Mike Richards is now out as executive producer of 'Jeopardy!' too

New York Mike Richards is out as executive producer of"Jeopardy!" and"Wheel of Fortune," Sony, the company behind the two shows, announced Tuesday.

The news comes after a turbulent past month for"Jeopardy!" in which Richards was first named its new host and then stepped down about a week later amid controversies which began over his having been been named in multiple discrimination lawsuits. The Ringer also had surfaced derogatory comments he made on a podcast, for which he then apologized.

Great, I can watch jeaporfy again.

I'm not surprised. After all, he is a white man who offended some whiners and hurt their delicate little feelings.

I cannot think of less important news. The world is falling apart and this is what you report on? CNN, you can do better! Embarrassing!

“We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption” so admitting the disruption was the issue and not that you were employing this man in the first place?
