Selecting the newest host of the hit game show “Jeopardy!”
has been a rollercoaster ride.
Filling long-term host Alex Trebek’s shoes will certainly not be an easy task.
It was once assumed that “Jeopardy!”
executive producerMike Richardswould be taking over as the full-time host.
That is no longer in the works, according toVox.
As it turns out, Richards wasn’t the best guy behind the scenes.
Several accusations were made about his treatment of women and minorities.
This was clearly not a good look, especially as a replacement for someone as magical as Trebek.
Bialik had a successful run as a guest host of the show.
She was even planning to film some primetime “Jeopardy!”
specials with Richards as the main host (perVariety).
Well, not exactly.
There were mixed reviews from people on Twitter.
Oh and Twitter does not want @levarburton."
@missmayim Look forward to watching.
I still think this was a stupid publicity stunt @Jeopardy."
Others were not pleased whatsoever,tweeting, “Thanks for the heads up.
I’ll be sure to not tune in.”
Clearly, the show’s fans were conflicted about Bialik returning to the podium.
