the beauty of lavar burton...is that his voice is part of our viewing culture...maybe they are trying to void of us Alex voice.

LeVar Burton is a talented actor and host. Alex was iconic, but he's gone. Who knows who they will select as permanent host?the beauty of lavar burton...is that his voice is part of our viewing culture...maybe they are trying to void of us Alex voice.
Alex is iconic because he was very neutral...much in the same manner as Walter Conkrite until the vietnam war....folks want neutral viewing....in my circle here on the Sun Belt....65 and older...folks who I use to share quips with about jeopardy and how we did, no longer watch...they are basically put off the hosts and indeed as you grow older it is hard to have your brain function and recall any response, let alone the correct answer, as in last night. I could not recall Cecil but went with milo...knowing what the two movies titles. I even know the Olivia De Haviland trivia answer, but could not recall Cecil..I stuttered with my wife all the answers around Cecil but cluld not recall...here Jeopardy is on at 3:30 and aimed at the massive retirement community.LeVar Burton is a talented actor and host.

Whoever it is, I think we all will remember Alex.
The pause is most likely them checking with the judges on a borderline pronunciation or slightly "off" answer. Even Alex would do it once in a while, but not too often. Ken and Mike would know the judges' standards better than pretty much anyone (heck, Mike Richards might've been involved in setting those standards), so they'd probably only need to do it as often as Alex used to. Other hosts might need the practice, but in time it should drop off.Anderson Cooper is okay for me, but wouldn't want him long term. The thing with him that I'm really not a fan of is how there is a fairly long pause between the contestant answering and him saying correct. I noticed it somewhat with Aaron Rodgers, too. Maybe they are waiting for some kind of signal to confirm? It breaks the pace of the game to me. Didn't notice it with Ken or Mike Richards, either of whom would be my preference for the permanent host out of the ones we've seen so far.
I'd expect Burton's Jeopardy voice to sound much like Geordi LaForge than Reading Rainbow. He's a talented guy with a bit more breadth to his career than that one show.so is Cooper’s, and he doesn’t talk to us like we are 3

Many people appreciate his commitment to the importance of literacy.Trust me, it wasn’t Roots or Star Trek fans trying to get him on the show.
Oh, there are most definitely Star Trek fans trying to get him on the show. Star Trek social media has been plastered with this stuff for months.Trust me, it wasn’t Roots or Star Trek fans trying to get him on the show.
Not a fan. He's too quiet for me.What do people think of the new guest host this week, Bill Whitaker?
He seems to have a rather lackluster personality to me, so far. I think he's been doing the news for too long. They tend to have to be very straightlaced when delivering the news. Maybe Bill will loosen up some, and we will see more personality.
