Well, that’s great news, because I wouldn’t want to appear on Megyn Kelly’s Jeopardy!

Lame because Trebek stated publicly that he would mostly likely retire? Or lame because you wanted Megyn Kelly to take over?CasketRomance wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 6:18 pm pretty lame...really thought next year was going to be trebek's last year

I think the board can sympathize. We all know what it's like to endure someone's presence and wish they would just leave.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 1:24 amlame because i must endure him for another few years...no idea who that kelly person ismorbeedo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 9:35 pmLame because Trebek stated publicly that he would mostly likely retire?

We definitely need a "thumbs up" icon.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

Well, I'm glad Alex is sticking around.
What about Johnny? He's 94 now.

you can choose to read the transcripts instead, it really is a choice, you are just making the choice to do something you don't really want to do.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 9:13 pmopusthepenguin wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 10:44 amI think the board can sympathize.

Re: Trebek, Sajak, White re-up for two additional years
In 2022, I expect to see hundreds of clickbait articles about their supposed retirements.
In all seriousness, I expect to see a few more years out of both hosts yet. When Barker was in his last few years of TPIR I felt that he was frail, curmudgeonly, and forgetful (and that's even before I get into his alleged backstage tyranny). Trebek is 78 and Sajak is 72, but I feel that both of them are in good shape for their respective ages. I would have no problem with either man continuing to host past 80.

Re: Trebek, Sajak, White re-up for two additional years
Have to agree; I don't thing age by itself would be the issue. As long as they can do the job and ratings stay good, they should be able to stay as long as they want to stay. Johnny Gilbert is a case in point; I don't think anyone could legitimately make the case that his announcing skills have declined a bit, and he's 16 years older than Alex. I don't know that I would want a regular job at that age, but if he and Alex and Pat Sajak do, more power to them.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 5:00 pm In 2022, I expect to see hundreds of clickbait articles about their supposed retirements.
