As Scott continues to win Jeopardy!

A Jeopardy! champion has broken a months-long curse, becoming the first winner to advance to the Tournament of Champions with five wins since Ben Ganger in May.

Up until this win, only five Jeopardy! season 41 contestants made it to the Tournament of Champions with five wins. They include Laura Faddah (8 wins), Andrew Hayes (6 wins), Liam Starnes (6 wins), Josh Weikert (6 wins), and Ben Ganger (5 wins). In addition, as the Celebrity Jeopardy! winner, W.

On Tuesday, Jason Singer won $22,401 on Jeopardy four years after his wife, Susan McMillan, claimed a $35,600 cash prize of her own. Several media outlets celebrated the couple as the show's first married champions. It turns out, they weren't.

Here's a brief explainer on how the sweet story turned sour.

How We Got Here

Before Singer's win, publications were touting the history-making potential. For example, a June 30 headline from People proclaimed: "Married Jeopardy! Contestants Hope to Be First Husband and Wife Winners: 'History Is at Stake'"

Then after his win, ABC's Good Morning America ran a segment on the couple with a slight caveat, stating on air, "The Jeopardy team is confirming that Jason and Susan may just be the first-ever already married Jeopardy champions." When George Stephanopoulos questioned the use of the word "may" in the statement, Lara Spencer responded that the game show doesn't do "deep dives into...

Jeopardy! fans are divided about new champion Klay Frappier's strategy after he won the June 27 episode of the game show. Jeopardy! winner Klay defeated returning champion Rocco Graziano and Michelle Arguelles in the game, earning $20,001. Now he'll have the chance to break the show's 11-day streak of one-day champions.

Jeopardy! fans are divided about new champion Klay Frappier's strategy after he won the June 27 episode of the game show.

In a Jeopardy! Reddit thread, fans were divided about Klay's top-down strategy for choosing questions in each category one at a time, rather than bouncing around to higher-level questions in multiple categories in order to confuse opponents and find the Daily Doubles. The latter strategy was first used by contestant Chuck Forrest, who made his Jeopardy! debut in 1985, so it's referred to as the Forrest Bounce.

One fan appreciated the way that Klay played, writing, "I'm so happy that Klay plays with the old fashioned top-down,...

This. Is. Jeopardy!

Merv Griffin's iconic American game show revolutionized the quiz format upon its debut in 1964. Unlike other programs in the genre, Jeopardy's contestants are presented with general knowledge clues in the form of answers and must respond in the form of questions. The show's original daytime run concluded in 1975, followed by a brief syndicated weekly edition and a revival, The All-New Jeopardy, in 1978-79. The modern-day syndicated version produced by Sony Pictures Television launched in 1984 and continues to air.

Art Fleming hosted all versions from 1964 to 1979, and Alex Trebek took the helm in 1984 until his death due to pancreatic cancer in 2020. Several guest hosts later filled the role, including former contestant Ken Jennings, actress Mayim Bialik, and series producer Mike Richards. Jennings became the permanent host in 2023.

Jennings is one of the biggest Jeopardy winners ever, both in terms of most consecutive games won (74), highest winnings in a regular season,...

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings' lifelong dream is to play Family Feud, and fans would love to see him compete on the long-running game show. Ken was named the official host of Jeopardy! in 2023, after Alex Trebek passed away in 2020. He was chosen after several other celebrities, including Mayim Bialik, were tested in the role. In 2004, Ken won 74 Jeopardy! games in a row, and his record has not yet been broken. For his next game show appearance, Ken will return to compete in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, with his teammate, actor Matt Damon.

Jeopardy! Masters season 3 champion Yogesh Raut revealed the one thing that he wouldn't do after he won, which he only realized was possible after James Holzhauer gave him some advice. During Jeopardy! Masters season 2, season 1 winner James came in third behind winner Victoria Groce and runner-up Yogesh. James declined his invitation for Jeopardy! Masters season 3, and was replaced by Brad Rutter, who holds the record for most Jeopardy! winnings. Yogesh emerged victorious during season 3, defeating runner-up Juveria Zaheer, and Victoria, who finished in third place.

Jeopardy! Masters season 3 champion Yogesh Raut revealed the one thing that he wouldn't do after he won, which he only realized was possible after James Holzhauer gave him some advice.

In a Facebook post, Yogesh revealed that James had given him some advice during Jeopardy! Masters season 2 that he carried with him into season 3. He said, "One of my favorite moments from last year's tournament...

Even though James Holzhauer wasn’t present for Season 3 of Jeopardy! Masters, he was still on a lot of people’s minds, including contestants’. Masters champion, Yogesh Raut, reveals he got some useful advice from previous Masters winner, Holzhauer, before entering the tournament. Raut spoke out about his experience on Masters on Facebook. Toward the end of his post, he shared his favorite moment from the 2024 tournament. “One of my favorite moments from last year’s tournament occurred when James was asked to pose at his podium while pointing at his (third-place) total and replied, ‘No.’ Standing nearby, I said, ‘Wait, you’re allowed to do that?’ and the photography team burst into laughter.” “It was then that James gave me a key piece of advice I haven’t really followed through on — ‘You need to get comfortable with throwing your ...

Now that his time on Jeopardy! Masters is over (for now), Yogesh Raut has divulged intriguing details about the game show that never made it to air, including an awkward exchange between him and host Ken Jennings. Yogesh's first Jeopardy! Masters appearance was in 2024 when he came in second to Victoria Groce but managed to beat James Holzhauer. Coming into Jeopardy! Masters season 3, speculation grew about whether Victoria could hold on to her title or if someone else would become the new champion. Yogesh won, and Victoria actually landed in third place, behind Juveria Zaheer.

