‘I feel useless, irrelevant and worthless’

What is: Brutally honest.

“Jeopardy!” host Mayim Bialik revealed she feels “useless, irrelevant and worthless” during a recent “Ask Mayim Anything”-themed episode of the podcast “Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown.”

In the YouTube video uploaded last week, Bialik, 47, read a viewer’s question that asked: “What do you do when you feel useless, irrelevant and worthless, or do you not ever feel that way?”

“Great question,” the “Big Bang Theory” alum responded. “I do feel that way, and it’s kind of a hard question to answer because I know from where I’m sitting, obviously, I have a platform and I get to talk to people.

“I would say I am grateful I have the opportunity to be here, and I’m still a human and I often feel like what I’m doing is not what I’m supposed to be doing, or I’m not doing it well enough, or I’m not reaching enough people, or I’m not doing it right, or I look stupid,” Bialik explained. “Just name the thing and I think it.”

She added: “Some people like to surround themselves with people who will not make them feel useless, irrelevant and worthless, but because I’m an actor person, I grew up in a world where everyone was, like, ‘You’re amazing,’ and it’s sometimes hard for me to lean into believing people.”

To combat those feelings, Bialik said she tries to exercise, meditate, find quiet time for herself and eat healthy foods daily.

The “Call Me Kat” star revealed that also urged others who feel “consistently or persistently useless irrelevant and worthless” to seek professional help or talk to someone about it.

The Post has contacted representatives for Bialik for comment.

Bialik often faces the wrath of “Jeopardy!” fans on social media — some of whom claim her co-host, Ken Jennings, is “way more personable” than she is.

Many viewers rejoiced last week when Jennings returned to host the game show as Bialik had exited in its final week of filming in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

Last month, die-hard fans of the quiz show also criticized Bialik for her seemingly inconsistent rules.

Back in May, “Jeopardy!” executive producer Michael Davies defended both Bialik and Jennings, telling fans: “This show is so hard to host.”
