In sharing his concern, the ‘A Place in the Sun’ presenter disclosed he’s been the target of vile online abuse. He confided that racism is an ongoing struggle he and others face regularly.

The 36-year-old telly host shared: “After receiving several comments and messages telling me to ‘Pipe Down’ and ‘Go back to where I came from’, I feel I have a responsibility to speak up. If it means using the small platform that I have to raise awareness, then that’s what I’m going to do. Believe it or not, racism isn’t a new construct for people of colour in the UK.”

He continued: “It is…

Ken Jennings addressed former fellow ‘Jeopardy!’ host Mayim Bialik‘s firing publicly for the first time in a story published by the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday (December 26).

“It took me off guard, because I loved working with my Mayim and I’m gonna miss her,” Jennings said.

Jennings, the longest-reigning ‘Jeopardy’ champion and highest-earning American game show contestant of all-time, added that he “can’t speak to her decision-making process” or any “opinions” on the firing when asked about Bialik, who he shared hosting duties with since 2022, following the death of longtime ‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek in 2020.

Ken Jennings Breaks Silence on Mayim Bialik’s “Jeopardy!” Exit — Best Life

After two years of sharing hosting duties with Ken Jennings, Mayim Bialik announced on Dec. 15 that she would no longer be hosting syndicated Jeopardy!

In May, the actor stepped down from her hosting duties in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, and she didn’t return after the series’ summer hiatus when filming resumed in August, or when the WGA strike ended on Sept. 27. Bialik and Jeopardy! both gave statements about the 48-year-old’s exit from the show, and now, Jennings has shared his thoughts on the matter, too.
