Jeopardy! host Mike Richards steps down amid controversial comments27 days agoMike Richards, executive producer of Jeopardy!, announced that he would step down as the show's host effective immediately. Richards's resignation comes after a report detailing his past misogynistic comments resurfaced earlier this week. 4:38 Bialik, who was among the celebrity guest hosts and had already been chosen to host Jeopardy! prime-time and spinoff series, including a new college championship, stepped in to replace Richards as interim host. Her episodes will air through Nov. 5. After that, Sony says Jennings and Bialik will share hosting duties based on their schedules through the end of the calendar year. No on-air auditions of other potential hosts were announced. Jennings, the record-holder for longest Jeopardy! winning streak, is a consulting producer on the show.
