I’m not really on a campaign to get KO the gig (in fact I recently unfollowed him on Twitter because I just could not take another: “They’re going to kill Bob tomorrow at dawn unless you adopt him” tweet).

To help clarify just a smidge: the shots at Kondo (one that while I didn't take, I wholeheartedly endorse) weren't that she was monetizing her fame, it was that she was doing so by peddling the type of products that she would argue in her book you should get rid of.

With all due respect, a sentence like "whatever you think of Keith, he does not belong in the same sentence as Hannity" is completely dependent on your personal perspective and political leanings. I have several conservative acquaintances who would say that exact same sentence, reversing Olberm

I am going to push back on that. I’m sure there are lots of hyper conservatives who see Hannity as a hero and KO as a villain. That supports the assertion that both are too polarizing for the job, a claim I am willing to concede. But it is objectively true that KO is more qualified for the job of h

Well, if you frame it that way, I'll ease up a little on arguing the point. I honestly have never paid enough attention to Hannity to know whether or not he's got the brainpower to handle a job like Jeopardy...though I'd be willing to concede the point that he ought to be reasonably intelligent
