Today’s Final Jeopardy! answer: Monday, June 5, 2023

Jeopardy! will return with an all-new episode on Monday, June 5, 2023. The start of the new week will also mark the return of Jared Watson, who impressively won his second game on Friday. After the recent successes of Ben Chan and Hannah Wilson, fans can expect other champions to also do well, something that has been missing from the 39th season of the show for some time.

In the upcoming episode of the game show, Jared Watson will face off against Harrison Seidel and Annabelle Winter. In his first two days in the game show, Watson has earned a remarkable $38,601. He will surely aim to go higher this week, should he stay in the contest for long.

Its appeal primarily comes from its offbeat nature and engaging format. This is also aided by an offbeat final round, which is regarded by many as the main reason for its rising popularity.
