‘Jeopardy!’ host Mayim Bialik: ‘I feel useless, irrelevant and worthless’

“Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown.” In the YouTube video uploaded last week, Bialik, 47, read a viewer’s question that asked: “What do you do when you feel useless, irrelevant and worthless, or do you not ever feel that way?”“Great question,” the “Big Bang Theory” alum responded. “I do feel that way, and it’s kind of a hard question to answer because I know from where I’m sitting, obviously, I have a platform and I get to talk to people.“I would say I am grateful I have the opportunity to be here, and I’m still a human and I often feel like what I’m doing is not what I’m supposed to be doing, or I’m not doing it well enough, or I’m not reaching enough people, or I’m not doing it right, or I look stupid,” Bialik explained. “Just name the thing and I think it.”She added: “Some people like to surround themselves with people who will not make them feel useless, irrelevant and worthless, but because I’m an actor person, I grew up in a world where everyone was, like, ‘You’re amazing,’ and it’s sometimes hard for me to lean into believing people.”To combat those feelings, Bialik said she tries to exercise, meditate, find quiet time for herself and eat healthy foods daily.

The “Call Me Kat” star revealed that also urged others who feel “consistently or persistently useless irrelevant and worthless” to seek professional help or talk to someone about it.

The Post has contacted representatives for Bialik for comment. Bialik often faces the wrath of “Jeopardy!” fans on social media — some of whom claim her co-host, Ken Jennings, is “way more personable” than she is.
