Shuter said, “Talk about his replacement has always centered around finding a female host and someone of color. But at the same time, they want someone smart and well-educated. Someone that is respected and trustworthy. They are aiming more for Gayle King than Real Housewife Nene Leakes!”
We will have to wait and see what “Jeopardy” decides as far as a host goes.
