Bio1590 08/07/21 1:29:52 PM #1:	https://www.theringer.com/tv/2021/8/5/22611962/jeopardy-new-host-mike-richards-sony Turns out it wasn't actually an emergency, and he's just an asshole! (No big shock there) Richards stepped up to the lectern after the last of Trebeks episodes and six weeks with 74-time champion Ken Jennings as the inaugural guest host. 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. But two sources close to Jeopardy! tell The Ringer that thats not an accurate depiction of how Richards came to host. Instead, a planned host had a minor conflict during one of the shows upcoming tape days. Jeopardy! staff and crew told the host that they could work around itonly for Richards to step in and insist on hosting himself, according to the sources, one of whom described feeling surprised that Richards characterized his presence onstage as an emergency substitution. Contestants present during Richardss resulting host stint recall the executive producer as pleasant and occasionally apologetic as he prepared to tape, at one point taking over the traditional off-camera player practice round, usually conducted by the Clue Crews Jimmy McGuire, to get more practice hosting. But the rescheduling incident, and Richardss public explanations after the fact, raised some eyebrows internally. A spokesperson at Sony Pictures Entertainment, the parent studio of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, declined to comment. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/S1m3po4 https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:956865860] in Mike Richa...

dmaster342 08/07/21 1:40:21 PM #9:	Figures. Guy was bad and pretty scummy watching him guest-host and of course they choose basically the worst guy (IMO) from all the guest-hosting to be permanent. Heck, even Dr. Oz and Burton were better than this scrub lol (and that's actually saying a lot because Burton in particular was pretty bad considering how hyped people made him out to be). --- NNID: dmaster342 Switch FC: SW-7536-6913-0987 3DS FC: 3411-5415-9967 <cite>dmaster342 posted [p:956866120] in Mike Richa...
