Celebrity Jeopardy! Host he Mayim Bialik awkwardly cuts off “Superbad” star Michael Cera in a “terrible” new episode of the game show.
On Thursday night’s episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! Things got a little embarrassing when 47-year-old Mime interrupted a fangirl of 34-year-old movie star Michael.

Throughout the show, Mime behaved in a way that some interpreted as disgusting when it came to dealing with a 34-year-old during the series.
A standout offensive exchange in tonight’s episode was when Michael tried to guess a clue by Zoe Chao, 37, a famous contestant on the show Party Down, after she missed a clue.
The clue was about Asian food, so Zoe said she felt like a “bad Chinese” for not knowing it.
The Arrested Development Alum was ready to deduce a clue, but was clumsily silenced by Mime before he could.
“Take a commercial break,” Mame said aloud from a scripted cue card, but Juno’s main character didn’t respond and couldn’t get a clue.
Building on the painful awkwardness, Mayim also spent the first interview portion of Jeopardy! Basically, it rattles about Juno and Superbad, the iconic mid-2000s movies starring Michael.
‘It’s kinda cute’
Many of Michael’s fans took to Twitter to share their heartfelt reactions to seeing him on Celebrity Jeopardy!
One fan asked in a tweet, “Does Michael Cera look kinda cute in Celebrity Jeopardy now??”
“MICHAEL CERA. ON CELEBRITY JEOPARDY. Please continue to be my heartbeat.”
One fan tweeted, “Michael Cera looks so nasty in Celebrity Jeopardy lol.

Another fan on Twitter praised, “Michael Cera looks really good with facial hair,” while one questioned: Why is Michael Cera on Celebrity Jeopardy?
Zoe and Brianne Howie, 33, rivals of the Netflix series Genie & Georgia, came under fire for their performances on the show, even though Michael received relatively positive feedback from viewers.
At the end of the game, Michael won $20,000, but his two opponents scored pretty low.
One fan tweeted: “That was absolutely brutal. I clean up Celebrity Jeopardy,” while another added: “Boring…these people are really stupid.”
A third fan claimed on Twitter:
A Fourth Chime on Twitter: “If you want to give your ego a boost, check out Celebrity Jeopardy. It’s that easy.”
quarter final
This episode is the third “Quarterfinal” round, meaning one player advances to the Semifinals.
After two more quarterfinal games, all three winners will qualify for the final final of the year.
Many fans are anticipating not only the episode of the show airing tonight, but also the upcoming finale.
It’s been at least two months since the primetime spinoff aired, and it’s moved from Sunday to Thursday.
There is little reason as to why the game contest was moved.
This Thursday’s episode was the first time fans saw Mayim Bialik host on Jeopardy!
All-time winner Ken Jennings has been a regular on the show for months.
