I haven't allowed myself to get too emotionally invested in who gets the job because the job is to be a game show host. If Trebek had become unable to host in the 1980s the producers would simply have turned to Tom Kennedy, Wink Martindale, or Bert Convy. I give Sony credit for milking the situation for all it's worth in a marketing sense but the idea that Jeopardy is sacred and a new host has to be a Nobel Laureate or something to get the job goes too far. The open position was a game show host. Now let's start a grassroots campaign to have LeVar Burton replace Pat Sajak as host of Wheel of Fortune. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
