It’s not cancel culture, it’s being held accountable and facing consequences for terrible conduct.
Isn't that what "Cancel Culture" is? Every time I hear that phrase it's applied to someone/thing that's being held accountable for something.It’s not cancel culture, it’s being held accountable and facing consequences for terrible conduct.
So are you saying he shouldn't have been let go? Guy has a track record. And I think that if the track record hadn't come about to hurt him, his questionable ethics would have.

Yes, that is exactly what I think. I am so over the crap coming out from how many flipping years ago. Gimme a break. Those without sins, please step forward. Jeopardy is dead to me. I don't give a flip who hosts now.
That is a load of crap!!! NO ONE has ever had an innocent past. Opinions and the tides change and people grow. So short-sided.
The podcasts were 7-8 years ago, when the man was 38-39. And they were produced a few years after the lawsuits were filed.
You say that people grow. But this shows that the man didn't change after a large life lesson (the lawsuit), nor did he learn. Short-sided (sic) indeed.
Lots of opinions.Settled then is never actually settled? Whatever. I'm done with Jeopardy. When will anyone learn that history cannot be reviewed under today's standards or eyes? The lawsuit actually lists the other guy much more prevalently, but no matter in today's unforgiving society.
I'm a woman by the way. Not at all crazy offended.
Regardless of how one feels about the pod casts from years ago...the fact that he inserted himself into the guest host position after manipulating Ken Jennings is not right and the fact that he was actually involved with the show in a leadership position is truly a conflict of interest...I’m very glad he will not be hosting after all. There are quite a few other issues in addition to his pod casts that should have kept him from being selected.

Mayim Bialik is going to be the first guest host of this new round. She will tape 15 episodes.

Her sitcom has first priority. Sort of like how Aaron Rodgers' fall/winter job has priority over anything else he does.If I was Jeopardy, and these go well...why bring on any more? She's already a main host...now she can just be the main host (and maybe they just don't plan as many "specials" til her schedule opens up more). Dragging this out will just court more controversy...
I would not consider that bizarre place trusted media.
There's a world of difference from having to answer for what you did in the 80s as a teen versus things you said less than a decade ago when you knew better.
