.to host the show’s prime-time specials and spinoffs, after a lengthy search to replace Alex Trebek. Ms. Bialik is scheduled to tape 15 episodes when production resumes this week, Sony said.

Mr. Richards stepped down Friday after the Ringer reported on crass remarks and jokes he had made on a podcast of his about eight years ago. The backlash from the revelations, particularly from “Jeopardy!” fans and former contestants persuaded Sony that it would be impossible for Mr. Richards to continue as host and prompted his decision to exit that role, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Amy should host permanently. Blossom.

Let’s hope the anti-doctor actress is only temporary.

Jeopardy is now officially dead!

Enough with the 'temporaryily'. Give her the damn job. Jeopardy.

bring back buck. bring buck back. buck, bring back.

🗣 BRING BACK LEVARBURTON

Ahem, that's Emmy award winning actress and neuroscientist.

Good. he was not right for the role.

the jewish smart lady. that’s some adventurous casting right there for the jewish run entertainment industry.

keithrpillow The ONLY person they could even think of bringing in as the new host is levarburton

Woah!

the answer is obvious. it's time

Can they PLEASE dress her properly

Blossom lol

Let me know when Laura Coates is a temporary host Jeopardy .

If the host is simply reading questions and answers why does everyone believe the host needs to be smart? Wink Martindale has far more experience than all the others and is more entertaining.

Better than their world-wide-search choice of the executive producer.

Horrible choice.

Why do people have to radically change what works? I get these people wanna destroy America, but can you leave jeopardy alone?

For the love of God WHY Jeopardy ? There are 400 million other people that quickly come to mind to choose from Are you purposefully trying to ruin the show and disengage the Jeopardy loyalist soconfused

She's an antivaxxer

I think its good they found the most likable entertainer

Richards is retaining the Executive Producer role — until Sony replaces him (or he resigns).

Way to go Amy.

She was my favorite!

Temporarily?!!! Jeez and wow

I think you spelled levarburton wrong...
