JEOPARDY! host Mayim Bialik has sparked concern from fans by looking “so sick” in a new video.
The actress revealed her medical diagnosis and fans are worried about the fate of the show.
Mayim took to Instagram on June 20 to do an Instagram live.
In the nearly seven-minute video, she explained to her followers that she has COVID-19.
The Jeopardy! host explained in her caption that she is vaccinated and boosted, however.
The 46-year-old decided to talk a little bit about what she is doing in quarantine and talked to her phone while making some tea.

Mayim wore a gray t-shirt with a logo on it, a white apron with a red outline, glasses, and unstyled hair.
The actress donned no make-up and black nail polish.
She broke the news on her Bialik Breakdown page, which is her podcast that discusses mental health.
Fans thought she looked “so sick” in the video and gave her some advice on how to fight the virus.
Mayim talked about advice that her friends and family have given her and also how she regrets taking her mask off in public.
As a scientist, she said she was fascinated by all the different kinds of variants of the virus.
The actress explained that she is feeling very tired and after she was done making her tea that she was going to go to sleep.
INCORRECT SNUB
Fans are wondering who will be hosting in the meantime until Mayim tests negative because Ken Jennings announced he would be “out for months.”
However, on Monday night’s show, which was pre-taped, she cut off a Jeopardy! champion, Megan Wachpress.
Attorney Megan won her fifth game with $51K total – but not before a “rude” and incorrect ruling that made more fans furious.
“You can lead a horse to water but you can’t do this,” Mayim asked during regular Jeopardy!.
Megan confidently responded, “What is: Drink… what is make-“
Before the player could finish her response, Mayim cut her off.
“No,” the actress said.
Megan tried to continue, “What is: Make them drink.”
But Mayim said “No,” once more.
Middle podium’s Ketty then replied “What Is: Make them drink” and was given the $400 instead.
BACKTRACKING
After many fans took to Twitter to say the ruling was “garbage,” the show backtracked and fixed the mistake.
“WTF Mayim cuts her off mid-delivery and says no before she could expand her answer. Two shows in a row of true garbage rulings,” one fan fumed.
“Jeopardy! just cheated Megan,” wrote another.
When the show came back from a commercial break, Mayim was the one who was over-ruled.
She explained that before Double Jeopardy! there would be a change in score.
Megan was right and the judges ruled that she would receive her points, adding $800 to her total.
Ketty kept her points so two players were given the $600 clue.
Fans were relieved but still mad about the mix-up.
“Megan CLEARLY started her second response before Mayim’s ruling. A good call to overturn that miss,” a Twitter user wrote after it was resolved.
