I think the job will go to the biggest star that will take it and the opinion of 50,000 trivia nerds won't be a factor. I just hope it isn't anybody Kardashian related.
So no Kaitlyn Jenner?
Now that KJ is a political candidate, it would be a nightmare if she had hosted.
Who is KJ? Ken Jennings? I assume you can't be talking about Jenner, whose initials are CJ.
Thanks for the correction. My niece is named Kaitlyn so that is the spelling I am used to.

Perhaps with the Republican Jenner as a guest host, it would stop the complaints from right wingers saying the show has a liberal bias.
dammit! why did i have to bring up the k-word :roll:. we all just got dummer.

It's been that way for a while. (The exactly zeroes do too.) In season 25, it began that they would play the short-handed FJ, announce the winner, show the sponsors' spots, then return to the credits chat with all three contestants there. In recent seasons, they haven't always had sponsors' spots between the game's end and the credits, so the eliminated player(s) walk out to their in-game place right after the ending music starts. (For what it's worth, I can recall two players since then who missed out on FJ and didn't come back on stage, neither in a regular game. https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3309 https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4740)
I guess I usually stop my replay after the winner is announced so I guess I never saw that before.

I edited my post slightly because I didn't like my grammar after the (s) when I reread it in the quote here.

I was thinking of you during this FJ. Oy, just oy. My wife looks at me and and asks “they get on... and not you?” I have no answers.
Sick cosmic joke. What a f-ing train wreck!

Put a fork in me - I’m done!
