Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the history of American television. It began airing in the early 1960s and has continuously evolved to become one of the biggest in its field. The game show's appeal primarily stems from its offbeat format and engaging nature, which have become a source of much wonder to fans worldwide. Moreover, the final round of the game show also plays a key role in this.

The final round of Jeopardy! has been one of its most effective crowd-pullers over the years. This is because the final round allows viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can participate by guessing the final question's answer ahead of the episode's air time. Over the years, this has become a common practice for game show fans.
