came under scrutiny after several fans of the famous quiz show claimed that “The Big Bang Theory” star had inconsistent rules during Wednesday’s game.The incident occurred during the show’s Double “Jeopardy!” round when the contestants began selecting under the “Presidential Doin’s” category.“Made Henry Clay Secretary of State; 2 years after the White House, settled into a new House (of Representatives),” read the clue.Contestant Kyle Marshall rang in with the answer, “Who is Adams?”“More specific,” inquired Bialik, 47.Marshall then clarified “Who is John Adams” as Bialik declared the answer incorrect.Returning champ Ilhana Redzovic swooped in to steal the question by saying the answer was the sixth president of the US, John Quincy Adams.

The Post reached out to Bialik for comment.Bialik’s need for clarification sent fans on Twitter into a tizzy as the “Call Me Kat” star did not ask for more info on a previous question about William Henry Harrison.
