Jeopardy! is all set to return with an encore episode on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. The popular series concluded season 39 the previous week and will now air encore episodes from the packed 39th season for six weeks before returning with the pre-season formalities. The upcoming episode will see another slice from last October’s Second Chance Competition, which was one of the most interesting parts of the season, mainly because the season failed to see any competitor take on huge streaks like the 38th season.
In the upcoming episode of the game show, Erica Weiner-Amachi will face off against Tracy Pitzel and Molly Karol. Those who do not remember who took home this episode's crown will have some fun rediscovering it as this was one of the most tightly-paced Second Chance Competition episodes.
Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the world. Kicking off in the early 1960s, the game show has evolved through generations to become one of the most popular shows in America. A primary part of the appeal comes from the engaging nature and offbeat format of the game show, things that have become a staple over the years. Moreover, it is also renowned for the offbeat final round.
The final round of Jeopardy! is widely known for adding a lot of appeal to the game show. The final round not only has a set of intriguing elements for the contestants, but it also has something special for the viewers.

Over the years, this has become a common practice for fans of the game show.
