“Jeopardy!” executive producer Mike Richards has weighed in for the first time on the prospect that he may be named the show’s permanent host, and he addressed decade-old allegations made against him as part of employment disputes during his tenure as executive producer of “The Price Is Right.”
In a memo sent Monday morning to employees of the Sony Pictures TV-produced quiz show, Richards said he was “humbled and deeply honored” to be considered a potential successor to Alex Trebek, who fronted “Jeopardy!” for nearly 37 years before his death last November.
Richards emerged publicly as the front-runner for the job last week after Variety reported he was in advanced negotiations for the job. Within hours, details of litigation from the past decade during his time as executive producer of “The Price Is Right” and “Let’s Make a Deal,” which FremantleMedia North America produces for CBS, surfaced.

Exclusive: Long-running game show The Price Is Right is heading back into production with a redesigned, Covid-friendly set and all of its usual rounds, but, for the first time in its nearly 50-year run, it will be without its rambunctious audience.
Production returns later today at Television City in Los Angeles and Evelyn Warfel, who took over as showrunner and exec producer of the Fremantle-produced CBS show last year, tells Deadline how they got it back filming.
Warfel said that after the show stopped production in March, she and her team spent the last few months working out what a Covid-friendly production, following all of the local, state and guild guidelines would look like for The Price Is Right.
“We quickly realized we were not going to be able to have 300 people on the show sitting close together,” she said. “We decided that we were going to come back...
