MatPat Secures Over 300,000 Signatures In His Bid For 'Jeopardy' Host

YouTube's well-known video game analyst MatPat started his petition to be considered for the next host of Jeopardy! shortly after the news of a replacement began to circulate.
While a replacement was eventually found and then unfound before landing on Ken Jennings for the rest of the year, MatPat hasn't given up hope. Also not giving up hope is over 330,000 people who have signed his petition on Change.org.
WE DID IT! 330,000 signatures!!
In just THREE WEEKS, we shattered a number it took "traditional celebrities" ten MONTHS to get. #WhoIsMatPat?

“Hello television, welcome to jeopardy! A show where I’ll talk about nonsense for 13 1/2 minutes and actually do the show for 2 1/2 minutes. Gotta hit that ad revenue, so let’s get started!”

While announcing the big news that his petition reached over 300,000 signatures, MatPat also announced that his annual charity stream will be getting set soon, with St. Jude's Children Hospital set to received over $1 million. This is just another in a line of charity streams that MatPat has done in the past, and they promise to keep increasing as time goes on.
I've made plenty of jabs at @MatPatGT, mostly at the theories that have no evidence to stand on, but I think that we can all agree that the man himself is a good guy.
Evidence? Well, I think his recent tweet about his $1,000,000 Challenge for St. Jude is evidence enough, no? https://t.co/qSlMVLE1B8— Drahjan (@Drahjan_YT) September 28, 2021

Whether or not this Change.org petition will result in anything tangible remains to be seen, but the recent wave of support for MatPat to host Jeopardy! seems to be growing.
