Jeopardy! is all set to return with a brand-new episode on Friday, May 17, 2024, bringing to close another exciting week of ups and downs and lots of trivia fun. The 40th season may not have had the greatest start due to the WGA strike that was still going when the season premiered, but it has now picked up pace. Yet, fans are still waiting for a champion who manages to hold on to the streak for much longer. The present champion does show signs of greatness, but it is still too early to predict whether he will continue to astonish viewers.
In the upcoming round of the game show, reigning champion Grant DeYoung, a grocery clerk from Prescott, Arizona, will play his third game against newcomers Nick Coombs, an auctioneer from Chicago, Illinois, and Rachel Shelton, an attorney from Lexington, Kentucky. Grant DeYoung's two-day reign in the show has gone beautifully, with the player picking up an impressive $46,401 in just two games. Grant should cruise to victory in the upcoming game with these stats, but this show is all about unpredictability.
