You have to remember, sag has rules about supporting strikes and she is involved with a sitcom at present. Whereas Ken isn’t a sag member so can do as he pleases.

Jennings isn’t a writer or member of the unions. People should focus on the objects in their own eyes.

Any reason to get Ken back on, I'll take it😊.

Her short pauses before she tells a contestant they're correct or not are very annoying. Then she does cutoff contestants before their time ends. Maybe the writers don't because she never seems to have ad libs that work. I much prefer Jennings..

Oh big deal. Ken Jennings should be the host. Period.

That’s fine…she was not my choice to listen to! Happy Ken will be the HOST!

In the beginning I was rooting for Lavar Burton to get the job. I was unsure how Ken would do...and knew that Mayim was smart and talented enough. I still wish Lavar had the job but Ken has really shown he should be the full time host. Mayim not so much.

I really like Ken Jennings. Wish he did it all the time.

She’s only missing the last week of tapings. Not a huge chunk of the season. Plus Ken is a producer of the show, a lot of studios are making producers work during the strike anyway or be suspended (aka, not paid).

Ridiculous !!! Proves that Ken Jennings is the real pro.

Good for Jennings. The union helps pay striking workers. If Jennings went on strike, those non union workers would not have any income. I have had friends threatened by unions to not cross the line. I have been violently threatened because I was a political candidate twice in the last couple of months and FascistBook did nothing.

Good for both of them.

Glad to see her go...she was arrogant to the contestants...Not Jeopardy class.

she makes awkward look awkward.. Her delays in addressing the response of a contestant shows she is ill prepared..

Actually, She invoked the Jeopardy! name multiple times while getting political, which is a no-no at Sony. She has even done Jeopardy style Q&A when discussing the Isreal-Palestine conflict on various platforms. So her "option" to continue to host was _not picked up_.

Good news i can start watching jeopardy again

A scab is a replacement worker who does the work of someone who belongs to a union and is on strike. Jennings is clearly neither a union member nor a replacement worker, so he isn't actually a scab. Good on Mayim for being supportive of the writers, however, if she had chosen to continue her hosting duties, she wouldn't be a scab either. At the same time, there shouldn't be ill will to Jennings for continuing to do his job. After all the WGA isn't on strike because of Jeopardy.

The BTS staff are most probably all union members themselves, if they haven't joined the pickets then I'd say Jennings is doing the right thing by continuing and allowing them to continue to earn their living

It’s because SAG is about to go on strike soon as well. They want to support each other.

Personally, I think Ken Jennings should be the only one to host Jeopardy, who has a deeper appreciation and respect for the game than Mayim Bialik, who doesn't show interaction with the players as does Ken.

Too bad she isn't stepping away permanently.

Nothing says outrage like an anonymous Twitter user. Real deep work there Looper.

Good! Get someone people want to watch!

I applaud Mayim's decision, but will be overjoyed to have Ken take over full-time!

Even if the writer strike is over don't tell her! I never want her to come back🙏 Ken Jennings is a way better host.

Considering what we watch , they have their nerve going on strike !

I am happy!!! I don't watch Jeopardy! when she hosts. I love watching every day!!

Could not stand watching Jeopardy when she was on, she did not have a presence noteworthy of the show.

I feel bad for any writers that are left. They've already begun to be replaced, and no one can even tell due to AI tech. I always presumed drivers would be the first large scale jobs eliminated.

She makes a lot of errors. I really liked her on The BBT as Amy, but Amy Farrah Fowler and Jeopardy! don't mix. Mayim is too slow in deciding wether the question is right or wrong. It hurts! So I stopped watching when she hosts.

Personally this is the first good news I have heard about the show in a long time. M.B. has a way of breaking the pace of the show that is disturbing. Fire her and make K.J. the one and omly permanent host.

Jennings is good. He should be the permanent host.

In the Land of Opportunity, Bialik is free to choose to support WGA in any way that she chooses. But: she is not risking anything, is she? She is still getting paid, her contract is still in effect, and she knows that her job will be there whenever she decides to return. That is not the case for everyday non-union people who walk out to support union strikes. So: meh. Limousine solidarity gets very little respect from me.

Nuh-uh. The fans walked her off.

Jennings isn't part of Hollywood so F everyone hating on him

"the Jeopardy writers are jeopardy" calm down guys, you guys write trivia clues. There are literally a million nerds who can do the same. not so many can host as well as KenJen.

Good grief. Ken is a free agent. That's what I love about him. He's himself, not "Hollywood."

People got bills to pay and mouths to feeds. Bread and milk are at all time high.

Bialik is out of her depth hosting Jeopardy and I watch only when Jennings is hosting. Alex Trebek was the master, but Ken Jennings brings his own presence to the show and is a natural in the hosting role. Jennings full time: Yeah!

I'm glad she's gone. I hope that she stays away. I don't watch Jeopardy when she's on.

Let’s all hope she stays away for good

Ken Jennings is not a writer or an actor. He doesn't have any obligation to strike. He is not a scab.

Ken’s the most natural host. He sounds like he knows the answers. Her hosting style of looking to the judges after each response halted the flow or momentum of the game.

I don't enjoy the show with Mayim as host. Why couldn't they show re-runs during the strike? Wheel of Fortune is more fun than Jeopardy with Bialik hosting.

If in the event Mayim never returns, I think she should do another show on on ABC primetime. Maybe she could do a revival of "Monopoly" or a revival of "Headline Chasers". It go good running back to back with Jeopardy.

Good for you Mayim, and good for you Ken. Both sides take courage. None of this will change the outcome. The strike is bigger than Jeopardy.

I agree with Mayim's decision and I agree with Ken's decision.

I can't stand when she's hosting. The game goes slower, and she doesn't know most of questions gerself, so there's always a wait while she checks the answer or is told "yes" or "no" through her earpiece. And that GD pause she does (for effect I guess?) before she says l, "That's correct," on Double Jeopardy questiond is so f*ing annoying!!! Ken Jennings ALL THE TIME!

She just proved that 2 hosts weren't needed. And Ken was the better choice between them.

If we go strictly on merit, Ken is about a ten times better host than Bialik. I wish he were the ONLY host, just we had with Alex. I am a writer myself, and I'm sympathetic, but we also have to think of the fans who need their daily fix.

Good! Unions are important today more than ever.

All this hog hoo hee,I've been watching jeopardy for close to 25 years,I like ken .

It’s a sad state when viewers find fault.I’m sure it isn’t an easy feat to be hosting knowing you are going to be faulted for any small or different gesture 3:27 3:27

The world most famous neuroscientist can finally go back to work.

Jennings is the right choice. No regrets there.

it's a game show ... read a book ... (that's what the contestants do)

Nothing wrong with working and making an honest living

Years ago when Alex was healthy, a news feature was done on how early he came in daily to prep for all the day’s taping. You paying attention Mayim?

Ken should be the permanent host - he's a natural handling both the competition & interview parts of the show. Mayim's awkwardness is distracting.

You can't fault the host that stayed tho, Mayim has a lengthy career of royalties she can still live off of, the other guy still needs to eat!!

A lot of people I know can't stand her, we wont watch it if she is hosting.

Matpat should be the host

I hope she doesn’t come back, her giggling and laughing was getting annoying.

I really like the show, always have. But wont watch when she is hosting...

Blaming the WGA strike as the reason behind her stepping away is the perfect out she needed. Ppl are turning off Jeopardy when she’s on. She’s just not up to the high standard set by Jennings. Now she can save face. I hope she’s done for good.

Ken Jennings should be the only game show host ! You have to earn that position, no disrespect but Mayim couldn’t shine Jennings shoes !

Just because Ken is still hosting does NOT mean that he doesn't support the strike. (for the comments who are talking bad about Ken)

Unions destroy so much

Oh no. You mean we’ll never again get to hear her forced, fake laughter. Never again get to wait an eternity for her to declare an answer right, or wrong, or get to watch her inability to interact with contestants during the interview portion of the show. Whatever shall we do?

I respect both post for what they are doing and what they represent, unions are good and bad, but they both serve their purpose. We want to cancel a watch Jeopardy, so can it’s not a scab in my book. Good luck to both of them.

So you make it sound like she walked off the set during live taping🙄 everyone's aware of what she's doing. It's not like she just walked off without notice!! 🙄

None of them will ever be as good as Alex was, sad he is gone though

And she has since been let go...with the producers realizing they only needed 1 host.

Good for her. She takes to long to say if a question is correct or not.

No one cares for all the unemployed not effected by the strike if no host shows up.

I never cared for her as the host(ess) of Jeopardy. She seems to take an inordinate amount of time to tell people they're right or wrong.

The important thing is that she walked off.

Jeopardy is about the contestant, not the host.

Jennings is the much better host. He is a natural.

I couldn't stand her on Jeopardy. I thought she was obnoxious. Jennings is light years better.

Thank God she's gone, and hope she stays away!

For the good of Jeopardy, and all the viewers, please bring back KJ as permanent host. He is the only one who slid effortlessly into the host role. Alex Trebek did kind of mentor him as well. Mayim, while I applaud her principles in light of the strike, was a mistake as host. She usually seemed nervous, and like she was trying too hard. The world needs lovable geeks like MB, for sure. Just not at the Jeopardy lecturn. Good luck to everyone involved here.

Bialik isn't much of a game show host. The show just doesn't flow when she is at the podium. Unlike Jennings who obviously has looked at the correct answer on his card beforehand, when Bialik is doing it, there is a pause between the answer given and her saying Yes or No. She also seems quite surprised when someone finds a Daily Double. She just doesn't seem very well prepared in that role. Then she does that wiggle thing as if her panties have shrunk five sizes while she was standing there. I like Jennings in the hosting role, but I think there are others who might do a great job. Sam Buttery, James Holzhauer, Matt Amodio, and Buzzy Cohen are names that come to mind. Mattea Roach might be a good host. Austin Rogers and Julia Collins might also be great hosts. But in the meanwhile, and in this viewers opinion, I'm glad Bialik is gone for now, and also think the show is better because of it.

Ken went from contestant to host. He wasn't in entertainment before Jeopardy. And if questions have already been written, why stop the show? Also, pay the writers more. Or make LA less expensive.

I love em both. Ken only stayed because because the remaining episodes were already written.

Thank you!

F Mayim, never really liked her to begin with.

Mike Richards officially walked off the Jeopardy! set.

Both are great hosts. Thank you to both.

I don't care why she is gone, just glad she is.

I bet pay those writers more.

Everyone hates Mayim as a host. Her long pauses in delivering the verdict are annoying, and her necessity to elaborate on answers are painful to say the least. She ruins the show. Thankfully she stopped saying ‘single jeopardy’ as no such thing exists. Just let a professional like Ken, who actually has a personality and knowledge run the show. I could write clues for questions, SAG guild members aren’t needed.

She can just stay gone as far as I'm concerned, because, IMHO, she's a lousy host and should never have been given the job in the first place. Now all your Mayim lovers can hate on me - I don't care. It's my OPINION, like it or not.

That’s ok. She is a great person and very smart, but as a host, she’s like a robot that ate a bunch of ice.

Watch Jennings be the permanent host.

Great! Politics usually produces division, and detracts from the FUN!

Already knew that.

It is what it is. All sides being heard and things maybe being worked out democratically. The way it should be. We are not China and forced to comply.

No biggie here, jeopardy will go on.

Good..hope she doesn't come back.
