New “Jeopardy!” host Mike Richards<\/strong> is apologizing for some insensitive remarks he made about women on his old podcast … he says it’s “a terribly embarrassing moment of misjudgment.”<\/p>\n Here’s the deal … Mike used to host a podcast from 2013 to 2014 when he was the executive producer at “The Price Is Right” and he’s now under fire for referring to his female co-host as a “booth ho” and “booth slut,” among other degrading remarks aimed at women.<\/p>\n The podcast, called “The Randumb Show,” has already been scrubbed from the Internet after The Ringer reported on Mike’s derogatory comments, which also include him asking his female co-host and his assistant if they had ever taken “booby pictures,” during a segment about leaked celebrity nudes.<\/p>\n According to The Ringer, Mike also went on the podcast and said women “dress like a hooker” for Halloween, said a former employee who took up baking would get “giant” and said one-piece swimsuits make some women “look really frumpy and overweight.”<\/p>\n There’s a lot more comments of the same ilk, according to The Ringer, but these are the lowlights.<\/p>\n Mike’s apologizing in a statement, via Sony, telling us … “It is humbling to confront a terribly embarrassing moment of misjudgment, thoughtlessness, and insensitivity from nearly a decade ago. Looking back now, there is no excuse, of course, for the comments I made on this podcast and I am deeply sorry.”<\/p>\n He adds … “The podcast was intended to be a series of irreverent conversations between longtime friends who had a history of joking around. Even with the passage of time, it\u2019s more than clear that my attempts to be funny and provocative were not acceptable, and I have removed the episodes.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/a9\/16by9\/2021\/08\/19\/a95043c33aa24732a6b71e646539aabf_md.png\")
