'Jeopardy!' Contestant Shoots His Shot With 'Celebrity Crush' Mayim Bialik

The contestant has heart eyes for the 'Jeopardy!' host.

Mayim Bialik has a new crush in town!

A Jeopardy! contestant who appeared on the High School Reunion Tournament episode on Wed. March, 1 is completely gushing over the 47-year-old host.

While introducing the players in the first round, Dan Oxman divulged to Bialik that she was his childhood celebrity crush. 

“I don’t really want to talk about what we’re going to talk about, but apparently I was your celebrity crush growing up?” Bialik asked.

“This was a long time ago, Mayim,” Oxman replied, “but when I was a little kid I saw you on TV and I really admired how you played a super awesome scientist [on The Big Bang Theory]. And then I found out you were a scientist with a doctorate in real life," acting out that the information blew his mind before kindly adding, “and you haven’t aged a day.”

“Thank you!” Bialik replied with a laugh. “I will take that and move on.”

According to TV Insider, Oxman is a senior at the University of Maryland. He first appeared on Jeopardy! when he competed in the 2018 Teen Tournament, where he finished as a quarterfinalist. Yesterday's game marked his first game in the High School Reunion tournament, where he competed against Eesha Sohail and Tim Cho.

Sohail was a 2019 Teen Tournament wildcard semifinalist and Cho was a 2018 Teen Tournament semifinalist. Last evening, Cho walked away with the victory with $20,000. 

Both Sohail and Cho answered the final Jeopardy prompt correctly, but Sohail's final winning of $10,517 was not enough to beat out Cho. Meanwhile, Oxman walked away with $1,662. 

The final jeopardy category was Laws in U.S. History, with the final clue being, “A radical Republican championed this 1875 act but the Supreme Court struck it down in 1883; a new version was passed 81 years later," with the answer being, "What is the Civil Rights Act?" 

Tonight's players are Hannah Nekritz, Caleb Richmond, and Maggie Brown.
