[Editor’s Note: Geekosystem’s Glen Tickle is visiting us today. Everyone be nice!] When Alex Trebek appeared on The Nerdist Podcast recently he mentioned he would be open to having a woman replace him as the next host of Jeopardy! when he retires. Here are a few women we think could take the job.

Who would you like to see take the Jeopardy! throne when Trebek steps down? [Editor’s Note: Susana suggested, “Paula Poundstone, Ellen DeGeneres. But Mostly Paula Poundstone.” Jill suggested Robin Roberts and Ann Curry, and Rebecca suggested no one. We suspect she’s after Pat Sajak’s job. She must be one of those “unpatriotic racists.”]
