Jennings' less tweetable problem with replacing Trebek is that he knows too many people in the trivia community who would become automatically ineligible to appear on "Jeopardy!" (if they haven't yet appeared) if he became permanent host. (Those people would have no problem getting booked on "The Chase"--it would just be for an episode where Brad or James is the Chaser.)
I do find it interesting that with Jennings' first day only seven shows away (or five new shows away) they have yet to announce who else are going to be guest hosts, since I assume that there will not be a permanent host until the fall and the beginning of Season 38. Dan Patrick's already said he's not interested, but Jeff Probst won't be doing anything until "Survivor" can go back up. And of course, there's the Clue Crew and Sajak could step in for a week or two.
