Well, we know one person who will never be invited to a secret celebrity Dungeons and Dragons game .

Wil Wheaton who regularly guest starred on The Big Bang Theory as himself (and Sheldons sometimes nemesis) posted his disgust of Jeopardy! co-host Ken Jennings Monday.

According to a post published on Facebook by Wheaton, the Star Trek alum was deeply annoyed by a Daily Beast story about Jennings crossing the Writers Guild of Americas (WGA) picket line to keep the long-time game show running during the writers strike.

Jennings Jeopardy! co-host and Wheatons former Big Bang co-star Mayim Bialik reportedly backed out of taping the game show for the rest of the season in an act of solidarity with WGA writers, who are picketing over pay and working conditions. (HuffPosts unionized employees are represented by the WGAE.)

This is a VERY small town, Ken Jennings, Wheaton began his scathing post. And we will all remember this. Your privilege may protect you right now, but we will *never* forget.

Bialik and Jennings became the permanent co-hosts of Jeopardy! in July 2022 and have been alternating hosting duties ever since. But due to Bialik reportedly stepping out to support WGA writers, Jennings will replace her on the last episodes of the season, set for taping on the Sony lot May 16-19, according to Deadline .

Jeopardy! uses Writers Guild of America writers to write their clues, Deadline reports, and some including Michele Loud, Jim Rhine, and Billy Wisse have reportedly joined the picket line. However, the outlet also reports that writers completed their duties ahead of the season and the strike.
