'Jeopardy!' Fans Weigh in on Katie Couric's Debut
03/08/2021 11:43 pm EST
"Katie Couric did a great job as the #Jeopardy," one supporter wrote. They also noted the historic aspect of the occasion, adding, "It was awesome seeing a woman host on #InternationalWomensDay."
"Katie Couric is, unsurprisingly so, doing a fine job hosting. She's great," another supporter wrote. "And it was sad-hilarious to me to see all the conservative opposition to her on the Jeopardy! Facebook page. Again, unsurprisingly so.
"Well its HUGE and IMPOSSIBLE to fill shoes, but you (Katie) did a great job," a third fan added in a tweet directed at Couric. "I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly pleased with your first show. Good Job!"
"Katie Couric's first #Jeopardy episode was really good," a fourth fan added. "Excited to watch the rest of her shows!" However, not all the feedback was positive.
"As expected @katiecouric is an atrocious Jeopardy host," one detractor tweeted. "Me and the wife will not watch again until there is a different host. Terrible."
"Why is Jeopardy having celebrity hosts?" another critic added. "Trebek was against this sort of thing. Like he said, the contestants are the stars."
"I'll watch, because I love the game, but Katie was easily the worst of the three so far," one Jeopardy! fan wrote, comparing her to Jennings and Richards. "I'm already ready for the next guest hosts."
