Mayim Bialik is "still losing my mind" over guest-hosting Jeopardy!
-
"Oh, I lost my mind, and really am still losing my mind," Bialik said of her two-week stint, which began Memorial Day. "This is one of the most iconic things that I can be part of in my life. Of all the things I've done, of all the acting I've done, of all the advocacy I've done, and all my academic things, this is the most globally understood, absolutely incredible thing to be part of. It's unbelievable." Bialik added: "I was so grateful. There were a few snafus in terms of scheduling and COVID. Part of our industry was shut down after Thanksgiving, and I was so nervous that I would lose my slotted dates. To do this also knowing the importance and significance after Alex (Trebek) passed away (and) really honoring this brand and this show was so important to me. That was before I even got there, and then my experience of actually filming was so incredibly gratifying, and I don't really know how to explain it other than to say it really felt like being home. It felt like these are my people, the way that the show is run, the way that that we understand the material and how to move through this show it just felt really, really natural, and it was terrific. I cried. I cried after my two days there. I didn’t want to leave."
