Mayim Bialik AND Mike Richards to host Jeopardy

This is not going over well in my house.  This shifting of hosts …

Jeopardy is apparently ready to announce that not only is show executive producer Michael Richards set host the iconic game show, but so is Mayim Bialik.

Mayim is certainly worthy of the roll.  As you may know, she went to school for neuroscience.

Richards, who had been the frontrunner for a hosting gig, will start Season 38 as host of the daily syndication while Bialik, best known for her starring role in CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, will host new spin-off series—the first of which will be the Jeopardy! National College Championship on ABC.

So it’s not so much they’ll split duties as she’s joining the Jeopardy family and hosting separate gigs.
