Career
Richards was the second host of Beauty and the Geek and produced numerous game shows, including Weakest Link. Until the end of the 2018–19 season, Richards was the executive producer of The Price Is Right and Let's Make a Deal. He was a candidate to host The Price is Right before Drew Carey was chosen. Richards hosted GSN's 2012 revival of The Pyramid and the network's 2017–18 version of Divided.
Richards left both shows in 2019 and joined Sony Pictures Television, where he was assigned to Who Wants to be a Millionaire as an executive producer alongside host Jimmy Kimmel and Michael Davies for the nine-episode first season of the show during the 2019–20 season. For the 2020–21 season, Richards succeeded the retiring Harry Friedman as executive producer of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!.
After Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died in 2020, Richards appeared at the start of the November 9, 2020 episode to pay tribute to him. He later filled in for two weeks as a guest host of the show, with his first episode airing on February 22, 2021. In August 2021, it was reported that Richards had entered "advanced negotiations" to become the permanent host, though with other candidates still in contention.
After that announcement, lawsuits filed against Richards during his tenure as an executive producer on The Price is Right resurfaced, causing controversy in the media. On August 11, 2021, it was announced that Richards will succeed Trebek as host of the daily show, with Jeopardy! guest host Mayim Bialik hosting future primetime specials and spinoffs.
