He has his own messed up things he said such as there's nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheel chair I've seen people try to go after him repeatedly; they ALWAYS bring up this comment and only this comment. It never really goes anywhere, and it doesn't seem like there's much other ammunition. He doesn't have similar baggage. His biggest issue now is the optics of replacing one white guy with another... after one of the people deciding has been recorded saying he roots for white men to be TV hosts. Which would ironically making Burton host problematic as I said, as it may look like a decision made with compensating for Richards' sins in mind. Which isn't fair on him either. And don't get me started on the FAN Rule #1 Unfriendly talk I am sure is going on.

"Dictionary.com is throwing shade." is a sentence I never expected to type.

This much drama over selecting a game show host for a boring game show.

He would never do this, but I can't the image out of my head of Levar Burton telling the Jeopardy producers that Richards isn't the right fit for the PR image of the show and handing over the notable evidence of his past while saying, "But you don't have to take my word for it."

Not to glorify him, but speaking of PIR tryouts, this was posted today:

The moral of this story is never name your kid Michael Richards if you don't want to raise a racist.

Wasn’t really a fan of this dude. IMO the best guest host was Buzzy. He was calm. Comfortable. Not awkward with the guests. Knew his stuff. And is just generally likable. I know Levar is what the majority want. But if you watched Buzzy do the TOC he was perfect for the role.

I know she probably can't do more than the special episodes they've already signed her on for because of Call Me Kat, but I really enjoyed Mayim Bialik as host. She was probably my favorite of the ones I saw. I gave up watching however many weeks ago. Personally, I like the format of The Chase better. I like a lot of things about The Chase better, tbh.

So I guess we're stuck with Blossom? Only for the specials. As long as she's got her sitcom she isn't going to have time to be the main host.
