Game Shows

Jeopardy! is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin. Its quiz format reverses the usual question-and-answer structure: contestants receive general-knowledge clues phrased as answers and respond in question form. The original daytime version debuted on NBC in 1964, while the daily syndicated version premiered in 1984. Ken Jennings became the sole syndicated host in December 2023. The program has aired over 9,000 episodes and won 45 Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award.
