If they wanted Blossom to take over as host in the first place, why did they go through the trouble of naming this guy as host and then cancelling the shite out of him?

Jesus Christ, those remarks were not even offensive. People are insane and deserve to be ignored.

You’re too stupid to know Obama ended combat operations in Afghanistan two years before Trump was elected.

I don’t know what is going on in this thread, but the biggest issue is that Richards appears to have use his position to insert himself into the mix, under false pretenses of COVID when Ken Jennings had a scheduling conflict that the Jeopardy had already scheduled to accommodate. Then while he was supposed to be helping ensure the guest hosts were as successful as possible, he was actually vying for the permanent host spot. And finally, he selected the video segments to show to the focus groups, leaving other producers out of the process altogether.

So combined with some termination lawsuits (including in his short time at Jeopardy), I think the clear and unnecessary conflict of interest in the selection process, is enough to justify having someone else as the permanent host. And it’s not like people were clamoring for some random guy name Mike Richards anyways. These comments are just the cherry on top, but I think the other issues were more relevant.

Bill Simmons (founder of the Ringer) has said and written far more offensive and anti-female things through the course of his career than what Mike Richards said in these instances.

I hate social media so much (not including message boards like this in that category).

We have a cancel culture if they can go back and find something on a conservative from 50 years ago, it appears to still work.

You literally are pointing out cancel culture yet align yourself with it.

Just think about this, 81 million votes because the other guy said offensive comments. Even though both men have.

You have no leg to stand on.

You are so pathetically transparent. You are a feckless, gormless little worm of a man. Man may have been created in the image of god, but you must have been made out of all the rotten, cast off parts circling around the cosmic drain. It’s as if all the bad things were gathered up in a gloopy pile and left to ferment in the hateful sun, and you crawled out, a misshapen lump forgotten by God.

There is no part of you that is redeeming.

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.
Cancelled for that? Jesus. It’s just a joke.
