The famous American game show Jeopardy! will return with a new episode on Friday, May 3, 2024, completing what has been a whirlwind of a week. It started with a dominant streak by Amy Hummel and saw a new winner in mid-week. It is safe to say that the show is completely back in its element after having a rather dismal start to its 40th season because of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Thankfully, the game show is back with new contestants and renewed vigor.
In the upcoming round of the game show, two-day champion Weckiai Rannila, an engineer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, will play her third game against the two new contestants, Deana Krumhansl, an attorney originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, and Henry Lindstrom, a customer experience lead originally from Altadena, California.
It is always hard to predict which way Jeopardy! goes, especially in the final round, which plays a decisive part in who goes and who stays, but Weckiai Rannila makes a solid case with $28,000 in her two days in the show.

Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in American television history. It began in the early 1960s and has since aired 40 seasons.
