So He Resigned!

So apparently the people have spoken and Richards has made a decision. He resigned only a week after becoming the New Host of Jeopardy.

Tweets are coming in. Mostly about Levar Burton hosting. Check out some of these tweets.

Mike Richards, a ‘Jeopardy!’ executive producer, had already weathered controversy over his inside role in the hiring search.

I think I might write an essay about this but… it shouldn’t be this hard for @levarburton to receive serious consideration as @Jeopardy host. He isn’t some random idea people have. He taught generations of children to read. He has real depth. He is charming and handsome.

Another person tweeted…

Direct quote from my husband 30 min ago: “We all just want the guy from Star Trek and Reading Rainbow to host. He’s our Mr. Rogers. He’s the only good person left.”

And looking at Levar Burton’s feed, we read an expression that people are associating with this development. Or maybe he was just Happy it was Friday.
