Sitcom star and Jeopardy cohost, Mayim Bialik, had a pretty special moment with a contestant during a recent episode of the show.
On an episode of the High School Reunion Tournament which aired last Wednesday, one contestant admitted that Bialik was his crush growing up.
Now a college senior, Oxman had returned for another chance to become a Jeopardy champion.
"I don’t really want to talk about what we’re going to talk about," Bialik began. "But apparently I was your celebrity crush growing up?"
Oxman agreed, and referenced her appearance as a series regular on The Big Bang Theory, playing the scientist Amy Farrah Fowler.
"This is a long time ago, Mayim, but you know, when I was a little kid, I saw you on TV and I really admired how you played, like, a super awesome scientist," he said.
"Then I found out that you were a scientist and a doctor in real life," he continued, pantomiming his mind exploding.
In addition to being an actress in shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Blossom, as well as her latest sitcom Call Me Kat, Bialik has a Ph.D. in neuroscience.
"And you haven't aged a day," Oxman added at the end of the conversation. Bialik, 47, couldn't help but laugh.
The wholesome moment ended with an equally wholesome photo op.
The clip ended up on the show's official Twitter and Instagram pages, where fans weighed in on the adorable moment.
Fans and celebs alike, including Sharon Stone, expressed how relatable the fanboy moment really was.
Before The Big Bang Theory, Bialik rose to fame as the titular character in Blossom. Many users were quick to point out that they were fans of her during her Blossom era. Oxman remembering her from a more recent show made some fans feel old.
While plenty of fans love seeing Bialik host the show, alongside cohost and Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings, not everyone is on the same page.
With last week's Inside Jeopardy podcast came the news that, following the conclusion of the High School Reunion Tournament, Jennings would be back as host from March 10th to April 28th.
Bialik will return as Jeopardy's host from May into the summer.
Last year, it was announced that Jennings and Bialik would split host duties, rather than have a single host for all Jeopardy episodes.
Certain fans online were very vocal about their desire to not watch the show so long as Bialik is hosting.
Both hosts have had their fair share of criticism, with some thinking neither of them is suited for hosting the show.
More often than not, lifelong fans of the show are happy with both hosts splitting duties.
While a vocal minority may not love it, both hosts are set to stay on Jeopardy for the foreseeable future.
