On March 1, 2023, Jeopardy! will kick off the new month with an all-new episode that will bring back the coveted High School Reunion Tournament.

To this point, the new season's shining moment has been the brilliant tournament, as no player has made headlines with impressive streaks. This is a stark contrast to the 38th season, which will go down as one of the best in the show's history. The new episode will feature the eighth quarterfinal of the tournament.

In the upcoming episode of Jeopardy!, Tim Cho, a senior at Columbia University from Champaign, Illinois, Dan Oxman, a senior at the University of Maryland from South Orange, New Jersey, and Eesha Sohail, a UCLA graduate from Bakersfield, California, will face off in a bid to proceed to the next round.

This year's High School Reunion Tournament has no wildcards or re-entries, making the competition all the more difficult for the participants.

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. However, as that can often be a tedious task, we have compiled every relevant detail, including the solution to the final question for the upcoming round below.
