Lot of people trying to pin it all on Mike Richards, which would certainly be convenient

Oof. Yeah. wtf.

Speaking of him. I don't know what the gently caress was up with the guest hosts this year (but probably his fault). He got kicked off/cancelled. Mayim is an antivaxxer and rape apologist. Rodgers also antivaxx. And now Dr. Oz is running as R for Senate. This is like an Agatha Christie novel.

The median age of a Jeopardy viewer is 65 and I’m sure that most of those viewers are white. I don’t think that everything can be blamed on Richards, people in this thread are just not the target audience.

I thought Mayim Bialik was the favorite of the other execs and the one they wanted from the start even as Richards was trying to install himself.

maybe the show shoulda fuckin died with Alex at this point given how much of massive clusterfuck everything has been since.

You thought boomers were insufferable enough just being fans of the show? Just wait until they can't complain about all the queer contestants they're being forced to watch. gently caress em, it'll be hilarious.

I've been preparing for a while to make another run at it. I've convinced myself I need a little longer to shore up some categories, but I know deep down I just don't want to finally get my chance and end up facing Amy.

Either I'd be stomped so hard my remains are unidentifiable as human (most likely outcome) or I'd feel like a monster for ending her run.

Something I didn't know about Oz he's legitimately a woo crazy person he's not just selling snake oil cynically. He'd have an "energy healer" in the theater while he performed open-heart surgeries. How the gently caress his professional career survived that is beyond me.

Richards installed himself after Bialik couldn't do it full time. The execs were gonna give her the job from the get-go.

That's what it seemed like to me. I expected CBS or Sony to pull their weight in choosing a host and CBS did (Yes, BBT is a WB show but it drew eyeballs to the network). The only reason they couldn't do so was Call me Kat. She'll be the full time host when it's cancelled.

It was confusing because the way it initially looked was Richards oversaw guest hosting that everyone thought were tryouts and then installed himself as host. Then it came out that the guest hosts were a stupid ratings stunt and that the out of touch dumbasses in charge over at Sony wanted the lady from the Big Bang Theory to host.

Presumably they just film that tournament in that given production week so they just don't come back yet.

They only film 2 days a week, 5 games a day, I think? So if you wrapped as champion at the end of that week before the tournament, you take a week or two off before you come back.

yeah it's just like finishing a week as champion except you come back in 2 weeks instead of 1 (or 4 instead of 2, i don't know how they do it now)

They're keeping the joint hosting going through the end if the season (through next summer). Michael Davies is hanging on as executive producer at least until then as well.

I still believe that they're just holding out until they can permanently lock down Mayim, but I'm holding out hope that Ken can get the nod in the end.

I mean they introduce Ken as "hosting Jeopardy" and Mayim as "the host of Jeopardy" so I think it's pretty clear that you're right.
