It’s been less than 24 hours since news broke of Jeopardy‘s very own executive producer Mike Richards essentially passing the torch to himself to become the next host of the show, and the internet is not happy.
Many hoped that either LeVar Burton or Mayim Bialik would ultimately get the job (us, included), but as negotiations draw to a close, it unfortunately doesn’t seem like that’ll be the case.

We’ll continue to monitor this story as updates become available.
