As far as the next host, it's not going to be Olbermann for the same reason it's not going to be, say, Sean Hannity: too much baggage. I don't know if there's the same sort of pool now of generic game show hosts that there was when Merv chose Trebek for the syndicated version, but it would be easy to imagine the producers wanting to go in that direction.
