The future of Jeopardy! has been speculated about quite a lot in recent weeks, after a rotating array of guest hosts indicated possible new status quos for the series following the passing of Alex Trebek. Last week, audiences got their answer of who would permanently be taking over as Jeopardy! host, with series executive producer Mike Richards set to host the syndicated episodes of the series. That all got complicated earlier this week after offensive remarks made by Richards on a podcast resurfaced online, with some fans calling for him to be removed from the new post. According to a new report, the recent controversy has not stopped Richards’ tenure as host, with The Hollywood Reporter confirming that he began filming the new season of the series as planned on Thursday.
