Why are smart people sometimes so stupid? You should never lose if you go into Final Jeopardy in the lead and get Final Jeopardy right. A more common error. Second place player not optimizing their bet to win (Generally betting too much).
Item 2. Who will be permanent host?
and that guy made a huge mistake with his bet, not sure what he was thinking. scared money never wins
and a really easy question on one of the easier topics.
It’s like staying on 16 with the dealer showing 10. Just hit you’re probably gonna lose anyway. Don’t understand why he bet thinking she would miss that topic.
As for guest host. I imagine it is Jennings to lose at this point. The game is really the star on Jeopardy and the host needs to blend.

of Jeopardy, and trivia in general, I'm always amazed about how many contestants don't understand the strategy of the game.

Shit, don't get me started about idiots at the blackjack table.
I think we'll see a big difference when Burton guest hosts over the summer.

I didn't think Rodgers was that bad. I also liked Anderson Cooper hosting.
It really comes down to how he feels about the category. It’s easy to say he made the wrong wager in hindsight when it didn’t work out.

He has come out and said that he wants to be the permanent host. He can also be the host of Jeopardy and play football at the same time. the entire season only takes a few weeks to film.
Whitaker is not a good fit and neither was Katie Couric in my estimation.
I did like Dr. Oz, Anderson & to an extent Aaron.
I would really be interested in Levar!
My wife and I watch every night and we play on our Alexa as well. We are playing a game of thinking of the best hosts and seeing how well the other person reacts.
My ideas so far have been James Corden (She likes), Eli Manning (She was eh on it because of Aaron), Jim Gruden (Not at all)....but I would love to see his reaction when someone gets a question wrong.....CHUCKIE!

I use hindsight because their are scenarios in which his wager wins him the game and betting lockout instead costs him the game. No one is making a snarky post about him if things turned out that way.

I think it will be Rodgers, personally. His and his soon to be wife's agent have connections to Sony as well as the exec producer of Jeopardy. It's one of the reasons they had Rodgers on celebrity Jeopardy a few years back.
I'd be surprised it's anyone but him or Ken Jennings.
His recent behavior should be all the Jeopardy people need to know - it should scare them away.
The truth is, being in front of the camera isn't easy - the game is what counts, and instead of some sort of stunt hire, a broadcast professional should be the way to go.
Their opinions may vary, but what this post-Alex, ever-changing host
experiment should show them is they need a pro to replace a pros pro.
Richards was the host after Jennings. I do think he was OK, but I liked Jennings and Cooper the best so far. He's not in contention because he guest hosted to honor Trebek and wants to stay behind the scenes.
There are a lot of really good Jeopardy players who are clueless about pop culture – of all eras. As a high school teacher, I've known plenty of first honor roll students who simply don't know anything about pop music, movies, TV shows, and sports, but they'd hardly miss a question in all other categories.
Dr. Oz was terrible. Mike Richards was the best. I don't think we've seen the permanent host yet, though, unless they go with the logical choice and anoint Ken Jennings.
