Mayim Bialik may have been fired from her job as one of the hosts of Jeopardy!, but we just can’t quit her.
Well, we can’t quit talking about her job as host of Jeopardy!, at least, because today, a news report revealing both Bialik and her fellow host Ken Jennings’ salaries as the hosts of the show were revealed, and it’s definitely more than any Daily Double on the quiz show.
Last year, both Bialik and Jennings were each making $US4 million per year (almost $AU6 million) for their duties hosting the game show.
For Bialik, this figure was for her work as host of both the syndicated version of the series, as well the primetime versions that aired on the show’s US network ABC, including Celebrity Jeopardy!
With Bialik no longer working at the show and Jennings now primary host, it is expected that his salary will increase as he takes over for her duties.
Bialik announced her abrupt departure from the show on the weekend, writing on Instagram, “Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!”
She continued, “I am incredibly honoured 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.”
In a post on the show’s official Instagram account, they responded that the decision was an effort to “maintain continuity for our viewers,” also adding, “We are truly grateful for all of Mayim’s contributions to Jeopardy!, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials.”
