After weeks of celebrity tryouts, leaks and heated speculation by game show fans, current executive producer Mike Richards and actor Mayim Bialik have been named permanent co-hosts of Jeopardy!, marking the first time two people will host one of television's most popular game shows.
Richards will host the daily syndicated program, while Bialik hosts the primetime series and new spinoffs. The announcement was first reported by The Daily Beast.
Widely circulated reports that Richard was first in line for the job provoked immediate backlash online. Critics described the choice as unadventurous and pointed to a lawsuit alleging toxic behavior in a previous job. Infuriated fans of LeVar Burton, the beloved television icon known for his work on shows ranging from Roots to Reading Rainbow to Star Trek: The Next Generation were also quick to express displeasure.

“No, she’s Modern Orthodox, at least as far as observance goes. That implies some relationship with a god. “
She calls herself “a Zionist.” That’ll inflame the anti-Israel crowd.
The last time I read an article about her, she had to stop sleeping in her bedroom because her cats kept using her bed as a litterbox.
Huh?
Whaaa?
Oh you mean about teaching the group B kids to catch up to group A kids.
Yeah, that would be forcing the little darlings to “act White”. Can’t have that now can we.
Do yeah, I unintentionally headed into sarcasm territory.
Pardon me mental numbness. I’ve had three appointments today. 1 doctor, 1 oil change and 1 insurance agent. My brain is numb and doesn’t care if I catch up today.
His family was a fan of the ’70s and ’80s TV sci-fi, The Six Million Dollar Man. Thus their parents named Buzzy after the name from character Steve Austin. He also has a sister, Lindsay Wagner, as a sibling in his family.
Also this: He is married (to a woman) and has two kids.
Some guys just have "gay face."
A matter of opinion as John Goodman says in The Big Lebowski.
LeVar Burton sounded like the Reading Rainbow host that he is. His heart was there and you could tell he was enjoying himself and making a full effort - and he did a good job - but at the same time, the style just did not fit the mold for Jeopardy.
I agree that Mike Richards did the best job of all the guest hosts - fit into the role with ease - and it is good to see he gets the job. Not sure how Bialik will work out.
