Ken Jennings is a better host than Alex Trebek.
Ken’s voice is not Alex’s baritone. Producers should run his voice thru a processor. Ken’s timing and rap are fine, but his voice is too high and squeaky.
The search continues!
Congrats to Lucy on her win today. But it’s too bad tanay couldn’t get another win. Why did he even go for checkers? That dog wasn’t even sent into outer space. VJ the contestants should be more precise in their final jeopardy responses l since they have to pay attention to the key words in the clue.
For heaven’s sake, Lou, can you cut the players some slack once in a while? If you weren’t sure what the FJ answer was, wouldn’t you try to take a guess? At least the “Checkers Speech” also happened in the 1950s (although earlier), so Tanay’s guess was by no means ridiculous.
I don’t suppose it would do any good to point out that the clue did not indicate that the dog was sent into outer space, would it?
