Richards, who has been “Jeopardy!” executive producer since 2019, already had a lot of baggage. There were questions about how closely he was involved in the process of selecting a new host while also vying for the position himself.

The mounting controversies made it untenable for Richards to remain as host. Yet despite the revelations about his checkered past, Sony had said Richards would continue to serve as executive producer and lead the show through yet another transition period. “Mike has been with us for the last two years and has led the ‘Jeopardy!’ team through the most challenging time the show has ever experienced. It is our hope that as EP he will continue to do so with professionalism and respect,” the studio said in a statement announcing Richards’ resignation as host.
In terms of his history of offensive remarks, the studio said, “we have spoken with him about our concerns and our expectations moving forward.”
