📺 Why was Mayim Bialik fired as host of Jeopardy?

Mayim Bialik is out as Jeopardy host, and fans are split on the reason behind her firing.

📺 After a two-year stint and an Emmy nomination, Mayim Bialik is out as host of Jeopardy, leaving Ken Jennings as the sole host. Screen Rant says she had excitement and dedication, but behind-the-scenes turmoil led to her firing.

📺 The Mirror implied that Bialik was fired over her Israel-Hamas comments. She has been a long-time supporter of Israel.

📺 The Sun takes a different stance: Ken Jennings is simply the better host. Look no further than the ratings — fans prefer Ken's serious hosting style, saying it focuses more on contestants.

📺 But Nicki Swift says Jeopardy fans are bummed anyway, comparing Mayim to the legendary Alex Trebek.

🌙 Should you wear pajamas?

Pajamas may offer comfort, style, and hygiene benefits — but some say a baggy t-shirt is just as good.

🌙 Cuddle Clones recommends wearing pajamas for better sleep and hygiene. They're more than just sleepwear — they're a game-changer for health and comfort.

🌙 Plus, they're fashionable, notes Fashion Gone Rogue. Just because you're getting ready for bed doesn't mean you need to compromise your style.

🌙 But @dingzip doesn't think they're necessary. Just wear some comfy, baggy clothes instead.

🌙 And LittleThings.com warns: If you do wear pajamas, be sure to keep them fresh. A lot of gross things (like bacteria build-up) can happen if you don't.
