‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ executive producer Mike Richards fired
Fox News
Sony's decision comes just days after he exited as the quiz show’s newly appointed host because of past misogynistic and other comments.
"I’m writing to let you know that Mike will no longer be serving as EP of Wheel and Jeopardy! effective immediately. We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks. That clearly has not happened. "Michael Davies from Embassy Row has agreed to help with production on an interim basis until further notice. Michael and I will work together with all of you in the weeks ahead to ensure that production remains on schedule and we do not miss a beat as we head into the new season.More Related News
