Bialik, who had been Emmy-nominated for the show, will not be replaced. Instead, Ken Jennings will continue, but as a solo host.
The show has been searching for the right way to continue on in the wake of longtime host Alex Trebek's death in November 2020.
Others who did not work out include LeVar Burton, a fan fave, and even Dr. Oz.
Bialik and Jennings had been co-hosts since July 2022.
