JEOPARDY! fans were left seeing Daily Double as Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik got close for the sweetest holiday card-style photos on Friday.
Fans love seeing the pair clown around, but many admitted they're not ready for Ken to switch out for the actress in just days.

Jeopardy! gifted fans with a sweet photobooth-style slideshow on their social media pages.
Set on a Christmas-light-twinkling backdrop, Mayim, 47, looked gorgeous in some TV makeup while sticking out her tongue, and nearly kissing Ken, 48.
The former winningest contestant of all time with 74 victories in 2004 (and $2.5M) stuck his tongue out too as the pair got to show off their playful side.
"Wishing you the happiest of holidays," the beloved game show captioned the precious post.

'KEN HE STAY?'
Speaking of sides, it wasn't long until some harsh fans expressed that after four months of only Ken-hosted episodes, they can't believe he's leaving starting in early January.
He recently helmed the biggest Tournament of Champions in the show's history as well as record runs like that of Cris Pannullo with aplomb - so some made it clear they don't want him to go.
One wrote on Facebook: "Dreading when Ken Jennings exits for a few months. He really is the best host."
To which another defended: "Why did you feel the need to spread your dread on a positive holiday post?"

"Ken, please don’t leave us. Mayim should just host Celebrity Jeopardy, and Ken should just host Real Jeopardy," begged a third.
"Ken's the best host by far!!!!" wrote a fourth.
However, a fifth flew the white flag and wrote: "Love, love, love this show! My very fave! Miss Alex, but Ken is doing a great job...even Mayim is growing on me."
An even Grinchier fan wrote: "Our one and only intellectual game show on TV and they have to stick out their tongues to debase the show to a different level."
To which someone replied: "Why I bet you're fun at a party."
'TWO' BAD FOR KEN FANS
Over the summer, Ken and actress Mayim were officially announced as the permanent replacements for the late, great Alex Trebek, who had hosted since 1984.
Alex tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer at age 80 in 2020 leaving huge shoes to fill and it took two scandal-filled years to officially fill them.
So while the one-size-fits-all decision was a happy compromise, even contestants have still made it clear that they simply prefer Ken - given his ties to the show that made him famous and how he's doing.
Amy Schneider said last month: "Ken in a landslide. No offense to Mayim, but Ken just *is* Jeopardy in a way that can't easily be replicated."
23-time winner Mattea Roach also said: "As a contestant, there is something really special about being onstage with the greatest player of all time," to Vulture.
Legendary player Pam Mueller, who was close with the late Alex and Ken, also exclusively told The U.S. Sun in September she didn't agree with the dual-host decision at all.
“I don’t think two hosts makes sense," the OG contestant said. "Ken should do the syndicated show and Mayim the prime-time tentpoles."
Starting in early January, Mayim is switching in for Ken and back to hosting Celebrity Jeopardy now on Thursdays, so that weeknight fans will get a 1.5 block of Bialik.

She is also set to host their first-ever High School Reunion Tournament airing in February - Ken will be off the board until the spring.
Mayim has also gotten more notes to improve on, as far as execs have said, but she's about to have plenty of time to Blossom.
