obwnn:
a: Jeopardy! is frequently carried by the O&O's or affiliated
stations as WNN [1]
b: Jeopardy! is always on topic
[1] not in my current area, though, where it's carried by WDIV,
an NBC Red Network station
background: The long term host of Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek,
died a few months ago.
The show has been using "guest hosts" while they all try
figuring out what to do in the long run.
At the moment, Ken Jennings is finishing up his (3rd?)
week, but that's about to come to an end.
They've announced a series of upcoming "guest hosts", most
of whom are kind of "yeah, we'll see...", like Anderson Cooper [2]
and Katie Couric. Umm... well, maybe..
[2] yes, *that* Anderson Cooper
But one name they've announced has the Jeopardy! watchers,
who tend to be grounded in reality firma, going apeshit.
Sit down:
It's... Dr. Oz.
Yes, really.
Good article ripping this decision to shreds:
