Actress Mayim Bialik announced that Sony notified her she will not continue hosting the syndicated version of the gameshow "Jeopardy!"

"Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!" Bialik said in a statement. "I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family. For all of you who have supported me through this incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of America's Favorite Quiz Show, thank you."

"Jeopardy!" legend Ken Jennings, who has been sharing hosting duties with Bialik, will serve as the only host of the program going forward, according to a statement posted by the show on social media.

"Mayim Bialik has announced she will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!. We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!. We are truly grateful for all of Mayim's contributions to Jeopardy!, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials," the show's statement noted.

Jennings, who rose to fame when he won a whopping 74 games, amassing more than $2.5 million in winnings as a contestant on the show, still holds the record for the most consecutive games won and for highest winnings during regular-season play.

"Jennings and Mayim Bialik officially became the hosts of the show ahead of Season 39 in July 2022, after guest hosting the show in Season 37 and sharing hosting duties for Season 38," the "Jeopardy!" website states. "In May 2023, he [Jennings] hosted the first-ever 'Jeopardy! Masters' tournament in primetime on ABC."
