I think this is the only game show where fans have a legitimate chance of being on it - but only if they earn it. - loosilu Aug 20, 08:27
It would be like of Survivor did a search to replace Jeff, they tried out the Richard Hatch, Russell Hantz, Yul, Ozzie ... and went with Mike Burnett. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 08:24 5
- Or is it Mark Burnett? Oops. I know he created the thing, so it doesn't completely translate, but the point is, he would be a bad host choice. - Beryllium Aug 20, 08:41

I totally get why people who really dig the show may have feelings about how this replacement process is/isn't working. - Diva Aug 20, 08:18 2
- It’s be like when Jay Leno took over for Carson and instead of Leno or Letrerman, or Joan Rivers or whoever else had guest roles, they picked - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:22 1
  - Yep. And people were fascinated with the way it went down. -- nm - Diva Aug 20, 08:24
It's an interesting contrast to the Price Is Right transition. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 20, 08:13 1
- I was robbed of that too! -- nm - Mike Richards Aug 20, 08:16
don't make me cut you -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 08:13
I don't give a shit who hosts Wheel of Fortune or Family Feud. Jeopardy is different. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 08:11 9
- There's been so many Family Feud hosts... I may have hosted for a couple of years in the 90s! -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 08:14 2
  - The show has had six hosts: Richard Dawson, Ray Combs, Louie Anderson, Richard Karn, John O'Hurley, and current host Steve Harvey. - Spawn Aug 20, 08:33 1
    - Course the last 5 all took place under Alex’s single reign as Jeopardy host. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:36
- right -- nm - prayformojo Aug 20, 08:13 5
  - A game show is a game show. The only time I care is if they cross genres. A QB host would be something. Obama hosting wold be something. Otherwise... - Spawn Aug 20, 08:18 4
    - (not just a game show) -- nm - mud Aug 20, 08:22 3
      - Without Alex, it is relegated to game show. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:32 1

Consider it a tribute to cultural impact of the previous host? -- nm - JD Aug 20, 08:11
I really don’t. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 20, 08:11
Better than pandemic news, I guess. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:10
