Currently 38 seasons old, the game show dates back to the 1960s. Engaging, offbeat and a treasure trove of trivia, the show is a top pick for many.

The final question is another reason for the show's soaring popularity because it allows the audience to participate alongside the contestants. The viewing experience is considerably enhanced because of this interactive aspect.

The current season of Jeopardy! will go down in history as one of the greatest because of its brilliant contestants. Matt Amodio and Amy Schneider are two of the most successful contestants in the game ever, and they created legendary streaks.

Presently, Toronto-based tutor Mattea Roach is also in the process of creating a record. As the running 15th day champion, she has already gained the title of being the first Canadian citizen to accomplish this feat. She is also the 13th contestant in the history of the game to cross a 10-day streak.

The final round of the game show holds a lot of value because contestants can either choose to play it safe and bow out with the amount they have already won, or risk it all to increase the winnings. Contestants can continue their streak by winning by the final round.
