This upcoming episode will mark the beginning of the second week of the new season, which has been good so far. As is expected from the early days of the game show, we are seeing new contestants and a constant shuffling almost every day. The upcoming episode will feature another new champion defending his spot.

In the upcoming round of the game show, Evan Suttell, a nonprofit program assistant originally from Lakewood, Ohio, who won his previous game, will face off against Sam Watson, a pharmacy software salesman from Westwood, Missouri, and Aiden Orzech, a teacher from Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.

Jeopardy! started airing more than six decades ago and has garnered an audience globally as one of the most competitive game shows in TV history. The final round of the game show has intriguing elements, including viewer participation. Viewers can be part of the game by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's air time from the comfort of their homes.

However, as this can still be challenging, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.


September 16, 2024, Monday: Today's Final Jeopardy! question

The final question for the upcoming round of the game show reads:

"A 1976 report initiated by Admiral Rickover found it was an internal, not external, explosion that caused the destruction of this."

This question is from the category "History." History is a common and recurring topic for the game show, so it should not surprise anyone.

In the final round of the game show, the competitors have a solution to a question and are tasked to curate a question for the solution. This adds to the intrigue of the round.
