Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, with a brand-new episode from its ongoing 40th season. The game show has been going quite well in the last few weeks, with new contestants often showing their abilities in full flow. This season did start out slower than the previous ones, with the WGA strike still ongoing when it returned, but the show has now caught up to pace and is slowly entering the last few weeks of its normal game time.
In the upcoming episode of Jeopardy!, 4-day champion Amar Kakirde, a graduate student from Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey, will face off against Abby Mann, a digital scholarship librarian from Normal, Illinois, and Steve Miller, a retired medical transcriptionist from Eugene, Oregon.
While Kakirde's initial gameplay did not hint at this, he seems likely to become the 277th 5-time champion since 1984. He may even go on to have a very long streak. Kakirde has already won $55,899 in his four days and will hope to take home much more with his style and intensity of play.

Jeopardy! is considered one of the most famous game shows in the history of American television. It began airing in the early 1960s, and since then, has managed to air 40 seasons, each gaining more popularity than the previous. The primary reason for this rising popularity is the game show's offbeat format and engaging nature, which have become a signature of the game show.
