However, many Jeopardy! viewers who tuned in this week were not overly impressed with Mayim and her hosting style.

In particular, they noticed that the mother of two takes too long to respond to contestants when they give their answers.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer fumed: “As hard as I have tried I do not care for Mayim Bialik hosting #Jeopardy She pauses before she answers and…

What are angry viewers?

“Jeopardy!” host Mayim Bialik once again came under scrutiny after several fans of the famous quiz show claimed that “The Big Bang Theory” star had inconsistent rules during Wednesday’s game.

The incident occurred during the show’s Double “Jeopardy!” round when the contestants began selecting under the “Presidential Doin’s” category.

“Made Henry Clay Secretary of State; 2 years after the White House, settled into a new House (of Representatives),” read the clue.

Contestant Kyle Marshall rang in with the answer, “Who is Adams?”

“More specific,” inquired Bialik, 47.

Marshall then clarified “Who is John Adams” as Bialik declared the answer incorrect.

Mayim Bialik won’t be hosting the final week of this season’s “Jeopardy!” episodes in a show of solidarity with the Writers Guild of America strike.

Bialik was slated to host the final episodes of the show’s current season, which are expected to be filmed between May 16 and May 19. Her decision to abstain makes “Jeopardy!” one of the first game shows to be impacted by the ongoing writers strike. The show’s writers are some of thousands in Hollywood that have been striking since May 2 for a fair contract.

Michele Loud, one of the show’s writers, told Variety on May 6, “There is no ‘Jeopardy!’ without writers. Without us, it’s just an empty blue screen.”

However, production on “Jeopardy!” is expected to go on as scheduled with Ken Jennings taking over hosting duties…

While plenty of films and TV shows have been impacted by the writers strike, it looks as though ‘Jeopardy!’ may be the first game show to be affected.

This comes after host Mayim Bialik decided she won’t host the final week of filming for Season 39, showing solidarity with the Writers Guild of America as per Deadline.

However, production for the final few episodes of the season are moving forward as Ken Jennings will take over the remainder of Bialik’s filming.

The show is a WGA show and features contributions from WGA writers, though the questions for the season were written in advance.

The final episodes of the season will be filmed at the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City from Tuesday, May 16 to Friday, May 19.
