Bialik — and co-host Ken Jennings — were both nominated for Daytime Emmys for their roles alternating at the lectern left vacant by the passing of the beloved Alex Trebek. Sony tapped Bialik and Jennings to split hosting duties of the long-running syndicated game show last year, capping a months-long period in which the series underwent a messy transition that saw now-former showrunner Mike Richards tap himself for the host role after a series of guest judges. He was let go a week later after many outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, reported on the previous discrimination lawsuits he was involved in during his time as executive producer on The Price Is Right. Other reports included the crude and offensive jokes he made during a short-lived podcast he hosted from 2013-14. Richards filmed one day — a week’s worth of Jeopardy! episodes — before stepping down as host. Sony fired him as showrunner not long afterward.

Michael Davies took over as showrunner last year when Sony announced Jennings and Bialik would share the hosting duties.

A Sony spokesperson shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter, “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.”

Bialik previously hosted primetime specials, Celebrity Jeopardy and the college championships.
