Mike Richards lawyers up after 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune' ousting
Fox News
Mike Richards has hired an attorney in what appears to be an upcoming legal battle against Sony following his ousting as executive producer of "Jeopardy!" and “Wheel of Fortune,” Fox News can confirm.
Richards has dominated headlines in the past few weeks due to his short-lived hiring to fill the shoes of the late Alex Trebek as host of the long-running game show. However, his hiring soon became controversial after past derogatory comments he made about women, Asians and Jews from a 2013-14 podcast resurfaced, causing a public uproar. The backlash caused Richards to step down from his new role as host and instead remain as executive producer of the game show as well as "Wheel of Fortune." However, Sony execs confirmed this week that he no longer holds either role.
