Can ousted 'Jeopardy' host, Mike Richards, recover his reputation after public backlash? Expert weighs in
Mike Richards resigned as host of "Jeopardy!" just nine days after it was announced he would succeed the late Alex Trebek as its permanent host. Richards stepped down Friday after past inappropriate comments he made on the "The Randumb Show" podcast resurfaced.The 46-year-old, who hosted the podcast from 2013 to 2014 while he was working at "The Price is Right," made derogatory comments about women, people with mental disabilities, little people and the poor. Although some "Jeopardy!" episodes he has already helmed will air as scheduled, questions still remain as to what the future could hold for the longtime show producer.
