The upcoming round of Jeopardy! is all set to return on Monday, October 17, 2022. This week, the show is heading in a very unique direction, something that has remained unexplored in the long history of the game show. Termed the 2022 "post-season," the next episode will feature the first-ever Second Chance Tournament. In this unique tournament, 18 players have been invited back to compete for the final two slots in the much-coveted Tournament of Champions.
The upcoming episode will feature three new Second Chance Tournament players, user experience designer Cindy Zhang, community college history instructor Aaron Gulyas, and statistical research specialist Jessica Stephens. All of them have previously appeared and performed very well on Jeopardy! This will be a unique experience for viewers and participants alike.
Widely considered one of the greatest game shows of all time, Jeopardy! dates back to the early 1960s. Over the many years of its existence, it has become one of the most decorated game shows in the country and around the world. A lot of credit for this goes to the unique format and offbeat nature of the show. Additionally, the final round also provides some much-needed boost to the growing popularity of the show.
The final round of the show consists of many challenges that set it apart from the competition. But what makes it truly unique is that it allows viewers from around the world to be a part of the action from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's airtime. However, as that can often be a tedious task, we have compiled every relevant detail, including the solution to the final question for the upcoming round below.
