LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Jeopardy!' host Ken Jennings, himself a former champion, demonstrated his outstanding hosting skills on the show. His natural charisma was well received by the audience and proved to be a valuable asset to the game show. After the Masters ended with an amazing finale, fans asked him to return as a host to continue 'Jeopardy!' and replace co-host Mayim Bialik. However, Jennings recently revealed that he is taking a break from the show and fans are divided over news that he will appear as a guest on 'The View.'
Jennings, 49, leaves his fans with mixed feelings after the revelation of his guest appearance on 'The View'. Ken Jennings has been off 'Jeopardy!' for the past month and stunned fans with an NSFW joke he made on Twitter. He is not expected to resume his hosting duties until the end of the summer and will focus on new adventures. He recently celebrated his 49th birthday on May 23 and will be promoting his book '100 Places To See After You Die' in full swing. However, fans are skeptical about his appearance on the talk show and share their mixed feelings online.
Ken Jennings’s new adventures
‘Jeopardy!’ host Ken Jennings is all set to appear on the popular talk show ‘The View’ on June 13. The news broke through a ‘Jeopardy!’ themed Reddit forum which revealed that he will be a guest on the show. While some fans are excited to see him as a guest on an Emmy-winning talk show, others claim that ‘The View’ audience wouldn’t appreciate him and that he’s too intellectual for the show. One fan expressed his excitement adding, “Tape is in, rewound and VCR is programmed to record. Thanks for the FYI.” Another added, “I never thought about Ken on Hot Ones before. But now all I want is a Ken Jennings episode of Hot Ones.” One more user commented guessing his reason for the appearance, “Ken has a new book that comes out on June 13th. I’m guessing it’s more to promote his book than Jeopardy.”
While many fans are overjoyed, some questioned his decision to appear on the “worst show ever.” One fan wrote, “Is anyone that watches The View going to know who Ken Jennings is? Let’s be honest The View isn’t exactly the high intellect programming Barbara Walters envisioned.” Another one added, “Oh god, why would he go to the cackling hens? That’s the worst show ever created, bunch of rich woman crying about how bad life is and pushing fake news.” Another user expressed his opinion on Ken’s appearance stating, “I wish he was hosting Jeopardy! instead.” One fan simply added, "Poor guy."
