Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, bringing back another exciting round of the Winter 2024 Champions Wildcard Competition. This increasingly exciting contest has reached one of its peak points, with the next episode ready to air the third and last semi-final of this round. This also means that we are days away from the Tournament of Champions, which is one of the most anticipated events in the game show all year.
In the upcoming round, Kat Jepson, an artist from Roanoke, Virginia, will face off against Alex Gordon, a surgical resident originally from Somers, New York, and Jesse Matheny, a customer success specialist originally from Huntington, Indiana. This round means a lot more because this will see the last contestant enter the finale of a long-drawn competition. The three are also very well-matched, making it an exciting round.
Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the history of American television. Its long history traces back to 1964, when it first aired. Though it has had its breaks in between, the show has run for over 40 years now.
