A spokesperson for the series at Sony released the following statement to Variety, “Mayim Bialik has announced she will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of ‘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!’. We are truly grateful for all of Mayim’s contributions to ‘Jeopardy!’, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials.”
After the show’s beloved host, Alex Trebek’s death in November 2020. Bialik and Ken Jennings shared hosting duties. They both have earned a Emmy nomination for Outstanding Host of a Game Show. Bialik also hosted the first season of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” which premiered last year.
