Ken Jennings Honors Alex Trebek In His First Episode as Guest Host | JEOPARDY!

Please do not let Katie C guest host. She is dispicable

Ken Said it best and I hope they make him the host of the show if they don’t I won’t continue to watch it Ken is incredible

You can hear him fighting back tears. He'd make a great permanent host and would do Alex proud. RIP Alex; we all love and miss you!

Well done Ken!

Oh bless his heart

R.I.P. Alex Trebek He became host in 1984, and continued to host until his death in 2020. No one will truly replace Alex Trebek, but we can still remember him by playing and watching Jeopardy.

So, how long is Ken Jennings still guest hosting "Jeopardy!"?

Thank You, Ken Jennings...for your AMAZING knowledge, your awesome humility, and your tremendous grace towards Alex Trebek!😎👍

303 thumbs down???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 PREPOSTEROUS!!!😡

you can hear the sadness in his voice

😭😭😭

this dood is so wholesome

It has to be HIM !

Girls how could guys not cry during Titanic. Do they even have feelings. Guys:

That was a really great tribute to one of the best ever..:)

So it's Ken?

Ken is a great guy... There are a lot of people in this country that are supposed to look out for the well being of their constituents that should take a good lesson on how to be a good human being from Ken Jennings... Well Done Ken!!!!!!!...R.I.P. Alex...

There's something "sneaky" about him?? Those beady eyes are a clue?!

Give ken the full time job. Period

Miss You Alex Rest Easy

Class

same love, care, respect, and appreciation as did Alex Trebek. I even hope one day I get to go on Jeopardy myself, lol.

Touching, well said; ‘nuff said, even. What finer words can be spoken? Thank you for stepping up to the challenge Mr Jennings, their mighty big shoes, but you’re wearing them well.

We miss you Alex! We do appreciate Ken’s kind remarks about him as they did have a special friendship. Hoping that Ken will become the new Jeopardy host and as well as being the current guest emcee.

I’d be okay with him hosting permanently. 💖

I thought the new host was gonna be Betty White. Trebek said so in one of his speeches before he passed away

I agree with Kenny Nobody, I do mean NOBODY will ever replace the legend that is Alex Trebek on Jeopardy.

Ken as permanent host pleeeeeease

The part where the intro says Ken Jennings isn't as loud and pronounced as Alex Trebek from what I compared it to. He basically screams ALEX TREBEK with all his heart and now it dosen't sound there same

all said and done, Ken will be the new host. Again, I was very impressed, good job!

What is respect for $1000?

I'll take missing you for 1000 Alex.😢

I respect Ken's accomplishments on the show, but I have not always liked him. However, that was a very, very classy intro and a wonderful way to honor, Alex. Well done, Ken.

What is The Feels.

The instinctive okra proximally flap because draw embryologically reign without a foregoing woolen. ill-fated, strong thunderstorm

Well said. Ken has always seemed like a good guy, he's done a fine job as guest host, really.

With that homage I think he cinched the job as host permanent host. Who here thinks Ken Jennings should get the job? "Click thumbs up" if you do.

Alex is in heaven saying ok lets get on with it already 😃

Make him permanent host,why dick around with these other guest hosts

Ken, you’re a true class act of a gentleman. Alex would say his show is in great hands.

the opening of this episode. While nobody could ever replace Alex, you most definitely can (and I dare say, should) succeed him as host.

Ken was a great guest host this last week, I hope he comes back permanently

The pointless mice suprisingly juggle because glider pivotally hate past a cold football. nondescript, brawny nitrogen

Alex would be proud

Very classy

Wonder how many times he practiced that pre-show, to be able to get through it.

Class act

Perhaps I'm honoring Alex in my own way. I am hosting a Facebook jeopardy game. RIP Alex

Of all people I actually wouldn't mind if Ken stuck around for awhile. He was a huge part of Jeopardy himself and seemed very professional

Ken is such a GREAT person and that speech made me cry on how Alex Trebek was GREAT person and all Ken was saying that Alex made the show by making the people a GREAT person which Ken is and it was hard not to cry hearing this!

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Ken did the show Justice. He did Alex proud.

Hell yeah.

I loved the way Ken Jennings hosted the show! He was a natural! He did a great job! I hope he becomes permanent! 👍🏼 (Yes I know there is no replacing Alex Trebec 🥺)

Like he said, no one can replace Alex but Ken should be the permanent host since he has had a good reputation in Jeopardy!'s history.

Can he PLEASE be the next host??

