'Awful in every way': 'Jeopardy!' fans want host Mayim Bialik FIRED

'Mayim Bialik is not a good host of #Jeopardy. She's slow and consistently leaves clues on the board and she has no charisma!' one user wrote

Fans of American television game show 'Jeopardy!' are not happy with host Mayim Bialik  and want her fired. Fans have a variety of complaints with Bialik, with some finding her 'unwatchable'. The 46-year-old actress took over as host of the long-running show after executive producer Mike Richards resigned as the host.

Though it was initially announced that Bialik would be a three-week guest, her contract was extended to seven weeks; later it was revealed that she would alternate with Ken Jennings for the rest of the calendar year. In December 2021, it was announced that Bialik and Jennings would continue to host Jeopardy! for the rest of the 2021–22 season.

Prior to Richards, Alex Trebek served as host of the game show's daily syndicated version from its premiere in 1984 until his death in 2020. Longtime fans of the popular game show are not happy with Bialik's hosting and have made it very clear. While some users pointed out Bialik's pausing, lack of charisma, and slow pace, others are hoping to see Jennings as the permanent host instead of alternating with the 'Big Bang Theory' star.

One user tweeted, "I know I keep saying it but Mayim Bialik is not a good host of #Jeopardy She's slow and consistently leaves clues on the board and she has no charisma!" Another said, "I have watched @Jeopardy my entire life. I simply cannot stand watching another episode with Mayim Bialik as host. Sadly, signing off." A third felt, "Mayim Bialik might host another season of Jeopardy... God is not with us [crying face emoji]."

A fourth wrote, "Watching @Jeopardy when Mayim Bialik is the host is just BRUTAL. Sure hope somebody comes to their senses and finds a decent host. [sad face emoji]." A fifth added, "Mayim Bialik is so bad on Jeopardy. Once in a while, I see an episode and it just reminds what a terrible host she is." A sixth commented, "I am here once again to complain about how much Mayim Bialik sucks on Jeopardy."

While one user joked, "If #Jeopardy was a restaurant... Customer: I'll have Ken Jennings. Waiter: Would Mayim Bialik be okay? Customer: Uhh, would Monopoly money be okay?" Another fumed, "OK there's a lot of dangerous awful shit going on, but meanwhile Mayim Bialik is absolutely ruining Jeopardy. Calling time before it's time, saying correct answers are wrong, and generally just being an absolute BOIL on the public ass."

One user wrote, "@Jeopardy Mayim Bialik's 'pausing' when she validates an answer is SOOOOOOO annoying. Bring back Ken Jennings full-time. Please! #Jeopardy." Another felt, "Mayim Bialik makes Jeopardy almost unwatchable." A third added, "Incredibly, for the second day running, only one contestant gets a Final #Jeopardy that I get immediately. Category is Brands. Please remember that Mayim Bialik is awful in every way and should not be hosting @Jeopardy."

One user noted, "I can't stand Mayim Bialik as jeopardy host. When the contestant answers, there's a long pause while she waits for someone in her ear to tell her if it's right or not. It's maddening." Another commented, "Wanting to watch Jeopardy but it's going to be loud and cheesy Mayim Bialik again #Jeopardy." One more fan said, "I've tried to reel it in but how is mayim bialik the most insufferable and self-absorbed tv host with the worst timing ever @missmayim please quit your day job @Jeopardy."
