Mike Richards Has Stepped Down From His Brand New Gig As The Host Of “Jeopardy!”
Mayim Bialik better quit her actual day job because Jeopardy! needs a new full-time host. Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards and Mayim Bialick were just announced as the new hosts of the game show, replacing international treasure Alex Trebek. Mike was going to be the daily host of the syndicated show while Blossom hosts primetime specials and spin-off shows. But then a shit ton of bad press hit Mike Richards. Mike was accused of sexism and discrimination while he was a producer on The Price is Right. Then earlier this week, The Ringer brought out a bunch of bigoted, sexist, and racist comments Mike made on his podcast The Randumb Show in 2013 and 2014. Mike apologized for those comments, but I guess it wasn’t enough. Because he’s now out of a job. Mike announced to his staff that he will no longer host Jeopardy!. So they trotted out a parade of guests hosts (when they probably already made the decision to hire Mike Richards) and this happens!?! Bring out ThePriceisRightlosinghorn.
Mayim Bialik Was Almost The Sole Host Of “Jeopardy!” But She’s Too Busy
Mayim Bialik was named as one of the two new hosts of Jeopardy! along with the executive producer of the series, Mike Richards. Mike will host the daily show and Mayim will host primetime specials and spin-offs. It was an announcement that didn’t seem to have anyone in any form of real excitement, and even though Mayim was trending on Twitter over it, it was more because people were talking about her anti-vaxx past (which she’s since distanced herself from). Well, it seems that not everyone had an issue with Mayim’s Jenny McCarthy-streak because the people at Sony were reportedly so obsessed with Mayim that they almost made her the lone host. The problem is, she’s just such a busy woman with all her other activities. I mean, those totally legitimate and useful brain supplements won’t shill themselves!
