They made the host too much a big deal on Jeopardy and now no host can fit that standard. Heck, a 40 year old Alex Trebek today would have a social media history and not be hired.
Like I said in the other thread, if you're resorting to digging up podcast now? Forget it. Those are unfiltered.

This is a good point. Such a drawn out public search was a bad idea. They should have had someone lined up as soon as Alex said he was dying. They could have even gotten his public blessing, which would have gone a long way to avoiding controversy.
All the guests hosts did was create divisiveness. All these controversy articles keep saying Lavar was a fan favourite but I'll be honest, I thought he was quite weak. Although there are conspiracy theories that he was intentionally sabotaged by Richards. Same with Jennings.
