Ken Jennings Demanding $4 Million Increase to ‘Jeopardy!’ Salary After Mayim Bialik’s Exit: Report

As this outlet reported, a bombshell report claimed Jennings bad-mouthed Bialik behind the scenes before her firing. The report claimed her co-host felt she wasn’t “worthy” of sharing the spotlight with him.

During their reign as co-hosts, Bialik briefly paused her duties in solidarity with the Hollywood actors and writers strikes.

“By the time she came back, Ken managed to win over fans and convince bosses they didn’t need two hosts — only him,” a tipster said.
