‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Shower Buzzy Cohen with Praise After Final Episode of Guest Hosting Run Airs

The person who will become the permanent host of “Jeopardy!” has not yet been announced. And, who knows if the popular quiz show’s staff even has a candidate in mind.

Well, there are some fans who have already decided who the host should be. Their choice is a former champion and a recent guest host of the show. And no, it’s not Ken Jennings.

Their host of choice is Buzzy Cohen. And, fans of “Jeopardy!” have taken to Twitter to praise him for his performance on the show. Cohen hosted a Tournament of Champions that aired from May 17 until May 28.

Here’s just one example of the tweets that have been shared praising Cohen’s work on the quiz show.
