For instance, a $35k car for $6k worth of correct responses seems like overkill to me.”“No no no no no.

What is perseverance?A “Jeopardy!” contestant has returned to reclaim her crown — 50 years later.Player Martha Bath — who won the game show in 1972 — has come back to add more dough to her winnings.Bath told host Ken Jennings on Wednesday evening’s episode: “Fifty years ago this spring, I was on the original daytime show with Art Fleming in New York.”“Generally, ‘Jeopardy!’ appearances are one to a customer,” Jennings joked.Back in the day, the now-retired CPA ultimately scored $40 and a set of encyclopedias. Factoring in inflation, $40 would be about $283 today.The Seattle, Washington, native doubled her winnings with the query: “Perhaps the most famous picture of him was taken in New Jersey in 1951 as he was annoyed by paparazzi on his 72nd birthday.”This made her the game show’s champ and she answered, “Who is Einstein?”Since she wagered her entire prize pot, Bath’s score of $15,400 increased to $30,800 and she was able to get ahead of former winners Emmett Stanton and Christopher Pennant.

The Twitter announcement received hundreds of responses, many expressing unhappiness at the news that Bialik would be sticking around.

Executive producer Michael Davies assured viewers in a statement that the show “will not flip flop the hosts constantly,” as the team is aware fans “value consistency.”The nod to flip-flopping comes after news broke Monday that the pair would be crowned hosts, despite Sony declining to confirm.“I write today with the exciting news that we have closed and signed deals with Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings to be the hosts of ‘Jeopardy!’ moving forward,” Davies wrote on Wednesday. “The fact is, we have so much ‘Jeopardy!’ to make, and so many plans for the future, that we always knew we would need multiple hosts for the franchise and we are just so grateful that Mayim and Ken stepped in and stepped up to put the show in a position to succeed,” he continued.

reports that Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik will continue to split hosting duties after Sony Pictures Entertainment entered into long-term deals with both of the show's current leads.It was announced in September 2021 that Bialik and Jennings would host the game show through the calendar year. The news came shortly after after Mike Richards -- the show's former executive producer who was initially named as Alex Trebek's successor after the longtime host died in 2020 — stepped down as host after apologizing for making sexist comments about women in his past. In March, Bialik spoke to ET about what an honor it is to host the program in which she's «lived season to season, since I was about 13 years old.»“I think being a female is its own mark,” she explained.

back at the helm of the game show serving as a host and he’s already stunned viewers.Jennings, 48, hosted the show Monday after several months away, with Mayim Bialik filling in for him previously.During a Double Jeopardy round, a clue for “Active Bible Verses” read: “Since no one had done this for 40 years, God told Joshua to get a knife & do this to male Israelites.”Contestant Erica Weiner-Amanchi then buzzed in and said: “What is, Circumcise?”Jennings then joked, “That is correct. A painful $2,000 for you!”The players looked shocked and seemed to cringe at the NSFW joke.However, fans were ecstatic to have Jennings back as host and laughed at his gag.“@Jeopardy @KenJennings ‘A painful $2,000 for you.’ Thank you.

game show producers were forced to intervene during a show earlier this week when Bialik, 46, mistakenly said that a contestant didn’t win her points, when, in fact, the player did.The clue read: “From a Latin word for ‘to clock,’ it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing.”Contestant Andie Huskie then answered, “What is palliative care?” pronouncing it differently.However, he then corrected his solution to “palliative care” pronounced correctly before time ran out.But as he quickly changed his answer, the “Big Bang Theory” alum was already claiming the word was wrong.Producers chimed in while the show aired, coming in hot in the middle of a Daily Double.While another contestant was answering a different question, Bialik halted the game to announce their decision on Huskie’s behalf.She said, “We have a score change and, Andie, it affects you. The judges have reviewed your response, and you corrected your response of ‘palliative care’ before I began to rule you incorrect. We will be adding $4,000 to your score.
