The bar has been set abysmally low since Dr. Oz, but all in all I'd say a pretty good debut episode for Bill Whitaker. Cool and calm. #Jeopardy

Viewers were less than impressed with Dr. Mehmet Oz's time as the Jeopardy! host (the television host appeared on the program in March). So, they were thrilled to see Whitaker do well for his hosting stint.

Every viewer has their own "favorite" pick amongst those who have served as a guest host on Jeopardy!. For some, Whitaker takes the cake.

I think Bill Whitaker just blew #AaronRogers off the board as a possible future host of #Jeopardy Maybe now he will just focus on the #Packers

Whitaker may just be competition for Rodgers, who nailed his time as the Jeopardy! host. Even though there were many who would love to see the athlete host, Whitaker's giving him a run for his money.

Whitaker's overall demeanor seems to have sold many Jeopardy! fans. Luckily for them, they'll be able to see the journalist behind the lectern as he hosts the program for the next two weeks.
