What career did it cost him? Jennings is a successful podcaster and a regular on Masterminds, which I believe follows up his regular appearances on The Chase. He does guest appearances on other shows, too. Which I only know because my parents are game show addicts.

Arguably, he doesn’t if he thinks it is a shame when “hot” people are in wheelchairs. 

Twitter’s sole purpose is in getting customer service from companies to actually listen to you. I don’t use it for anything else but it has worked wonders in that one area. 

I feel like they missed the opportunity for him to be into something organic.

Was the wheelchair joke the only bad tweet? Surely that couldn’t have been the worst one. I mean, it’s a shitty joke, and clearly hurtful to the disabled, but it doesn’t seem like something that’s actively offensive to me. I think there’s a difference between hurtful internet snark and actively promoting a bigoted…

I don’t understand why famous people - when they first attain a certain level of success - don’t hire an intern to scour through their social feeds to delete any posts that cast them in a negative light.

Isn’t the lesson “If you wouldn’t say it out loud in public, don’t post it to social media”?

Its the squeaky clean ones the get nailed worst. People think you are hiding your true personality. If you are a flaming asshole you can get away with murder because people expect you say outrageous shit.  Just look at the former president.

Just. Don’t. Tweet. That’s the main lesson here. There is literally no upside to using Twitter in 2021.

And, here’s the thing. He did, long before he started guest-hosting.

Here’s the other thing.
We’ve heard now that Richards was involved in selecting which clips got shown to the decision-makers... How involved was he in the focus group process, where “the succession plan started unraveling”? I mean, it sounds like…

Yeah, the one guy passed away unfortunately. 

Naturally we must keep watching rehashes of “Pygmalion” until we get one starring actual pigs.

It’s such an absurd assemblage of interests that it sounds like they were trying to create the most insufferable uber-hipster possible without understanding what any of these things even are.

Well who do you think wrote his character?

Ooh, They’re All That. Theydies and gentlethem, start your engines.

I mean, I think it’s more shameless executive cronyism which is white privilege adjacent as well as inherently sexist. It’s what’s fucked up about corporate America more than anything.

Dick Cheney doesn't see the problem

I’m not sure why the pseudo-contest aspect was even promoted.

Ken Jennings.  All they had to do was hire Ken Jennings.
