Mayim Bialik isn't ready to bid farewell to hosting "Jeopardy!" The actress-turned-TV host revealed in an interview on the Critics' Choice Awards red carpet that her current guest-hosting gig is something she'd like to become permanent. "I would love that," the former "Big Bang Theory" star told Entertainment Tonight on Sunday night. "I like to say, I’ve lived season to season, since I was about 13 years old.

So, what I know is I’m hosting until May 6, and beyond that, hopefully," she added. This image released by Jeopardy! shows Mayim Bialik hosting the game show series ‘Jeopardy!,’ on Aug.

"before May 6."   Not only would becoming the emcee of the game show host be an honor because she's been a fan since she was a teenager, but also because she'd make history as the first full-time female host. "I think being a female is its own mark," she told the outlet. "My grandparents were immigrants to this country, so I think for me, being in two generations being a woman and a host in that iconic role blows my mind." Bialik, 46, also spoke about late host Alex Trebek and his family, whom she had the chance of meeting after his passing.
