DANGER! stumbled on social media, accidentally dropping a snippet of Tuesday’s game a day early on Monday night, as discovered by The US Sun.
The YouTube clip revealed the scores throughout Double Jeopardy!, with defending three-day champion Alison Betts fighting for her fourth win.

Danger! shares game highlights and Final Jeopardy clip each night after the episode airs since the game show is not airing.
Alison scored an impressive win of $35,800 with a combined total of $97,500 over three days.
However, the show released a clip highlighting the upcoming game, which has yet to air, and a category titled “Say it in Spanish.”
The writer and creative executive from San Jose, California, was seen facing off against tonight’s players, Eric Reimund, a substitute teacher from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, and Veronica Tabor, a study abroad consultant from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Going into Double Jeopardy, Alison led with $9,600, Veronica $1,200 and Eric $4,800.
New challenger Eric managed a Daily Double, but was unable to answer Burrito Sabanero in time, as Ken Jennings lamented that only he made it to the first half of the answer.
This got Eric down to $2,000, but at the end of the clip and into Final Jeopardy, he was back to $10,400, Alison was still leading with $11,600 and Veronica -$600, so she won’t be playing Final Jeopardy.
Because the “Say it in Spanish” category aired out of sequence, the clip inadvertently spoiled most of the results of the second round of tonight’s game.
The video was quickly taken down approximately an hour after its premature upload, around 8:50 p.m. ET.
‘TOMORROW’S SHOW!’
Danger! promptly replaced the wrong clip with the correct highlights, but the slip-up didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans before it was yanked from the platform.
“There’s no way you guys actually uploaded a clip from tomorrow’s show LOL,” a confused fan commented below the clip.
Luckily, the clip didn’t spoil if Alison won her fourth game tonight, which would qualify her for the 2025 Tournament of Champions.
‘NOT CORRECT-NOT CORRECT’
Alison notched her third win in a row during Monday’s episode, following a rare on-air snag from host Ken that surprised fans.
In the middle of Jeopardy! round, things hit a snag in a $400 video clue in “Places That Are Also First Names.”
The footage showed an Italian monument in a town square, and Ken, 49, read: “A bust of the fight-loving Rensissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini graces the Ponte Vecchio in this city.”
Alison responded confidently, “What is Venice?” prompting Ken to initially confirm, “That’s the city.”
However, as Alison began to select the next clue, Ken abruptly interrupted, exclaiming, “I’m sorry, that’s not correct – that’s not correct!”
His opponent, Joshua, then came up with the correct answer, “Florence.”
One Redditor wrote: “A rare mistake by Ken! I wonder why he said Venice was correct initially?”
“Ooh, Ken made a mistake. I think he’s fallible,” joked another.
“Wow. Have we seen a host fix like this before?” wrote a third.
Regardless, viewers are left dazzled by Alison’s powerful game. She hit all three Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy, making it her first back-to-back of the season since the show returned to regular games after a flurry of tournaments.
“Damn! Allison was VERY close to the elusive $100,000 in 3 days,” one fan commented on Reddit.
“Alison is a great competitor. She’s sharp, has a great TV personality, is incredibly likable, and plays with good strategy without going full Holzhauer. I hope she sticks around for a while,” wrote another.

GOD OF HEAVEN
During the summer, Jeopardy! apparently tried to downplay his highly contested Biblical 2022 Tournament of Champions clue.
Amy Schneider, 42, won the $250,000 tournament against Andrew He and joke-telling professor Sam Buttrey.
But the third game of the finals provoked a backlash of biblical proportions when it first aired.
The New Testament’s Final Risk entered into widely disputed territory, and many said it “robbed” Sam of victory at the time.
Danger! uploaded the clip of each Final Jeopardy tournament to its official YouTube page each night during reruns.
The infamous Final Jeopardy question aired again as part of summer reruns, but cryptically was never posted to the show’s YouTube page, The US Sun spotted at the time.
In the “The New Testament” category, the question said: “Paul’s letter to them is the New Testament epistle with the greatest number of quotations from the Old Testament.”
Professor Sam led with $14,800, Andrew with $13,200 and Amy with $2,400.
Amy got it right, according to Ken, with “Who are The Hebrews.”
Ken decided, “Yes, Jewish followers of Christianity, so of course Paul quoted the Old Testament.”
Sam revealed that he wrote “Who are the Romans” – this alternative was not accepted.
Ken – who is Mormon – groaned “Oh, he wrote to the Romans” and denied Sam a match point he would have gotten otherwise.
Andrew didn’t have the correct answer with “Philippians,” but he had enough gains to win after the new scores were shown.
After 24 hours since the episode re-aired, the game show has not shared the clip and instead shared other highlights from YouTube.
It was clear that Jeopardy! was failing to share the clip again.
The problem with the clue is that the topic is still the subject of much discussion among Bible scholars.
Religious researchers have shared different perspectives on whether Paul wrote the letter to the Hebrews, while scholars generally agree that he wrote the Letter to the Romans, Buttrey’s response.
Despite not uploading the clip to YouTube, fans still received PO nearly a year after it first aired.
“Sam should have won. There is no conclusive evidence that Paul wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews,” one person tweeted.
“Danger is wrong!! Sam Buttery responded correctly in the end, naming Romans as the book Paul wrote with the most Old Testament quotes! Give Sam his victory back!” wrote another.
“Anyone going to talk about how @Jeopardy criticized this one?” wrote a third.
A fourth wrote: “Hey! The authorship of Hebrews is hazy at best. It could have been Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, or someone else. You need to redo the Tournament of Champions final! I love you, but damn… “
