Buzzy Cohen for Next Jeopardy! Host

During the chat in the finale of the 2017 Tournament of Champions, Austin Rogers agreed with Alex that this tournament was spectacular in terms of fun and gave a shout-out to all his bartenders. Alan Lin also agreed it was the most fun he ever had, “despite looking like I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown half the time.” Alan let it be known that he would love to be a Jeopardy! cluewriter and Alex Trebek was relieved that he didn’t want to be the replacement host, or he “would have been scared.” He moved on to Buzzy, who deadpanned “Get scared.”

We think Buzzy would be great as the new host of Jeopardy! when Alex retires. He’s got great timing, just the right balance of cheeky humor and seriousness, and as Mr. Trebek said himself, he’s got style. Buzzy is…

    I think Buzzy Cohen comes closest to whom Jeopardy! is looking for.

    Please Jeopardy people with the knowhow and power to implement change, PLEASE CHOOSE BUZZY COHEN as the new host of Jeopardy. I know that Alex would applaud your choice, and I believe that Buzzy is the closest approximation to our beloved Alex, God bless him.

    I have watched Jeopardy every day for 25 years or more. Hire Buzzy. He is smart, very cute and a great family man.

    Off topic, Buzzy mentioned his mom battling cancer at home —so sad. I wonder if she got to enjoy the glory of his being in this tourney.
