No, no, no, no, no…. NO.
How dare you soil the legacy of the great Alex Trebek and let Joe Buck step those Jeopardy shoes. How friggin’ dare you.
According to the New York Post, Joe will be guest-hosting a few episodes of Jeopardy this summer, with the potential for a spot as the permanent replacement of the late legend, Mr. Alex Trebek.
“Buck’s episodes are expected to air at some point in the mid-summer, according to sources. Guest hosts so far have been on air for two-week stints. There is no word yet on how long Buck will be on.”
And while I literally can’t think of a worse host, apparently I’m not alone.
Twitter has spent the past few hours roasting the ever living shit out of this terrible, terrible idea.

LeVar Burton appears to be the fan favorite.
Is it really gonna need to take Alex Trebek's ghost to come and haunt TF out of the Jeopardy producers to have them give LeVar Burton a chance?? Joe Buck? C'mon 🙄

Look, if @Jeopardy hires a host without giving @levarburton a chance, especially after letting Joe Buck host, I'm done with that show. But you don't have to take my word for it 😂
