Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows of all time. It began airing in the early 1960s and has since then continued to captivate fans from around the world with its offbeat format and engaging nature, things that have naturally become a major part of the game show's structure. Moreover, the game show is also popular for its offbeat final round.
The final round has always been one of the most interesting parts of the contest. This is because the final round allows viewers to participate in the game to a certain degree.

Over the years, this has become a common practice for all the long-term fans of the game show.
However, as it can be a complicated process, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
