I really like him and appreciated his enthusiasm for the job, but it seems like he brings the wrong type of energy to the show. Don't get me wrong, he has a great tone of voice, but he reads the material more like the stories from Reading Rainbow rather than with the cadence required for this show. It is also apparent that he is very nervous and this has translated to some stiffness in running the game, interacting with players, going into commercials, etc. He will host three more episodes, so there is room for improvement, but considering that all five shows were taped in a day, I'm not sure it will vastly improve. Certainly some of the other guest hosts, notably Robin Roberts from last week, had the hang of it this early into their hosting runs.
Obviously nobody was or is going to be as good as Alex, but given all the media hype and neverending stream of Reddit posts for months, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the experience so far.
