If you thought (like I did) that we were finished with Jeopardy host shenanigans, then you (and I) were mistaken. Mayim Bialik had one week left of filming Jeopardy’s 39th season when the writers strike began in May. Since Jeopardy had WGA members, Mayim decided to show solidarity and did not film that final week. Ken Jennings, her alternating co-host, stepped in to finish Season 39. Some argued that it was not a direct scab since the material had been written before the strike was called. Mayim hasn’t been back to host since. So this weekend’s official announcement feels like late confirmation of what’s already been in effect for half a year: Mayim Bialik will not be back, Ken Jennings will handle all hosting duties on his own.

Mayim Bialik’s run on…

The decision appears to have been made on a permanent replacement for the late Canadian host Alex Trebek on Jeopardy.

Mayim Bialik is out.

Bialik says Sony told her she will no longer host the syndicated version of “Jeopardy!”  Adding, she is honoured to have been nominated for an Emmy for her work on the show while she shared hosting duties with Ken Jennings.

Sony says former champ Jennings will be the sole host next season to maintain continuity for viewers.

Alex Trebek died in 2020 at the age of 80.
