"Jeopardy!" in Jeopardy as Dr. Oz Week 2 Sinks to Lowest Ratings Ever

[left-of-center2012]

Dr. Oz's second week at the podium sank the venerated game show to 4.9 million viewers.

When Ken Jennings took over from the late Alex Trebek in January. he kept the ratings at a steady 6 million. But when Jennings left, Katie Couric came in and numbers started to dip. Couric’s run caused some damage, but Dr. Oz– who the fans petitioned against– has left the show in a precarious situation. In between there was show EP Mike Richards.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on now, and we won’t know what’s happened with him until next week. But the PR machine issued an interview with Richards yesterday loading praise on Rodgers. That’s a sign they know things aren’t going well. The interview read like an act of desperation.

There are still weeks and weeks to come of guest hosts starting next week with Anderson Cooper, then Bill Whitaker of “60 Minutes.” actress Mayim Bialik, and Savannah Guthrie, followed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. There’s no plan for Levar Burton, who has a big fan following. It looks like “Jeopardy!” will wait till Labor Day to announce some new permanent host ... if they can wait that long.

1. I hardly watched "Dr." Oz

I'm happy to have helped with the poor ratings during his stint.

I was fine with everyone else.

2. I find Dr. Oz to be so unpleasant to look at (and that is not typically and issue for me)

I didn't watch his week, but I can not imagine wanting to.

He's a snake-oil seller and any veneer of respectability should not launch him into other celebrity jobs, IMO.

7. Me too but I think that is because

there is something about his looks that reminds me of Trump. I can't put my finger on it but he looks a lot like Trump to me, even though at first glance I don't see it. Creepy as Trump.

3. I watched and he wasn't the worst but I'm glad he's hated

4. They need to pick someone

Not liking all these guest hosts. Liked Ken and Mike and Love Aaron Rodgers. Would love to see Larry Wilcox host it but they really need to find someone

[Rorey]

12. I'm looking forward to Mayim Bialik and Anderson Cooper

Also Bill Whitaker.

The only one I haven't liked is Dr. Oz. Rewording that, the only one I've HATED is Dr. Oz.

14. Same. I like Katy personally but

She can also be annoying to watch after awhile

5. LeVar Burton. Make it so.

9. They Don't Appear To Want Him

I wonder if it's because of the color of his skin.

I don't see a single African American on that list.

Just a hypothetical observation.

11. Bill Whitaker

Bill Whitaker, 60 Minutes correspondent, is apparently upcoming.

6. A couple years ago I saw Dr Oz on TV highly recommend six vitamins.

He said taking the six would dramatically improve your health.

Being in my 70's and with a lot of health issues, I thought I'd check it out.
I researched each vitamin on a number of websites and they all said each vitamin was useless and had no merit.

[Rorey]

13. He has given a lot of questionable advice

And by "questionable", I mean downright incorrect.

8. I thought Dr Oz was only on late night cable channels on paid programming.

I wouldn't know him if I saw him.

10. He's got a daytime TV show on a zillion stations
