Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Monday, February 17, 2025, bringing forth the first game of the 2nd Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament. In this tournament, we see 27 contestants from the various decades of the game show. This two-week event is also a part of the post-season festivities of this year's Jeopardy!. With the conclusion of the Tournament of Champions, this will add another layer of excitement to the game show.
In the upcoming round, Matt Amodio, a quantitative researcher from New York, New York, will face off against Hannah Wilson, a yarn store owner from Chicago, Illinois, and Doug Molitor, a novelist originally from Altadena, California. All three of the players have incredible resumes and have been important parts of the game show over the years. However, going into this round, Amodio perhaps has the best odds in his favor.
The final round has many intriguing elements to make it stand out from the rest. This includes the ability to allow viewers to participate in the game show.
