Well, Jeopardy is in its 39th season of syndication which has been airing since 1984. It is now hosted by Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik after the death of veteran host Alex Trebek in 2020.
There, contestants are given general knowledge clues in the form of answers and they must identify the person, place, thing, or idea that the clue describes, phrasing each response in the form of a question.
In the new Jeopardy episode, she will face two contestants; the previous episode winner Kate Campolieta, a Corporate Communications Specialist from Simsbury, Connecticut, and Aubrey Gilleran, a High School English Teacher from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kate emerged as a new champion on her debut on the 4 July episode. She began leading in the first round with a huge difference from two other contestants. As no one gave the correct answer in the final round, she ended up as a winner scoring the most, $11,513.
