I don’t dispute most of that (not sure about the attribution of ratings increase to the hosts, as opposed to say the factors that have gone into the number of super champions). Clearly I don’t like Bialik as a host, but that is not germane to the point here, which is the ambiguity around hosting

I see it a bit differently. Jeopardy built and maintained its level of consistency by being in a silo for decades. Same host, same EP, same director, etc. Davies, the current EP, comes from outside the silo and got a year to implement a new vision and measure results. And the results are
