JEOPARDY! host Ken Jennings has called out members of the audience for wearing outfits favoring Mayim Bialik, a wild new video revealed.
He spotted in disbelief that they came to his episode dressed like her sitcom character.
During a commercial break, Ken, 48, started to interact with the live studio audience.
In particular, with four audience members who the surprised host saw wearing "Blossom" hats - the exact accessory actress and dual-host Mayim, 46, donned on-screen for her '90s sitcom.
Ken wasn't thrilled that the attendees chose to tip their hats to Mayim, so to speak, during his taping and threw dirt their way.
"It looks like there are some people who knew I was going to be hosting and wore my favorite flower on their heads," he said pointing at them.
The crowd laughed nervously and applauded.
"Thank you, that's so sweet," he sarcastically continued.
"For wearing a hat for your favorite host!" he hilariously shaded holding his hands to his heart.
"Aw, that means so much!" - the Mayim supporters of course had to sit in their near-front seats and just take it.
Fans went wild in the comments under the less-than-flowery interaction Jeopardy! just had to share it on Facebook.
"They wanted BLOSSOM!" one commented below the game show's share.
"Funny Ken!" wrote another.
"I think they thought they were going to a Mayim Bialik taping," wrote a third who was also in disbelief.
"Just make Ken the sole host," wrote a fourth.
A fifth defended being pro-Mayim or pro-Ken isn't helpful and wrote: "They both fill a purpose and have their audiences. I'm glad they're sharing the hosting duties."
After two and a half years of empty seats, cheering crowds are back and filling the stands at the newly named Alex Trebek Stage this season.
Jeopardy!'s brand new season premiered last month and alum Ken Jennings is hosting until January.
As Season 38 wrapped and before the now-airing Season 39, he and actress Mayim Bialik - now handling Celebrity Jeopardy! - were officially announced as the permanent replacements for the late, great Alex Trebek.
Ken and Mayim began regularly filling in for the legendary Alex in 2021 after his tragic 2020 passing at age 80 and a "carousel" of Season 37 celebrity guest hosts, as Ken said with Vulture today.
The search also landed on former executive producer Mike Richards who nabbed the hosting gig from the inside before the shocking decision was "reversed" a week later.
The decision to keep both hosts permanently was announced on July 27, following months of speculation over whether producers would drop either Mayim or Ken.
Ken told Vulture about the dual-host decision today that he was surprised it could even be done.
"At the time, the idea that the hosting position could be split between multiple people didn’t occur to me, although now it seems pretty natural.
"Mayim and I have been splitting the job and the producers are talking about other possible spinoffs with other possible hosts."
"Obviously, it wasn’t my decision. That would be Sony Pictures Television. The virtue of it is that Jeopardy! has a huge audience and a really diverse one."
In an interview with Inside Jeopardy! in September, Ken also said that he supports the dual-hosting arrangement.
“Jeopardy’s got such a big diverse audience, you’re not gonna be able to please everybody every night," he said.
“But I think that’s the virtue of having a couple of hosts.
“It’s a matter of taste, hosting style,” he added.
