FYI- The most recent Judge John Hodgman podcast featured a dispute about a
dented car door. One of those in the “courtroom” was a recent Jeopardy
champion who spoke briefly about his time on the show (one of the final
weeks with Alex Trebek).

We also didn't get together as a group after our taping, although we were all

I have some friends who were on "America Says" a couple months ago and won the 
bonus round - I assume eventually, they're going to run through every possible 
combination of people in Southern California.

I was set to be a contestant on "Master Minds" with Brooke Burns back in 
February 2020, but I discovered a couple days before my tape date that I knew 
someone who was working as a researcher on the show.

I hope it was obvious that I was being extremely tongue-in-cheek in suggesting 
Larry Elder.

In the late 1990s, when I was a runner in Hollywood, I quite enjoyed both
Larry Elder and Dennis Prager. Neither were as loud and shouty then as they
are now, nor were they as overtly political. They cared about social
issues, and I often disagreed with both men, but their shows were
entertaining and the hosts had charisma. They were funny and they weren’t
mean… people who disagreed weren’t “the enemy” back then.

When Barack Obama emerged, politics in media turned nasty. I don’t blame
Obama for it, but his rise to prominence was a clear tipping point. There
were always Rush Limbaughs and even Wally Georges (I adored Wally’s TV
show, by the way), but they were the exception, not the rule.

All this is my way of saying Larry Elder was a good host once, and 20 years
ago he might’ve gotten my vote. But now he’s just a bitter, angry old man,
and I have no stomach for that in politics anymore.

Re: [TV orNotTV] And the new “Jeopardy!” host is rumored to be…

2021-09-17 Thread Jim Ellwanger 
Dave mentioned Brooke Burns, who hosted GSN's "The Chase" and is now hosting 
GSN's "Master Minds." (The host of ABC's version is Sara Haines, probably best 
known for "The View.")

GSN's other originals are hosted by a variety of people you've never heard of 
(such as Dylan Lane on "Chain Reaction") and people who you may have heard of, 
but aren't capital-letter Game Show Hosts like most of the people on Dave's 
list (Joey Fatone, "Common Knowledge"; John Michael Higgins, "America Says").

Come to think of it, a lot of the people on Dave's list got their start on 
radio... Larry Elder for "Jeopardy!" host?

Right, its not that he was so bad *though I thought he was less good than

 I think some, like Mr. Wallace and myself, would simply say he comes across as 
being up to no good.  While technically separate from his ability to do the job 
(which is certainly in the top third of the guest hosts, IMO), it makes it hard 
for me to want to watch the show with him behind the podium.

Harriet Miers, W. Bush’s former personal attorney, and WH Counsel at the
time, whose job included reviewing and recommending SCOTUS appointees,
and whose
singular accomplishment was to unite Democrats and Republicans in what at
the time felt like a hyper-partisan environment in condemnation of her
extreme lack of qualifications for the job. The main thing I recall about
her is she described W. as the smartest man she ever knew.



Yes, this does seem like that, and perhaps will end the same way. The
article seems to leave room for a change of mind here, and it’s possible
Sony is running this up the flag pole to see just how unpopular it is.



If they stay with this, it will be hard not to take it as a giant “Fuck
You” to fans from Sony. What was the point of the whole public try out
period, if they were only going to pick someone who at best was mediocre,
and that only served to prove there were several candidates, some who
clearly wanted the job, who performed much better?

Could this be some penny-pinching nonsense, with Sony trying to get two jobs 
for the price of one (maybe one and a half)?  Because this guy has the name 
recognition of a stock photo and the warmth of wilted celery.  He comes across 
about as sincerely as old Les Nessman did in his acting roles.
