Well, I didn't expect Kramer to recover from his N-word tirade but if anyone... Oh, the EP Not my pick obviously but it would be the type of pick for most game show hosts, the old hand. Goes to show it's not what you know, it's who you know and he knows the right people as he's one of them. David felt the same way but Wall Street isn't LA

Lol I only saw the first LeVar episode and he was about what I expected. Didn't exceed expectations, but he does simply have a really pleasant voice and overall demeanor that fits the show well. However, his age definitely works against him.

I already hated the million guest hosts bullshit as some ratings stunt (and then they did come out and claim it was tryouts) so if it ends up with one of the bottom tier hosts who is the executive producer I'm done.

Galaxy brain - Mike came up with the guest host roadshow circus and it was good for ratings which cemented him as good for the show and the obvious pick on Sony's part. This was probably their plan from the outset!

I'm not going to stop watching, at the end of the day Jeopardy is bigger than its host, but this is a real disappointing outcome after months ofa anticipation.

Is he still going to end every episode with the 'building a kinder and gentler society' quote? It's just not as good as 'have your pets spayed or neutered'.

Here's the quotequote:Richards told numerous media outlets, including The Ringer, that his presence was a last-minute decision: The intended host had fallen through, he said, leaving him just days to prepare. “I was never meant to be a part of that process,” he later told Broadcasting + Cable. Audiences warmed to what was widely viewed as the-show-must-go-on panache, an echo of the departed host of more than 36 years. What a sleaze.

I didn't realize he was only named Producer in 2019. Sounds like they probably had him pegged as the replacement long before Alex died.

Seeing a bunch of people pushing back against criticism of Richards, and it just seems so astroturfed. Like, that Ringer article mentions that Richards has a lot of detractors amongst the Jeopardy super fans, but I guess he’s more comforting to the olds who probably aren’t as vocal.zakharov posted:Here's the quote But yeah, this is sketch as gently caress.

I desperately hope that all of this backlash leads to so many skeletons coming out of the closet that not only does Richards lose the hosting position but that they also fire him as EP. What can I say, I'm an optimist.

https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/mike-richards-jeopardy-price-is-right-brandi-cochran-1235035652/ One day after breaking the news that he's at the front of the pack, Variety is now reporting on his past discrimination suits and the attention they're starting to get. Not sure if it's enough, but I can't imagine it's going to help him secure the spot.

Some things never change (except for porno ads in print newspapers, there's not many of them anymore): https://defector.com/maybe-the-next-jeopardy-host-should-just-be-some-random-doofus/ We need someone with a moustache though.
