Mike Richards Career

Mike Richards’ professional career began shortly after he became the second host of Beauty and the Geek and went on to produce a number of game programs, including Weakest Link. Richards was the executive producer of The Price Is Right and Let’s Make a Deal until the end of the 2018–19 season, and he was a candidate to host. Before Drew Carey was cast in The Price Is Right, the show was called The Price Is Right. Richards presented the GSN and Network’s Dividend. Richards departed both shows in 2019 to join Sony Pictures Television, where he was assigned to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? as a co-executive producer along with Jimmy Kimmel, the show’s presenter, and Michael Davies for the eight-episode season in 2019–20.

Richards took over as executive producer of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! for the 2020–21 season after Harry Friedman retired.
