because she has beliefs shouldn’t disqualify her. What happened to equity
Penny Mandel
I thought Mayim Bialik was excellent. Ken Jennings works very hard and he’s very bright and his timing is good. But I agree that unfortunately he’s very dry and boring. It’s a difficult job. For whatever reasons, I am very sorry not to view Jeopardy with Mayim Bialik as the host. Her energy and personality were an asset to this legendary and popular show. And of course we all miss Alex Trebek.
Annie
So glad! Ken is my top favorite as host.
Suz
Love Ken Jennings. He is a very good host.
Dorothy Flood
I personally found her very condescending and arrogant in her having to always make sure the contestants knew how much smarter she thought she was. Appeared very phony and didn’t seem to really care when asking the contestants about their personal life
Ginger Martin
Bring Mayim back!!!! She was trying to do the right thing- something we see less and less in this world today!! Jeopardy is better than this!!!!
Sally
Please I like her, it needs to be shared
Helen Tacon
No. Just Ken as host.
Mayim is a great sitcom actor. Being a Jeopardy host is not her forte. I did like her in auditions, however she does not fit behind that podium where Ken excels.
She has not failed. It’s just not her gig.
David E Weber
I like her she adds something to the show with being funny at times. Don’t ditch her back .
Tim Jagoe
I liked Ken Jennings as a contestant. Liked him as a cohost. Favor him as solo host. I’m pretty made up on the issue. What do I know. I’m only the viewer here. Peace. Shalom.
Debbie Smith Walthall
Very glad she is going to be gone! It was grueling to have to watch her affectations. There was always that annoying pause before she could let the contestant know if he was correct or not.
Harold Meadors
Jeopardy has finally got it right. Ken is perfect for the job. He should have the sole replacement from the beginning. A victim of committee decision making.
Judy Gullie
I enjoyed both host.
Sorry she will not return.
Marsha Harrington
Say not so!
Rob R.
Jeopardy quiz show was not the best forum for Mayim Bialik. Like her as a person but not so much as jeopardy host.
Tarra
I love Maiyin Bialic. Although she was a little slow in affirming or disaffirming an answer, I liked the way she carried herself. She’s funny and so real. I wish she was back. Many will miss her.
Yvonne Monsanto
Don’t like Mayimon the show
ShadowWwitch
Great! Never watching a SCAB or a show that doesn’t respect Unions in the face of simply making money, again. Those haters who have an issue with a smart, funny woman . . . ? You’re misogynists and haters. Keep on hating trolls.
Delores
I want her back she is so nice and very mad I will not be seeing her anymore. Please bring her back. I don’t want ken I want her!!
Jake Devaney
MAYIM seems nice enough, certainly bright and attractive, but she has a little hitch in her giddyup and it is off-putting. Ken does a great job and certainly has the credentials
Alta
She was a terrible host. I’m glad she’s gone. No sense of humor and it took her so long to say an answer was correct or wrong. Thank God for Ken Jennings.
Phyllis Epstein
Glad Jennings is in and Bialek is out. Would not watch when she was host!
Christine Parker
I don’t really care for ken something about him I the that mayim did a better job Alex T always kept a low key I know she had a few errors but maybe a little time would take care of yhat
Chris
Mayim left the show. Why do we have to hear bad things about what the company was “going to do anyway”. I think that’s stirring the pot!
Debra
I loved her hosting!!!! Her voice was clear n easy to understand! She will b missed
Nancy
I loved her and not a fan of Jennings!
Claudia Boozer
I’m perfectly fine with her being gone! I like Ken & think he deserves the right to be the only host. As to using old questions, no problem! Those who complain probably still couldn’t answer them. I know I can’t remember them! Good luck, Ken!
LN
Well that does it… I’m done with jeopardy for good!! Mayim was great.. sick of Ken’s ego and insertion of himself into every aspect…(cut first person out of his vocabulary and he couldn’t talk) recycled questions? Just run reruns. After YEARS as a faithful watcher… I’m DONE
Karen
I loved Mayim’s personality and I like Ken also. I thought it was a nice change up!
Come on people, get a life!
It’s a game show!!!
Lynn Bowen
She was our favorite. Sorry to see her go. Please bring her back.
Kathy
While I like Jennjnfs more than I used yo I think it was refreshing to have the hints changing up ftom time to time.
I think Bialik added some colour and life to the show.
I will definitely miss her.
Nick
Mayim is horrible. Her forced laugh at things that are not funny is very annoying, she does it for almost every question. She is to slow reading the answers and responding correct or incorrect, her games almost never finish the board in single and double Jeopardy.
Glenn
I am glad that she is not coming back, I think Ken does a better job and hope that he will continue to be the host
Leticia caceci
Thank God she is gone for good this time. Ken 😀
K c Schlue
I love her, and I guess we’ll have to find something else to watch in the evenings during the week. Maybe I can find double wheel of Fortune episodes.
