Anything interesting going on in the world?
I think it was said that Alex wanted Ken Jennings to follow in his footsteps. I can see that working out. He's already on the production team, immensely popular among Jeopardy fans and from his time on the show (more than 100 games total!) seems very quick on his feet as Alex was.Jeopardy without Alex is like Price is Right without Bob Barker, or Late Night without Conan, or Daily Show without Jon Stewart. I just can't really imagine being interested again with their new hosts, though I've heard good things about most of the replacements.

Jennings "joined the cast" of Jeopardy earlier this year so it'd be surprising if it was anyone but him.It's probably not going to be Jennings unless ABC's reboot of "The Chase" does not happen. It's possible he could walk away from "The Chase" if the Jeopardy job is offered but I hope Jennings is not the next host. He was boring to me. Jennings would be one of the few personalities that would turn me off of Jeopardy. I personally hope somebody like Meredith Viera or John O'Hurley becomes the next, albeit temporary, host of Jeopardy until a long term option becomes available.
Anyone get a new Xbox? This new generation of consoles doesn't seem too impressive, but I'm looking out for an Xbox Series X anyway.
Thanks for letting me know about "The Chase". Just watched an episode on YouTube and really enjoyed it!It's probably not going to be Jennings unless ABC's reboot of "The Chase" does not happen.
