I had a feeling they would go with the anti vax, giggly slut shamer. 

Just give Mayim Bialik the real hosting job on Jeopardy!, you cowards

Nope. I didn’t like her and I’m glad I won’t have to watch her every day.

No! How dare you care about this thing! There are other things you should care about instead! And that other person commenting on the internet should be the final arbiter of what you are allowed to care about!

I would prefer my Jeopardy hosts to not vaguely be anti science or a sexual harsser.  Is that too hard to ask?

AV Club: Practically declares Mark Ruffalo a war criminal for slightly, marginally walking back his full-throated support of BDS.

Anti-vaxxer. Pusher of the same kind of quack garbage as “Dr.” Oz. Rape apologist/slut-shamer. Proponent of dangerous, mentally scarring parental techniques.

I haven’t watched any actual episodes, but from the commercials and clips here and there I think I can safely say it’s pretty far from “great and all”.

It’s not a zero sum game. I have unlimited reserves of pissed-off-edness. We’re not gonna run out, don’t worry. 

absolutely not. she can go eat placentas and tend to her “non-vaccinating family” (her quote, not mine) wherever I don’t have to see her

We wouldn’t be in this mess if they had gone with Danny DeVito like I wanted!!

Please god no, I’ll take the milquetoast white guy any day over way too much interjection. I hated Anderson Cooper’s “no, I’m sorry”s enough, but her giggling was incessant - it made the show near unwatchable.

“Mayim, I’ll take islamophobia for $500 ........” 

If the amount of people who are concerned about this actually watched Jeopardy, that show would have more eyeballs than the Super Bowl and the final M*A*S*H episode combined.

Re: “We’re sure Call Me Kat is great and all” - Um, maybe, as part of your role as a writer for a pop culture site, you might have watched the show? I get that with so many series now airing it’s impossible to watch everything, but maybe you could have caught one episode, just so you’d know if it was any good?

Oh, and…

Lol. Boring and terrible choices.

They basically committed fraud by conducting a search and implying audience reaction would be a factor, and then they revealed that the search was a cover/always rigged. And even though I thought Mayiam was far better than the dude they chose, she’s still an anti-feminist, anti-vaxxer. So yeah, the show is run by…

LOL, no; she sucks, too.

Ugh, fuck this trend.  This reminds me of the New York Times’ endorsement of Amy Klobuchar AND Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic primary (A hundred or so years ago).  Look, I’m all for ranked-choice voting.  But in a winner-take-all election, JUST FUCKING ENDORSE ONE CANDIDATE, ALREADY.  MAKING A DIFFICULT DECISION…

She uses her fame to hock fake brain supplements. They’re both bad choices.
