"Chipper, charming and chill, Roberts is a buoyant and easygoing presence," USA Today's Kelly Lawler wrote, ranking Roberts sixth among guest hosts. "The GMA host brought the warmth of her morning show career into the "Jeopardy!" studio without making things too casual. Her rapport with the contestants was immediate and witty, and after a few pacing fumbles in her first episode she quickly developed a natural clue-reading rhythm. She is a bit more apologetic to contestants with incorrect responses than some of the other hosts, but her sincerity and quick consolations prevent it from being too distracting."
"Who else is enjoying Robin Robert's as Jeopardy's guest host this week?" one fan wrote. "Of course no one can compare to Trebek but when i watch her i see a lot of the same enthusiasm and investment in each game that he had."
"I'm excited to see Levar Burton host Jeopardy, but I'm actually also sad to not get another week of Robin Roberts, who was the first guest host I've seen run the show with anything like the warmth and grace that Alex did," a second person tweeted.
"The switch from host to host is an adjustment but @RobinRoberts
is doing a great job!" a third person wrote, with another adding, "Enough with the guest hosts … just give @RobinRoberts the job!"
"Robin you hit it out of the park. Your pacing along with your wit and engaging demeanor," another fan wrote. "Win win win. Still on team [Mayim Bialik] would love to see a female host. You ladies rock."
"Robin did AMAZING and did Alex VERY proud," yet another supporter tweeted. "Her genuine, heartfelt words about his spirit was all the feels and more." To catch the next guest host of Jeopardy!, check you local listings.
