After months of fans begging for it, Mayim Bialik is finally hosting Jeopardy!. Last week, the sitcom legend took to the podium to host everyone's favorite trivia show and luckily for fans, she's doing a two-week run!
After her first week hosting, it was clear fans wanted to keep Mayim around for the long haul which is fantastic, except there's still one more person we need to see host — LeVar Burton!
Since Alex's death, various celebrities have been brought in to try and fill the void while the show searches for a full-time replacement.
It's easy to see why Alex Trebek was the only host of the trivia show for so long — it's not an easy gig.
After her first week of hosting, Mayim Bialik quickly became the fan-favorite host.
At the beginning of Monday’s episode, the actress made sure to give a shoutout to her eldest son for pushing her to do the show!
"He was the one who first suggested I give this a try and I hope I am making him and his little brother, Frederick, proud."
"My older son is the one who originally said ‘Did you know they’re looking for Jeopardy! hosts? I saw on the internet that maybe you should find out," she explained.
And her son has every right to be proud.
He really isn't the only one, either! Social media has been blowing up in support of Mayim.
"Loving Mayim Bialik as the Jeopardy host!" tweeted one user.
"Of course she'd be great. She's sweet, personable & very smart," someone else added.
Another shared that they "didn't expect this" but that she's their favorite guest host so far.
As you may recall, fans petitioned for the Reading Rainbow star to get a crack at hosting and he finally will be at the end of July!
Whether it's alternating days or weeks, I'm sure people would be thrilled to see these two iconic faces on the Jeopardy! stage.
I'm really looking forward to seeing LeVar's Jeopardy! hosting skills — I'm sure he will be fantastic!
