Jeopardy Replacemnt

[Pucknut50]

Alex Trebek recommended Alex Faust as a replacement for him on Jeopardy. I think he would make a good replacement and its a win win since not a fan of him doing Kings games.

I swear I remember the same. Do have a link maybe?

A pair of another huge shoes to fill - even bigger than Bob's. No one can fill either's really but I think Faust would be a better Jeopardy host than PBP announcer for hockey.

I remember Trebek saying that a couple years ago and I remember Faust saying he'd be honored, but I'm not sure he'd leave his current gig for Jeopardy. I think most rumors has Ken Jennings replacing him at the moment.

Cool. Thanks for the link.

I can't stand Ken Jennings. He has the charisma of an earthworm. He would be a terrible choice.

Sounds like Faust to be honest

I don't have a problem with Alex Faust, but I do think he'd be pretty good hosting Jeopardy!. Better chemistry with the Jeopardy! announcer than with Jim Fox, that's for sure.

Haha. I don't think he's bad in front the camera.

Who will play Alex Faust on SNL?

The bigger question is who will Faust's foil be on SNL Jeopardy? Maybe Robert Downey, Jr.? And who will play Robert Downey, Jr.?

He actually looks like an earthworm. Granted a very smart one.

I like Faust with the Kings. He basically said no to Jeopardy. So, that is not happening. I used to love Fox. Now, it seems like he talks too much, trying to make a legacy for himself.

I like Faust doing the Kings games.

They're doing a rotation. So Ken Jennings to start, then other big Jeopardy names. Then I guess they'll settle on someone.

Was this a recent development? As of last year, Faust was still very much on Jeopardy's radar:

'Jeopardy!' to resume production Nov. 30; Ken Jennings is interim host

Trebek himself weighed in on a possible future replacement in 2019.

"It’s probably going to be a woman, somebody younger, somebody bright, somebody personable, somebody with a great sense of humor, so I nominated Betty White," he joked.

He then mentioned some more serious candidates, including CNN's Laura Coates, LA Kings announcer Alex Faust and TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz.

P.S. Since everyone's giving an opinion: I wouldn't mind Faust taking the Jeopardy gig and the Kings giving someone else a try at truly replacing Bob Miller...
