A familiar face joined the "Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions" on Monday night. "Abbott Elementary" star Lisa Ann Walter got her chance to play after winning "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in 2024. Walter couldn't participate in the tournament last year due to the writer's strike and scheduling conflicts. But it was an incorrect question that may get her into some trouble with her adopted city of Philadelphia. The answer was: "In the 18th century, it was America's biggest port, trading for linen and tea; Later it traded for Steve Carlton & Roy Halladay."

By then the preparations for a future televised Jeopardy! contest with IBM's creation were well underway, but this was the first time Trebek would encounter the technology in person, and his approval was crucial. Ferrucci was eager to show off one element in particular: the display, which had been rigged to show Watson's top three guesses whenever it answered, along with the numerical confidence rate it had in each one.

The June 26 episode of Jeopardy! witnessed Rocco Graziano, a dedicated educator, triumphing unexpectedly with strategic gameplay despite a challenging Final Jeopardy clue.

During Monday's episode of "Jeopardy!" a clue read: "It's something many use every day to unlock things online & the nickname of Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon Garcia."

"Griffin's first choice was 'What's the Question?' and how the long-running NBC show's name came to be is quite the story."

"Seriously, that's Sheldon!!!!!!!" a fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, demonstrating how viewers were captivated by Starnes' resemblance to the character.
