'Jeopardy!' Viewers Weigh in on Dr. Sanjay Gupta's Guest Host Stint So Far
Dr. Sanjay Gupta has received a warm welcome from Jeopardy! fans since starting his stint as one [...]
"You were great!" one of his fans said, comforting the host in the comments on Twitter.
prevnextYou were great! If I ever went on Jeopardy, my banter would be that when I was an M3 I took the University of Michigan private jet to harvest a liver with Dr Sanjay Gupta. Not many people can say that! 💙💛

For someone who hasn't watched the game show since the death of its beloved host, this user seems to be pretty smitten with Gupta's "good job" so far.
prevnextI have to say, having not watched Jeopardy since Alex Trebek's passing, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is doing a good job guest-hosting. He couldn't replace Alex, no one can, but I think he's got that vibe, or something close to it.

"Medical professionals make trivia rock!" this user said. Though, it's unclear if he also supported Dr. Oz in his short time on the show. The TV personality was so unpopular among viewers that fans of the show created a petition to have him removed from the slate of guest hosts, claiming that Oz was a purveyor of "dangerous medical misinformation."

Some fans can't get past Dr. Gupta's looks –– which is understandable. The CNN personality has held a large following for years. Some of whom must be there to follow some of his other popular traits.

"Finally, a Jeopardy! guest host who has me," this user said in clear support of Gupta's casting.
prevnextFinally, a Jeopardy! guest host who has met me. I wonder if Dr. Sanjay Gupta will mention that day he was honored to shake my hand a few weeks before I didn’t get the CNN job.

Alas, he can't please everybody in the fanbase and some have found his dance moves could use some updating. "I realize Dr. Sanjay Gupta's trying to liven things up but I don't need him doing the windmill," someone shared.
