‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Mayim Bialik Makes Contestant Uneasy?

Mayim Bialik made a contestant uneasy. This took place during the latest episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! She went through an awkward moment with one of the players. The Call Me Kat star is sharing the hosting position with champ Ken Jennings.

However, the celebrity player applauded Ken for his brains. On Sunday night (October 9), a new episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! aired on ABC. This week’s celebrity contestants were Constance Wu, Ike Barinholtz, and Jalen Rose. Things got awkward when Mayim asked one of the players a tough question.

Celebrity Jeopardy! contestant praises Ken Jennings

Mayim Bialik asked Ike if he was a huge fan of Ken Jennings. She also admitted that everyone else is as well. Ike tried to remain neutral in the debate between the two hosts. For the past year, fans couldn’t stop comparing the two.

“Let’s just be clear, I’m a huge fan of him as a player,” Ike told Mayim Bialik. “As a host, I’m totally agnostic. I love you and him equally.”

The studio audience awkwardly laughed at his response. Ike shrugged his hands as he looked visibly uncomfortable. The actor watched Jeopardy! ever since he was a child.

“I’ve seen Alex Trebek go through three different mustaches,” he joked.

Mayim Bialik seemed happy with his previous response. She’s been slammed for her hosting skills on the spinoff series. Celebrity Jeopardy! premiered on Sunday 25. The primetime special features three celebrity contestants who play for charity.

Ken Jennings is hosting the weekday version of Jeopardy! until January 2023. Mayim will return after she finishes production for Season 2 of her FOX sitcom Call Me Kat. In late July, the show announced its decision to keep both hosts. They’ve been splitting the position since January 2021.

Mayim Bialik shocks fans with a racy moment

During Sunday’s episode of Celebrity Jeopardy!, Mayim Bialik shocked fans with a racy moment. Constance Wu was censored for using inappropriate language. So was Mayim, who repeated her. The Final Jeopardy! clue read: “A New York Times headline about this disaster included ‘866 rescued,’ and ‘noted names missing.'”

Constance misspelled her response. She jokingly asked, “What is the t*t?” Mayim Bialik tried not to laugh as she said, “Oh! ‘What is the t*t’ is not correct.'” Both of the ladies were bleeped out for their NSFW banter.

The Fresh Off the Boat actress exclaimed, “I meant Titanic!” She wagered all her money on her wild guess. Most fans were in shock over the banter between Mayim and Constance. One fan took to Twitter to joke that they will call the Titanic the “t*t out of solidarity” from now on. Another shell-shocked fan added: “I weep for humanity.”

Oh good gracious, the episode is over! 😟 Thanks for watching #CelebrityJeopardy! @ConstanceWu pic.twitter.com/PunEZNpjJi
