Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. After very low-scoring rounds in the previous week, one champion has finally managed to stay in the game for three consecutive days. This season of the show has seen exceptionally low streaks for almost all contestants. This is in sharp contrast to the previous season, which saw completely different performances.

Kevin Belle won the previous round and has made it to his third game in a row. In the upcoming round of the game show, Belle will face off against Paul Guelpa and Amanda Hendrickson. Kevin Belle has won $24,398 in his first two days and is looking forward to making more. Most fans also hope to see Kevin make it to few more rounds in the future.

Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows in the history of the country. It originally began in the early 1960s and has since then evolved into one of the biggest the world has ever seen. Its engaging nature and offbeat format have managed to make it a standout among competition shows. The final round of the game show is one of the primary reasons for its popularity.

Over the years, this has become a cult practice for fans of the game show. However, this can often be a complicated process. To ease this, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
