I know I'm not alone when I say it feels like 2021 was defined only by Jeopardy! updates. It was a time of many different guest hosts and many different controversies. After months of speculation, debate, and intrigue, it was announced that Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik would be hosting the show in tandem.
Since taking on the gig, Mayim has left a lot of fans up in arms after changing terminology and trying to make the phrase "single Jeopardy!" happen.
To be fair, when you've been watching a show since 1964, you're allowed to have an opinion or two about it. Lord knows I have lots of opinions on things I shouldn't have any opinions on.
It truly enraged people that she did this and if you don't believe me, here is an article I wrote about said rage.
“We go back, I flub things. You’re seeing an edited version. So, it’s funny."
However, she has heard the backlash and will be refusing to refer to it as "Single Jeopardy" from now on.
Honestly, it's kind of sad to me that people got so angry that she had to change it but hey — at least she's okay with it!
