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 since then continued to evolve drastically to become a fan favorite across the globe. A large part of this game's generational appeal comes from its offbeat format and engaging nature, elements that have become the foundation of the show. Moreover, the final round of the game show also plays a huge part in this ever-growing popularity.
