Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode, bringing a new champion along after a long, long time, on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. The new episode will feature the latest giant killer, Lloyd Sy, who managed to take down Ray Lalonde. Ray Lalonde, who could not break Cris Pannullo's streak, ended up being the 39th season's second-best player.
Lloyd Sy, a graduate student in literature originally from Rockford, Illinois, will compete against Francis Englert, a line cook from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, and Sarah Palmer, an executive assistant from Monterey, California, in the upcoming episode. Lloyd made an estimated $24,490 on his first day and now hopes to continue his winning streak. Lloyd is also the year's first new champion.
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.
The final round of the show consists of many challenges that set it apart from the competition. But what makes it truly unique is that it allows viewers from around the world to be a part of the action from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's airtime.
