Jeopardy! is all set to return for a new week in its 40th season, which is set to conclude later this month. This episode will see the return of Isaac Hirsch, who has been the first champion since Drew Basile, who had a fascinating run just after Adriana Harmeyer, who was a record-breaker in this season. Hirsch will also try to leave a lasting legacy as this season slowly edges towards its end.
In the upcoming round, Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California, will play his fourth round against Karan Menon, a data scientist originally from Edison, New Jersey, and Stephanie Lewis, a project coordinator from Washington, D.C. Hirsch has played brilliantly up until now, winning $70,186 on his first three days on the game show. His winning pattern seems to suggest he will be here for the long run.
The final round of Jeopardy! is the most important reason behind its ever-growing popularity. This is because it allows viewers at home to participate by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's air time. Over the years, this has become a common practice for the fans of the game show.
