LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After Mayim Bialik chose to step down as a host on 'Jeopardy!' and took a decision to not film the last episode, standing in support of the Writers Guild of America strike, the show's other host Ken Jennings chose otherwise. And after much contemplation by fans on if the show will continue, it was decided that it will apparently go on. As a celebrity, people have certain responsibilities and when that isn't followed, then it all boils down to fans dissing and calling them names on the internet.
After it was confirmed that Bialik isn't hosting 'Jeopardy!' anymore and Jennings will come back solo, fans were furious and did what they do best, took their anger on the internet, and spewed hatred at Jennings. The anger is at an all-time high, considering 'Jeopardy!' is a WGA show, and some of its writers, including Michele Loud, Jim Rhine, and Billy Wisse, have reportedly joined the picket line, according to The Daily Beast. A picket line is "a boundary established by workers on strike, especially at the entrance to the place of work, which others are asked not to cross."

Another user wrote, "Of course Ken Jennings is a scab. He’s not LeVar Burton!"
