New 'Jeopardy!' host Mike Richards is stepping down from the job following controversy over offensive comments he made years ago

about his inside role in the hiring search, his involvement in past employment lawsuits, and a series of offensive jokes he made on a podcast years ago.

The exit of Mike Richards, the game show’s executive producer, halted production on the show’s coming season, and sent studio Sony Pictures Television back into the process of finding a successor to Alex Trebek. “Over the last several days it has become clear that moving forward as host would be too much of a distraction for our fans and not the right move for the show.
