“Danger!” co-hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik faced each other, along with “Wheel of Fortune” host Vanna White, on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”
In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode obtained by Fox News Digital, the trio were seen trying to solve a puzzle while competing for charity.
“Funny to meet you here?” Bialik guessed wrong when her turn ended.

Apparently, Jennings, 48, took a clue from her guess — which differed by one word — then called out the correct answer: “Fancy meeting you here.”

“Yes that is it!” exclaimed host Pat Sajak as Bialik laughed and doubled over with embarrassment.
Jennings bowed slightly as he gestured to the “The Big Bang Theory” alum and told her, “Thank you!”
“They’re two hosts, but they work so well together,” Sajak joked. “It’s really great to see.”
Prior to hosting “Jeopardy!”, Jennings was the most successful contestant in quiz show history. The Washington native holds the record for the longest “Jeopardy!” winning streak, with 74 consecutive wins in five months in 2004.

Jennings and Bialik have served as alternate hosts of “Jeopardy!” since 2021, after the death of longtime presenter Alex Trebek at the end of 2020.
In the clip, Sajak Jennings asked about his encounters with fans of the show, noting, “There always has to be people coming up to you, like testing your knowledge, asking questions at you.”
“People literally come up to me on the street with a really tough trivia question that they apparently already have,” Jennings replied. “I was at the lake in the mountains with my kids one time. A guy just walks out of the woods and looks at me and says, ‘This band from the ’80s…'”

Sajak laughed and said, “That’s very funny. You never dreamed that you would host, did you?”
“No, not in my wildest dreams,” Jennings admitted. “But ‘Danger!’ and ‘Wheel’ were always my favorite shows as a kid, so this is a real bucket list for me.”

Their winnings will be donated to the charities of their choice, with Jennings donating his earnings to the Equal Justice Initiative, Bialik to the Mental Wealth Alliance, and White to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
