Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Monday, January 6, 2025, bringing back another exciting episode from the game show's 41st season. With the first Monday of the new year, we will see the second week of Winter 2025's Second Chance competition. The past week's games were good enough to indicate that more exciting things are on the way. This round, too, will see three veteran contestants from the past of the game show.
In the upcoming round of Jeopardy!, Jonquil Garrick-Reynolds, a theatrical wardrobe technician from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, will play against Steve Miller, a retired medical transcriptionist from Eugene, Oregon, and Drew Goins, a journalist from Honolulu, Hawai'i. All three contestants have achieved significant things in their original runs, with Jonquil Garrick-Reynolds nearly having defeated Drew Basille during his original appearance. It is hard to predict anything about this round from before.
Jeopardy!, one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the history of American television, began airing in the early 1960s. It has since then continued to evolve drastically to become one of the most famous shows all around the globe, often earning its place in popular culture as well. The primary reason for this is the game show's offbeat nature and unconventional format, which have made sure that it stands out from the crowd. Moreover, the show's final round also plays a key part in this.
