Mayim Bialik will no longer host Jeopardy!

The actor and quiz show host announced her departure on Friday in an Instagram post that was designed to look like one of the shows iconic game board screens.

In her statement, Bialik seemed to suggest that her exit came as a surprise.

As the holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news, she shared. Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!

I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family, her statement said.
