Bill... I want to watch a movie, but was nodding bad at work today so thinking the movie would end up watching me, so probably youtube...
Mike Richards has stepped down a week after he nominated himself to host Jeopardy. Maybe the fan favorite stand-in host, LeVar Burton, will be permanent.
This was the investigative article that was Richards' ultimate undoing. He would've probably survived the revelations of the workplace discrimination lawsuits, but not this. Great reporting.
"A Smile With Sharp Teeth": Mike Richards’s Rise to ‘Jeopardy!’ Host Sparks Questions About His Past
The ‘Jeopardy!’ host search is finally over. New reporting reveals that concerns about Richards and the show’s selection process remain.

Mayim for now, maybe permanent:

Mayim Bialik to be first guest host of 'Jeopardy!' following Mike Richards' departure
Mayim Bialik will be the first guest host of the weekday edition of "Jeopardy!" in the wake of Mike Richards' abrupt departure from the job.

There are definitely a lot of pro-LeVar Burton fans on Twitter, but I've also seen regular watchers complain he didn't do as well as some of the others during his week as host. To that I say, he was probably very nervous, was only given one week of shows (all taped the same day, so no opportunity for feedback), and as a professional actor with extensive hosting experience, he would become much more polished with time (in the final Friday episode I saw he did a decent job).
If we learned anything of watching months of former contests, journalists, a jock, actors, the show's producer, a fake doctor, etc., guest hosting the show, anyone can do this job. So their best bet is to give the fans what they want: LEVAR!
