�Jeopardy!� host Ken Jennings commented on his co-worker Mayim Bialik being
unexpectedly relieved of her hosting duties.

�It took me off guard, because I loved working with my Mayim and I�m going to
miss her,� Jennings said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. �I
can�t speak to her decision-making process or her opinions about it. But on
my end, I�m just a fan of �Jeopardy!� and I�m always delighted to host when
they call upon me. I just feel extremely lucky to have even been considered
for this job as a non-broadcaster.�

The passing of longtime host Alex Trebek in 2020 led to a frantic scramble to
replace the �Jeopardy!� mainstay, with numerous options being floated.
Finally, the game show�s execs settled on a combination of Bialik, an actress
best known for her roles in �Blossom� and �The Big Bang Theory,� and
Jennings, a former contestant who rose to fame after winning $4.5 million on
the show. He became a household name in 2004 after winning 74 times in a row.

Bialik and Jennings have been sharing hosting duties since 2021. But on
December 15, Sony announced their decision to go forward with just one host.

�Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version
of �Jeopardy!�� the 48-year-old actress wrote social media. �I am incredibly
honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the
�Jeopardy!� family.�

Bialik continued, �For all of you who have supported me through this
incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of
America�s favorite quiz show, thank you.�

A statement from Sony thanked Bialik for her contributions to �Jeopardy!�

�We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to
maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host
for syndicated �Jeopardy!�� the statement read. �We are truly grateful for
all of Mayim�s contributions to �Jeopardy!��

Bialik had previously stepped back from her hosting duties amid the recent
writer and actor�s strike. Jennings has been the sole host since the debut of
Season 40 in September, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

Nobody else will. Oh wait, he’s either being sarcastic or held at gunpoint
or both.

How about “she’s an idiot“?
