Bingo. Trebek was just another schmuck in a suit back in '84, former host of a succession of failed game shows. If the pressure of replacing Art Fleming in '84 was anywhere near as high as replacing Alex Trebek today, Trebek never would have been
Jeopardy! host in the first place.
They should have done precisely what
The Price is Right producers did: held private auditions, picked a new host, and went with it. This parade of guest hosts publicly auditioning for the job was a terrible idea.
