The Jeopardy! host was criticized last month (https://www.primetimer.com/item/Some-Jeopardy-fans-arent-happy-with-Mayim-Bialiks-use-of-the-term-quot-Single-Jeopardy-quot-a0SKY6) for referring to the opening round a "Single Jeopardy." "I did it once! I did it once," she tells Yahoo Entertainment. "There are, like, if it wasn't right, they would have had me redo it. Meaning, there's nothing I do-- like, I barely act alone. I promise. Like, there's so many things that we retape, we go back. I mean, I flub things. Like, you know, you're seeing an edited version. So it's funny. When I saw that, I was like, but if it was like literally not kosher, there's like a million producers and writers and researchers. Like they're all listening to me. So I was like, I know it may not be the norm, but when I saw that Alex (Trebek) had referred to it, it was not out of the norm. It is definitely not normative. I will never do it again, even if it's in the script. I will not say it. People care a lot! I get it, and I'm sorry, and I'm doing my best."

Good grief! There is nothing wrong with saying single Jeopardy for the opening round, single is half of double and the dollar amounts in single Jeopardy are half of the double Jeopardy round. :rolleyes:
