Goldthwait went to Bishop Grimes, so I’d give him a go.Didn't feel this way initially, but now IMHO too much is made of question readers who inject little personality or substance into a show dominated by 61 answers and questions. They're all adequately serviceable and as long as Gilbert Gottfried or Bobcat Goldthwait isn't reading the questions. I watch irrespective of host.
I find I'm enjoying LeVar much less than I thought I would.Oof. LeVar Burton was awful on day 1. Mistakes galore. Hope he improves as the week goes on.
I actually thought the final from yesterday was easier. Not many well-known British scientists who died in 2018 and are interred at Westminster Abbey.I find I'm enjoying LeVar much less than I thought I would.
On a slightly-related note, was tonight's Final Jeopardy answer the easiest ever? Or is it just me?

What is the Phoenix?
Yeah, I missed both. Give me a baseball or Broadway question any day.I actually thought the final from yesterday was easier. Not many well-known British scientists who died in 2018 and are interred at Westminster Abbey.
Oof. LeVar Burton was awful on day 1. Mistakes galore. Hope he improves as the week goes on.
Sadly I have to agree.I find I'm enjoying LeVar much less than I thought I would.
I haven't had a chance to watch, but that is surprising. I thought LeVar would be a natural.Day 3 and LeVar hasn’t really improved at all. I feel badly for him. I think it’s a mixture of putting too much pressure on himself since he really wanted the full time gig and viewer expectations were through the roof. Doesn’t help he only gets one week of shows, which means he filmed all 5 on the same day. I browse the Jeopardy Reddit board and a contestant who filmed with him said they normally film three shows in the morning, take a lunch break and then film two more in the afternoon. On LeVar’s day, he had to do so many reshoots that they had to take lunch after the second show and filming went pretty late into the night. Not a good sign for him.

I’m not too surprised. I think there were better candidates but as executive producer, he has a lot of pull with hiring decisions. Not surprised he went with himself.
