That was the point. No one cares if someone has changed. Cancelling them and constantly bringing up what theyve said years ago is more important, funny or not.

Yeah, that's true. You'll get the apology and then a day later or so you'll get all of the, "I just don't think they're sincere!"/"That's not good enough!" types coming out of the woodwork.

Richards is out as Exec Producer of both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune

I’m writing to let you know that Mike will no longer be serving as EP of Wheel and Jeopardy! effective immediately. We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks. That clearly has not happened.

Even without the "scandals," the EP naming himself as host was pretty laughable. He pretty much shot himself in the foot, so not really sorry for him.

Why don't they just end Jeopardy altogether? People largely followed it out of tradition for Alex Trebek. Now that he's dead and buried, why keep the show running?

Who actually watches Jeopardy regularly but old retired people? I can't think of anyone my age or younger who would follow this show. It's an old relic from decades ago.

You really need to stop using yourself as a baseline for the general population's interest in anything.

Only boomers care about jeopardy, literally who watches game shows and is not over 40. It's the reality show or their time. It's not trolling either. It's likely the only audience that still watches live tv so who cares if they choose a problematic host, it'll fit their target audience. The only reason they are complaining on twitter is because people love making drama and cancelling people, it makes them feel like they have power and are relevant to today's world. Those people won't be watching it since they aren't boomers. Hilarious really

It doesn't matter if I watch it or not. Like, I don't watch "The Bachelor," but that doesn't make this any less bullsh**.

He did in fact leave behind a terrible legacy on The Price is Right. Here’s how bad things were according to people who worked on the show.

My local classic rock station does this thing called the 3@3, where at 3pm on weekdays, they play three songs in a row and we have to guess what all of the three songs refer to. It usually pertains to a current event. So today, they played "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp, "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey, and "Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band. So as you might have guessed, they're in reference to Mike Richards being fired as executive producer of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune.

Now that Mike Richards has been fired, he’s decided to hire a lawyer.

Mayim Bialik will continue hosting the syndicated series through November 5. After that, she and Ken Jennings will be rotating as hosts through the rest of 2021.

Levar Burton is no longer interested in hosting the show.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...dy-1235015552/

He also criticized a journalist who made comments about him on Twitter.

They should just cancel the show altogether at this point.
