Today’s Final Jeopardy! answer: Thursday, March 23, 2023

Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Thursday, March 23, 2023, bringing back the brilliant Melissa Klapper, who managed to grab her third win yesterday, making her only the 14th one in this season to do so.

The 39th season has been relatively quiet, especially compared to the previous season, which saw many great streaks and champions breaking all boundaries. If Melissa manages to win today, she will become the 10th contestant of season 39 to reach a four-game streak.

In the upcoming episode of the game show, Melissa Klapper, a professor from Merion Station, Pennsylvania, will face off against Alec Chao, a management & program analyst from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Daisy Donohue, an actor & artist originally from St. Paul, Minnesota. The professor has already won $59,100 in her three days on the show, which is quite a good amount and she looks to make much more in the coming days.

Widely considered one of the greatest game shows of all time, Jeopardy! dates back to the early 1960s. Over the many years of its existence, it has become one of the most decorated game shows in the country and around the world. A lot of credit for this goes to the unique format and offbeat nature of the show. Additionally, the final round also provides some much-needed boost to its growing popularity.
