Well, we came back from a hiatus after determining the Greatest Game Show of All Time (Check your archives for that series!), and we had a plan for how to get the series proper started.

Now for something COMPLETELY different! For those not in the know, Mike Richards went from Executive Producer of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune to also being the new permanent host of Jeopardy! to, well, nothing. Erik, Jon, and Bryan Espinoza (making his show debut) will explain why and how we got here.
