It seems like much ado about NOTHING IMHO. People say stupid things as well as write them from time-to-time.

Omg, this guy is so loaded he can just toss money into the ocean and not miss it. Why don’t you all get behind someone actually deserving of a game show host position? Like a former contestant who could use this opportunity. Or someone who’s done game shows? Why do you want to make the super wealthy even wealthier? In his role as “Jeopardy” producer, which he will continue, Richards has a reported net worth of $6 million…….And that’s only from Jeopardy. He’s also a producer on Wheel of Fortune so he’s making the same money over there.

The Jeopardy reruns highlighted “Alex’s adventures “ where there was 1 category where he gave the clues from somewhere in the world or some place (Sesame Street)

Hoping for Levar Burton. He was a natural. Prob won’t hire him. He’s too old.

It’s her I know it all because I’m a neuroscientist- which if you don’t use it that’s not what you are - Robin Roberts will push social issues and most of the hosts didn’t have a connection with the audience.

Even more amazing and sad is that past mistakes are never forgiven in today’s society. We all make them. Wouldn’t be surprised if those who booted him have said/done much worse. Same for those cyber shaming him.

Absolutely, positively the LAST THING I want to see on Jeopardy. It's a great game show, not an editorial page. Just as bad as that sportscaster making political statement on Monday Night Football. She can make all her stupid social comments on her ultra liberal morning show, but leave the entertainment sector alone. I vote a big NO on Robin Roberts.

He's rich (and so are others) SO WHAT!!!! Jealous??????

Shouldn't this be about finding the best person for the job, and I don't care if that's a Bowery bum or Jeff Bezos

It wasn't 30 years go, it was 7 years ago. Richards' crude comments about women and Jews made on his podcast four years AFTER sexual harassment lawsuits were brought against him. Richards stepped down because, as the producer, he doesn't want to lose a single watcher. He wasn't the best choice anyway. Mayim Bialik was, but couldn't be fulltime host, because of her schedule. The other best choice is LeVar Burton. I hope they pick him.
