LOS ANGELES -- Mayim Bialik knew she’d be busy around this time of year, but not this busy.
Besides starting production on a new season of Fox's sitcom “Call Me Kat,” Bialik was recalled to duty as a “Jeopardy!” guest host — the result of the quiz show's publicly messy effort to replace the late Alex Trebek.
Mike Richards e xited as newly minted host (and producer) in August after past unsavory podcast comments came to light. Bialik and “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings were then brought in by studio Sony while its host search begins anew.
Bialik had already been hired as emcee of “Jeopardy!” prime-time and spinoff series, including a new college championship. She, Jennings and Richards were among the dozen-plus temp hosts who vied earlier this year for the plum job.
