I'm assuming the gig pays $10M+ a year if not way more than that? Most people become ethically fluid when that much money is on the line...

Doubt they are paying the exec producer that much to host. I actually think it’s nice he is unknown and fades into the background, letting the guests shine. All we’ve heard about since Alex died are the guests hosts. I’d like to hear more about the contestants and a big name host prevents that.

Not true. Drew Carey has done a great job.

That’s a very different role. I can’t name any price is right contestants but I can name several Jeopardy contestants.

But it shows that the show doesn’t have to be about the host even if he/she is a celebrity.

OP was clearly a paid shill if not the producer himself. Wow just wow.

Trebek was making $16.5M according to the NYT article above. But it’s not so much about the money, it’s a REALLY easy job. You basically only work two Wednesdays a month like six months of the year.

Considering I got into Jeopardy again during my maternity leave, the idea of watching a host who fired women for being pregnant is pretty abhorrent. I might see if I can finish Matt Amodio's run then I'm out for a while.

Absolutely disgusting. Apparently Jeopardy didn't vet this guy at all.

I'm so frustrated they've ruined the show. I used to watch this with my grandma! I was in high school when Ken did his big run and my mom and I tuned in every night. No way I could do that with my son with this creep as host.

It's sickening they're trying to cancel Mike Richards in hopes of bringing in fan favorite (and sub-par host) LeVar Burton.

What’s so great about Mike Richards? Everything I’ve seen about him screams scumbag.

He's not running for president and he's not the pope, he's a stupid game show host and he's apparently pretty good at it.

Vote with your clicker. Don't watch.

DP. He is an awful host actually. And, apparently a vile person too.

Wrong, he was a good host, no matter what you think of him as a person.

I care about who I support in my watching. Being a decent human being should be the bare minimum.

And this guy's apology acted like this was a youthful mistake? He was 39 when he used these slurs. I'm more than five years younger than that and I know better.

He's vile, calculating, and not someone I would ever want my kid to watch on TV.
