Is it normal i'm extremely concerned about the future of jeopardy?

I've been so worried lately! Jeopardy has been hosted by Alex Trebek for over 30 years and he's the only host I've ever known. He feels like family to me. He's nearly 80 years old and I believe I will outlive him. I don't think I can bear to watch it being presented by anyone else. No one else will ever be up to par. I feel I'll be inconsolable when the time comes.

Is it normal to feel this way?

    Here is a worrisome thought -
    What if alex's replacement is some dipshit boring-ass like how Drew Carey replaced Bob Barker?
    I mean Bob brought life to the show where Drew is mostly indifferent, he has the same enthusiasm as someone who just won back their $1 on a scratch ticket.

    • Funnily, Aisha Tyler - a black woman - was Drew's replacement on Whose Line is it Anyway? making bubsy's point in his comment below pretty accurate.

    Alex Trebek isn't even the original host. Art Fleming used to host the show before him.

    • Like I said, "he's the only host I've ever known". I'm not old enough to remember the first one.

          Get your facts straight.

          Brett Kavanaugh's mother had sex with Colin Kapernick's mother.

          Next time do a little research

    Considering modern social agendas:

    10:1 odds his replacement is a woman.
    100:1 odds his replacement is black.
    1000:1 odds the show gets canceled after it's first season.

      Does it bother you in some way, when the host of a TV game show is not a white man?

        What bothers me are the forces behind making sure his replacement is not a white man.

          Don't you have anything more productive to do than ruminate over the lack of white men on the TV in your mixed race, equal rights homeland?

            Not sure what the point of your comment is. Was there something you wanted to discuss?

              I asked you a question. I guess by your inane reply here that the answer was no

    When Bob Barker left the price is right and Drew Carrey took over, it changed the dynamic of the show. It took us a long time to adjust to his sometimes fat and sometimes not terrible humor. That show is more about the pricing games than the host itself though.

    Wheel of fortune would be watchable if Pat Sajack wasn't the host. Anyone. And I mean anyone would be an improvement. Mario Lopez? I am looking at you.

    As far as Jeopardy goes I think Kevin Spacey is a natural replacement for Trebeck when he finally throws down the daily's and calls it quits.

    Sure Kevin Spacey is gay, and flirts with the young ones, but how long do we need to keep talent in purgatory? Was he charged with a crime? I think he would be the perfect succesor to Alex Trebeck.

    And let's be honest, we all know Drew Carrey and Pat Sajack have underage men in their respective closets.

    Bob Barker retired from the Price is Right after 35 years. The show continues.

    People retire. People die. Life goes on for the strong. Get over it, it's just a frickin' game show.
