Look, Merv Griffin has passed away and Alex Trebeck as well. Harry Friedman has stepped aside and that opened the can of worms with Mike Richards, the opportunist. Johnny Gilbert will only be with us so much longer. Yes, they made Jeopardy the game show of all game shows. However as Alex stressed its not about him but an institution that goes beyond a generation or two. Yes, things can be tainted but also restored and respected. Because these gentlemaen are human and pass on it does not mean what they built has to die too. Maybe the best is behind us and we can look back with appreciation and nostalgia but it cannot just have the plug pulled. Honor them in a lesser era after them with respect for the product and legacy that was made. It's why I am fully backing my favorite contestant, Ken Jennings to be the eventually settled upon successor. Will he be as great? Heck no! No one will, but it is the next best thing that can happen with what we have. It is foolish to put the breaks on it because 'nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair', one meaningless joke published years ago. If asked not to Tweet or do social media over concerns he would oblige unlike Trump.

Why not? The media does it every 5 seconds.

Just make Trump the Jeopardy host and be done with it.
