‘That’s my favorite show,’ she quickly interjected. ‘That’s my dream, I apply every June.’

‘I would like to go on real Jeopardy! but you have to take the test and you can only take it once a year with your email address.
‘So every June, I take the quiz and they don’t tell you how you did. They just say, “We’ll let you know in the next nine-12 months if you got on the show.” Guess what, I haven’t got on the show.

It was all change on the series at the end of last year when Mayim Bialik announced that she would be back from hosting duties, after appearing on our screens for more than two years.

‘As the holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news,’ she said in a statement at the time. ‘Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!
‘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.’
Program bosses subsequently posted a statement on the official Jeopardy! account, adding: ‘Mayim Bialik has announced she will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!
‘We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!
‘We are truly grateful for all of Mayim’s contributions to Jeopardy!, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials.’
