I honestly thought Mayim BIalik and Aaron Rodgers were the best guest hosts and since the latter wouldn't be available for a few years still Bialik was the best option if she wanted it but this guy seemed like such a white bread nothing of a choice even before you start to hear shit like this:

Alex Trebek's likely 'Jeopardy!' successor defends himself on allegations he mistreated colleagues

Mike Richards, who is in line to become the new host of "Jeopardy!," is defending himself against allegations that he mistreated colleagues at another game show.

Aaron Rodgers habit of slapping the players on the butts when they answer a hard daily double would probably have gotten him in touble eventually.

(non sequitur)

When we first got cable, I had it worked out that I could switch channels and watch M*A*S*H from the time I got home from school until dinner. I thought it was a great show.

Now, working from home, I keep a TV on and TV Land shows 2 hours of it every day. It's a very different show as an adult. I now feel sorry for Frank Burns. I now think Hawkeye is an asshole. I now admire Klinger's persistence. I no longer loathe Mjr Winchester. Still think Radar was the best character on that show.

M*A*S*H is followed by Bonanza (which I never watched) but TV Land starts every episode of Bonanza with a warning that the show contains outdated depictions of social attitudes. It's at that point I usually switch over to poker or surfing or something.

(/non sequitur)

I always wondered what he had been up to since being busted for Oxy at the border.

Wait I’m being told it’s another Mike Richards

A favorite of mine growing up was Taxi. I saw part of one recently and while at times funny, it came across as mean spirited a lot.

Side note: I had a college history professor for numerous classes who claimed he was the basis for Radar in MASH. He gave us enough back story where the class mostly believed him. The author based pretty much everyone on real people and at times barely changed their names or hometowns. For a while the author did not want my teacher claiming he was the basis for the character but I guess they patched things up because it appears he has done some speaking tours as 'the real life radar'.

I didn't really care, he was in both the Korean War and Vietnam so he had tons of cool stories. Also he seemed old and in poor health 30+ years ago. Glad he is still around - looks pretty much the same.

Might have been easier, but when that balloon blows up (explodes) over birthday cake candles, it will be glorious.

Update: Mayim is getting a spin-off show

Bialik will host Jeopardy!'s prime-time and spin-off series, including the new Jeopardy! National College Championship, scheduled to air next year.

"We knew early on that we wanted to divide the hosting responsibilities and it became very clear that Mike and Mayim were the undeniable choices," said Ravi Ahuja, chairman of Global Television Studios and Corporate Development for Sony Pictures in a statement.

"Mike is a unique talent, at ease behind the podium and a double threat as producer and host. Mayim has a wonderful energy, an innate sense of the game, and an authentic curiosity that naturally represents the Jeopardy! brand."

Did I miss the LeVar Burton hosting week? He would have been my pick.

He was very good as the Jeopardy! host, but I think Mayim just edged him out.

He was very good as the Jeopardy! host, but I think Mayim just edged him out.

I honestly didn't think he was all that good. Just didn't seem as natural as some of the better hosts, although they did only give him one week as opposed to the two most others got.

I think they kinda want someone to stick around long-term too. I'm sure Levar's in great health but he is in his mid-60s.
