    The Fact it took them this long to even invite him to guest host is a crime, he's perfect for the role.

    So is he the new permanent host or one of the rotating?

    Either way it is awesome to see him back on screen. He has done so much for others and for children i.e. Reading Rainbow... aside from his title role of Geordi on ST.

    He is a guest host. People are expecting after this season has aired, they will publicly announce the new permanent host, although some people think that whoever they have chosen already knows about it.

    My god! He looks just like me! Only with more hair, slimmer, better dressed, better looking, and a couple shades deeper in hue than this here old, overweight white dude.

    Ok, fine! I wish I looked half as good. I look more like Ron Jeremy, when he was 10 years younger.

    I'm sorry I can't watch Jeopardy, "live". I have to settle for using apps like Kodi, and wait a couple days or weeks before new eps are available for viewing, here in Israel.
