CBSN
"Jeopardy!" has found its new hosts. Mike Richards, the show's executive producer, has been named the new host of the beloved, syndicated game show, while Mayim Bialik will take over the primetime and spinoff series, Sony announced Wednesday.
The news comes after "Jeopardy!" spent several months searching for a new host after the death of host Alex Trebek, who died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. "We took this decision incredibly seriously. A tremendous amount of work and deliberation has gone into it, perhaps more than has ever gone into the selection of hosts for a show — deservedly so because it's Jeopardy! and we are following the incomparable Alex Trebek," Sony Chairman Ravi Ahuja said in a statement Wednesday.More Related News
