“There's a lighthouse at this national seashore that's north of San Francisco,” host Ken Jennings read as the screen flashed a short panoramic video of the famed Point Reyes Lighthouse. While some Californian viewers might have shouted the answer from their sofas, the three contestants stood blankly until the time ran out. “It's called Point Reyes,” Jennings explained before the contestants moved on to the next clue.

"The run is over," says Ding. "All good things come to an end. I think we put together some great television."

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.

Starting this fall, new episodes of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! will stream on Peacock and Hulu the day after airing on local TV stations.

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.
