New 'Jeopardy!' host Mayim Bialik reveals how she honored her Jewish heritage while filming episodes

Mayim Bialik revealed she honored her Jewish heritage every time she guest-hosted "Jeopardy!" Now that she's landed a permanent role, she plans to continue honoring her family and people.

"Here’s a fun secret: I wore a Jewish star in every episode of ‘Jeopardy!’ that I guest hosted," Bialik told the Jewish Journal. "Sometimes a pin, sometimes a ring and most often, one of two ‘hidden’ Mogen Dovids. One of my outfits featured earrings from The City of David in Jerusalem, which were unearthed in a dig in recent years. "I find ways to maintain my sense of ‘Jewishness’ wherever I go," she added. "And it’s especially important to me to do that on such a public stage."
