Jeopardy!'s Mayim Bialik reveals crazy amount of piercings and admits she once got 'staph infection

JEOPARDY! host Mayim Bialik has revealed a shocking incident stemming from her crazy amount of piercings.

Mayim, 47, answered questions from fans in a nearly one-hour new video.

A follower on her YouTube channel asked: "How many ear piercings do you have?"

The Jeopardy! host poked her ear with her finger and replied: "Well, I have eight on the right, six on the left.

"But one of the piercings on the left, 20 years after having it, one day decided it did not want an earring in it anymore."

The Big Bang Theory alum continued: "I preceded to get a staph infection, which spread to my eyes."

Mayim laughed and said: "That's a very long answer to how many ear piercings."

She pulled at each ear and added: "Eight. Let's see. 

"Five of them on the regular lobe on the right side. The rest is up high.

"And on the left, I used to have four, and then the others are up high."

Mayim concluded: "I did have an eyebrow piercing for a period, but I took it out. 

"Now I just have a scar. My eyebrow hair grows funny in that area. Something they should have warned me about."

Staph can cause "boils and oozing blisters," according to the Mayo Clinic.

DIFFICULT CATEGORIES

Meanwhile, Jeopardy! fans have slammed the writing team for making past games appear difficult.

In June, Mayim presented a movie mashup category that fans blasted "barely even made sense." 

Another category entailed naming Shakespeare's plays by their first speeches.

Last month, producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss responded to those claims in an installment of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast.

Sarah opened up: "I saw a lot of commentary about the difficulty of the boards in this game. Yes, difficult."

She went on: "People were also commenting: 'It's because the writers are on strike.' 

"We finished all of Season 39 with material written completely by our union, the WGA writer."

Sarah argued: "Sometimes game boards seem more difficult based on contestants. 

"Sometimes, a category does not play well as expected. 

"But it really is about the combination of the three people on that stage in that show, and their wealth of knowledge."

"They could really play those same boards on a different day and have a different result," the Jeopardy! producer closed.

The Writers Guild of America strike began in May after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) failed to agree on a new three-year film/TV contract.
