  1. She is simply a bad fit. Her demeanor is totally silly, self-promoting, arrogant, everything unprofessional. Also, her interaction with the contestants is abrupt, rude and uncaring.
    Sony has made a horrendous mistake keeping her on. At this time, we are not tuning in.

  2. Horrible. She’s acting at being a game show host and doing a terrible acting job. Why can’t she stand still? Ken is an excellent host but out of all of the tryout hosts I thought Buzzy was the best.

  3. She’s verbally dull – she’s constantly verbalizing with too many words the obvious next steps of the game that we of course already know. She smiles too much. She looks like Groucho Marx. Ken was perfect – witty, urbane, etc.
    Jeopardy should replace the interview segment with three live successive close-ups of each contestant, and have J. Gilbert tell 1-2 interesting things about each, with the host quickly commenting about one of the contestant’s reveals on the back-end. See?
