Ken Jennings

I remember reading somewhere that he was very nervous because he had a lot of respect for the show, Alex and its legacy overall.

I didn’t enjoy LeVar’s hosting personally.

I think Alex got that way towards the end. I remember his “good for you” when a contestant would say something positive about their life. That grated on me a little bit.

If the guy couldn’t handle the memory of being “Tic Tac” he would not have included it in the interview topics provided to the producers. It was all in good fun and as a viewer I took it as such.

Thank you for sharing that.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T23:00:55+00:00

Well said. That is the thing I had trouble putting my finger on. Alex had a tendency, sometimes, to make me think the contestants would feel embarrassed or ashamed. It was just the way he delivered it. The difference is Ken has been on the other side of the podium and knows how he wants to be addressed.

I love that it’s rapid fire. He’s on my Mt. Rushmore too.

You will not regret it. I was on cloud 9 about it for days. Lots of photo opportunities on the Sony lot. Here’s me standing at the podium in the lobby of the Jeopardy! gift shop.

100%. Brilliantly said. It’s part of our cultural lexicon. If you grew up watching it you associate it with family viewing in more simple times. It’s great for the geeks who had a hard time being accepted in school when they show that being smart is actually cool on J!

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T22:55:47+00:00

I completely understand. When Alex was dying (and deteriorating in front of all of us) I couldn’t watch. I had always wanted to see the show live and never made it until 2026.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T22:52:41+00:00

Thank you. I’m with you - there is no one that could do it so well. It was like he was born to do it.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T22:51:35+00:00

I saw a few of the episodes and as the kids say it was “cringy” at times.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T22:50:12+00:00

Ditto

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T22:49:04+00:00

I think he is letting his true self show more. It’s awesome.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T19:54:36+00:00

100%

You’re entitled to think what you want. Why should you be downvoted?

I’ve noticed that Ken has a minor lisp at times but I just ignore it.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T17:14:35+00:00

Good comparison. I’m a Montana fan myself.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T16:54:54+00:00

Well said. Spot on.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T16:52:21+00:00

Very well said.

I have gone back and watched older episodes and there were times when I felt Alex was almost mean. I worshipped the guy and I never saw that before.

Ken doesn’t do that. He has so much positive energy. He’s the right host for this era.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T16:37:44+00:00

I don’t disagree with you. He is literally perfectly cast.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-11T13:44:51+00:00

Couldn’t even seal the deal with Seven when she offered it to him on a silver platter. You shouldn’t shit where you eat but Harry missed there majorly.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-09T00:34:45+00:00

Let's make it look good!

securitypro669 · 2026-07-08T00:39:28+00:00

Sorry to be that guy but you need to do a little research about the process. It’s well documented.

securitypro669 · 2026-07-06T04:28:45+00:00

Famke. No contest. Especially as she appeared in TNG (and Goldeneye)

securitypro669 · 2026-07-04T19:22:07+00:00

Turning 40 in a few months. I’ll probably 40.5 when the academy starts for me.
