Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, bringing back another exciting round from the game show's 41st season, which is well into its second week now.
The game show returned last week after a six-week-long hiatus and is currently settling in for another fascinating season that will go on for the rest of the year. As is expected from the early days of the season, we are witnessing new winners and interesting players every day, but are yet to see the first long streak.
In the upcoming round of the game show, Aiden Orzech, a teacher from Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, who won the previous game, will face off against Alisa Kindsfater, an English teacher from Enola, Arkansas, and Will Yancey, a lecturer of history from Banquete, Texas.
Aiden Orzech had a positive beginning, winning an impressive $27,599 on his first day. The contestant will further try to break out of this carousel and increase his run to create a prominent streak.
