Mayim Bialik got a mention during a recent episode of Jeopardy!, specifically during the “TV Coupling” category. Contestant Colleen Kelly requested a clue with the prompt “Sheldon & Amy, pure genius,” referring to The Big Bang Theory where Mayim played Amy.
This comes a year after Mayim announced she would no longer host Jeopardy! after getting laid off by Sony, Ken Jennings was left to take over as sole host. Fans reacted to the mention on social media, with someone calling for a Jeopardy! host category for the subsequent games.
Her big bang exit from ‘Jeopardy!’
Mayim was laid off from Jeopardy! last year to achieve consistency with Jennings as host. She also disrupted the show schedule by partaking in the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, thereby missing work. She also had her Fox Network sitcom Call Me Kat affecting her availability.
Regardless of the layoff, Mayim earned a prime-time Emmy nomination for her hosting work, and Jennings praised her work ethic, adding that he misses working with her. A fan commented on the recent episode, saying Big Bang Theory clues coming up after Mayim’s hosting era get them emotional.
What is Mayim Bialik up to since leaving ‘Jeopardy’?
Mayim is currently focused on her comedy show Call Me Kat and is working on her media company for those struggling with mental health challenges. She still runs her podcast and YouTube channel, where she holds vulnerable interviews with guests from all walks of life.
