Who could possibly replace him?


Or would they just end the show?

reply

Steve Harvey.

reply

Hell no. There is enough cheating that goes on with Family Feud. We don't need Jeopardy to become the new show for cheaters.

reply

Harvey? No, not a comedian. It should be someone dignified, but with a sense of humor, like Trebek. It should also be someone who, on-camera, at least, is not political.

reply

I don’t think he can talk fast & articulate enough. Plus, NO opportunities for “jokes”.

reply

I hope it's not going to be some unqualified person from liberal Hollywood.



Like Drew Carey on The Price is Right (not necessarily a Hollywood liberal but certainly unqualified to be a game show host)

reply

How convenient -- let's invoke " liberal Hollywood" at every inappropriate moment. Maybe Trump should do the job ! What an effing great idea.

reply

"liberal Hollywood" is redundant I know.

reply

What's your problem with Carey as the host? I've seen it a number of times since he's taken over the hosting of the show and I haven't seen anything outrageous.

reply

No problem with him as a person, he's just not very professional as a game show host.

Like someone said on another board; Carey seems like a guy hosting a "game show" fundraiser in a church basement.

reply

LOL. Yeah, when you put it that way I can understand. He is a bit of a goof.

reply

I'm almost certain they will continue the show, but for me as a viewer, it will have ended.

reply

He ain't the first, he won't be the last, and he was always going to retire sooner or later. I should imagine they'll hire a distinguished actor looking for a cushy job to sail into retirement with. All these gameshow jobs seem to go to actors now.

reply

There was a host prior to him so they will probably find a new host eventually. I wonder if there will be a few years before they relaunch though. I would be fine with a relatively unknown.

reply

Dan Patrick.

reply

I will repeat -- Dan Patrick !

reply

Have you ever watched the show Funny You Should Ask? It's a game show that I really like.

reply

Gotta be someone very smart
