NFT: Jeopardy this week

and it has been fun seeing the variety of guest hosts. This week has been less entertaining than many others because LVB doesn't seem very relaxed and because the champion seems so wooden. During chit-chat time, I wish LaVar would ask him, "When the question refers to a person, why do you insist on using the word 'what' rather than 'who'?"

I liked Mayim Bialik best, but I'm guessing she'd prefer a more stimulating career path. I keep waiting for a producer to ask me to guest host – perhaps they lost my number.

Burton tends to shout out very excitedly at random times that the answer is correct. Gives the impression that he is surprised anyone knows the answer to certain questions.

The champion does not say what. He always uses what’s. Sounds weird when he says something like “What’s Washington” when referring to the first President.

He phrases everything with "what is" been if it's referring to a person. He also tends to speak slowly and stall but at the same time, will give the bare minimum of an answer.


Burton is okay. Not really sure why many thought he was the natural replacement for Alex Trebek. Burton is okay and brings a bit of excitement and charisma, but IDK, he doesn't seem very...affable?

he has trained himself to take a lawyer’s advice and say as little as possible and always using the same phrasing. Always use the last name only unless requested by the host for the first name. That could screw you unnecessarily. That does take discipline.

Would be the replacement. Not sure why. Just what I imagined.

but he is awful at hosting.

He's pretty awkward like James was, but without the humor James had.
