Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on December 12, 2023, bringing back the iconic Fall 2023 Champions Wildcard competition, which is nearly at the end of its run. The Diamonds bracket of the competition, which is the fourth out of four brackets in the contest, is entering its semi-final round today, meaning that it will be a lot more exciting for fans.
One of the three contestants today will play the final round of the contest, and will potentially have a chance of going to the Tournament of Champions. For others, this will be the end of the road.
In the upcoming round of the game show, Gary Hollis will face off against Julia Markham Cameron and Henry Baer. All three contestants have done considerably well in their previous appearances, and it would be hard to predict a winner today.
Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the history of American television.
