Alex Trebek/Jeopardy Tribute Thread

I think Ken is best. I would actually think Brian Williams would be good.

 

I could see Trump disagreeing with the correct answer and giving the person points anyway. Honestly, a Trump game show spoof would be hilarious.

 

SJ scoop: Look for Mike Richards to name himself as host of the show he executive produces.

 

Won’t happen but Dan Patrick would fit well.

 

I don't know what his on-camera experience is, other than that short tribute on Monday.

Even then he seemed slightly cold. I didn't get a good vibe.

 

He has some hosting experience

Michael G. "Mike" Richards (born July 5, 1975 in Burbank, California), is an American television personality and producer. Richards is best known as the second host of Beauty and the Geek, and has produced numerous game shows including Weakest Link. Richards was until the end of the 2018–19 season the executive producer of The Price Is Right and Let's Make a Deal.[1] and was a candidate to host The Price is Right before Drew Carey was chosen.[2] Richards hosted GSN's 2012 revival of The Pyramid[3] and the network's 2016–17 version of Divided.[4] Richards left both shows in 2019 and joined Sony Pictures Television, where he has been assigned to Who Wants to be a Millionaire? as a co-executive producer with Jimmy Kimmel, who is also the host of the show, and Michael Davies for the eight-episode run in the 2019–20 season, while for the 2020–21 season, Richards succeeded the retiring Harry Friedman as executive producer of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!.’’[5]

Meaningless aside, my sister-in-law's cousin was the geek winner in season 2 of Beauty and the Geek.

 

Mike's smart as a whip, very quick and just slightly caustic like Alex was. He lives and breathes game shows and variety shows (Johnny Carson is his hero), and there's a reason he joined the show while Alex was still alive but had been diagnosed.

 

Aw, c'mon. The moment he hears "Double Jeopardy," he's drawing up a dozen lawsuits.

 

How often does a guy go from hosting to EP? Not talking about the stars, who usually have EP titles. I’d imagine it takes a much different skill set to be the guy in charge day to day.

 

LeVar Burton?
