The staff was informed of Richards' departure on Tuesday in a memo sent out by Suzanne Prete, executive vice president of business and strategy for"Wheel of Fortune" and"Jeopardy!"
Mike Richards is no longer the executive producer of "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune," Sony announced Tuesday."I’m writing to let you know that Mike will no longer be serving as EP of Wheel and Jeopardy! effective immediately," Prete said in a note to the staffs of both shows Tuesday.
British television producer Michael Davies, the president and CEO of Sony unit Embassy Row, will help with the production on an interim basis, according to Prete. Davies has previously produced shows for ESPN, VH1 and CBS, as well as multiple shows for the Game Show Network. "I know this has been a challenging time for the entire team, and I want to thank you all for your cooperation and professionalism over these last few weeks," Prete wrote."As Ravi mentioned last week, I will be more involved in the day-to-day on our shows moving forward and I am looking forward to working closely with all of you."
About time
Yeah it’s not a good look when ya EP needs a “minder”
I can imagine the call that he got before he found out. “We r sorry, but with all this hosting drama, u have to leave now!!! And take all ur stuff w/ u!!! & don’t come back!!!
Maybe he should have groped Tara Reade and become president.
It’s about time! He’s done so much damage to Jeopardy!
JOE AND THE GENERALS MUST GO NOW!!
