I can’t see any problems here. It’s not like there’s a famous novel about why this is a terrible idea or a movie about it with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.

I don’t know about insanity, but there are and have been plenty of smart people who also have some very weird ideas. Linus Pauling thinks vitamin C is a panacea. Bobby Fischer believes in antisemitic conspiracy theories. Garry Kasparov thinks history is wrong and has come up with his own timeline of history. Nikola Tesla was terrified of women with pearl earrings and talked to pigeons. Yukio Mishima thought he could restore imperial Japan, something the emperor himself didn’t want. Mayim Bialik is just fucking nuts.
I was surprised after reading your comment that Blossom hosted jeopardy for a while and had a new show. What crazy has she done? Searching her name got me pretty anodyne results about Sony going another direction and her coworkers being surprised she was fired.
Here you go. She has a bunch of nutty beliefs, including making some antivax statements and claiming birth control pills are dangerous.

It’s crazy all of that was before the jeopardy job.
They did a terrible job of vetting her. Replacing the late Alex Trebek with an antivaxxer in the middle of fucking COVID?
