Okay, here's an appeal to the producers of Jeopardy to name Ken Jennings permanent host. Or basically anybody but Mayim Bialik. I find her a little annoying, but MrsBlue can't stand her. And I mean can't stand, as in we can no longer watch the episodes she hosts. This is a real bummer. I am not proud to admit that part of the fun of watching for me is having someone appreciate my correct answers, so this is bad for my ego. I did come across some hopeful news when checking the spelling of Bialik's name. I found an article about Twitter outcry also expressing strong preferences for Ken. One quote nicely sums up why we don't have to feel bad for wishing Mayim out of a job. She already has residuals from two sitcoms, a current sitcom on the air, and all that sweet, sweet snake oil money: "She is not funny, she has more money than most TV personalities, she endorses a terrible product and should concentrate on other things rather than hosting Jeopardy which she is terrible at. Please bring back Ken Jennings!" Hear hear!
