Last week, Ben Shapiro’s conservative media outfit, The Daily Wire, issued a surprise statement attributed to chief executive Caleb Robinson: “Stepping down as C.E.O. of Daily Wire,” it read. “Effective immediately, my new title is ‘guy on the board who still owns a lot of the company.’ Pay cut in stress. Raise in the important things.” Continuing in that irreverent staccato, the letter went on to announce that Caleb would be handing the reins to Mike Richards, a famed Hollywood game show producer—and, notably, the man who would have taken over Alex Trebek’s hosting duties on Jeopardy! had he not been canceled for derogatory remarks he’d made on a podcast. Beyond that, no explanation was given.
