Mayim Chaya Bialik (/ˈmaɪəm biˈɑːlɪk/ MY-əm bee-AH-lik; born December 12, 1975) is an American actress, neuroscientist, and author.
Career[]
From 1991 to 1995, she played the title character of the NBC sitcom Blossom. She later played neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory from 2010 to 2019. For her role as Fowler, Mayim was nominated four times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2015 and 2016. With the passing of Alex Trebek in late 2020, it was announced she would be hosting Jeopardy! primetime specials and spin-offs, with regular hosting duties being taken over by executive producer Mike Richards. But following Richards' resignation after taping his first five shows (after offensive comments on his podcasts resurfaced), both she and Ken Jennings were tapped right away to succeed him, splitting hosting duties. Mayim and Ken were named permanent co-hosts of Jeopardy! during the 2022-2023 season. Recently, Mayim was let go from hosting just the syndicated version of the show; it is unknown if she will still be available for any of the ABC shows.
