The online casino Bovada had a betslip on this; Richards was anywhere from +800 to +1000. That means if you bet $100 you’d have won $800 or $1,000 respectively, plus return of your initial bet.

Um... so how do the bets go in this case, lol?

That... is an option. From a pure gameplay perspective, I'm not the biggest fan of the ToC going to have a different host than the normal games; that seems like it's going to give a pacing advantage to the winner of the College/Teachers tournaments.

Mayim Bialik hosting the whole shebang was a much better option though.

The show isn't me, the show isn't necessarily [a] can of soup, how much that is, it's watching people go bananas, and there's going to be some of that missing."

Given that she'd be splitting hosting duties with a weasel, that should have been the only option.

Maybe she will in time (in a couple years or so)

I guess Jeopardy has officially jumped the shark now.  I don’t see the point having 2 hosts.

And seriously, spin-offs!?  Jeopardy has never had to result in spin-offs to keep the show “fresh.”  I see Mike is gonna gimmick the show to death like he did Price.  :roll:

I guess this whole “host search” was another gimmick too…

I would bet a lot of money that Mike Richards was brought on by Sony to take over hosting either J or Wheel one day. He has proven to be a winner as EP and a pretty fine host.

I should have bet my house on this hunch, hindsight is 20/20

The real thing that catches my eye here is they must have had serious interest in expanding the show’s footprint before all of this started.

You don’t create primetime and spinoff series as a spur-of-the-moment decision to open up a position for another guest host. This seems like something that’s been in the works for a while.

"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

How is Mike going to continue producing Wheel of Fortune (and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune)? Won't he be too busy with Jeopardy? Harry Friedman already treated Jeopardy better than Wheel of Fortune before he left, which is why Jeopardy became more popular than Wheel of Fortune starting about 5-10 years ago. Is Mike going to do the same thing and Wheel of Fortune will be cancelled after Pat and Vanna retire? I hope not! I don't want a world with only Jeopardy and no Wheel!

What about Rock N' Roll Jeopardy? - a pretty successful spin off with a separate host.

I see no reason to froth at the mouth about this.  If Mayim is hosting the ABC prime time version, the special tournaments, and whatever else, is that really so egregious?  Or is this more "Mike Bad!  Won't Watch!" ?

I agree with you. I won't be watching the daily syndicated program after this season ends.

People have multiple gigs. It’s fine. No one is somehow slighting Wheel. That’s pure fiction.

Try convincing the guys on Buy a Vowel Boards of that. Not gonna name names, but one guy there has an absolute "the sky is falling!" reaction at this point.
