Jeopardy! had a new guest host and fans got a kick out of it. Producer Mike Richards had his turn behind that podium and he’ll be there for a few weeks before the long list of celebrity hosts continues. He explained what the deal was to the audience and they seemed receptive. COVID-19 is no joke and due to spikes in the Los Angeles area, they couldn’t just bring new people into the environment to film. Despite all that business, the executive producer proved to be a fun presence on the show. Many remarked that he seemed to acquit himself very well after Ken Jennings took his leave. For those looking for a bit more star power, it will be there. Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, and reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers are all getting their chance to be the host for a day as well. Check out what Richards had to say during the beginning of the show down below:
I think @Jeopardy can stop looking for Alex Trebek’s replacement because their executive producer / temporary host - Mike Richards - is a FOX!!! I don’t wanna look at anyone else… pic.twitter.com/FjvlxFQEBN
