Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Thursday, May 16, 2024, bringing forth another exciting round of the offbeat game show, which is now in its 40th season. The last few weeks have finally seen some high-octane entertainment, thanks to the resumption of the normal game days.
This season began slower than usual because of the WGA strike, which was still going on when the season started. Thankfully, now we have it all, including a new champion. The trend of relatively short streaks is continuing.
The upcoming episode of the game show will feature the freshly crowned champion, Grant DeYoung, a grocery clerk from Prescott, Arizona, facing new competitors Chen Yan, a surgeon from Happy Valley, Oregon, and Elizabeth Brzozowski, a social studies teacher from Fishkill, New York.

Grant DeYoung had a very positive start to his campaign with $25,601 on his debut day. He edged out Will Stewart, who seemed to be on an invincible run, but also fell prey to the final round.
Jeopardy! is one of the most renowned game shows in the history of American television. It began airing in the early 1960s, following which, it has only grown in popularity over the 40 seasons it has yet aired. The show has also constantly increased fan following during this duration. This is primarily because of its offbeat nature and engaging format. Moreover, the final round also plays a key part in its growing popularity.
The final round of the game show has all the elements that make it stand out, including the ability to allow viewer participation. Viewers can do this 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 game show's fans. However, as this can still be a complicated process, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
