Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament 2023: Release date, contestants, and more details explored

Over the years, Jeopardy! has introduced several tournaments alongside its regular game show. On Monday, the Emmy-winning series announced a new competition titled High School Reunion Tournament, which will air in February 2023.

The upcoming tournament will welcome 27 former teen contestants to compete for a $100,000 cash prize. The winner will advance to the Tournament of Champions 2023. Speaking about the high school competition, Jeopardy!’s executive producer Michael Davis said:

"We didn't want to lose that sort of college energy [this season]. We knew we had these 27 players who are all of college age who come from our existing Jeopardy! community, so this was a great opportunity to bring them back.”

While the host of the tournament has not yet been announced, fans can expect either Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings to take up this role.
