In his time on Jeopardy!, Isaac Hirsch was not only a great champion, but he was also a popular contestant. While many people find reasons to dislike long-running champs, Isaac was likable and self-deprecating and picked up a huge fanbase. It also appears he has a lot of people who started sending him DMs because they thought he was hot.
Isaac has a girlfriend, but he said that isn’t stopping men from sending “thirsty DMs” to him. Here is what Hirsch had to say.

Isaac Hirsch became an instant fan favorite during his nine-game winning streak on Jeopardy! earlier this year, and it turns out he was a big hit with a particular subsection of the audience. The customer support team lead from Burbank, California, walked away with over $215,000 after winning nine consecutive games on Jeopardy!‘s 40th season. However, in addition to the title of Jeopardy! champion, Hirsch earned the surprising title of “gay icon.” As first reported by The U.S. Sun, Hirsch appeared on the most recent edition of the What is…? A Jeopardy! podcast, where he opened up about receiving lots of attention from the show’s gay viewers, including “thirsty DMs.” “It was maybe the most surprising part of all of it,” Hirsch said after the podcast hosts referred to him as a “low-key gay icon.” Hirsch continued, “Because I’ve been out in public, and as far as I know,...

Jeopardy! might air for 46 weeks of the year, but that isn’t enough for some fans who are desperately craving new episodes amid the summer hiatus. The long-running game show wrapped up its 40th season on Friday, July 26, and went into its slate of reruns from July 29. The reruns began with the most recent Tournament of Champions, with episodes set to air until August 16. This will be followed by a repeat of the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament from August 19 to September 6. Season 41 will premiere with new episodes on Monday, September 9. However, that is too long of a wait for some superfans, who have taken to social media to share their disappointment. They are also calling for the show to film more episodes so that it is on 52 weeks a year without repeats. “I feel lost without J! in the summer,” wrote one viewer on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum. “Why do they need to take a break?...

Undeniably, Jeopardy! can be entertaining especially with the introduction of celebrities in the mix. However, fans call out the worst celebrities to be on Celebrity Jeopardy! Furthermore, some proposed twists pop up as well during the discussion.
Celebrity Jeopardy! At Its Finest
While the original Jeopardy! is full of entertainment, its spinoff series, Celebrity Jeopardy! sports its own fun. Furthermore, it pulls in celebrity contestants to compete for a chance to win money for the charity of their choice. Undeniably, it has been a riot to watch some of their attempts over the first two seasons. Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings have hosted many familiar faces competing for the win. Likewise, SNL has paved the way by showing hilarious sketches of famous faces pretending to play the legendary game. But now, fans are calling out the worst celebrities for the show.

Jeopardy! seems to have completely moved on from Mayim Bialik with an alarming clue that viewers noticed. So, what is it that hints that this chapter with her is completely closed?
Jeopardy! Shake Up Following Passing Of Alex Trebek
When one person hosts an iconic game show for so long, they become synonymous with the program. The same way that Bob Barker was the face of The Price Is Right, and just like Pat Sajak is the face of Wheel Of Fortune, Alex Trebek was the one people thought of whenever they thought of Jeopardy!
It isn’t a stretch to say that it has been an awkward period of transition since Alex Trebek’s passing. When you have a long-running game show that is popular with generations of fans, it’s inevitable that the torch will have to go to someone else.

After parting ways with Mayim Bialik last December, Jeopardy! has finally removed the former host from its website, erasing any trace of the Big Bang Theory alum from the show’s history. As first reported by The U.S. Sun, the official Jeopardy! website no longer includes photos of Bialik on its About The Show page, and her bio page has also disappeared. Up until last Friday (August 2), Bialik still had a presence on the website. Bialik was selected as one of the long-running game show’s new hosts in 2022 alongside former contestant Ken Jennings. Bialik and Jennings’ casting came after a long search for a new host following the passing of Alex Trebek and the controversial hiring (and then firing) of producer Mike Richards. Initially, Bialik and Jennings took turns hosting the regular syndicated version of Jeopardy!, while the Call Me Kat star also hosted Celebrity Jeopardy! and other spin-offs.

This Tuesday, August 6, is no trivial day for Jeopardy! champ James Holzhauer: It’s the day this self-described game show “Final Boss” turns 40 years old. And if Holzhauer’s first four decades are any indication of what’s to come, we’d wager good money on big success in the next four. In honor of this momentous birthday for “Jeopardy! James,” here are our picks for his biggest achievements to date. James Holzhauer skipped second grade. In junior kindergarten, 4-year-old Holzhauer was so adept at math that his teacher developed a special curriculum for him, as the Chicago Tribune reported in 1989. The budding brainiac also joined a fifth-grade math class at age 7 and skipped second grade, as he told The New York Times in 2019. He won first in physics at a Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering state competition. Not only was Holzhauer a member of the team that...

