Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Thursday, April 13, 2023, with an all-new episode and champion. This has been the trend this season, which has seen multiple champions failing to make an impact with their streaks, as opposed to the previous season, which saw several contestants create historical streaks across the season.

In the previous episode, another one-day champion failed to make the cut, paving the way for Ben Chan, who will start his journey today. The freshly crowned champion will face off against Peter Early and Liz Jensen. Ben Chan earned a modest $16,001 on his first day, which is nothing exceptional but isn't a small amount for a first-day win.

Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows in the world. It started out in the early 1960s and has managed to build a long-lasting reputation that has endured the test of time. Its engaging nature and offbeat format have become synonymous with the game show's popularity. Moreover, it has a unique final round, which can be considered the primary reason for the relevance of the show in the present day.

The final round of Jeopardy! has a lot of things that make it stand out. Apart from the mild twists that make things very interesting, the final round also boasts a feature that allows viewers to participate 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.

Over the years, this has become a cult practice for fans of the show. However, as this can often be a complicated procedure, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
