Blogging from A to Z — the letter Q
Q is for quizmaster.
I have been a fan of Jeopardy! since it was a daytime show hosted by Art Fleming. I cried when Alex Trebek died.
And now I spend 5 nights a week watching Trebek’s heir host the game he once played. Who could forget Ken Jennings’ remarkable 74 day winning streak? Or his friendship with Trebek?
Don’t misunderstand. I like Mayim Bialik, she also does a good job hosting the show. But Jennings is Trebek’s heir, he’s the one with the long-standing relationship to the show, he’s the one most comfortable on the Alex Trebek stage. He’s the one I want to see when I turn on the tv and hear Johnny Gilbert announce: “And here is the host of Jeopardy!”
Watching Ken Jennings makes me happy.
I like Jeopardy, but for some reason don't watch it anymore. I don't watch much TV, so there's the reason! Nice Q!
ReplyDeleteYes, nice "Q". I was in the audience at one of the original Jeopardys (with Art Fleming) in June of 1971. I've been a fan from the beginning. I was not totally sure of Ken Jennings at the beginning but he has grown into the role. And, one of my high school/college friends was a one time Jeopardy champion about nine years ago.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I like how Jennings does the gig. I think it's fitting as he really couldn't win anything else. He might as well host. (And now he can't compete due to being associated with the show.)
ReplyDeleteI also like trivia. Our local community theater the Pearl. Now has Trivial night. I haven't gone.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
Trivia keeps the mind sharp.