Yogesh reflected on his Jeopardy! Masters experience, including revealing some moments that were cut from the show.

In a Facebook post, Yogesh reflected on his Jeopardy! Masters experience, including revealing some moments that were cut from the show. During his final pair of interviews, some comments he made about racism were removed during editing.

Many Jeopardy! Masters fans agree that the tournament lacked one thing this year — James Holzhauer. The season’s ratings took a nose dive compared to the last two when Holzhauer appeared on both. The 2025 tournament feaured 2024 Masters champion Victoria Groce, returning finalist Yogesh Raut, 2025 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner Neilesh Vinjamuri, Toc finalists Adriana Harmeyer and Isaac Hirsch, 2025 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament champion Matt Amodio, Jit finalists Roger Craig and Juveria Zaheer, and one of the biggest Jeopardy! winners of all-time Brad Rutter, who hadn’t been on the Alex Trebek stage since 2020. Holzhauer won Season 1, so he was invited back for Season 2. He was also in the top three on Season 2, so he was asked back for Season 3 but declined. During the April Live Jeopardy! Tour, the game show‘s bosses Michael Davies and Sarah Whitcomb-Foss shared that he was invited back, but said he was going to sit this one out.

Jeopardy! Masters season 3 finalist Isaac Hirsch, who placed fourth in the 2025 tournament, revealed whether he'll return to the show in the future after he exceeded his own expectations during the season. Isaac won $100,000 when he placed fourth in Jeopardy! Masters season 3 behind winner Yogesh Raut, runner-up Juveria Zaheer, and Victoria Groce, who placed third. Isaac had previously won ten regular Jeopardy! games in 2024, and later was a 2025 Tournament of Champions co-runner-up along with Jeopardy! Masters season 3 contestant Adriana Harmeyer, behind winner and fellow Masters contestant Neilesh Vinjamuri.

Yogesh Raut is excited after winning the latest Jeopardy! Masters tournament, and he's revealing how his competitors feel about being defeated. Yogesh competed in the second installment of Jeopardy! Masters. He fell just short of winning when Victoria Groce defeated him and James Holzhauer, who came in third place, in the finals. Both Yogesh and Victoria came back for Jeopardy! Masters season 3, though James declined the producers' invitation for unknown reasons. These two contestants almost had a repeat of their previous game. However, this time around, Yogesh ended up winning, and Victoria actually landed in third place.

Jeopardy! Masters winner Yogesh Raut revealed what the camaraderie was like between him, Juveria Zaheer and Victoria Groce.

Jeopardy! posted an interview with Yogesh after he won Jeopardy! Masters season 3. When the discussion turned to defeating Juveria Zaheer and Victoria Groce, the champion revealed what the camaraderie was like between the three of them.

After beginning as the frontrunner, Jeopardy! Masters season 3's Victoria Groce placed third in the tournament behind winner Yogesh Raut and runner-up Juveria Zaheer, and she now reveals if Yogesh deserved to win. Victoria came into Jeopardy! Masters season 3 after winning season 2, during which she bested runner-up Yogesh and third-place finisher James Holzhauer. She'd previously won the 2024 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, after returning to the game twenty years after defeating 19-day champion David Madden in 2005. As the Jeopardy! Masters season 3 winner, Yogesh was awarded $500,000, $100,000 for his favorite charity, and the coveted Alex Trebek trophy.

Victoria Groce placed third in the tournament behind winner Yogesh Raut and runner-up Juveria Zaheer, and she now reveals if Yogesh deserved to win.

Jeopardy! fans are lamenting the lack of multi-day winners during season 41 of the game show, and they hope that new champion Geoff Barnes can change that. During the May 29 Jeopardy! episode, Geoff, an analyst from Washington, D.C., played against Thomas Sweeney, a survey technician from Morrow, Ohio, and Anne Lagatta, a college professor originally from Moorestown, New Jersey.

Jeopardy! Masters is rolling along this year in the absence of superchamp James Holzhauer, but his influence is still being felt: he's a key part of contestant Victoria Groce's story from tonight's episode. Collider has an exclusive look at Groce's personal anecdote from this week's semifinals episode, which will premiere tonight on ABC at 9:00 p.m. Et and stream the next day on Hulu.

In the sneak peek, Groce talks about the Vegas-based Holzhauer doing a ceremonial puck drop for the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights, and how she wanted to emulate him by throwing out the first pitch for her beloved Pittsburgh Pirates. She discussed it with Holzhauer; he told her all she had to do was ask, but she wasn't assertive enough to do it herself.

The reason why James Holzhauer didn’t participate in this year’s Jeopardy! Masters was explained, but have fans wondered who was brought in as his replacement? Jeopardy! executive producer Michael Davies explained who was brought in instead and why it was such a significant pick. Davies talked about the replacement on the Jeopardy! website in the J-Buzz article. Holzhauer is the 2023 Jeopardy! Masters champion, and the third-place finisher in the 2024 competition, but opted not to compete in the 2025 tournament, despite being invited back by Davies and Sarah Whitcomb-Foss. During a live Inside Jeopardy! Podcast episode in April, the EPs explained, “As always, our top three Masters are guaranteed an invitation to the next Masters.” “But, that might leave you wondering, there is another Master — our third-place finisher James Holzhauer,” Whitcomb-Foss said. “As we mentioned, it is an invitational tournament. We absolutely did extend the invitation to James, and he decided for this year,...
