Michael Davies, the Who Wants to be a Millionaire producer brought in to temporarily succeed Mike Richards, wrote a note to Jeopardy! fans on Thursday, saying he hopes to put the show back on track. “I have been so fortunate to have developed and produced several long-running and successful shows during my 30-plus-year career," Davies wrote. "But I have experienced nothing like Jeopardy!. It is built on the shoulders of giants like Merv and Julann Griffin, Alex Trebek, Harry Friedman, and Johnny Gilbert. They are our Time Lords. And what they created and built will outlast all of us." He added: "Finally, I never forget that, at root, we wouldn’t be here without the loyalty and passion of our fans and viewers. This note is for you, and I really hope you enjoy it. Please send your feedback to me and the team here. This is the first of many initiatives to bring you more access to the show we all love. And as with everything else on Jeopardy!, we want to get it right. And in time, with your help, I know we will."
