Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Friday, April 18, 2025, bringing forth another exciting episode from the famous game show's 41st season. After days of dominance, Andrew Hayes finally falls to Steven Hoying, who convincingly won the previous game. He will begin his streak today, and if he manages to hold up like in yesterday's game, he, too, will go a long way in the game show.
In the upcoming round of the game show, Steven Hoying, an attorney-at-law from Hilliard, Ohio, will play his second game against newcomers Rachael Gray, a graduate student from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and Liam Starnes, an undergraduate student from Barrington, Illinois. Steven Hoying has already won $29,403 in his first win, and he looks forward to adding more in the coming days.

The final round has many elements that make it more challenging for contestants and allow viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the question presented in the final round ahead of the episode's airtime.
