Jeopardy! is all set to return with a brand-new episode on Thursday, October 3, 2024, continuing the exciting season, which is in full swing now. Weeks back, the 41st season kicked off, and though we saw some exciting contestants, none truly came close to achieving greatness.
But that may be on the verge of changing. Over the past three days, we have seen the brilliant rise of Ryan Manton, who has now become the second three-day champion of the season. If he continues for at least one more day, he will become the best player of this season so far.
In the upcoming round of the game show, Ryan Manton, a systems administrator from Columbus, Ohio, will face off against Adam Stewart, a power engineer from Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada, and Emily Stowell-Bui, a children’s librarian from Charleston, South Carolina. With $67,379 already under his belt, Ryan Manton will hope to extend his streak further and set a record that would be remembered in the game show's illustrious history.
