Mike Richards is leaving The "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" game show franchises following the much publicized reports that he made offensive comments about several groups. A Sony executive released a statement saying Mike Richards will no longer serve as Executive Producer for either of the long running game shows.This news comes about a week or so after Richards was out of the hosting job for the trivia show "Jeopardy" (a VERY highly coveted hosting job!) Mike Richards reportedly was heard making offensive comments about women ,Jewish people and those with mental disabilities several years ago on a podcast...it just goes to show you have to be very careful what you say and do, especially with todays technology, because you never know who might be watching or listening. You also never can tell when some of your "not especially proud" moments may surface again.
