'Jeopardy!' host Mayim Bialik received criticism from producer amid fan backlash

"Jeopardy!" fans often seem to prefer host Ken Jennings over Mayim Bialik, and a producer for the game show has revealed advice she gave to the actress as she adjusted to hosting duties.

As heard on the podcast, the "Big Bang Theory" star spoke to the audience during a Q&A session that took place during a taping of the show. When asked what surprised her most about hosting, she said, "I did not expect to enjoy as much watching while I’m up there as much as I do, and it’s hard not to get honestly sort of starstruck by the contestants up here." Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.

"And I have to remember that I can’t be exceptionally surprised when they get things right, which I used to be," she continued. "I used to be, ‘Wow, yes, you got it!’ So I try to be more chill about it, but it really is very impressive to watch the show from up there."
