Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Friday, June 16, 2023, featuring an all-new champion. It has been only a day since Suresh Krishnan's promising streak came to an end, much to the disappointment of the fans, who were hoping to see a miracle streak. This is in sharp contrast to the previous season of the show, which saw contestants constantly outperforming each other with some great streaks. The upcoming episode will mark the second game for returning champion Suzanne Goldlust.

In the upcoming episode of the popular American game show, Suzanne Goldlust, a Marketing Manager from Reston, Virginia, will defend her streak against Ben Goldstein, a Content Marketing Strategist from Dexter, Michigan, and Erica Rapheal, an Epidemiologist from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Goldust managed to win an impressive $18,700 on her first day in the show, which is more than what most people have won in recent weeks. She will look forward to extending it in the upcoming episode.

Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most prominent game shows of all time. It began in the early 1960s and has since then continued to garner attention worldwide, owing to its offbeat format and engaging nature. It has effectively created a loyal fanbase that follows the show throughout the year. The final round of the game show is also a defining factor in its groundbreaking popularity.

The final round of Jeopardy! is often credited as one of its most engaging and crowd-pulling aspects. This is because the final round not only boasts a series of interesting twists on classic game shows but also allows viewers to participate from the comfort of their respective homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's air time. Over the years, this has become a common practice for the fans of the show.

However, this can still be quite a complicated process. To ease this, we have compiled all the relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
