‘Danger!’ was short on hosts after Ken Jennings‘Stint expires – so a main outfielder had to make himself rope and climb on the field … which turns out to be a splendor of a decision.
Executive manufacturer Mike Richards Monday stepped in to host the quiz show – the broadcast begins by introducing himself and explaining to the homeowners why there is not a more familiar face on their TV sets … like a celeb, or ‘ a ‘Danger!’ alum.
Long story short … the team behind the scenes struggled to discuss someone – which he said was partly due to COVID fears – so he decided to take up the mantle himself and submit answers to the participants this week . He says it best … the program must continue.
While the rest of the half-hour played out, it became clear that Richards was natural, and the reviews online were excellent. People loved him – his style, his humor and humor … all reminiscent of the late, wonderful Alex Trebek.
The show went smoothly – and Richards says he will be hosting for the next two weeks.
As we reported, the show has already announced a slew of celeb hosts in the coming months, but it looks like people really like Mike!
Maybe an internal promotion should be considered ??? Seriously, he was amazing.
