CULVER CITY, Calif. (CBS) — There was a new guest host at the helm of “Jeopardy!” Monday night. The show’s executive producer Mike Richards is stepping behind the podium for two weeks.
Former champion contestant Ken Jennings had been filling in for the past six weeks following legendary host Alex Trebek’s death.

“I’m hosting today and for the next two weeks to keep the greatest quiz show in the world going,” Richards told viewers Monday.
He explained why he was hosting while some more famous faces wait in the wings.
“We have some amazing guest hosts coming that I can’t wait for you to see, but with the COVID outbreak here in LA folks were understandably a little reticent to shoot. Ken Jennings did a great job but he’s unavailable due to obligations with his show ‘The Chase,’” Richards said. “So as the producer, my job is to quite literally live the mantra, ‘the show must go on.’”
Our executive producer Mike Richards shares some thoughts from the Jeopardy! stage before stepping behind the lectern.

“Jeopardy!” airs weeknights at 7:30 p.m. on WBZ-TV.
