the Anti-Defamation League called for an investigation after a report surfaced in The Ringer that Richards made disparaging remarks about Jews, women and other groups in episodes of the comedy podcast “The Randumb Show” recorded in 2013 and 2014.
Sounds like he said he loves that toxic white male named Jesus.

Agreed. But it seems like the answer is always to bend the knee, because that's the power society has stupidly given to social media and that ilk.

How about bringing back Levar Burton instead?
He was by far the worst guest host

This was always going to happen after they named a white male as host.

And a victim. One of the luckiest people to ever walk the face of the earth considers herself unfairly discriminated against.

It’s funny that they had this whole rotation of guest hosts only for the producer of the show to basically hire himself as host, and then get fired 9 days later.

It's a TV show, not POTUS. Will be glad when this silliness has run its course. Jokes are just what they are. No one is really hurt by them when you know the setting/context.
People need to grow thinker skin, and get over themselves.

One could argue there has been much more vetting of this particular host candidate than there was of the guy in the POTUS seat currently.

I've been watching Jeopardy religiously since the f*cking 80s.
If they make an affirmative action hire like LeVar Burton I will never f*cking watch the show ever again.
If not Richards, it should be Buzzy Cohen or Ken Jennings. And, it's not even close. No other guest host even f*cking compared to Richards, Cohen and Jennings.

Talented child actress in Beaches.
Kills it as a kid leading a popular TV series.
Earns her PHD.
Auditions for a one-off appearance on Big Bang and excels to the point where they add her to the cast of the number one sitcom of the decade.
All with the handicap of being Hollywood unattractive.
Where does the luck come in?

So, lemme get this straight. The ADL finds disparaging comments, that we haven't heard yet, in order to get Richards fired and install a fellow Jew, Biyalik, as host?
Not saying Biyalik isn't deserving, but this also *stinks* of advocacy.
The ADL was founded to defend a pedophile. Never forget that.

And he asked female guests if they've sent boob pics. Again, who gives a shite.

The Ringer, which reviewed all 41 episodes of the podcast before they were deleted online, reported that Richards at one point asks his female assistant and his female co-host whether they had ever taken nude photos, or in his words, “booby pictures.”

It's OK to make jokes about him on twitter.

"Jeopardy" is a noun meaning "peril or danger." Here it is in a sentence:

The Daily Beast reported that the “Big Bang Theory” alum sparked controversy in October 2017, shortly after powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was exposed as a serial sexual predator in groundbreaking investigative news stories that sparked the #MeToo movement.
At the height of national outrage over the extent of Weinstein’s alleged abuses, Bialik penned a controversial New York Times op-ed. She argued that she had never been sexually harassed or assaulted in Hollywood because she’s a “nontraditional looking” actress who chooses to dress modestly.

In what way is this controversial at all?

From someone who watches jeopardy everyday, please god do not announce Lavar, he was awful.
Ken Jennings is still the most obvious choice. When I see Ken Jennings, I think of Jeopardy. Trebek is the only other person who did that for me.
