The good news is I don’t think Jeopardy needs the biggest name to attract an audience.
That could be Mike Richards, but it could also be Ken Jennings, Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers or any of the other people we may see in the future.
Instead, it just needs to find an affable and competent replacement that fans like well enough to stick with.
OK, it’s probably not going to be Aaron Rodgers, at least not while he’s still winning NFL MVP Awards, but as a Bears fan, I can dream about him quitting to take up hosting duties full-time.
