DANGER! fans said they will “miss” three-day champion Yungshen’s “wild fashion pattern” on Thursday.
He lost a “clumsy” match hosted by Mayim Bialik.

Mayim, 46, hosts Jeopardy! after Ken Jennings’ earlier piece and his announcement that he would be out for “months.”
He was indeed not exaggerating, because it is the eighth week in a row for the actress and he is set to return on July 18 per TV listing.
This evening, Yungsheng Wang — a public defender in Los Angeles, California — was unable to defend his title and lost his fourth game in a shocking finish.
But fans complained because he symbolically scored points with quite the wild streak – of fashion.
Yungsheng got off to a solid start, leading after the first 15 clues.
However, new entrant Brian Ahern came to play and took down a $4,600 True Daily Double.
Entering Final Jeopardy, Yungsheng still had a huge lead with $22K, but he had no idea of the correct answer: “Sherlock Holmes.”
Brian had $13,400, but bet everything in a shocking way – answered correctly and won.
FASHION WIN
However, many fans loved Yungsheng for his excited reactions to his first three wins – and a consistent choice of clothing.
He wore bow ties for all four of his games.
He matched them with silver-grey suits and went with a checkered option during his last match tonight.
“I’m going to miss Yungsheng and his clothes from the Brad Rutter collection,” one fan wrote on YouTube.
“Damn I was really rooting for our returning champion,” wrote another.
The final hosting decision is still on the board and should be sealed by the end of Season 38 this month.
Between them, fans largely prefer the alum after a season of shared hosting as games run smoother under him.
He famously won the most competitions ever in 2004 – 74 in a row – and to many he seems like the natural successor to Alex Trebek connected with the deceased legend.
Many noticed that there was previously a blank slate for TV listings for this week’s host – but now it’s rumored that Ken is returning for the last two weeks of season 38 or July 18 instead.
