JEOPARDY! fans are calling for Mayim Bialik to be “fired” as they believe she is a “terrible” host.

One outraged fan wrote: “Why is Mayim Bialik hosting Jeopardy again? 

“She is not funny, she has more money than most TV personalities, she endorses a terrible product and should concentrate on other things rather than hosting Jeopardy which she is terrible at. Please bring back Ken Jennings!”

A second agreed: “Please, Jeopardy, I beg of you: name Ken Jennings as host immediately and stop this Mayim Bialik farce.

A third shared: “Mayim Bialik has been hosting Jeopardy on and off for about a year at this point and still sucks at hosting. Remarkable stuff.”

BIG BOOTS 

After the tragic death of longtime host Alex Trebek, who passed away from stage four pancreatic cancer on November 8, 2020, Ken and Mayim took over as presenters of the popular game show.

They stepped up to the joint role following a brief stint from Mike Richards.

Mike resigned after fans slammed him for his past "misogynistic" comments.

Jeopardy! icon Alex had been behind the game show's podium since 1984.

KEN CAN

Viewers have had mixed feelings after Mayim took over hosting the beloved game show along with Ken.

Many would instead prefer that the former winner be named as the permanent host.

One fan wrote on Twitter today: “Ken Jennings is by far the best host! Please keep him and leave Mayim Bialik for some other show.”

Another agreed: “Don't you think it's time to name Ken Jennings as the permanent host? Bialik has overstayed her welcome.”

WHERE TO WATCH

New episodes of the classic game show air weekdays at 7pm on ABC.

Previous seasons are available to stream on Netflix with a subscription.

Jeopardy's 38th season will end on July 29, 2022.
