Well, I guess we’re stuck with her now. ( Ken was So much better… and actually inspiring!)

So what if she sometimes can’t even pronounce English and tries to do the “lets call the banker” pause Howie Mandel truly sucked for.

"\< One Mississippi… Two Mississippi… Three Mississippi… Four Mississippi… \> “You’re right!”

Hey, it’s not your money, Bialik. Stick yourself with a pin and try to pretend you’re happy when the players get the questions right and win. I swear, every time I see her drop into ‘smug mode’, I think the players money should double just because they have to deal with  
“Dame Obnoxious of Smugberry”.

Not necessarily. Here’s what I posted over at the Jeopardy thread:

> The first _Jeopardy!_ spinoff series debuts on ABC on Sundays this fall: _Celebrity Jeopardy!_ Speculation is that Mayim will host, since they said last fall that she would host prime time Jeopardy. The fact that Ken has left _The Chase_ is fueling speculation that he’ll be permanent host of the daily show.
