Not comparing them to any of the ones who have had already had their turn, who do you think will be your three favorite of the remaining guest hosts?
Mine would be (in no specific order):
Gupta
Roberts
Burton
Never heard of David Faber, so I don't really have any way to place him. Stephanopolous seems a bit too soft-spoken to me. Unlike many, I like Joe Buck, but I fear he'll be another Mike Richards.

Re: Of the remaining guest hosts, who do you think will be your favorite?
In another thread I shared this for a sample of Faber:
My votes are Roberts, Burton and Gupta. If it turns out I do not care for Gupta or Burton hosting I would not be overly surprised. Robin Roberts is the one I have the highest expectation of liking.
Joe Buck is often extremely annoying and there is no counting how many times I've called out to the TV screen in reaction to something he has said while he is doing sports. I've also seen him "act" on Brockmire, so I know there are other facets to his personality. It's only five days and no way he'll be the permanent choice, so whatever, no big deal, no matter how it goes.
George is not as funny as his wife and I suspect he'll be a little out of place hosting J! beyond just the clue reading.
Seven weeks left and very likely the permanent host announcement will come before it's over. Clock's ticking to wrap up a very strange season of J!
If anyone ever comes across names of potential guest hosts who were asked and declined then please share. I would find it very interesting to know who had the opportunity to make money for a charity in six figures and turned it down because that person did not feel comfortable taking on a role unfamiliar to them or perhaps thought they were not capable of doing it.
All these months of guest hosts have demonstrated the show takes care of guests and no one is made to look bad. Dr. Oz's time took a lot of heat, but his 10 games were nowhere near the worst two weeks in game show history.
There must be at least a handful of possible guest hosts that screwed up and perhaps get to live with some regret. Yay, to all of the people who did say, yes. It's clearly been worth it and they will never forget the memories of the opportunity.

Could you change the poll so that changing your vote is possible? I didn't realize I could vote for multiple hosts.

You spelled Stephanopoulos wrong.

Sorry, but I only voted for one. The last two guys I know very little about. The remainder I feel I know as intimately as anyone can know a television personality, and only one of them wants the job.

I'm unfamiliar with Faber but with some of the remaining hosts, tabula rasa is a plus.

Joe Buck preview:

Oops. Got the 'ou' in the wrong place. Not sure if I can change that without wiping the poll.

I could only pick two. I detest the first 3 hosts and I haven’t seen LB since 1977. I used to see DF on CNBC and I’ve seen JB on Fox Baseball coverage. Yes, he can be EXTREMELY ANNOYING but he’s not some rancid msm hobbit.

Why isn’t “none of the above” an option?
Seriously, this is gonna be a tough several weeks for me

I didn't realize the quiz was asking for "3 favorite" so I only checked Sanjay Gupta, but I'll stick with it. He's always come across as a likeable person to me and he's obviously comfortable in front of the camera.
Faber is the only one I'm not too familiar with. I don't have a problem with any of the others. I'm sure they'll all at least be competent.
