Basically, it sounds like Mike Richards<\/a> (who also happens to be Jeopardy<\/strong>‘s EP) is The Chosen One. ETA<\/strong>: Although worth pointing out that “advanced negotiatons” doesn’t yet mean “has the job”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Richards apparently getting the Jeopardy gig is roughly culturally equivalent to Dermot o’ Leary hosting Mastermind. Possibly worth noting that Alex Trebek hosted a load of lowbrow stuff before and in addition to working on J.<\/p>

I’ve always felt Mike a smart guy, as a producer pretty good at understanding modern audiences even if he probably wouldn’t bleed gameshow if you cut him with a knife.<\/p>

I’m sure he’ll do fine, but it’s quite a boring, safe choice for 2021 really. Maybe that’s what it needs, I don’t know, it gets by largely on inertia these days.<\/p>

This feels like the safest choice but I can see why the safest choice isn\u2019t going to thrill anyone. Tricky.<\/p>— Luke Sweeney (@lukeisverytired) August 5, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
