Mayim Bialik recently appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she explained herself after angering "Jeopardy" fans. For the first time in the show's history, she referred to the first round as "Single Jeopardy."

Fans were outraged on social media following Mayim's new nickname for the first round. However, the blame for this doesn't appear to fall on Mayim herself. She revealed to Kelly that a "clue board" was visible to her that sported the term "Single Jeopardy." It's not something she concocted from her imagination.

Mayim told Kelly during her appearance on the talk show that she "didn't make something up that doesn't exist." Despite the fan outrage, Mayim is standing her ground and not allowing herself to take the fall for any alleged mistake.

Mayim also revealed that the higher-ups at Jeopardy didn't have a problem with her use of terminology. She told Kelly, "If they wanted me to redo it, they would've stopped me, but they didn't, so I continued."

Fans might have to sit tight if they want Ken Jennings to take over as full-time host. If Mayim didn't actually make an error, she's probably not going anywhere as part-time host of the game show.

Kelly couldn't hold back her feelings on the matter, and she immediately came to Mayim's defense. "Isn't it crazy what people freak out about? I know it is important, but you almost just want to like start sending them real things that are happening, that are important, You know?" Kelly said.

Kelly didn't stop there in her confusion about why fans would be so upset about this issue. She said, "There's real issues. Why did you focus on that? But whatever."

Unfortunately for Kelly, her statements on the matter were not appreciated by viewers. Fans in the comments of her YouTube clip of the interview cited her talk show as the reason she's a hypocrite. According to one viewer, "it's funny that Kelly starts admonishing people to focus on 'more important issues' when most of her own talk show is fluff."

The negativity surrounding her defense of Mayim Bialik isn't the only rough spot for Kelly this year. She's also coming off of her whirlwind of a divorce that forced her to pay her former love nearly 1.5 million dollars and child support totaling roughly $45,000 per month.

If that wasn't hectic enough, she also recently legally changed her name. While she'll be going by Clarkson in the public eye, her new last name is now Brianne. With everything going on in her personal life, this "Jeopardy" drama is nothing.
