Longtime fans of “Jeopardy!” are threatening to boycott the show since Mayim Bialik and Ken
Jennings are splitting hosting duties. On Wednesday, the beloved game show announced that the
two interim hosts would keep their jobs, with Jennings hosting from September to January and
Bialik taking over from January through the end of the season. The “Call Me Kat” actress will
also be the host of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” and special tournaments, while Jennings will host the
Second Chance Tournament and the Tournament of Champions. That was unwelcome news for
some viewers as both the history-making “Jeopardy!” champion and the “Big Bang Theory” alum
have faced their fair share of blunders — and, therefore, criticism. The Twitter announcement
received hundreds of responses, many expressing unhappiness at the news that Bialik
would be sticking around. “Will not be watching @Jeopardy until @KenJennings becomes
the primary and only host. This switching stuff sucks! #boycottjeopardy
because they have idiots running it. What a mess,” one commenter said.
