Mike Richards, a white male, was forced to "step down" as the new host and replacement for Alex Trebek.
Allegedly he said something mean on a social media platform. I call on all who are tired of the social justice, racist, anti white man movement to boycott the show. |

What kind of idiot who works in media goes on a podcast anytime in the last decade and makes jokes about fat women and Jews?
Zero fucks given. |

I haven't watched Jeopardy since Art Fleming left the show in 1974.
I guess I'll be boycotting because I don't do TV. |

I’d like to know exactly what he said, simply because it might be original enough to use again some day
|

Did that years ago.
Trebeque was a fucking pompous liberal douchebag that looked down his nose at everybody. |
|
I don't care. He wasn't the best for the job.
I'd take Jennings over Richards and I didn't like him either. |

View Quote To be fair, the vast majority of the guest hosts over the past couple of months have been white men. If Jeopardy was the problem, they would have filled the entire lineup of guest hosts with minorities, but they did not. In fact, the ONLY minorities that I can recall was Levar Burton, and that tall basketball player lady who also used to be on a morning news show or something (who was actually a pretty good host). |

I have only watched it a few times since Alex left, will not watch now.
|
|
What did he actually SAY that was so outrageous. Does anyone know? A link?
|
|
Haven't had cable or antenna in 10 years, OP. That's how you boycott all of them.

I have been boycotting jeopardy for some time now. Once I started to crunch the numbers and found out that the contestants aren't equally represented compared to the racial, preferred sex and geological make up of the USA I stopped watching.
I can not support such a show with that level of bigotry. |

I thought this thread was a warning about the perils of boycotting.

View Quote Just my opinion, but I think we should care about folks getting 'removed' for exercising free speech. It is fully my belief that a corporation should be able to decide to fire anybody for any reason at all. If someone's putting a bad light on the corporation I definitely understand their desire to separate themselves from that. But if now the politically correct police are determining that someone should lose their job over we have serious fucking issues that deserve our attention. Let's not forget, the people complaining about stupid shit are usually pretty uninformed, and are happy with that. |

OP is wrong. Actions have consequences. He said stupid things, now he pays the price.
|

They need a "correct" replacement for him.
Jeopardy.... Now hosted by Ru Paul. "OMG! Historic!!" |

Quoted: Piss off. I love when comedians push the envelope and exercise their 1A.

Zero fucks given. Piss off. I love when comedians push the envelope and exercise their 1A. That's what makes a lot of comics funny, they take something to the extreme, or they make fun of societal norms. Some of the funniest bits in history would get the comedian canceled today. Red Foxx, Chevy Chase, Flip Wilson, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, etc. would have been canceled before getting famous. Kevin Hart was removed from Academy awards for an old joke. Watch some of the old Rat Pack movies and clips. The joking between Sammy Davis Jr. and the others would be considered extremely offensive today. Never mind the sexism and misogyny in their songs and movies. |

They should bring Darrell Hammond on to host but only if he is doing Sean Connery
Darrell Hammond - Best Of Sean Connery |
|
They should advertise an openly racist / offensive week on jeopardy.
Like. Ebonics Rednecks The Jews Did it Curry a favor Camels Then run the ratings. |

View Quote SJW crap aside, the person hosting an intellectual quiz show has to have a certain level of intelligence to explain wrong answers, partial answers and understand right answers. The only place SJW crap would equal higher intelligence is in some communist fantasy land. |

I guess they could drop the testing if they wanted an audience of 'gumball machines' to match the contestants. |

They're trying to ride on Alex Trebek's coat tails and it's not working.
Jeopardy needs to go away and return a year or so later with a new look but the same basic format. |
