Enough vinegar and apologism and you can preserve anything, including jeopardy. You could even name a ship after it. Jeopardy; not apologism. We wouldn't want leaky boats to hold bad seed water...

maybe we could have another AI write some sort of tractable sarcasmo couched in woke double-speak 
you something with a few easy brickbat buzzwords that would be hard to object to and politically digestible
or else the keyboard warriors have a major twitter tantrum? 
i've seen where social media bots say jeopardy is racist
is it even worth saving?

Watson won't have the necesary condescending tone to softly slap contestants for foolish answers.

It's a great gig, but it's hard to get people who already have silly money to sign up for 4 days a month.  I'd love to see George Clooney or Oprah take a stab at it.

apparently some other nutter had the same idea...

Who is Watson?

I was confused by the speaking about himself in the third person... "I was thrilled to be selected..." Didn't HE do the selecting?

Yeah - that's good though.  Pretty much self-appointed anyhow.  It would be cool if they asked LeVar Burton.

Well, that was quick...

I'm a Jennings fan - his Twitter feed is marvelous, including his "feud" with James. But he doesn't have a lot of charisma.

I had hoped Ken Jennings would get the job; maybe he didn't want it, or the producers thought he had limited appeal...

2 hosts:
MAYIM BIALIK AND MIKE RICHARDS
"Richards will kick off Season 38 as the full-time host of the syndicated show, and Bialik will serve as the host of Jeopardy!’s primetime and spinoff series, including the upcoming all-new Jeopardy!"

I know - what's he doing guest hosting?  It's not as if he's overly burdened by any remarkable intelligence.  Dr. Oz wasn't especially appealing either.
