When Alex Trebek died in November 2020, a string of guests took over hosting duties for Jeopardy! In September 2021, Bialik and Ken Jennings were selected to host the show through the end of the calendar year—and they were made permanent hosts in July 2022.

In August 2023, ABC announced Jennings would take over for Bialik for Celebrity Jeopardy!

"It's changed my life in enormous ways," Bialik told Entertainment Tonight in April 2022, of hosting the game show. "My recognizability and kind of familiarity that people feel with me is a lot more, especially with, like, a nightly show like that, when you’re on a show that’s always in people’s living rooms or wherever they choose to watch."
