All that stuff they got away with? They might eventually get what they deserve.

If he had just stayed more or less in the shadows, as the Executive Producer, he'd likely still have that high paying job.

Once he was hired as Alex's replacement, the bright lights were on him suddenly, and past transgressions were discovered.

This guy chose himself as the replacement emcee, and that whole 6 months of candidate tryouts was all a ruse. He never intended to pick any of them. He's not even very good, he just wanted a TV gig.

I was just reading about this on Vulture yesterday. It's a blog about tv topics that's published by The New Yorker magazine. (link) https://www.vulture.com/article/sony-jeopardy-host-search-mike-richards-fail.html

They were saying in this article that Richards should be fired by Sony for pulling this stunt. And now it has really happened. Jeopardy fans deserve better than this!
