Demanding ‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Want Major Changes For Season 39

The demanding Jeopardy! fans want major changes to take place in Season 39. Earlier this week, the popular quiz show announced that both Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik are the permanent hosts. They hosted much of Season 38 on separate occasions. Most fans are underwhelmed by the news.

So, they’re hoping that the show will listen to their requests for next season. They found new ways to improve the show moving forward. If their voice doesn’t matter when it comes to who should host, they will come up with other fresh ideas. Read on to learn more and to see what fans have to say.

Jeopardy! fans unhappy with the show

Both Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik are replacing the late Alex Trebek. Jeopardy! fans think the legendary show host is rolling in his grave. They think the show’s decision is an insult to the original host who commanded the show for 30 years. Some noticed that Jennings has a “weakness” when it comes to his hosting ability.

As TV Shows Ace previously reported, the champ has a need for speed. No, he doesn’t plan to become a race car driver. In fact, Jennings gave fans whiplash when it comes to the way he reads off the clues. They wish that he would slow down.

On the other hand, Jeopardy! fans think Bialik is too slow. They say that she needs to keep up with the pace of the show. They noticed that the Blossom alum would pause to listen for cues from production. However, they think it changes the natural flow of the game show.

Fans can’t help but notice how different the two co-hosts are from their predecessor. It’s obvious that there will be no one else like Alex Trebek. But fans still wished that either LeVar Burton or Buzzy Cohen ended up with the position instead. There’s no doubt that they would’ve been criticized for their hosting abilities.

WHAT. A. SEASON. So much happened, we're not sure we can fit it all in this 60-second video. But we're going to try 😉

Proposed changes for Jeopardy! Season 39?

Jeopardy! Season 38 came to an end on Friday, July 29. Ken was the one who closed down the show with his special message. Now, fans are offering their input for Season 39 on Reddit. They think the show will improve if production follows through on these changes. Here are just some of the things they have in mind.

• “Cannot wait for the next season… and if we’re FINALLY gonna get a new logo or a new think music.”
• “Increase the clue values! It’s been 20-plus years and we’re currently experiencing the highest inflation in 40 years…”
• “Jeopardy! logo includes headshots of Mayim and Ken.”

There’s one change that’s happening next season. The show will bring back the live studio audience. There wasn’t a studio audience for the past few years due to the pandemic. This will help improve the show’s obvious audio issues.

What major changes do you think should take place in Season 39 of Jeopardy? Or, do you think the show is fine as it is? Sound off below in the comment section.
