It remains unclear whether Bialik, the Big Bang Theory actress and a trained neuroscientist, is even an option to regularly deliver the clues on the Sony lot in Culver City, Calif., where the show tapes. Bialik's availability to host is still up in the air.

Mike Richards tries out as "Jeopardy!" host. Here's a recap of where we are right now: Richards has agreed to undergo sensitivity training. However, he stepped down just more than a week later, after offensive comments he had made in the past and a lawsuit over alleged inappropriate behavior while overseeing The Price Is Right came to light. Months of on-air auditions from TV personalities and journalists, including Jeopardy! champs Ken Jennings and Buzzy Cohen, journalists Robin Roberts, Anderson Cooper and Savannah Guthrie and many others culminated earlier this month in the announcement that Mike Richards, the show's executive producer, had landed the gig. The usually reliable TV staple has been shaken as it selects a permanent replacement for beloved host Alex Trebek, who died of pancreatic cancer in November after having hosted the quiz show since 1984.
This week, the biggest Jeopardy! question by far isn't on the show but rather behind the scenes it's what is going to happen to the beloved institution that, for many, has become part of daily life.
