Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs guy) would be a fantastic host.

Geez, Anderson Cooper has regressed. Strange really. He seems uncomfortable.

Cooper is awful. I can't wait for the next host.

Cooper seems like a dumbass who feels exposed and is losing confidence along the way, therefore getting worse

Regressed from what? Being a spoiled, rich, mammas boy born with a silver spoon?

You shouldn't get to do another job when you already suck ass at your job.

Bizarre. I actually liked AC and thought he was pretty good at it.

He never did stop the constant pauses after people would get the correct answer. I earnestly think it's because like wolf blitzer, cooper had no idea what the actual answer was and kept looking to the judges for confirmation. I would still put him above Katie "Souless" Couric and Frank "mein fuhrer" Oz but dude was just lost out there. Seriously, why the constant pauses?!

He's barely average at best and only has his gig because he's the son of Jack Buck. Nepotism at its worst.

I thought Cooper was fine, but this drove me absolutely bonkers. Even obvious answers had two second pauses before he confirmed they were correct. You could tell the contestants were thrown off by it too.

I agree with all this. The weird part was almost all of his episodes ended early (there was a ton of time for the end credits). I'm not sure how, with all those pauses!

I haven't been watching consistently, but catching Bill Whitaker now.

He's damn near perfect.

He's got the mustache and the look/confidence down perfectly.

This guy really sucks. He's down there probably between Dr Oz and Katie Couric. His voice is smooth but so lifeless and dull. Doesn't have any charm or schtick.... feels like he's hosting a high school trivia bowl not a tv show

Whitaker is fine; he doesn't distract from the trivia. I'd never seen or heard of him until yesterday. When I heard his name, I kept thinking of either Bill Withers or Forest Whitaker.
There's something slightly off-putting about Anderson Cooper that I can't quite put my finger on - maybe it's that his meticulous makeup and perfectly coiffed hair make his overall appearance edge toward the uncanny valley.

Whitaker did a great job on his first ever jeopardy. (Hes from 60 minutes) very cool and measured. I think his relaxed, confident approach eased the strain on contestants. He did have a bit of a sibilant sound while he spoke and I noticed a but of a lisp, but still, he did fine.
Tibbers

I was expecting a bit more than what I got from Bill. He's basically human cardboard. He has about as much life as a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic rat. He's a damn robot. He has the personality of a box of hair. No thank you on this new guest host.

So tonight I knew a daily double question. I learned it from a fictional tv teacher, Mr Hand and Fast times at ridgemont high.

The answer was about the Platt Amendment.

Buzzy Cohen has been a great choice for the tournament and has done incredibly well so far. He's got just the right amount of energy. His pacing may be a touch fast, but seems to be perfect for the contestants and keeps the game moving. He might actually be my (surprise) favorite so far.

I woulda swept both the Stephen King and 20th century TV categories. And more than half of the other categories.

But yeah I like Buzzy.

Southlake

I like Buzzy too (Brother of Waldo).

He brings tons of energy to the show and his mechanics of being host are very good. His timing and consistency are spot on)

Perfect for Tournaments.

That being said, this weeks semi finals and finals are going to be excellent. Have not seen a dominant player. Perhaps 3 really good ones.

He didn't play particularly well, but we're pulling for Jason from ABQ.

Agree with this. Well done Buzzy.

I can not stand Mayim Bialik. She laughs almost every time she provides the answer and there's never anything funny.

Savanna hosting now. Doing well. Very professional, almost intimidating. Nasal voice can be harsh...

I love Savannah, but the vocal fry has gotten worse over the years. She's even acknowledged on Today that she sounds like a valley girl.

Yeah, bump this thread to remind when Levar Burton is hosting so I can put Jeopardy back on the DVR for that week.
