The article has excerpts and audio of some of the comments, and the website hosting the podcast was taken down nearly immediately after it was pointed out to Sony. I sure as hell hope his days are numbered after this. --- https://imgur.com/VeNBg https://imgur.com/gd5jC8q https://imgur.com/PKIy7 https://imgur.com/3p29JqP <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:957241137] in For Jeopar...

Shadowplay 08/19/21 4:10:43 PM #4:	Not to mention that he's admitted that he's bad at trivia while Alex Trebek admitted to knowing 60-70% of the answers to the clues, which means that Richards will not be able to engage with the contestants in the same way that Trebek could.

MARKINGRAM22 08/19/21 4:23:56 PM #14:	Honestly he just shot the shit with no filter on the radio. None of it is anything crazy I'm sure the people moralizing have said worse in their life if someone recorded them. People are just salty that their favorite wasn't chosen. I mean people really think saying women use halloween to dress like whores is too far? That is like a joke every late night host has made over the years. It is like the benign jokes become serious statements depending on if the article is trying to sow outrage. <cite>MARKINGRAM22 posted [p:957241715] in For Jeopar...