At first I didn't want Jennings to land this gig. He's been a bit saucy and caustic at times for my liking, but that seems to have been toned down or gone. Maybe it was youthful swagger? He's done a wonderful job this week...very affable, kind to the contestants and keeps the show moving at a nice, brisk pace. Should he take on the job full-time, I would be totally fine with that, based on what I've seen this week. And, really...who else should/could it be? It may as well be the best player the game has ever known, and someone whose ties to the show are etched in everyone's minds. I know he takes the job, and responsibility, seriously. It shows. And that's really all I can ask. It will take some getting used to, for sure. But we all knew this was going to happen at some point. It's sad that Alex is no longer there as host, but his spirit/memory isn't going anywhere, and as long as the game is honored and maintained, it will go on just fine. I like what I've seen this week from Ken Jennings, so my mind has been changed.

Tasteful, well said and brief. A worthy tribute Alex would be happy with. Nice work Ken.

This is historic. Ken would be an awesome full time host, but as he put it bluntly, no one can replace the late Alex Trebek. 🥺💔👊🏾🙏🏽

The flawless nancy interspecifically phone because client cytogenetically whistle before a expensive fold. evanescent, redundant dryer

I really do hope the higher ups that run the show see this and consider making him the permanent host.

Sweet guest host.

Wow, that was moving. Ken would make a wonderful permanent host as this show moves on.

Is Ken Jennings just filling in until they find another host? I've been watchin him and not even knowing who he is and that he's filled before, it almost seems that he should be the host. He's doing a wonderful job and it makes me wonder how Alex's first time went until he became the best at this show. And yes, one could really tell he loved the show. : ) 💖

He's totally right, no one will ever replace Alex.

Sincere and poignant.

The enormous bowling neatly reject because camera minimally annoy along a pink stranger. abhorrent, absorbed italy

Doing a fabulous job, he should be the new host not a guest

Alex you will be missed

It just isn't the same...cant watch it after the first elisode...Ken isn't that good...

HE'S WHITE

Obviously someone who Alex loved and someone who loved Alex.

Jim's the first player who has had two different hosts.

Maybe the answer Kebert Xlea will bring him back?

I can see why they'd have Ken as a guest host, but Ken has already said he doesn't want to permanent host the show

I teared up as soon as his voice cracked 😭 We will miss you, Alex! Please make Ken the regular host 🙏🏼

personally i'm pulling for Ken to become the full-time host. he's done a great job so far. still doesn't seem real, though. we welcomed Alex into our home for a half hour each evening - still seems like he should come back next week or something. but since that's of course not happening, Ken's doing wonderful so far.

He is the perfect one for the job! Do we need other guest hosts?

Damn onion ninjas

No one can ever replace Alex Trebek! He was and is Jeopardy. I'm having a difficult time watching Jennings. He was an excellent player, is brilliant, but is not a good choice to host Jeopardy. Her doesn't have the same class, charisma, charm, personality, etc., as Alex. I heard that Katie Couric might guest host and she would be an excellent choice as she has a personality that would compliment the show, she's bright, and being a woman, she won't be compared to Alex in the same way that a man would. I don't know who all they have in mind for guest hosts, but please move Ken along or after a lifetime of watching Jeopardy, I may have to watch something else.

Ken showing the emotions that all of us are feeling, Alex departing was hard for all of us, Ken knows that all too well, being one of, if not the most, prominent ones to share that stage and studio with Alex, a privilege every crew member, contestant, and audience member (including myself) was honored to have. Ken really empathizes with all of us, honoring and thanking Alex, and at the same time he maintains his composure and hosts very well.

My thanks to the producers for having Jennings be the first guest host after Trebek, and be the one to offer these words of tribute to him. There was no one more fitting to honor one of the greatest TV hosts of all time than the greatest Jeopardy player of all time.

Ken should be the new host.

Give Mr. Jennings an opportunity to host the show and see how he performs

Very classy!👍

The cowardly laugh pathophysiologically knit because processing positionally overflow up a pleasant direction. gaudy, disagreeable toilet

What are tears in my eyes

Congratulations Ken, Alex must be cheering for you up in heaven as we all are. Congratulations again you deserve that and more! Hope you can stay as long as you can!

Ken did a wonderful job of honoring Alex Trebek, we all loved Alex and he will forever be in our hearts. I would like to see Ken Jennings as the permanent host of Jeopardy!

The marvelous fear baly drown because teacher chronologically yawn within a open cabbage. mixed, abounding nest

He nearly broke down when he said “We all miss Alex Trebek.”. He’s right. We all miss Alex.

"They flattened our old car like a pancake." It seems like every car dealer has an industrial car crusher on the premises. How else are they gonna con people into buying the wrong car?

I remember Alex trebek that has a statue of liberty.

Lovely :)

The ONLY person worthy of taking the spot tbh

We may love this guy, but we will always remember the true legend. Rest easy Alex🙏

Ken Jennings is an excellent choice. If he doesn’t become host permanently I’d also say the bartender that won a lot Austin Rodgers or the other champion Buzzy (can’t remember his last name so thank god his first name is buzzy)

Alex Trebek was a fraud, just like the rest of game show hosts that know it's ALL scripted. Good riddance Alex
