American actor Mayim Bialik will soon begin her guest host run on 'Jeopardy!' and she says the role is an "immense honour." According to Fox News, the 45-year-old actor and neuroscientist shared her appreciation for the trivia game show in a five-minute interview, which was uploaded to the 'Jeopardy!' YouTube channel Saturday. "This is such an iconic and unbelievable piece of our collective culture, to be considered to be part of it really in any way. It's an immense honour. Especially for someone who's dedicated so much of my life to academia to knowing things and to being able to communicate things," Bialik said.

When asked what her favourite 'Jeopardy!' moment has been, Bialik revealed that she and late host Alex Trebek crossed paths when she was a young actor on NBC's 'Blossom.' "Well, Alex Trebek was on 'Blossom,' the show that I was on in the 90s and that was really spectacular because at the time, we were a young show and we were just trying to get guest stars who had notoriety and Alex was that," Bialik explained. "I didn't get to interact with him so it's not as exciting a 'Jeopardy!' story, but I have been an answer I think more than once and usually I get random texts in the middle of the night from relative or friends saying: 'Look, you were the answer on 'Jeopardy!'" she added.
