Some other popular shows now in production, including “ Stranger Things,” have been postponed as well. Late-night television shows were the first to be halted by the writers’ strike. The quiz show is able to move ahead with production of the final week of the season during the strike since the trivia questions were reportedly already written before picketing began. The report also noted that Bialik’s co-host, former “Jeopardy!” champion Ken Jennings, is taking over hosting duties for her.

The “Call Me Kat” star, who has been co-hosting the uber-popular TV trivia show on and off since 2021, opted not to host the final week of filming of Season 39, in solidarity with the ongoing writers’ strike, according to a Friday report from Deadline.ĬNN has reached out to representatives for both Bialik as well as “Jeopardy!” for comment.

Mayim Bialik is taking a stand for entertainment industry writers by choosing to stop her “Jeopardy!” hosting gig early.
