How Is He Doing As A Host?

There have been mixed opinions on how Ken Jennings is doing as the host of Jeopardy! Some feel as though he is doing a great job. However, Ken was looking to Drew Carey to have his back. Ken knows that he has some struggles when it comes to hosting the show. He was not supposed to be the solo host of the game show. However, he has been doing a fine job at it and fans recognized that.

 “Ken is an excellent host and steward of Jeopardy. He has kept the show interesting and running smoothly, which is impressive in normal circumstances. And I think this alone is worth of a nomination. But he has done this when confronted with a seemingly endless stream of turbulence — the hosting search, the Mike Richards fiasco, Mayim’s firing, the writer’s strike, the endless tournaments, etc.”

  • “I hope I’m wrong but I’m not seeing a win for Ken this year,”
  • “Normally, I would say he is a lock to win. But the fact that Pat Sajak has retired (kind of) after so many years at Wheel would suggest to me that the voters will want to honor his long career.”
