I like Ken too, but there are many who don't care for him and don't want to see him hosting. I recall being surprised when first reading of the objections to him because I thought he was more widely appreciated. Seems like some see him as "smug' and "feeling entitled" to the position.

The game itself is entertaining enough to carry it through, no matter who the host, so it will probably endure. In the end, I'll watch no matter who is hosting.
