Ken Jennings' Podcast Co-Host Slams 'Idiot Opinions' of Those
Criticizing Him For Hosting 'Jeopardy' [sic] Amid the Strikes
Ken Jennings has been relatively quiet regarding the debate over whether
he should continue hosting Jeopardy amid the dual Hollywood strikes -- but
his Omnibus podcast co-host John Roderick certainly hasn't.
Jennings first started getting backlash when he stepped in for Mayim
Bialik -- who left during the last week of taping in May to stand in
solidarity with the Writers' Guild of America (WGA) strike. The issue has
only grown since it was announced that he began filming the upcoming
season earlier this month -- and that he would take over Bialik's hosting
duties on Celebrity Jeopardy.
In light of the social media ire, Roderick rushed to the Jeopardy champ's
defense after users with "idiot opinions" went as far as to call him a
"scab," which is a term used for someone who crosses the picket line and
works during a strike.
