A number of Jeopardy! fans have voiced their objection to Mayim Bialik resuming hosting duties, as Ken Jennings takes a break from the primetime show.

All-time Jeopardy! champ Jennings has hosted the syndicated quiz show since its 38th season, while Bialik has presented the tournaments. The pair have, on occasion, switched places on the main show and specials.

They were officially announced as the show’s permanent hosts before the start of the current season 39 last year, following the death of popular long-time presenter Alex Trebek in November 2020.

Jennings’ most recent block of pre-recorded shows came to an end in April, with Bialik stepping up to the lectern from this week onward. Jennings will be seen hosting the Jeopardy! Masters competition from May 8.

As today is “JeoparDAY,” the 59th anniversary of the day Jeopardy! first aired, many fans can’t help but remember Alex Trebek. Trebek hosted the popular quiz show from 1984 until his death in 2020. Because Trebek was the second-ever and longest-running host of Jeopardy!, he is often thought of as the face of the game show. But Trebek actually hosted over a dozen game shows before he even began filming “America’s favorite quiz show.” And while the Canadian-American seemed to enjoy his duties, there was one aspect of hosting game shows that he truly hated.

Ken Jennings cracked a joke about Mayim Bialik during a recent episode of Jeopardy! as he settled back into his hosting role on the show.

All-time Jeopardy! champ Jennings returned to long-running syndicated quiz show on Friday, following the conclusion of the franchise’s High School Reunion Tournament, which was hosted by The Big Bang Theory star Bialik.

During Jennings’ time away from screens, a faction of fans complained on social media about his absence, while others were thrilled to see the return of Bialik, who presents the Jeopardy! spinoffs and tournaments.

However, it appears that TV personality Bialik hasn’t been far from the minds of the Jeopardy! production team since stepping away from the lectern.

Jeopardy! co-host Ken Jennings had a hilarious response when asked what he gets up to when it’s not his turn to host the iconic quiz show.

For the past year, former champion Jennings and actress and actor Mayim Bialik have shared hosting duties on Jeopardy!. Veteran Jeopardy! frontman Alex Trebek died from pancreatic cancer in 2020.

It was recently revealed Jennings will be back hosting the syndicated episodes of the show from March 10 until April 28. Then Bialik will take over again on May 1 and host through to the summer.

JEOPARDY! has forgotten to update its website leaving fans cracking jokes across the board.

Ken Jennings is returning on Friday for regular episodes but the game show put a giant question mark where the reigning champion should be.

Ken, 48, has been off for the past three weeks while Mayim Bilaik, 47 has hosted the High School Reunion Tournament.

The special has been denounced by some Jeopardy! lovers as just plain “long”, while others are just not sold on Mayim’s hosting style – so plenty of people are relieved it’s concluding this Thursday.

Ken will be back on TV screens the following day; Friday, March 10,…
