Jeopardy! is all set to return with another encore episode on Friday, August 18, 2023. The game show is continuing its coverage of the Tournament of Champions from the previous fall, which also happened to be the most exciting part of the previous season as it featured some of the best contestants from the 38th season, which remains one of Jeopardy!’s finest seasons. The upcoming episode will also feature a few incredible players and a tough question as things heat up in the Tournament of Champions.
Friday’s episode of the popular game show will feature Jackie Kelly, a pension calculation developer from Cary, North Carolina, Jaskaran Singh, a consultant from Plano, Texas, and Eric Ahasic, a meteorologist from Minneapolis, Minnesota. All three players had left their legacy behind in the 38th season, leaving fans to witness a great battle in this face-off. The winner from here will go on to play in the semi-finals.
Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most revered game shows in the history of America. It began airing in the early 1960s and has since then evolved gloriously over 39 seasons and thousands of episodes. The game show’s appeal crosses boundaries and age groups, having captivated generations of fans with its offbeat nature and engaging format.
