no, this isn't news for a replacement of him replacing Trebek but just a thought. and I know that this may never happen in a million years even though I'm not a big fan of "Jeopardy!", now poor, poor Alex have been in some hard-life situations in the past (i.e. sleep depravation, his "run-in" with a female thief, mild heart attack etc,etc) but I was thinking if Alex ever decided to hang up his suit and tie for good I thought that John O'Hurley should become the new host of "America's Favorite Quiz Show" not only he has the looks but he looks like a very bright and smart guy and has that sense of class and personality for the show and originally I though that he would fit perfectly for Jeopardy! when I though that him hosting Family Feud would not be a perfect fit but I'm really not saying that he was bad at emceeing Feud he was good at that also on the short-lived revival of Truth from 2000 when I saw the GSN reruns. now I know he has a golf product line and a couple of broadway plays since he is an actor thru and thru but what do you guys think...

Should John O'Hurley become the new host of Jeopardy! when Alex retires?

as usual let me know by your honest votes and comments

L-A-T-E-R!

John O'Hurley might make a good Jeopardy! host. But my first choice would be Ken Jennings.

I'm assuming that he's smarter than O'Hurley and maybe Trebek himself since he won 32 or more games on the show until Nancy Zurg defeated him I heard.

If Alex Trebek does decide to retire, he will be very difficult to replace since he turned out to be the perfect host for the show that Art Fleming originally emceed in the 60s and 70s. John O'Hurley would be a great nomination to replace because he has experience hosting To Tell The Truth and Family Feud and brings class and humor to the proceedings.

that's what I'm talking about right there and I couldn't think of anybody else than O'Hurley, I really though that He would be a better fit for Jeopardy! back in 2006 when he started hosting Feud but again I'm not saying that he bombed emceeing the show he was good at it and I liked him on their. I just thought that he would be more suited for Jeopardy! than Feud since Jeopardy! was more "knowledge-driven" while Feud was more "Comedy-Driven".

He may be an interesting nominee for the role...I wonder if SNL will revive the Celebrity Jeopardy sketch if that happens?
