I quite enjoyed David Faber’s turn as guest host on #Jeopardy - I wasn’t real familiar with him before but he was pretty good I’d say.

Was #Jeopardy guest host David Faber the closest we’ve seen to Alex Trebek? Great job!

Yet another viewer would be happy to see Faber getting the full-time job, as they wrote, After seeing so many hosts, figured the choice was clear already, but really surprised by
@davidfaber. Pace and personality felt really great watching as a viewer. Could definitely see him taking up the mantle.
David Faber should be made the new host of #Jeopardy. He said he would take the job if offered, but unfortunately he won't even be offered, let alone even be considered, I bet.

I don’t know how many guest hosts are left for Jeopardy!, but my clubhouse leader for Alex’s permanent replacement is David Faber. And no, this is not recency bias. #Jeopardy
