Mike Richards Humiliated Former Guest Hosts
According to some sources, former Jeopardy guest hosts Buzzy Cohen, and Ken Jennings were also present during the taping at the studio. But neither Cohen nor Jennings saw Mike’s debut. When they reached the studio in Culver City, they were informed that Mike was nervous to see them on the sound stage. Henceforth, they were taken to a separate green room where they watched the taping.
What did Sony Say About it?
Speaking about this embarrassing situation, Sony reported that these are all false allegations. Moreover, the report said that they were escorted to a separate green room due to COVID-19 protocols. Sony is practicing strict COVID-19 protocols on the sets of Jeopardy. Besides that, Sony did not allow its Chief Executive on the stage as well. Now that Mike has ceased his position and took over his job behind the cameras, Mayim Bialik will lead the new episodes.
