Another episode of Jeopardy! will be available on Thursday, July 25, 2024. The ongoing 40th season of Jeopardy! is in its last week of regular play and has been a rollercoaster ride. The 40th season was initially delayed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year. However, it has resumed with a bang and witnessed some remarkable runs of play in the last few months.
The last game saw the run of software engineer Neilesh Vinjamuri come to an end; however, another player, Davey Morrison, will feature on the upcoming episode of the show to continue his run. Davey Morrison, an actor & screenwriter from Provo, Utah, might make it to the last regular game day on Friday if he can continue his winning streak in the upcoming episode.
The final round of the game features quirky and offbeat elements, which makes it exciting for the crowd. The game show also allows viewers to participate in guessing the answer to the final question of the day ahead of the airing of the episode. Over the years, the show has engaged viewers by letting them be a part of the game.

Jeopardy! final solution: Thursday, July 25, 2024
The clue and solution to the upcoming round's final question read as follows:
Clue: Adding to her nickname, one legend claimed that earlier in life, she was saved from drowning by family friend Mark Twain.
Solution: (The Unsinkable) Molly Brown.
Numerous misconceptions, many of which were invented by Denver reporter Gene Fowler, surround the myth of Margaret "Molly" Brown, according to the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado. Some, meanwhile, were drawn from an exaggerated death notice, such as the claim that the famous author Mark Twain had prevented her from drowning.
Brown declined to put an end to the tall tales that were published about her while she was alive. She stated she would "rather that the papers say something about me than nothing at all."
