Mayim Bialik has a new show on Fox. However, she is going to be reunited with cast members from one of her old shows on the second season premiere of Call Me Kat. Blossom’s Joey Lawrence, Jenna von Oÿ, and Michael Stoyanov will guest star as themselves on the episode that airs on January 9th.
So set your DVRs because you are not going to want to miss that episode.
Before Mayim Bialik had two brothers on Blossom, she had two of each in Pumpkinhead. She looks the same now as she did when she was 11 in that 1988 movie.
Jeopardy has chosen stability and named two temporary hosts for the rest of 2021. They are Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings.
Bialik is currently taping episodes until November 5th, Jennings will go next, and they will switch out as their schedules allow. Bialik was already attached to do the second season of Call Me Kat for Fox when all of this started to happen.
I can’t blame the game show’s decision. After all, they lost their permanent host, who was also their EP, in less than two weeks. The viewers need normalcy since they are still grieving Alex Trebek’s death. More importantly, so does the crew.
Are you happy with their choice? I still want to see Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo and Neil deGrasse Tyson get an audition.
Jeopardy has been on the search for a new host, and today they named the two people who will replace the late Alex Trebek. The daily host is Executive Producer Mike Richards, while the host of the primetime special National College Championship is going to Mayim Bialik.
“We are thrilled to begin the next chapter of America’s Favorite Quiz Show with Mike hosting our daily show and Mayim hosting new versions of Jeopardy!,” Ravi Ahuja, chairman of Global Television Studios and Corporate Development for Sony Pictures said to The Hollywood Reporter. “We took this decision incredibly seriously. A tremendous amount of work and deliberation has gone into it, perhaps more than has ever gone into the selection of hosts for a show – deservedly so because it’s Jeopardy! and we are following the incomparable Alex Trebek. A senior group of Sony Pictures Television executives pored over footage from every episode, reviewed research from multiple panels and focus groups, and got valuable input from our key partners and Jeopardy! viewers.”
Ahuja continued, “We knew early on that we wanted to divide the hosting responsibilities and it became very clear that Mike and Mayim were the undeniable choices. They were both at the top of our research and analysis. Mike is a unique talent, at ease behind the podium and a double threat as producer and host. Mayim has a wonderful energy, an innate sense of the game, and an authentic curiosity that naturally represents the Jeopardy! brand. We are excited to get to work with them both and are confident that they will carry on the legacy of this iconic show.”
What do you think of Richards as the new host? He reminds me of vanilla and Wonder Bread. I am not saying that because he is white, I am saying it because he is boring and forgettable.
Bialik is Bialik, you either like her, or you don’t. I don’t.
ABC announced today that Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 will be back for another season.
That means Ellen Pompeo will keep us guessing all season long if she will do another season for more money than she deserves. If she quits or the show gets cancelled, then her career is over. Can you see her found anything but Grey’s? She has barely don’t anything else in the 17 years?
Would you watch Grey’s with Meredith?
I will say something nice. At least Station 19 is returning. Now can they stop doing those crossovers that aren’t really crossovers?
UPDATE: Fox picked up Call Me Kat with Mayim Bialik for a second season. Not to be catty, but that show is so not funny. I tried 5 episodes, and even my cat told me to stop. If they want to get me to watch, just live stream kitties in the Cat Cafe. Then I will be hooked.
UPDATE 2: Fox cancelled the serial killer procedural Prodigal Son after two seasons.
