after stepping down as host, Suzanne Prete, the executive vice president of business and strategy for Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune released a statement on August 31.
"I'm writing to let you know that Mike will no longer be serving as EP (executive producer) of Wheel (of Fortune) and Jeopardy! effective immediately," she wrote.
"We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks.
"That clearly has not happened," she continued.
She announced Michael Davies from Embassy Row will step in until further notice.
