Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, bringing back another exciting round of the game show to the fore. The current season of the show started relatively slowly, due to the WGA strike that was going on when the show kicked off, but has now picked up pace following some great contestants.
This week has seen a strong champion in Will Stewart, who has been doing very well lately. Will Stewart, a political organizer originally from Nashville, Tennessee, will play against Kathy Olson, a journalism professor from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Grant DeYoung, a grocery clerk from Prescott, Arizona, in the upcoming round of the game show. This will be Stewart's fourth game in a row.
Will Stewart has been unstoppable over the last three days. He even achieved one of the best season averages of $70,501 in just three days. Unless someone else this evening manages to do better than him, his streak is probably going to last till the following day.
