Am I allowed to be against this but ok with someone else becoming the host? There were better choices than him.




He wasn't the best choice, but that doesn't mean he deserves to have to quit because of something he said on a podcast 7 years ago.

If it was so bad why did Biden follow through? Is he going to blame every Eph up on Trump and take all the credit for the good? He was voted into office to lead. He certainly had no problem entering more executive orders removing Trump policies than any president ever had before.

It’s going to be an exhausting four years for you trying to rationalize and justify all of Biden’s screw ups.

Off course your bitch arse would be in favor of a forever war. You have no skin in the game, and never will.

You should really look into this more before making an ignorant comment.

I couldn't find it. I'll try to look in a little while, but all I was able to find so far was the second USA today article that I posted.

I didn't read what the supposedly offending remarks were and I do think this absolutely sucks... but I have to respect him for trying to protect the Jeopardy legacy and doing whatever he thinks is best to be a good steward of it. If it had been anyone else, I'd be sad they caved in to cancel culture... but he was so intimately involved with this one, I think it's a little different.

Remember kids, you can be friends with the KKK, put millions of blacks in prison, do Blackface…pretty much anything you want, as long as you’re a democrat politician or talk show host

according to The Ringer's review of the 41 episodes available online until Tuesday


So they had someone listen to 41 episodes just to try to find something offensive?

On Thursday, Richards came under fire after some past offensive comments were resurfaced by a report from The Ringer, published Wednesday. It included several quotes from a since-deleted episode of Richards' podcast, "The Randumb Show," which he hosted in 2013 and 2014 as a way to promote a behind-the-scenes look at CBS game show "The Price is Right," for which he was a co-executive producer.


What did he say?

Standard procedure for anyone that's high profile and not progressive.

Sift through their entire life history to see if there's an opportunity to destroy them.

You will be progressive, or you will be canceled.

What are the exact quotes?

Richards’ comments included calling one of his female co-hosts a “booth slut” for an appearance as a promotional model at CES and tying Jewish people to a comment about big noses\. Richards reportedly said, “Ixnay on the ose-nay. She’s not an ew-jay.”

Joe Buck wasnt bad


He actually was pretty good but it's hard to separate Jeopardy Joe Buck from football/baseball Joe Buck in my mind. I was partial to LeVar Burton because I grew up with Reading Rainbow and Star Trek TNG reruns but he suffered from having no competitive games during his week.

No jackass. I put country first and I don't think we should have been in there to the degree we were in the first place.

Everyone knew what would happen when we pulled out, but its naive to sign a peace treaty with the Taliban.

Either way, we have this discussion in another thread, this is about Mike Richards getting canceled.
