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.

Teacher Shares Students' Outraged Reaction To Having To Write A Single Paragraph—And We're Doomed

Anyone who graduated from high school or college during or before the pandemic can attest to the lengthy writing assignments they often had to complete.

From five-paragraph essays during class using a black or blue pen, to writing paragraph "discussion" posts and choosing three peers to respond to, to writing twenty-page theses that took weeks to prepare, we had plenty of stress, cramped hands, and tired eyes.

Trump Ripped After Saying He 'Would Love To' Run For President Again In 2028

President Donald Trump was called out after he told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Japan that he would "love to" run in the next election and shut down rumors he'd be on the Republican ticket as Vice President.

The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
