Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Monday, May 27, 2024, bringing back another exciting round of the 40th season of the popular American game show. This season has been quite a roller coaster ride, with the usual proceedings initially getting delayed by months due to the WGA strike. But since then, the game show has caught up to pace, and now fans are waiting to see a long streak from one of the contestants. This week's returning champion, Amar Kakirde, may prove to be one.
In the upcoming round of the game show, 3-day champion Amar Kakirde, a graduate student from Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey, will face off against Tim Keily, a search-and-rescue pilot from Sitka, Alaska, and Ryan Alcorn, a product manager originally from Needham, Massachusetts. Amar Kakirde has played an excellent hand with $41,399 from his three days. He has also played safely and looks like a favorite on the game show for at least another day.
