I’m concerned that Sony Pictures Television is trying to push the tone of the show to (what they perceive as) younger, hipper, pop culture-ish.

We have already seen that as Celebrity Jeopardy!, celebrity hosts, gimmicky categories, and a 21st century bias on clues such as in music categories.

I believe they don’t really see Jennings as a good fit for the pop version of Jeopardy!
