Yes, they will rotate hosts for a while, basically auditioning them. Jennings is the frontrunner, but he's not my first choice. I hope they take their time and try lots of people. Better to get it right.

It's still our favorite show.

It's still our favorite show.

It's my Dad's favorite show. I miss watching the show with him, now that he's in a nursing home.

I also enjoy the show. I don't think I'll watch till the fill in hosts are on, just too weird seeing Trebek hosting knowing he died.

It's strange, but at the same time, I'm watching because it's the last time I'll see him so it's emotional all kinds of ways.

His last episodes run until before Christmas, and then the week after New Year's and that's it.

The guy who played Immortan Joe in Fury Road (and the villain in the original Mad Max) died.



He was really good in Fury Road.

A beautiful day in the neigborhood was one of the last movies that was playing at the theater before it shut down last year. I listened to it all weekend long for every shift I worked. What beautiful people the Roger's were!
