'Jeopardy!' episodes featuring ousted host Mike Richards will still air

The episodes of "Jeopardy!" hosted by Mike Richards will air as scheduled even after he stepped down from his role due to past comments.

While Richards resigned from the hosting role of the game show nine days after the announcement was made, he will remain the show's executive producer, according to a statement made by Sony. "Mike has been with us for the last two years and has led the ‘Jeopardy!’ team through the most challenging time the show has ever experienced," a Sony spokesperson told Fox News in a statement. "It is our hope that as EP he will continue to do so with professionalism and respect."
