American actor Mayim Bialik will soon begin her guest host run on `Jeopardy!` and she says the role is an "immense honour." According to Fox News, the 45-year-old actor and neuroscientist shared her appreciation for the trivia game show in a five-minute interview, which was uploaded to the `Jeopardy!` YouTube channel Saturday. "This is such an iconic and unbelievable piece of our collective culture, to be considered to be part of it really in any way. It`s an immense honour. Especially for someone who`s dedicated so much of my life to academia to knowing things and to being able to communicate things," Bialik said.
When asked what her favourite `Jeopardy!` moment has been, Bialik revealed that she and late host Alex Trebek crossed paths when she was a young actor on NBC`s `Blossom.` "Well, Alex Trebek was on `Blossom,` the show that I was on in the 90s and that was really spectacular because at the time, we were a young show and we were just trying to get guest stars who had notoriety and Alex was that," Bialik explained. "I didn`t get to interact with him so it`s not as exciting a `Jeopardy!` story, but I have been an answer I think more than once and usually I get random texts in the middle of the night from relative or friends saying: `Look, you were the answer on `Jeopardy!`" she added.
