‘Danger!’ was short after guest hosts Ken Jennings‘stint passed – so a main showrunner had to cut himself up and take the field … which turned out to be a nice decision.
Executive producer Mike Richards stepped in on Monday to host the quiz show – the broadcast began by introducing themselves and explaining to viewers at home why there wasn’t a more famous face on their TV … like a celebrity, or a “Danger!” alum.
Long story short … the team behind the scenes had a hard time booking anyone – which he said was partly due to COVID fears – so he decided to pick up the mantle himself and present answers to this week’s participants. He says it best … the show must go on.
As the rest of the half hour passed … it became clear that Richards was a natural, and the online reviews were great. People loved him – his style, his wit and humor … all very much late, Excellent Alex Trebek
The show went off without a hitch – and Richards says he will host for the next 2 weeks.
As we already reported, the show has already announced a ton of celeb guest hosts in the coming months, but people seem to really like Mike!
Maybe an in-house promotion should be considered ??? Seriously, he was great.
