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 managed to hold on to its appeal for decades. This is primarily because of the game show's defining traits, its offbeat format and engaging nature, things that have consistently been its primary crowd-pullers.
