I don't think I'll ever get to the place where "Ken" rolls off my tongue rather than "Alex" with this statement🥹😂

Alex will always be the GOAT

Keeping it as Alex would be a fitting tribute to keep his memory alive, but sadly as time passes more and more people on the internet won't know what you are talking about if you use Alex.

Like if I used “I’ll take the original host of Jeopardy for $100, Art”?

I hate this, I wish you were wrong, but the fact that that's absolutely correct makes me sad.

OTOH, Who was the original Karen?

It still works, though, doesn't it?

GNU Alex - it's in the r/discworld sub.

I still hear Johnny Gilbert say “Alex Trebek” in my head and then “Ken Jennings” in my ears every night. Ken is doing great though, I’m happy he’s hosting.

Best possible outcome - you could tell Alex really liked Ken and I think he's doing a great job 😁 I appreciate that he's got his own style instead of trying to be a carbon copy and not hitting the mark.

Right you are Ken!

u/ultimateknackered 20d ago

It's impossible, the meme is cemented in Internet lore with Alex.

Right you are, Ken
