She took to Instagram on Friday to confirm the rumors, as she had not been seen on the show since her last appearance in May.
According to her post, Sony informed the Blossom actress that she will “no longer host” the syndicated version of the game show; seen in July 2022
“We are truly grateful for all of Mayim’s contributions to Jeopardy! and look forward to continuing to work with her on primetime specials.”
The Big Bang Theory veteran was replaced by Jennings on Celebrity Jeopardy! following his decision to leave his role supporting the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
A member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), he pulled out of filming the game show in its final week of filming season 39, leaving Jennings to take over in the meantime.
She was the emcee for some of the primetime shows and specials, but Jennings had been doing most of the hosting duties alone.
Over the summer, fans began speculating that Bialik would not return when Jeopardy! released a new poster celebrating the show’s 39th season on his official Instagram account.
The now-deleted artwork showed Jennings but not Bialik.
Bialik first began hosting the show in August 2021 and had been hired to be one of the replacements for host Alex Trebek, who was a fan favorite of the show from its revival in 1984 until his tragic death.
The game show host and television personality passed away at the age of 80 in November 2020 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Thereafter, Bialik and Jennings were expected to continue sharing emcee duties for both the current 40th season and the franchise’s other slew of iterations of the show.
The unprecedented deal appeared successful as some fans began debating who was their favorite host among the duo.
Earlier this spring, executive producer and showrunner Michael Davies said Vulture he “backed them both” and they both earned high ratings.
In May, he continued: ‘When Ken is the host and Mayim is the host, there is zero difference.
“I go into the studio every day and try to make them both better hosts of the show and create a better show environment around them,” he said at the time. “They have my full support.”
