JEOPARDY! co-host Mayim Mialik has shown off her fresh face in a no-makeup selfie ahead of her hosting return.
The actress shared the unedited pic on as she prepared to return to the podium.
Mayim posted the raw, up-close shot with her brunette hair in loose waves.
She donned a green sweatshirt and brown, wide-framed glasses while holding a wad of rolled-up papers - appearing to be material for the evening's show.
The 46-year-old simply captioned the pic: "Good morning," with a smiley face emoji.
Fans of the Big Bang Theory alum praised Mayim for her role on the game show.

One person commended the star, "I’m so happy that you’re back on jeopardy!"
And others theorized that the game show host was currently filming an episode of the show.
They wrote: "good morning lemme guess, ur shooting jeopardy right now?" while another had the same thoughts, asking: "jeopardy?" with a slew of heart-eyed emojis.
Mayim has shared her hosting duties with former contestant, Ken Jennings, filling the shoes of the legendary host, Alex Trebek, who passed away in 2020.

Loyal fans are divided on who they want as the show's permanent host, as both Mayim and Ken have received mixed reviews on their performances.
MISSING KEN
After Mayim resumed her hosting duties on Monday night following a run from Ken, many took to Twitter to voice their feelings about the Blossom star.
One complained: "I feel like Mayim brings the pace of the game down so much."
Another raged: "'l'll be watching something else this week. Mayim Bialik is hosting."
Viewers were not only sad to be without Ken, but also former champion Mattea Roach, whose 23-game winning streak came to an end last week.
"What's worse than Mattea losing? Seeing that Mayim is the host tonight. Time to change the channel", wrote one disgruntled fan.
Another complained: "Ken Jennings, Jeopardy! needs you back full time, all the time, and ONLY you."
Many hardcore fans of the game show were disappointed over the weekend as Ken announced he was taking a hiatus as host.
TAKING A HIATUS
Addressing his 490k followers on Twitter and millions of Jeopardy! fans around the world, the Washington native announced: “I'm handing the keys back to the talented actor-producer-writer-director (!) Mayim Bialik for a few months.”
He sang his costar praises as he continued: “We are lucky to have her!
“Thanks for watching, and I'll be back before the end of the season.”
However, Ken’s followers were not happy to hear that he would be away from their screens.
One wrote: “For a few months? Guess I won't be watching for that long, then.”
Another added: “You will be so missed, Ken! You just need to be the permanent host! Why is this not obvious to the powers that be?"
A third chimed in: “No! No Ken... I guess I can skip Jeopardy! for awhile," while one said, "... A couple of months is way too long!"
