Mayim Bialik will soon begin her guest host run on “Jeopardy!” and she says the role is an “immense honor.”

"This is such an iconic and unbelievable piece of our collective culture, to be considered to be part of it really in any way," Bialik said. "It's an immense honor. Especially for someone who's dedicated so much of my life to academia to knowing things and to being able to communicate things." When asked what her favorite "Jeopardy!" moment has been, Bialik revealed that she and late host Alex Trebek crossed paths when she was a young actress on NBC’s "Blossom."
