After Mike Richards stepped down as the new host of Jeopardy!, Mayim Bialik is now front and center.

The show has gone back to having guest hosts, and she will be serving as the first.

She is currently scheduled to tape three weeks of episodes when production resumes this week. The production company also said additional guest hosts will be announced as production on the upcoming 38th season of the quiz show continues.

Bialik was announced earlier this month as the new host for Jeopardy primetime specials and spin-offs, with Richards tapped to host the syndicated version before he announced Friday he was stepping away amid resurfaced controversial remarks. Bialik guest hosted Jeopardy earlier this year from May 31 to June 11.

The episodes that were hosted by Mike Richards will premiere during the first week of the show’s 38th season on September 13.
