Mike Richards, the executive producer who was initially tapped to replace Alex Trebek, stepped down amid controversy over past comments he made on his podcast. In a note sent to staff, Richards said “moving forward as host would be too much of a distraction for our fans and not the right move for the show.â€Â» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

‘Jeopardy!’ Host Steps Down Amid Controversy
Good grief there’s no forgiveness, or redemption for anyone.
Might be time to say goodbye to Jeopardy. All things come to an end. The people who are trying to decide who will host it can't get it together. They're like a the children of a rich parent fighting over the inheritance.
You do know what they are looking for. ðŸ¤â€Â
The best thing to do is to get many qualified people, and there are many out there, who are well educated to rotate in that job so they can get a little piece of the pie instead of leaving it to one person that is already rich, whoever that may be.
That way it will not harbor any bad feelings among jeopardy fans knowing that many, many people can rotate and take turns, including many well educated women.
Just shut it down. Cancel everybody and everything. What a ridiculous world we live in. Being judged harshly for past remarks from years ago.
@Jeopardy made our list of shows facing the cancel culture axe…. sad but true prediction https://youtu.be/0f7732CXCgw
LeVar or just shut it down. C'mon.
Just put a black rapper in the position. They are immune from what they say.
Find me a virgin, unknown to the ways of the world, it’s cruelties, it’s hatred… for the reader of questions must be purer than the snow of the clouds, decent like a unicef ambassador and worthy of praise in the salons of Georgetown.
🙄
LaVar Burton. He encouraged kids to read thru Reading Rainbow. True knowledge comes from reading. He opened that door for a whole generation. It would be very cool for a contestant to win n thank him for turning him on to reading.
Mayim Bialik please
Now Taiwanese, Japanese and Hong Kong people can no longer remit money abroad after selling their real estate on the mainland. Presumably, companies will also be more obstructed. Foreign companies based in China must be vigilant. Money entering China will be difficult to get back. At present, China is already in short supply of funds, and it has turned to the rich private enterprises in China to ask for giving back to the society. If they do not give it, they will encounter various administrative difficulties, and the appearance of Chinese bandits has begun to show. In order to maintain the regime and prepare for war funds, money is scavenged at every possible means. Hong Kong's financial banks and foreign companies are still waiting and watching, because the CCP has suspended the anti-sanctions law, but it does not mean that it will continue to be implemented in the future, and it must be implemented.
Yes, that's right, people are being pressured out of jobs because of jokes, folks. Long past jokes.
I'm glad you are all so perfect and have never said anything to that anyone will ever find offensive even years later when cultural mores change.
God help us all.
I could care less.
First wonder years now jeopardy. This is american, and we are all american .If u don't accept blacks u are a racist.
The wisest choice would have always been LeVar Burton. Duh 🙄
If you want to see some profane and unhinged rants, look no further than Mayim Bialik. She is a certifiable nut job.
Who ever talks that job should know the career will always be in Jeopardy
I Think Dan Harris of ABC. Should do take over the job , He's Retiring early from GMA
I'm proud of everyone who stepped in to pressure Mike Richards to step down.ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ½ Will other Jeopardy execs step in and give Laura Coates a chance to Host? Alex wanted her to host but Richards blocked her?
LeVar
End the show.
This is a sad event that has become a real thing. Yet another person losing his dream job which could have lasted for ever unless he chooses to retire from, like the late host, Alex Traveck . All because he’s made a joke way back in his past. I don’t know if America is a Free Country anymore! These Speech Police not make it so. What’s happened to the Freedom of Speech?! Ugh! So unfair and Disgusting!
Are we still doing?
Kramer hates black people
"Hey Man… Is That Freedom Rock? WELL TURN IT UP, MAN!"
"What would rock and roll be without ambition, craziness, danger, and fun?"
"Rock and roll is not just music, it's a way of life, it has its own Spirit… The Spirit of FREEDOM!!!"
– TURN IT UP (Freedom Rock)
Psalms 66:16
“Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul!!!"
Psalms 40
"I DELIGHT to do thy will, O my God: yea, your LAW  is within my heart!"
"I have PREACHED RIGHTEOUSNESS in the GREAT congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you knowest."
"I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have DECLARED your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your LOVING KINDNESS and your TRUTH from the GREAT congregation."
"Withhold not your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me!"
"For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me." (Not me…😎)
"Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, MAKE HASTE to help me!"
"Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil!"
"Let them be HORRIFIED by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!â€ÂÂ
"Let ALL those that seek you REJOICE and BE GLAD in you: let such as love your SALVATION say continually, The LORD be MAGNIFIED!"
Psalms 107
"Give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his MERCY  endureth for ever!"
"Let the REDEEMED (Me 😎) of the LORD say so, whom he hath REDEEMED from the hand of the enemy!"
"And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south!"
"They wandered in the wilderness in a SOLITARY WAY; they found no city to dwell in!"
"Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them."
"Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he DELIVERED them out of their distresses!"
"Oh that men would PRAISE the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
"For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness."
"Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron."
"Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High!"
"Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help!"
"THEN they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he SAVED THEM out of their distresses!"
"He brought them OUT of darkness and the shadow of death and BROKE away their chains!!!"

When they said the new host was Michael Richards I thought it was Kramer from Seinfeld and I was like “how did you not know about him using the N-word??! “
At least Kramer showed some remorse.
God forbid i ever become famous
JOE BUCK WAS THE BEST. PLEASE MAKE HIM JEOPARDY HOST FOREVER!!!!
Crybabies. Another reason to not watch NBC's garbage anyways.
