    Terrific challengers tonight. Sri’s late run came up well short. Jeff could well have had a runaway had he not missed the two DDs, but I considered both to be tough. Thought the final was a cinch, maybe because I was in college in 1970.

  2. Kathy C says:

    Would LOVE to see Mayim become the permanent host!

  3. Rick says:

    That final question was only too easy, and I’m only surprised that just one contestant came up with the correct response. No, it wouldn’t have been Jungle Jim since no toy manufacturer ever came up with that action figure.

    Jeff was in the lead going into FJ but Im glad Kate won and not him.

  5. Lou says:

    Well we enjoyed Mayim’s hosting on jeopardy so far. Can’t wait to see Ken hosting next week. I also got GI Joe since there is a cartoon of that show based on the toy.

  6. Kevin Cheng says:

    So that is the end of Mayim Bialik’s hosting stint. And we’re excited next week that Ken Jennings will once again host for the remaining of 2021.

    • Rick says:

      I’m not sure that would be the end of Mayim Balik’s hosting stint. Perhaps she and Ken Jennings will simply alternate as guest hosts from now on, and that would be perfectly fine with me. In fact, Mayim Balik may well end up as the permanent host of the show.

      • Albert says:

        IMO, Mayim is the best host of them all, and I do mean ALL.

        • Rick says:

          It’s no secret that Mayim is actively vying for the permanent host of the Jeopardy game show, and I think they should give it to her. I mean, she definitely fits right in, and clearly enjoys being on the show.
