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.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
