Frankly, I'm surprised duVernay would employ an American actor.
Good for her, though; it'll give me another project of hers I won't be watching.

There have been some great hosts -- Tom Kennedy, Jack Narz, Monty Hall -- but
Trebek is right up there with Cullen in that specific set of skills.
As a regular Jeopardy watcher I have watched all of the guest hosts and kept up
with the news about the show. I haven't allowed myself to get too emotionally
invested in who gets the job because the job is to be a game show host. If
Trebek had become unable to host in the 1980s the producers would simply have
turned to Tom Kennedy, Wink Martindale, or Bert Convy. I give Sony credit for
milking the situation for all it's worth in a marketing sense but the idea that
Jeopardy is sacred and a new host has to be a Nobel Laureate or something to
get the job goes too far. The open position was a game show host.
Now let's start a grassroots campaign to have LeVar Burton replace Pat Sajak as
host of Wheel of Fortune.
