I honestly couldn't care less who gets the job -- with three exceptions: Dr. Oz (for reasons that have been discussed), Bialek (whom both the wife and I thought was awful; no timing and tended to make the game about herself), and Burton (who I missed, but who was apparently terrible and is definitely doing a Margaret Avery-level job of obnoxiously overselling himself).
I'm just stuck that there are three main cults in the country right now: the MAGAs, the Snyder Cut people, and the people who think Burton should get the job because he hosted a show about reading. Given the revelations about Richards's misconduct, I'm guessing they approach someone else and deny the rumors. If I had a favorite, it'd be either Jennings or Buzzy Cohen, the latter of whom I did not like in the past, but who won me over by knowing how the game and show work and keeping things moving. My main thought about Richards was that he was bland enough to make the game the star, rather than his own personality. It'd be nice to see a woman and/or POC behind the lectern, but I guess we're just not there yet. --Dave Sikula On Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 4:12:30 PM UTC-7 Kevin M.
