In the past, fans have gotten a sneak peek at the upcoming Jeopardy contestants during the end credits.
However, one fan noticed that the producers quietly removed this feature.
“Why are the next day’s contestants no longer announced after the game?”. one fan questioned on a Jeopardy-themed Reddit forum.
They continued: “I noticed last night that they stopped announcing the players for the next episode during the end credits.”
WHY?
“That’s a good question,” one person responded.
Another wrote: “No one knows why.
“Perhaps due to Ben Chan’s absence incident in April 2023 where he was unable to return due to illness?”
At the time, Ben revealed that he was not on the program because he had Covid-19.
“More time for those cute commercials,” a third theorized.
BIG TURNOVER
ABC typically airs reruns throughout the summer until new episodes return in the fall.
The season 40 finale aired on July 26 and is on a six-week hiatus until the start of season 41 on September 6.
As the break began, Jeopardy social media accounts shared the rerun schedule.
During the first three weeks, fans will be able to rewatch the Tournament of Champions that aired earlier this year – won by Yogesh Raut.
Danger! Host timeline
Danger! has had a tumultuous history regarding hosts following the death of the iconic Alex Trebek in 2020. Here are every host since the game show’s inception in 1964.
Art Fleming – from 1964 to 1975, he was the original host of the daytime version of Jeopardy! on NBC.
Alex Trebek – From 1984 to 2020, the late, great Alex hosted the modern iteration of Jeopardy! for 36 years until his death from pancreatic cancer.
Guest Hosts – 2020 to 2021, Jeopardy! tested a series of guest hosts for one- or two-week stints, including Anderson Cooper, LaVar Burton and Aaron Rodgers.
Mike Richards – 2021, he was named host for a week before resigning amid controversy. He was the show’s executive producer at the time.
Mayim Bialik – 2021 to 2023, when Mike was announced as the show’s new host, Mayim was chosen to host tournaments and primetime specials.
Mayim and Ken Jennings – 2022 to 2023, 74-time champion Ken (the winningest contestant of all time) joined Mayim as guest host and they shared hosting duties.
Ken Jennings – 2023 to present. Last December, Mayim announced on Instagram that she would “no longer” host Jeopardy! after a long hiatus, having defended the writers’ strike, and Ken was named sole host.
Ken now runs all editions of Jeopardy! including Celebrity Jeopardy!, the late night show and other primetime specials such as Masters.
Starting the week of August 19th, viewers will be able to watch the inaugural Invitational Tournament – won by Victoria Groce.
‘NO MORE TOURNAMENT EPISODES!’
However, fans were upset that ToC would not be shown in full and would rather rewatch the best episodes of the season.
“I wish they would replay really old episodes during this period,” one wrote.
Another added: “They won’t repeat the first three TOC games, which includes Cris Pannullo’s comeback.”
A third wrote: “No more tournament episodes!!!!
“The ongoing string of tournaments that apparently lasted years and ended a few months ago has left a bitter taste in my mouth.”
Jeopardy season 41 is scheduled to air until July 2025.
