Mike Richards out as Jeopardy executive producer

That was a whole monkey’s paw situation.
Richards got what he wanted.
And he’s worse off than he was before he made the wish.

Thanks for the advice Judge Smails…

I say give LeVar Burton the job.

The perfect host. Bizarre why they didn’t choose him for the role.

I agree with that, but I also think they want a new long-term host, and I don’t know if Burton wants it.

Mike Richards = Kenny Bania

I dunno - some people probably thought “Wait…the Seinfeld guy that did the racism?”

[ClutchLinkey]

Okay, so the other folks went

I’ll take clusterfuck for $200, Alex.

Nobody’s going to live up to Alex’s standards

Maybe not, those were both huge shoes to fill and then inflated by nostalgia beyond even what a reincarnated Trebek could fill, but there are a ton of people who could competently fill the role and don’t have a history of publicly recorded terrible statements.

Believe it or not, the show is a cash cow. It doesn’t cost much to produce, and it’s ratings are consistently good. They’re not going to cancel it. They may ruin it, leading eventually to its cancellation, but they’re not going to just cancel it now.
