What did Bill Whitaker say about hosting Jeopardy!?
Whitaker dished to the Washington Post about guest-hosting Jeopardy!, saying: “I work in television news, which is a totally different animal. I'm used to talking to one camera.
"Here, you had, I think, four cameras — one swoops in from the side, you talk to that one at the end of one commercial, and then swoops to another one you have to talk to after a commercial, and then the contestants are over on the other side.
Adding: “The thing that I was most surprised about was just how fast-paced it is.”
In an interview with the game show, Whitaker said that “Jeopardy!' is my wife's and my favorite show,”

"We try to answer the questions, we have a little thing, we put it on pause, we talk it over, and we see if we've got the right answer, and we come back, and often we don't, but we love it."
He also added that his wife encouraged him to accept the guest-hosting duties, saying: “‘Of course you should [take the offer]. This will be terrific.
Adding: “You'll have a great time. You'll have fun, go do it.'"
