Today’s Final Jeopardy! answer: Monday, March 20, 2023

Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Monday, March 20, 2023, bringing in a new champion after the ultimate fall of Stephen Webb, who showed great promise and managed to win many games before losing out to Kelly Barry in the previous episode. Unfortunately, this season, like the previous one, has struggled to find another Mattea Roach or Amy Schneider. In any case, expectations for the new champion in the coming week will be high.

In the upcoming episode, Kelly Barry, a marketing communications specialist from Seattle, Washington, will face off against Melissa Klapper, a professor from Merion Station, Pennsylvania, and Jake Garrett, a football coach & teacher from Trussville, Alabama. Many would expect big things from Kelly, who managed to take down the in-form Stephen Webb. She has already earned a reported amount of $14,600 on her first day and will surely look to make much more of it in the coming days.

Jeopardy! is easily one of the most recognizable game shows in the world. It began back in the early 1960s and slowly made its way to the forefront of American television. With 39 seasons now, it is considered the most popular game show in America. This is largely due to the show's offbeat format and engaging nature, which set it apart from the competition. Besides that, the final round also plays a pivotal part in this process.

The final round of Jeopardy! is one of the most interesting things about the game show. It has many unique elements, but what stands out the most is the ability for viewer participation. Viewers can be a part of the game show by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's air time. This has become a cult practice over the many years of the show. However, it can still be quite a tedious process. That's where we come in.
