Michael Richards' mouth costs him work. Surprisingly not the first time it's happened. So Sony is likely scrambling at this point. Since Hookshot probably won't get the gig, Bialik has her sitcom and Mike is still EP, who wants to deal with the hornet nest now?

I wonder if he was still using that "Alex said be kind!" spiel during the episodes he filmed yesterday. That was the first thing to completely sour me on him during his initial run, it all felt so fake.

Who knew that Jeopardy would get its own George Lazenby? This is the best news I've heard all week. I can't think of a single person that liked Richards (except Richards himself).

Also, my bet is behind the scenes they're going to get rid of him as EP, too. He has the potential of doing too much spite-damage, and while it's pretty easy to go "hey we need someone to randomly host this for a few weeks while we sort it out", it's a lot harder to find someone to EP a show, especially when they're going to be thrown directly into a loving shitshow. My guess is within a few weeks they announce that Mike is being replaced as EP and by god, is that Harry Friedman's music????

I literally went to brunch and got a flight of mimosas to celebrate. No one is allowed telling me Biyalik gets the job full-time until at least tomorrow.

I feel like those are the 3 correct choices. Give LeVar another chance during a non-Olympics-week, at the very least.

This is great news. I'd like Rodgers to get the gig, but I'm pretty biased. The other folks routinely mentioned I'd be happy with. Especially Buzzy or Ken.

 News hit while I’m at work here and I’m not getting anything done for a bit. Get hosed, homeboy. Ken, LeVar, or Buzzy would be my choices, though Aaron Rodgers really wasn’t bad at all, though he has the Packers to worry about so he likely isn’t in the running.

I had an old classmate filming today. They apparently told the contestants he quit and to go home last minute. This is their 3rd attempt to be on the show. (covid cancelled the first two)

(covid cancelled the first two) Man, that sucks. I know they're pretty good at getting people actually on the show eventually, but I hope they're able to afford/manage another trip out to LA. My friend was on recently. I think they were pushed back twice due to covid and would have been on one of Trebek's last batch of shows had a global pandemic not happened. And maybe they also would not have faced Matt.

Today's my birthday. Because society is filled with assholes, I can't go out to a restaurant. I have to work tonight. WFH has cost me additional gifts for the past two years. Yet, this is a good day after all.

Jokymi posted:Christ, what a petulant baby. I really hope they are smart enough to keep him far away from any of the host selection process, but sadly I'm sure he'll still be putting his mark all over everything that happens going forward. The flip side of this is that this is a very public gently caress up on his part now, and unless he goes full scorched earth, it would not look great for him to gently caress over the next host. There's also what Hookshot suspects up thread, and if he's ousted as EP, he won't have a say in it.

I'd like to thank the Ringer article for reminding me where I'd seen him before because it'd been bugging me but I was too lazy to look it up - he hosted Beauty and the Geek.
