The bringing in guest hosts "for the foreseeable future" is the smartest thing they can possibly do. That way they will see who can actually do it and clicks with the viewers, instead of guessing who might be able to do it.

Alex Trebek Wardrobe Donated to Homeless Organization for Job Interviews

Feb. 9, 2021

Fourteen suits, 58 dress shirts, 300 neckties and various other items of clothing that once belonged to "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek have been donated by the show and the Trebek family to The Doe Fund, an organization that provides paid work, housing, vocational training, continuing education, and comprehensive social services to underserved Americans with histories of addiction, homelessness, and incarceration.

At the suggestion of Trebek’s son Matthew Trebek, a supporter of The Doe Fund, the clothing will be distributed to those participating in the organization’s “Ready, Willing and Able” reentry program to be worn on job interviews.

“During his last day on set, Alex extolled the virtues of everyone opening up their hands and their hearts to those who are suffering,” said Mike Richards, Executive Producer, "Jeopardy!". “Donating his wardrobe to those who are working to rebuild their lives is the perfect way to begin to honor that last request.”

Have you heard he's been criticized for being an awful host?

I wouldn't say he's that bad but he's not as good as Trebek. He does look like a total dork though.
