I can definitely see where you're coming from, but because of his style of play and incredibly well-rounded knowledge on so many different topics, this guy has a real shot at beating Jennings' 74-game win record, which was considered by all measures to be unbreakable. He's "only" at 12 games right now, so obviously a long way to go to get to that stage, but I think if we should get to a point where it seems inevitable that Jennings' record will be topped, it's going to be exciting to watch for most people. If he does beat the record, it will eventually wear off.
With the added element of Trebek's health, this is such a great way for him to have his exit by having a truly legendary player on the show near the end of his tenure.
