Well yeah, if you go on strike when your union says you shouldn’t, you’re going to lose your job.

However, executive producer Michael Davies recently revealed at the 2024 Television Critics Association’s winter press tour “Unscripted Storytellers” panel that Jeopardy Productions was already looking into bringing back Mayim Bialik for some version of the show.

Despite the firing, Davies defended the former host (per Variety), saying, “Mayim is a superb host. We hope to continue working with her on primetime versions — this conversation is ongoing.”

While Davies did not give any specifics as to when Mayim Bialik might return to host Jeopardy, it is striking that a “conversation” is happening at all, considering the storm of controversy that surrounded her entire tenure on the show.

Interesting turn of events!
