Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, bringing back another exciting episode from the 40th season. After a whirlwind of a month that saw contestants like Drew Basile and Adriana Harmeyer practically dismantling everyone in their paths, we finally seem to have found a bit of normalcy in the last couple of days. In the upcoming episode, another new contestant will try to become the latest high-achiever.
The upcoming episode of Jeopardy! will feature two new contestants, Chris Nichols, a mechanical engineer from Lawrenceville, Georgia, and Kelly Proulx, a non-profit communications director from Billerica, Massachusetts. They will be playing returning champion Matt Brooks, a healthcare IT analyst from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Brooks put up an impressive performance in last night's game, which also won him $10,600 on the very first day. He will definitely hope to make much more before departing the stage.
