Previously, it was announced that Bialik would host primetime #Jeopardy specials when Richards was first announced as the full-time host. bit.ly/2WbLj3H
However, Richards released a statement that he would step down from hosting the show just nine days after he was chosen. His unceremonious exit came after disparaging remarks he repeatedly made about women were resurfaced. bit.ly/2WbLj3H
This came on the heels of revelations that Richards was named in a lawsuit by former “Price Is Right” models who accused him of making insensitive statements and taking other questionable actions around models on the show who became pregnant. bit.ly/2WbLj3H
At the time of his exit, Richards had already taped multiple episodes, which will air as scheduled to maintain continuity with the contestants who won on those episodes. He will remain with #Jeopardy as an executive producer. bit.ly/2WbLj3H
