Jeopardys

Jeopardy! is a popular American television game show created by Merv Griffin and syndicated by the American television network CBS. It premiered on October 2, 1964, and has since become a cultural icon. The show is hosted by Alex Trebek from 1984 until his death in 2020, and Ken Jennings from 2021 to the present.

In Jeopardy!, contestants answer trivia questions in a fast-paced format. The game is structured around a 6x6 grid of clues, with categories and point values displayed at the top and side of the grid, respectively. Contestants are given a buzzer to indicate their intention to answer a question. The first contestant to press the buzzer and correctly respond to the question wins the points for that clue. If a contestant answers incorrectly, they lose the points for that clue, and the correct answer is revealed.

The show features a variety of categories, including history, literature, science, and pop culture. Questions range from general knowledge to obscure trivia, challenging contestants to think quickly and accurately. The game is divided into two rounds: the first round, known as "Single Jeopardy," and the second round, called "Double Jeopardy." In the final round, contestants face the "Final Jeopardy" category, where they must wager a portion of their total score to answer a single question.

Jeopardy! has produced numerous champions, including Ken Jennings, who won the record $3.05 million in a single game in 2004. The show has also inspired a variety of spin-offs and adaptations, including Jeopardy! Lab, a web series that explores the science behind the game, and Jeopardy! The Musical, a stage adaptation of the show. Jeopardy! continues to be a popular and influential game show, attracting millions of viewers and contestants each year.
