Ken Jennings won.

Now that the dust has settled it was pretty weird how hard they tried to usurp the rightful succession of host to Jennings. First they tried to replace him with that producer guy who subsequently got cancelled. Then they forced Ken to split hosting with that fat ugly jew broad.

Eventually Jennings prevailed but it’s strange they even tried to ice him out in the first place. Alex wanted him to take over, he was the most beloved pick by fans. What were they even thinking?

They didn't want to put a blonde hair, blue eyed highly intelligent person on our screens, Anon.

Why didn't they keep LaVar Burton? Racist fucks
>>
>>214492161
giving the people what they want is always the last resort nowadays.
>>
He said some controversial things on twitter and refused to delete them. That's why they didn't want him hosting. I don't remember what he said though.
>>
I liked A A Ron.

>>214492379
"you have to answer in the form of a question even if you are a nigger" was a pretty wild take from him. I can't believe he got away with saying that
>>
>>214492340
because they are idiots. They had Art Fleming, then Alex Trebek, then it all fell apart. LeVar Burton wanted the job but was pushed so far down the list he finally said fuck it.

Aaron Rodgers? Really?
>>
>>214492379

something about hoes and rakes. it offended a lot of women.
>>
>>214492430
that isn't exactly what he said, but it still triggered people. What he really said was, "You must answer in the form of a grammatically correct English language question", and everyone lost their shit.

Too many contestants of color were answering "Who be?" or "What it be?"
>>
>>214492467
Lol, lmao even
>>
>>214492224
I know that was certainly part of it but that weirdo faggot producer Mike Richards tried to steal the job from Jennings first
>>
>>214492519
He looked like a creep

This is not a mystery at all if you work in business.
Businesses don't operate out of charity and those that do seemingly perform acts of public good are either usually conatrained or have ulterior reasons.
And this applies to businesses worth as little as 300,000 USD, let alone multimillion valued IPs.
Entertainment media is a different beast too where they pander extra hard for goodwill points, but behind the scenes they're exactly the same.

If you can get away without signing someone from outside on and be forced to pay them a hefty salary businesses always go that route first.
And owners of IPs are always scared of the IP getting away from them, and other people also want to secure their ownership over something at the same time.

Why was Blossom fired anyway?

PLEASE I need proof

Who wins: prime Wes, prime Ken Jennings, or the tranny?
>>
>>214493901
Big Bets James

Is game show host gig the best job in the world? Several million a year to read off cards?
>>
>>214494252
It was back when you could tongue kiss contestant's wives and daughters.

Ken Jennings used to browse /tv/ and has said some alt-right dogwhistles throughout his podcast
>>
>>214492379
>I don't remember what he said though.
It's a funny joke
>>
>>214494252
>multiple episodes filmed at once so it isn't actually a daily job
>basically a lifetime gig if you get one of the major gameshows, ultimate job security
There's a reason they tried so hard to force that jew woman or the producer into the spot first
>>
>>214492161
They were furious that a straight white male is still the host. You know they waned some quipy queer fat dyke or something as the host.

Kenchads stay winning
>>
>>214492161
>What were they even thinking?
that just giving the gig to a dorky fucking white male would have been PR suicide, going through the motions of considering "diverse" candidates before circling back to who they probably wanted in the first place was 5D chess that saved them a ton of trouble

>I only browse...
ken, don't you have tapings today?
>>
>>214493844
Who cares? The first thing out of her mouth when she took over the job was that she was jewish. Like, for fuck sakes....at least Trebek had a fucking personality.
>>
>>214494359
yeah they look like real fucking geniuses
>>
>>214492161
Jeopardy is aggressively woke now. How many disgusting trannies have they had on? How often do they insert woke talking points in their clues? How many personal stories the contestants tell and Ken's Millennial stereotype responses promote woke storylines? Can't watch anymore. When entertainment makes it clear the creators hate you, I'm out.
>>
>>214492519
This. The producer simply took advantage of the situation. It was simple greed.
>>
It should've been Adam Carrolla
>>
>>214493969
James already choked to Ken in the GOAT tournament.
>>
>>214492161
It was 2020-21, the height of that weird White male bashing era. They were desperate to get Geordi LaForge or the Big Bang theory chick even though Trebek himself thought Ken should be the heir - his widow even gave him Alex's cufflinks to wear for his first temp hosting episode.
Might be an unpopular opinion but Ken is far better than Alex ever was.

>The halftime point during every episode where Alex would interview everybody and use his Canadian passive-aggression to vaguely insult all of the contestants and completely get in their heads and they would always get flustered and scores would noticeably drop after he did it

There will never be another
>>
>>214494323
lol thats such a good line, with jokes like that you know he can riff with contestants
>>
Ken's hosting is too impartial and he tries to one up the contestants whenever they don't get a right answer.
>>
>>214498027
>too impartial
I don’t think you know what that word means
>>
>>214498008
>good line
What's the joke
>>
>>214498127
Nobody asked retard
>>
>>214497861
good point. ken is a woke Millennial and gives them all head pats.
