It is moving again and will air Tuesdays at 9:00 now. The chasers will be different with just Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer remaining. Ken Jennings and Mark Labett are both gone, hopefully Ken leaving is a good sign he will be chosen as the permanent host of Jeopardy! (One of their stupid requirements was no other jobs). Three new chasers are added, Buzzy Cohen and two others I had not heard of.

How in the world does The Chase keep getting renewed at ABC? I guess because ABC thinks it is the new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire but what I can't figure out is why Mark Labbett is no longer on The Chase and will not returning for Season 3? Because Mark Labbett made Season 2 of The Chase a smash season because he was the new star of the season. My guess is that Mark finally got his wish and is planning to host his own game show soon. I can understand why Ken Jennings left the show but Mark Labbett really made the show shine and with the addition of the new chasers it will be the last season for The Chase

Does Ken Jennings leaving The Chase hint at his Jeopardy! future? (https://decider.com/2022/03/17/ken-jennings-has-left-the-chase-is-full-time-hosting-jeopardy-in-his-future/)
Less than a week after marking his 100th episode (https://twitter.com/KenJennings/status/1502446988381491200) guest-hosting Jeopardy!, Jennings revealed he has departed the ABC quiz show. His exit from The Chase has led fans to speculate that he could be working for Jeopardy! full-time.

I'm bummed that Mark Labbett won't be on the show anymore. His demeanor was what I looked forward to, and how the contestants responded.
