Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Friday, September 13, 2024, bringing back another exciting episode from the game show's 41st season. This will also mark the end of the first week of the new season, which has already been quite dramatic. The game show has picked up some good pace within the very first week of its start and has also seen a two-day champion, though he will not be returning today after a loss in the previous game.

In the upcoming round of the game show, Mark Palmere, an energy analyst from Sacramento, California, will face off against Evan Suttell, a nonprofit program assistant originally from Lakewood, Ohio, and Hilary Glazer, a freelance writer/editor from Charleston, West Virginia. Palmere opened his winning streak with $16,199 on his first day. This seems like an interesting place to start and things may get better for him if he manages to win again today.

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 since then continued to accumulate fans across the world with its offbeat format and engaging nature, things that have now become a signature in the game show's appeal. Moreover, it also has a very fascinating final round, which adds immensely to its popularity.

The final round of the game show has many elements that make it stand out. This includes its ability to allow viewer participation. Viewers can participate in the game show by guessing the final question's answer ahead of the episode's air time. Over the years, this has become a common practice for the fans of the game show. However, as this is still a tedious process, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below. Scroll on.

question

The final question for the upcoming round of the game show reads:

"A sir since 2018, he contracted TB as a teen in 1953 & spent years in a sanatorium, where he learned to play the drums."

This question is from the category "British Knights." Though rooted in history, this is quite an offbeat topic that has not appeared very frequently in the game show before. It should be an interesting watch.

The final round of the game show has another unique feature that makes it stand out. In this round, participants are provided with the solution and they have to figure out the question.
