This series was a lot of fun though it seemed a bit long to me. I enjoyed seeing the six top contestants and learning a little bit about them. James Holzhauer seemed like a total jerk at first and I have not liked him on The Chase and eventually as I learned more about him and his interest and his youth I really grew to enjoy him as well. I think I'll give The Chase another chance!
I can't believe how good Ken Jennings has become at hosting! I think he makes Alex Trebek look horrible and he really had gotten terrible over the years, compared to how cute and fun and witty he was in the beginning. I guess you'd have to have watched it forever, like me, to make that comparison. Ken is fresh like Alex was 20 years ago before he became cranky and insulting to the contestants.
I'm very excited about both Ken and Mayim hosting because they each bring such different things to the show although right now I think Ken is doing a better job at hosting because he seems more light and funny as for Mayim is really serious. Secondly I'm kind of enjoying the consistency of Ken's look for the moment, until I get bored, as where Mayim's changes each show. I think maybe she should go with some brighter colored suits and stay consistent in the style like Meredith Vieira does on 25 Words Or Less.
I think Ken did a great job of hosting Jeopardy Masters! I loved googling him and seeing pictures of him and his family and his adorable son, who looks just like him! His daughter who looks just like his beautiful wife! It's just fun to get to know about people.
I'm really shocked to see that they're being paid so little compared to what Alex Trebek was paid. I mean how can you justify paying them $1 million each when he was paid $18 million just for one person? I guess it's all about ratings which dictates the advertising dollars brought in although we know from the crash in 2009 that can change a lot based on the economy which is kind of bad right now, post Covid. I don't think it's any 1/6 of what it was though which means the show owners might be taking advantage of these two, a little bit, not that $1 million is a bad starting salary but they are each giving their time and doing a good job! Actually doing a great job, doing a much better job than any host who has done it before, as far as I'm concerned! I know I will get arguments about that but they're nice, they're happy, they're friendly, they're positive, they're doing a good job!
