Jeopardy!

One of the all-time longest-running television game shows, Jeopardy follows a quiz format where contestants test their general knowledge with clues in the form of the answer to a question. Contestants must then give their answer in the form of a question when they buzz in to respond to the clue. Beginning in 1964, Jeopardy has had a series of hosts, most notably Alex Trebek who hosted the show from 1984 until his death in 2020. The show is currently hosted by Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik.
