She was excellent. I knew she would be.

I was pleasantly surprised, I think she did really well hosting her first show.  She's got the right tempo going, pronounciation, personality, etc...to be an enjoyable host. 

I think everyone has done a commendable job, some I've liked better than others, and wonder who they will decide upon in the end. 

I will look forward to the next two weeks with Mayim hosting.  Bill Whitaker and Dr. Oz were my least favorites so far.

She was a great host I really enjoyed the show

I read that she filmed the two weeks in two days, but I think that is about the same time period for all of the hosts and Alex. It's back-to-back-to-back, etc. 

I also read somewhere that all contestants are to bring at least three changes of clothes, in case they win, since they film more than one a day.

Sorry @chickenbutt ; I just now saw your post. Thanks to those who answered her question.

[Love my grandkids]

I thought Oz and Richards just stunk.

I feel Mayim did an excellent job with the enunciation. She spoke clearly/distinctly. Her tone was good and I was glad she was not giddy. Very professional.

I am not sure why she mentioned her PhD. Can't remember under what context she mentioned it at the beginning. I don't recall any of the other guest hosts bringing up any degrees they may have.

Well Ken Jennings is the only host I care for...( just not a real fan of anyone else) I can't even really say why, he just seems like Jeopardy to me..

@World Traveler  I agree about the PhD mention. Why? Frankly I'm tired of seeing her in that commercial where she says she doesn't just play a brainy person on TV, she really is a neuro scientist  OK she is paid to sell a product but bragging about how smart you are is off-putting as was mentioning her PhD at the show start.

Aside from that bit of bragging, I really liked her as host. She did a great job. I didn't like her messy hair and how frumpily she dresses but I could overlook that if she were host. She'd need a stylist.

Thanks for this thread, I really like Mayim Bialik as an actress, but had forgotten she was going to host Jeaopardy this week, I will set up my dvr to record a few episodes to watch.

@Pearlee  I believe that she is limited in what she is allowed to wear in areas such as skirt length due to her faith, so a stylist might or might not be of much help.  She may even be pushing the limits with her hair cut being relatively short, I don't know for sure.
