This could be amazing. Everytime he wonders about a fact out loud, the contestants have to try and explain it to him so they can move on. Could be a nice change of pace. New host, new era, new format.

It happened so fast after so little pushback that I’m honestly curious if other people involved knew Richard’s dipshit coup attempt was gonna immediately blew up in his face and just let him do it to get owned on a National platform

This is, unfortunately, true for a lot of organizations many of which are widely supported and extremely powerful (case in point: the Catholic church). Heck, until very recently it was the norm pretty much everywhere for two adults having a loving consensual relationship to be seen has more depraved and taboo than sexually assaulting a minor.

The whole thing sounds like some specific exec at the top just really, really wanted her to be the next host, and when she declined rather then move to other candidates for the full time position they just gave it to the producer and begged her to guest host from time to time.

This is what happened - TMZ reported on it (TMZ is a tabloid but they get legit scoops). They wanted her from the get go which is totally loving insane. The guest hosts were a ratings stunt.

As has been pointed out elsewhere it's akin to "many people are saying".

“I don’t subscribe to this belief (because it’s a bad look for me) but a lot of my totally reasonable friends do. I just wanted to publicly speak about this opinion that I definitely do not hold.”

I’m just bewildered that she was apparently handpicked for the show. I mean, why her? Is one of the producers a really big BBT fan? I guess she has the outward appearance of being smart, even though it quickly becomes apparent that that is not the case if you look into her a bit more. I don’t think I saw a single genuinely positive reaction to her as host, it was basically all “Who the gently caress is Mike Richards? Well, at least the other one’s ok I guess.”

It’s funny, I read that situation the opposite way. The producers wanted Richards because he’s their guy but then when bad vibes started to come they thought they needed to get a non-white guy to do something and Bialik was willing to do the prime time specials to get the “ugh a white guy” voices off their back. What they didn’t expect was for Richards to be made even more toxic and for Bialik to to also have some bad beliefs that might reflect poorly on the show. They probably expected to be able to just name Bialik the full host when they decided that Richards had to go but now they have to go through the guest hosting thing again.

It’s not gonna be Burton, as much as he would be good at the job. At this point it’s a combination of already not liking him for it and now the added spite of not wanting to completely give in to fan demands. I also sort of get the impression that there are probably a few powerful people at the top of that chain who don’t like Jennings and wouldn’t want him as full-time host, either because he went and took the job with The Chase or a simple personality clash.

I don’t know if any of the other good guest hosts from the initial run would want the job at this point, I think there’s a bit of a hex on it at the moment. I could see someone like a Dr. Oz wanting it but god if there’s one person in that group worse than Bialik or Richards it’s him, that motherfucker is evil.

No, TMZ interviewed people and literally none of the guest hosts was approached about taking over. The whole process was specifically to get Bialik and when she couldn't commit to a full schedule they promised her recurring guest host spots while giving the main job to Richards.

Even if she didn't have any baggage she was one of the worst in terms of actually hosting and replacing Trebeck with Blossom is a joke. I didn't think it could get even dumber than it already was but it did.
