In November of 2020, beloved "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek tragically passed away. While the nation mourned, many wondered who could fill the shoes of the only man to host the iconic American game show since 1984. But what happened next was not a peaceful transition of power. Instead, "Jeopardy!" began a long-winded search to find a new host, in which several candidates "auditioned" for the role on national TV. Unfortunately for them, the whole thing was rigged by Mike Richards, the executive producer of the show with dreams of becoming the next Trebek himself. But can he defeat the presumptive heir Ken Jennings, the fan favorite LeVar Burton, and the surprise hire Mayim Bialik? I'll tell you the answer as long as I can phrase it in the form of a question.
