The upcoming episode of the popular American game show Jeopardy! is all set to return with a brand-new episode on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

This episode will mark the return of Kendra Westerhaus, who has shown every quality of a long-term champion during her two days on the show. Given the nature of problems generally associated with long-lasting streaks, this season has been quite different from the previous one, which saw outstanding performers like Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, and Amy Schneider.

In the upcoming episode, two-day champion Kendra Westerhaus will face off against Stephen Webb and Jason Carpenter. Even though it is not the greatest tally, Kendra Westerhaus has earned a respectable $47,201 in her two days. She has also maintained a rock-solid stance on the platform, making her an obvious participant to root for.

Jeopardy! is arguably the most popular American game show in the world. Running for over half a century, Jeopardy! began airing in 1964 and has continued its reign well into the present day. In fact, it is more popular now than it ever was in the past. Apart from clever marketing strategies, this is largely due to the interesting format and engaging nature of the game show.

While the entire game show is known for its offbeat nature, the final round is especially unique since it involves viewer participation. Viewers can participate in the final round from the comfort of their homes by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's airtime.

However, as this can often be a cumbersome task, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
