Would be happy with guest hosts forever, or a year, but they’re planning for a real host by September boo.

According to reports, Sylvester Stallone is now a member of President Donald Trump’s private club in Palm Beach. The 74-year-old actor had previously been a guest at the club and also recently purchased a $35 million home near the club in Palm Beach. The star of “Rocky” was reportedly seen recently posing for photos with guests, all holding up fists in a boxing pose.

Stallone has also been in the news this month because it was just announced that he won’t be in “Creed III.” The film is set to hit theaters next Thanksgiving. Earlier this month, Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle bought a mansion about 20 miles from the Mar-a-Lago compound where former President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump are living.

There is prep time I know but as far as actual in person time it’s about 50 days a year. Dan Patrick talked about hosting “Sports Jeopardy” - they shoot 5 per day two weeks at a time. Wheel films the same with basically the same crew. They get 250 shows a year done in a couple two week spurts.

Trebek was pretty vocal bout the next host being a woman. I hope it isn’t Mayim - anti vaxxer nut.

I didn't know that about Trebek's opinion regarding a woman host, but I am not surprised... he was a good egg.

The show is just a front for the global cabal of vampiric child eating liberals that sell pizzas and control the Jewish space laser and the weather. They are in cahoots with the Bilderbergs, the Trilateral Commission, the Rothschilds, the Bill Gates, the ghost of Steve Jobs, and George Soros...its so obvious man...do your research (online of course and using only your default web browser).

(as if this is necessary : )

Its going to be Q.

It could be a hot mess, it could be great.

So far, I don’t see any of the guest hosts taking over permanently. I think we are still waiting for the right one to appear. I do hope Lavar Burton gets a shot at hosting. He could be the one!

Rogers did a great job, I thought, but Ken Jennings has the sentimentality still connected to Alex.

I like Levar Burton, but he’s too associated with other projects in my opinion.

Will be interesting to see. But one thing is certain...

There will NEVER be another Alex Trebec.

I am really enjoying Aaron Rogers. Smart, good sense of humor, good with the contestants, and quite handsome. But I also think it will be Ken Jennings.

She's probably busy doing all kinds of other things, though.

I have only watched one episode with Ken Jennings, and clips of Aaron Rodgers and Mike Richards. I am personally not a fan of Jennings.

I would love to see LeVar Burton get a shot.


* I wonder how many of these people actually want the job, but just thought it would be fun to guest host.
