Jeopardy! will return with a new episode on Monday, January 13, 2025, bringing back another exciting episode from the game show's 41st season. On Friday, the Second Chance Competition of the year concluded and is now stepping into the opening game of Champions Wildcard, where 13 players who narrowly missed the Tournament of Champions will join the winners of Second Chance Competition, Will Yancey and Drew Goins, in this week's quarterfinals. This contest will continue for some time and hopefully yield exciting results.

In the upcoming round of the game show, Will Yancey, a history lecturer from Banquete, Texas, will face off against Paul Clauson, a tax analyst from Madison Heights, Michigan, and Jen Feldman, a high school teacher from Brooklyn, New York. As all three contestants are experienced and have done well before, it will be an interesting matchup.

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 remained one of the finest in its genre. This is primarily because of the game show's offbeat format and engaging nature, ensuring the game show continues to flourish and gain more viewers over the years.
