J! Guest Host news...
Chelsea Thrasher:
We live in the timeline where Michael Strahan hosts $100,000 Pyramid (very well I might add) while taking up quite a lot of Barbara Walters' onetime workload as a celebrity interviewer, and where Peyton Manning has been attached to a College Bowl reboot (that's being co-produced by Eli and Cooper Manning on top of that)
Aaron Rodgers is a lot closer to the end than the beginning and a lot less of a one-off stunt cast than it might look.

As compared to Aaron Wroggers? :)

Well played. :)
And good point re: it being a tribute to Alex. Aaron does mention being a huge fan of the show, and how it played into his decision.
I always saw him going into the booth or behind the desk for pregame/halftime shows, so IMO hosting is not the left-field choice it appears to be. I guess it's just kinda random since football season is still going on, and GB has a game this weekend.

As both a game show fan and a Packer fan, I'm totally in.
Re. Ken: Like most of the room, I felt he did a great job. He kept the game moving, read the clues fluidly, and was able to work some personality in here and there.
tvwxman:
I'm a huge fan, and I have 25 years of broadcast TV experience. Can I host? You know, just as a tribute to Alex?
We're treading lightly into gimmick TV here. Not a fan of the idea for Jeopardy.

Hey, why not Drew Carey? He got him on Wheel.
