Mayim Bialik Has Priceless Reaction To Learning She Was 'Jeopardy!' Contestant's 'Celebrity Crush'

Jeopardy!

The 'Jeopardy!' host was left blushing after contestant Dan Oxman admitted to having a crush on her back in her 'Big Bang Theory' days.

We'll take things that make you smile for $200.

Here's the clue: This actor, author and neuroscientist was the childhood celebrity crush of a contestant on the game show she currently hosts.


If you said, "Who is Mayim Bialik," you get to select the next clue.

In what might be the most adorable contestant introduction ever, the aforementioned crush was an actual topic of conversation during Wednesday's High School Reunion Tournament.

While introducing contestant Dan Oxman of South Orange, New Jersey, Bialik giggled:

"I don't really want to talk about what we're going to talk about, but apparently I was your celebrity crush growing up?"

Oxman, now a senior in college, replied:

"This is a long time ago, Mayim, but you know, when I was a little kid, I saw you on TV and I really admired how you played, like, a super awesome scientist [on 'The Big Bang Theory]."
"And then I found out you were a scientist with a doctorate in real life. And then I was just like..."

The grinning contestant made a "mind blown" noise before adding:

"And you haven't aged a day."

You can watch the moment below.

Viewers of the introduction had all kinds of reactions.

Of course, the majority agreed the moment was adorable.



And others related to Oxman's admission.


But some - like us - felt a little old, considering our childhood featured Bialik as a different character.

While Oxman ended up in third place, he did walk away with $1,662. Plus, he spent a good half hour with his childhood celebrity crush - we'd call that a win.

Website Listing Pro-MAGA Businesses Epically Backfires As Critics Use It For Boycotts Instead

PublicSquare, a website which bills itself as “the anti-woke online marketplace" and offers a list of MAGA-friendly businesses, found its mission completely upended after critics instead used the site to fuel boycotts around the country.

The platform connects tens of thousands of businesses across the country that publicly align with MAGA views and oppose “progressive priorities” such as women’s reproductive rights and diversity initiatives. To list a business on the site, owners must first affirm that they will “respect the core values of PublicSquare” and agree not to “support causes that are in direct conflict with our core values.”

'The View' Audience Horrified After Cohost Defends Trump's $5k 'Baby Bonus' To Boost Birth Rates

Things took a turn on The View during a chat about President Donald Trump's proposed "baby bonus" of $5,000 for women to boost birth rates after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin—a former Trump administration appointee who bowed out in 2020 and condemned his supporters' attack on the U.S. Capitol—defended the move.

Earlier, The New York Timesreported that the Trump administration "has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children" and that one proposal shared with aides "would give a $5,000 cash 'baby bonus' to every American mother after delivery."

Fox News Just Aired A Disastrous Poll About President Trump—And It's A Big Yikes

President Donald Trump's approval ratings are in big trouble according to the latest Fox News poll, which shows that even a network known for being largely deferential to his administration can't spin Trump's falling popularity.

Trump’s approval rating has dipped below levels seen during his first term, with the poll showing growing voter dissatisfaction across most major issues. The poll, conducted April 18–21, found that just 44% of registered voters approve of his performance, while 55% disapprove—a 5-point drop since March and a point lower than his rating at the same stage in his first term.
