When you are in charge of an institution like Jeopardy!, and it essentially runs itself, you don’t want to be the one who makes the change that kills the show. In fact, executives want to be the ones who manage to breathe new life to the show, to “grow the audience,” or to at least make it skew younger demographically. Jennings doesn’t lose them any viewers, but he doesn’t gain them any either. Likewise, Geordi LaForge won’t attract any younger viewers to the show. They might be decent hosts, but if they don’t lead to an increase in viewers, they won’t be taken seriously as candidates.
