‘Jeopardy!’ EP On Why Mayim Bialik Was Fired & How They “Hope To Continue Working With Her”
Michael Davies, Jeopardy! EP, is opening up about Mayim Bialik's departure from the game show after she announced it in December.
Speaking to reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Saturday, Davies said that when he “took over the show, we were forced into that situation from everything that had happened before, the guest hosting period.” In December, Bialik shared a statement announcing her exit from the show after Sony had informed her “that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy! The production company would follow with a statement confirming Bialik’s departure citing they had “made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host.” In the same statement, they left the door open “to continue to work” with Bialik on primetime specials.
