Mayim Bialik has been ousted as host of “Jeopardy!”
The former “Big Bang Theory” star has until recently shared hosting duties with Ken Jennings. She announced via Instagram post Friday that the decision came down from Sony ahead of the holiday break.
“Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of ‘Jeopardy!’” she wrote. “I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the ‘Jeopardy!’ family.
“For all of you who have supported me through this incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of America’s favorite quiz show, thank you,” she added in the social media statement.