Paul Fox
I think this is a Huge mistake!!! I think Mahim is without a doubt the best!!! Ken is good but I like Mahin Better!!!
Margaret
Finally, this has been a rough ride. She has too much baggage and does not have a good fit with personality or dedication. When she is hosting, we turn the TV off.
FrankT
Watch the first episode of Jeopardy with Trebek as host on YouTube. You’ll see that it takes time and practice to become the perfect host of Jeopardy. Although I disliked Mayim’s hosting, I believe she needed a few more years hosting and she would have got there eventually. Jennings is just better at staying low key. I watch Jeopardy for the questions not the personalities. The host should not detract from the gameplay. Bialik detracts, Jennings doesn’t.
Ron
Bring her back when the strike is settled. She is a good host!
Kymm W.
I adore her. I’m so sorry she’s gone. I thought she was a very good host. Ken is growing on me, but I prefer Mayim. Alex left very big shoes to fill and I think they’ve both done a very good job.
June
I don’t understand why people are condemning Ken for continuing the show. He is an author and game show host, not an actor, past or present, as Mayim is. He is extremely intelligent and I like his personality, repour with the contestants, and his quick thinking. KEN was Alex’s choice.
Doris
YAY!! Ms Frumpy is gone from Jeopardy!! I love Ken Jennings! The show is all about the contestants, and Ken lets that be the main focal point!
Elaine
I’m so glad to hear that. I quit watching when she was on.
Ken Slate
I now can watch Jeopardy all the time. I never watched when the other host was on. Don’t want to say her name. Ken is like Alex personified. Yeah!!!!!!
Karen
I have missed Mayim from the day that she was not on the show any longer. I think she has a lovely personality and has a great way of making people feel comfortable. Her comments were always upbeat and positive and made the show very enjoyable. Ken Jennings is a good MC but I just prefer the bubblier personality of Mayim and I really am going to miss her.
Novell
I like Ken as the main host because he played the game well and still holds the record for most wins. Not only this, he loves the show like Alex did. He also was great friends with Alex and showed true emotion for when Alex passed. That’s why I think Ken should be the main host.
Carolyn
She’s the best. I stopped watching when Jennings came on. Don’t like him at all
bob barrett
Yes this is great news. My wife and i cringed every time she was hosting one of favorite game shows.
Roxanne
I’d rather have Ken Jennings any day of the week I didn’t really care for the girl that was hosting I like Ken Jennings cuz he keep it interesting he talks to the contestants and he was the right pick for Jeopardy at the Alex
Granny C.
I am well satisfied with this good news 😊
I will start watching jeopardy again – I really missed it too!
Harry
Mayim brought so much to Jeopardy!
She was professional yet witty & was at ease. Ken Jennings is arrogant & stiff. How could this all happen? Is it because she is female? After Jeopardy being my favorite show for years. I will no longer be watching & will let the sponsors know this as well
Bernard chester
Drop Jennings
Greta
I am so relieved that she’s gone. She made mistakes that cost contestants points and even one win, and was too smug to admit it and be corrected. It I sn’t gender discrimination if she can’t do the job.
I personally wanted Levar Burton, but Jennings is excellent and he gets better and better. He is warmer than she was and he’s skilled at accepting correct answers that may differ from the scripted ones, something she didn’t have the imagination or knowledge to do. I’m back watching again!
Sue
I prefer Ken. I found Mayim’s mispronunciations distracting.
Bob
Ken Jennings is a pompous stiff. It is obvious that the producers have worked with him to get him to loosen up ( I notice he no longer puts his finger tips together while pontificating) but he remains a stiff. He’s just not a naturally comfortable guy and will likely never be. Your old producer was but I understand that ship has sailed. Try to find that person.
Jill W
Ken was a little stiff in the beginning. He has grown more comfortable as the host, and I like his occasional snarky comments, as he may be one of the few who has the credit to do so–and it’s funny! He’s not being mean–just trying to be entertaining. I like him SOOOO much more than Mayim. I wouldn’t never watch when she was host. Couldn’t stand her schtick. Good decision to stick with Ken.
Linda
Nope, don’t want her to come back. She wasn’t good at it. Ken does a great job.
Pam
Ken, pleeeeeease! He is charming, witty, humble, empathetic and brilliant!! He seems to know all the answers before the contestants do and Mayim seems to be searching for the answers, hence the pause between answers and confirmation. Plus Ken was Alex’s choice and I defer to him!
Railynn
Mayim will be missed. She was awesome and had a great personality.
Melinda Lowell
No Ken Jennings is so much better. Please do not bring her back!
Angie
SO GLAD that Mayim is fone. I hope it’s permanent because let’s face it, she was TRASH.
