variety.com/2021/tv/news/mike-richards-jeopardy-host-fired-1235045394/Mike Richards is OUT as the next Jeopardy host. Good news. I just hope they don’t bump Mayim Bialik up from her current part-time hosting gig to the full-time job. My guess is they finally get Ken Jennings after all to be “the guy.” We’ll see. Sounds like in the meantime, we’ll just be getting some more guest hosts until they figure it out.

The mob was REALLY out to get that guy smh. Went so far out of their way to commit blatant character assassination just because they liked another guest host better and weren’t open minded enough to give him a chance in the full time job. I’m not gonna say this stuff wouldn’t have come out about him if he didn’t get the job since you can never know but this absolutely has the feel of a hit job. He still has his exec producer job which he’s made a living out of so at least they didn’t kill his career

You can't act like it didn't happen and think you're untouchable. The Trump approach doesn't work.

Yeah, if you're gonna be a public face, you need to act like a sports head coach (or Eminem at the end of 8 Mile) and do some self-scouting to figure out your flaws and get out ahead of it. Otherwise those flaws will get exposed and exploited by someone else.

If you pissed someone off they are probably holding onto it until it is time to strike. The people who don't get ahead of it are delusional about their own inappropriate behavior. They don't want people to know they're a wolf in sheep's clothing.

What if this becomes like a Kevin Hart situation where after the planned host steps down, no one wants to host anymore so they just don't have one and instead use like a pre-recorded Siri voice to read the clues.

Jennings / Bialik rest of season
For the remainder of this embattled season, it will be only Mayim Bialik and record-setting “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings sharing hosting duties, Sony Pictures Television confirmed to The Post.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 20, Bialik is helming several weeks of episodes, which will air through Nov. 5. Beyond that point, Jennings and Bialik will split hosting duties as their schedules allow, reps for the show told The NY Post.

It's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, you hacks! Everybody got it wrong! WONDERFUL! I have a copy of the book in front of me! Granted, it isn't an original printing, but to my knowledge, the original title included "Wonderful."
This annoys me far more than is reasonably healthy.

Matt Amodio: My Ultimate Goal Is To Win $1 More Than Ken JenningsNewsweek article - Amodio going on and on about being a humble bastard. I'm rooting for the guy to keep going... it's been fun to watch. Also gotta say, I'm surprised how smooth Bialik has been as Host. Maybe they could just keep split-hosting seasons with her and Jennings?

I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that that curly haired guy would be able to take down Matt. He didn't look very smart to me.
How did Matt have such a bad game?? He couldn't get anything.

SPAWN!!? Amodio didn't resemble himself at all in today's show. Well, a great run.

Don't think I could've stomached that cringey, faux-aw-shucks weirdo for much longer. THANK YOU! I've never visited the Jeopardy reddit board before, but I did yesterday to see what people were saying and it was full of people saying they were "heartbroken" and "devastated" and that they were going to "miss his smile". It was truly odd and was completely opposite to my mom and I's reaction. Good riddance.

Aaron Rodgers for permanent hosting duties btw! This show could use some sexing up and the current slut shaming woman is not it.

Mike Richards was hot too, and obviously gay. Always a plus.

Tonight's show was one of the most thrilling in a while. Just a good, close matchup, bold bets.
And a We Have Always Lived In The Castle question!

Anyone else think last night's Final question was worded badly? Topic was Music Legends - question asked about "This pair" even tho the answer involved two from a BAND.
Anyway, Amy Schneider is a powerhouse so far.... $855k - 4th all time games won and winnings. Do we think she'll catch Amodio's $1.5m? Gonna be a great Tournament of Champions later this year.

Yea it was worded really badly. Saying “this person’s” recollection or whatever word they used had me thinking the answer was only one person, that person being who the quote was attributed to, rather than which 2 musicians were being referred to. When I answered at home I only said McCartney and didn’t add Lennon in there until I saw they were writing down 2 names Anyway, saying that they met at a church thing and one of them was drunk was a dead giveaway that the drunk guy was Lennon. Shocked no one got it. You’re right about PAIR probably throwing everyone off but I was thinking of Lennon/McCartney as a songwriting pair so it does fit

Wow. Didn't expect Amy to lose on what I thought would have been a pretty easy Final for her.

Glad we got a new champion today so I don't have to continue to stare at Jay's '90s Bill Clinton hairdo...
