Jeopardy! is all set to return with a brand-new episode from its ongoing 41st season on October 2, 2024. The game show is currently in full swing as it navigates past plenty of new and exciting contestants, some of whom have also delivered some standout performances.
However, we have yet to see a contestant with a commendable run that stretches beyond three games. Our latest winner has already bagged two wins and if things go right, he could be the one to break the deadlock this season.
In the upcoming episode of the game show, Ryan Manton, a systems administrator from Columbus, Ohio, will face off against Scott Tcheng, an ER doctor from San Francisco, California, and Erin Ward, a software developer originally from London, Ontario, Canada. Ryan Manton has shown remarkable grit in his first two games, which has earned him $43,778. If he continues this, he will go on to increase his streak significantly.
