One of Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter or James Holzhauer would be my pick.

Out of curiosity, why isn't IBM Watson an option?

Levar Burton is perfect. He has just the right kind of dignified, authoritative presence like Alex had. I'm a huge fan, but Ken seems like too much of a typical "nerd". The contestants can be like that but not the host.

Have you actually watched Ken Jennings play on Jeopardy?

He's shown he has a damn good sense of humor.

Here's an example.

Ken is a likable guy but he doesn't have the old-fashioned broadcaster gravitas you get from Alex. I like that. 

So...you want Chris Wallace hosting Jeopardy.

If you’ve ever imagined competing against Jeopardy!’s greatest-ever contestants — Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, and James Holzhauer — now might be your chance. After Alex Trebek hosted the trivia champs for the primetime event series Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time in January, ABC is bringing the trio back to rob contestants of their hard-earned money in the upcoming game show The Chase.

The yet-unscheduled series, hosted by Sara Haines, is “a heart-racing quiz show where three competitors must pit their wits and face off against the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius determined to stop them from winning cash prizes,” ABC explains in a press release. “Each hour-long episode is a fast-paced battle of brain power, where contestants are challenged to think faster than they ever thought possible to answer up to 166 questions across all topics.”

In the show, Holzhauer, Jennings, and Rutter will take turns as the Chaser. “But now they’re no longer pursuing each other,” ABC adds. “They’re chasing you!”

I think it's probably safe to assume that none of Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter or James Holzhauer will be the next host of Jeopardy.
