Last night's show had the record LOW total for a contestant. He just seemed a bit too nervous.
Burton was OK, but it was show #1. I had not warmed to the thought of him being the permanent host, because I felt there was way too much hoopla. Well, even with just one show, I can see it. I can sense already that I'll be more than fine with him.
I am sooooo far behind posting here, but Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been the best hands down. Good voice, good interviewer, good host, etc. Mike Richards, Anderson Cooper, and Buzzy Cohen (surprisingly) at the next tier. I liked Aaron Rodgers.
Sadly, Mayim Bialik was way too giddy and silly, as were a couple of her contestants. I didn't care for her interjections of 'that's where I went to school' or, 'yup, my grandma played that game'. Bill Whitaker and Savannah Guthrie were often shocked that the contestants answered correctly (uh, this is 'Jeopardy', correct?
). Guthrie must have excitedly said 'You got it!' 15x a show the first week. And yes, Robin Roberts was disappointing, had too much caffeine and was way too bubbly. But I will give her a pass: she only did the one 'week', and any cancer survivor can generally do anything they damn well please in my book.
