Anyone care to guess the real reasons why?

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings have been alternating hosting Jeopardy following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek. Alex WAS Jeopardy and trying to fill his shoes was a tall task for anyone. We thought Mayim did it pretty well. She honored Alex as well as brought her own warmth to the show, not to mention she is VERY smart. That helped create confidence in her as a host.
Ken Jennings is a former champion who won and won and won some more. He did go on a tweet fest in the past about how awful Republicans are so he has not been a favorite to some. His personality is not the greatest and as far as warmth, that is not present in his personality at all. We will say he toned down. He is not nearly as obnoxious as he used to be, but in our opinion, Mayim beats him by a mile.
Here is Bialik's post on X.
Mayim Bialik (@missmayim) ~ Jeopardy! announcement.
Simple.
Polite.
Professional.
Warm.
Classy ... unlike the anti-Semites who hate her.
