Mayim Bialik couldnтАЩt be happier to be the new тАЬJeopardy!тАЭ guest host.
The тАЬBig Bang TheoryтАЭ star will be doing the honours from May 31 through to June 11, with her speaking about the тАЬunbelievableтАЭ opportunity in a newly-released clip.
The actress gushed, тАЬThis is such an iconic and unbelievable piece of our collective culture, to be considered to be part of it really in any way, itтАЩs an immense honour.
тАЬEspecially for someone whoтАЩs dedicated so much of my life to academia to knowing things and to being able to communicate things.тАЭ
Bialik added of what she hopes to bring to the show, which was hosted by the late Alex Trebek from its revival in 1984 until his tragic death in 2020, тАЬBeing a woman of science, as I am, is something that IтАЩm obviously very passionate about presenting myself as.
тАЬI really didnтАЩt grow up with a lot of female role models and I think especially for young people тАФ not just young girls, but for young girls and boys тАФ to see that women can be scientists and can do these types of intellectual things, that feels very important to me.тАЭ

Bialik added, тАЬAlso, as a second generation American whose grandparents on one side never fully mastered the English language, itтАЩs just an unbelievable opportunity to see what in two generations my family has been able to see.тАЭ
Buzzy Cohen, Savannah Guthrie, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Joe Buck, George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, David Faber and LeVar Burton are also on the lineup for remaining guest hosts.
тАЬJeopardy!тАЭ execs recently promised to announce a new permanent host this summer.
