Jeopardy! is all set to air another encore episode on August 23, 2022, something that has been the norm since the conclusion of the brilliant 38th season. It saw juggernauts like Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach dazzle the game show world with their ferocious streaks.

The reruns are a way to fill the gap between the previous season and the upcoming one. These are a compilation of some of the season's greatest and most beloved episodes.

In the upcoming episode, Henry Rozycki will return for his second game. He will face off against school administrator Patrick Byrnett and piano teacher and church organist Christine Whelchel. This episode was highly rated.

Jeopardy! is one of the oldest game shows on television, originally starting in 1964. It has since then established a grip on game show viewers with its engaging and offbeat format.

This American game show is played between three contestants and relies heavily on trivia skills and general knowledge. The offbeat final round is also a big factor in the show's soaring popularity.

In the final round, participants face a number of complex challenges. It also allows viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer ahead of the episode's airtime.

However, this can often be a complicated process. To help this out, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.
