Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the world. It began airing in the early 1960s and has since then continued to evolve dramatically to become a global name.
This is primarily because of the game show's offbeat format and engaging nature, things that have now become a regular part of the show's appeal. Moreover, the final round of the game show is also one of its most important features.