When Ken Jennings stepped into the Jeopardy! hosting gig, he was not alone. By his side was actress, Mayim Bialik who helped balance the workload. She hosted Celebrity Jeopardy! and they also split the season. It worked as some viewers really liked the former show champion while others preferred Mayim’s way of hosting. Then, the WGA strike happened and Mayim exited the game show leaving Ken alone. Add on the SAG-AFTRA strike and it was unclear if she would ever return. That made the executives realize...

Jeopardy! fans expressed excitement over the unveiling of the host and a popular contestant joining a new spinoff.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! will be similar to the regular game, which features contestants giving questions as their answers to clues from the game board.
Ken Jennings hosts the version that airs daily on ABC, and some believed he might also host the pop culture spinoff.
However, Jeopardy! recently revealed that Colin Jost is the spinoff’s official host.
Jost is best known as a Saturday Night Live cast member, where he regularly presents the SNL Weekend Update segment with castmate Michael Che.
While that news may have many people excited for the spinoff, it seems a former contestant revealing he’s writing clues for the show also has people excited.

Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows out there. However, just because that is the case, it doesn’t mean everyone has the time to watch the show live when it airs on cable. Recently, however, viewers could not watch it via streaming, either, and watchers were, understandably, upset. So, what’s the latest on this?

As Jeopardy! viewers saw not too long ago, the fan-favorite game show that tests knowledge just wrapped Season 40 of the program, an incredible run by any stretch. When it comes to the biggest game shows and longest-running ones that are still on the air, Jeopardy! is certainly one of them.

Jeopardy! fans are up in arms after details about how past players are paid have been made public. Viewers have started campaigning in hopes of helping former players get paid more in residuals when their reruns air on television. So, what prompted this discussion and how much are past players paid? Here’s what has been revealed so far.
Game Show Channel Shut Down On Pluto TV
Jeopardy! was recently removed from Pluto TV. Fans noticed that it disappeared from the streaming platform on Wednesday, July 31. Pluto was the only way for viewers to watch Jeopardy! outside of cable television.
It wasn’t the only game show impacted either. The entire game show channel on Pluto TV stopped working. Instead, when viewers tuned in to the channel, a black screen appeared with “Jeopardy! hosted by Alex Trebek is no longer available on Pluto TV.”

This January, “Password” presenter Keke Palmer broke new ground as the first Black woman to ever win an Emmy for hosting a game show. As the 30-year-old faces the challenge of defending her crown at September’s Creative Arts ceremony, she has the potential to make history once again as her category’s all-time youngest two-time champion.
The current Best Game Show Host lineup almost perfectly matches last year’s, with the only difference being the inclusion of Jane Lynch (“Weakest Link”) instead of the ineligible Mayim Bialik (“Jeopardy!”). The three men filling out the remaining slots are newly solo “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings and three-time winners Steve Harvey (“Celebrity Family Feud”) and Pat Sajak (“Wheel of Fortune”).
In order to determine if anyone can stop Palmer from establishing a streak, let’s take a closer look at each nominee. Be sure to make your predictions in this and 30 other...

In 2023, after nearly five decades of the Best Game Show category being a Daytime Emmys staple, the TV academy resolved to begin bestowing the honor at their annual Primetime Creative Arts ceremony. In spite of this change, “Jeopardy!” handily claimed its fourth consecutive and 20th overall program victory last year, and it shouldn’t have much trouble extending its streak in 2024.
As has been the case every year since 2013, “Jeopardy!” is vying for this prize against “The Price Is Right,” which is seeking its ninth win (and first for its evening iteration) after last prevailing in 2018. The two game genre giants also face past victors “Family Feud,” “Password,” and “Wheel of Fortune,” the first of which is nominated for its celebrity edition for the first time ever.

Jeopardy! has named Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost as the host of its upcoming Pop Culture spinoff, causing disappointment for some fans who were hoping for former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen to helm the new show. Cohen, who first appeared on Jeopardy! in Season 32 and won over $165,000 during his 9-game streak, was a firm favorite when the show first announced the spinoff series. “Buzzy would be a great host,” wrote one fan on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum at the time. “I hope Buzzy gets it with Sam Buttrey as his announcer and sidekick!” said another. Another responded, “I was super excited for this but with Buzzy I’d be through the roof!” Cohen, who won the 2017 Tournament of Champions and also captained Team Buzzy during the 2019 All-Star Games, certainly has the credentials to host. Not only does he serve as co-host on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, but...

Fans of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are not happy after Pluto TV removed channels dedicated to the iconic game shows from its streaming platform. Since 2022, the Paramount-owned app has featured channels devoted to old episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, as well as other game shows such as Price is Right. The latter show is still available to watch on the service. On Thursday, August 1, a Reddit user took to the Jeopardy! Reddit forum to reveal the channels for Jeopardy! and Wheel had disappeared from Pluto TV. “It looks like now if you check the game shows section of the pluto tv channel list, the Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune channels have now been completely removed from the list instead of saying they are no longer available,” the user wrote. Fans were fuming about this, especially those wanting to watch classic episodes while new episodes of Jeopardy!

Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Ang Lee
Ang Lee was pulling his hair out. He was in preproduction in China on his ambitious martial arts movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when a silent investor pulled out. “It was the toughest movie I’d ever tried to make,” recalls Lee, who thought it was all over. But Columbia came to the rescue, thanks to a new initiative to assist local-language filmmaking in foreign markets.

Ang Lee was pulling his hair out. He was in preproduction in China on his ambitious martial arts movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when a silent investor pulled out. “It was the toughest movie I’d ever tried to make,” recalls Lee, who thought it was all over. But Columbia came to the rescue, thanks to a new initiative to assist local-language filmmaking in foreign markets.

When it comes to Jeopardy!, knowledge is key. However, the way that many viewers see things, inconsistent rulings from the judges can severely impact a player’s game, no matter how knowledgeable they are on certain topics. Recently, viewers took to social media to slam a particular inconsistency. So, what happened?
Jeopardy! The Smallest Nuances Can Mean A Big Difference In Earnings
As longtime Jeopardy! viewers have seen over the years, just being smart doesn’t always mean a player will earn the big bucks, let alone put together the type of winning streak that inspires envy. Because this is a game show, a lot of factors go into making a champion.
There is also strategy and a bit of luck, in addition to a well-rounded base of knowledge, that often means the difference between winning the game and becoming a champion. However, the way that some viewers see things,...

“Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost — currently in Tahiti covering surfing (and injuring his toes) for NBC’s Summer Olympics coverage — has another new job: Host of “Pop Culture Jeopardy!”
The “Jeopardy!” spin-off, announced in May, will run on Amazon’s Prime Video and start production in August, presumably once Jost gets back from the islands. The series, which comes from Sony Pictures Television (and its game show division), is being billed as “the first ‘Jeopardy!’ series created exclusively for a major streaming service”.
“Colin’s sharp wit and intelligence epitomize ‘Pop Culture Jeopardy!,’” said Suzanne Prete, the president of game shows at Sony Pictures Television, said in a statement. “He’s smart and quick, like our contestants, and we know he’ll be able to keep up with them while making this new series his own. We could not be happier that he is joining us for this new journey.

What is: Colin Jost is hosting a new Jeopardy! spinoff.
The longtime Saturday Night Live star will host Pop Culture Jeopardy! for Prime Video. It marks the first time that a spinoff of the long-running quiz show has been made exclusively for streaming. The series has been in the works for some time, having been announced in May at Amazon’s upfront.
Jost, who is in Tahiti covering the Olympics surfing for NBC and navigating nasty toe injuries, will lead the series, which comes from Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind Jeopardy!
The “Weekend Update” star has been a clue twice on Jeopardy! but the contestants didn’t know who he was either time. “I found out about it because my mom sent me the clip and she said, ‘I would have gotten it.’ When you’re a clue on Jeopardy!, you feel like you’ve made it, but then...

Former Jeopardy! champ Sam Kavanaugh recently dished on what he sees as one of the show’s major flaws. So, what did he say about how things should change?
Jeopardy! Champs Become Part Of The Show’s Lore
With the way that Jeopardy! is built, when you become a champion, and when you put an impressive winning streak together, you become part of the fabric of the game. Even years after someone appears on the show, they are forever a part of the show’s lore.
In addition, there is no better example of a former Jeopardy! champion becoming an integral part of the show than current host, Ken Jennings. He put together an unbeatable winning streak of 74 games back in 2004. All these years later, he is now the host of the show.

Season 40 of Jeopardy! came to an end on July 26. Now fans of the show have been having their say about what went down these past few months. And many aren’t happy, to say the least. In fact Season 40, the first season to be formally solo-hosted by Ken Jennings, spurred a heated debate on Jeopardy! sub-Reddit, in which one user began online discourse under the title “Worst season of Jeopardy! ever?” Their disdain for the season stemmed from tournament coverage, the redundancy of players, and what they said was a poor job done by the production team of the series. “This had to be the worst season I’ve ever seen,” wrote the user. “The constant, unending tournament played for very small stakes…the same people playing, over and over…It’s really on the production team. They’ve done a poor job this season…They should have just aired reruns.

Jeopardy! fans recently flew off the handle at recent players on the show for being “too young” to catch an obvious answer. So, what happened with this situation that had viewers so livid?
Jeopardy! Contestants Are Typically The Smartest Around
When most viewers think of Jeopardy! as a competition game show, the first thing that often comes to mind is brain power. While most competition shows on the air today rely on physical strength and endurance, this show is one of the few out there that rewards someone for being smart.
Just by watching the show as a fan, viewers can learn a lot. Sometimes it may be obscure facts that might never see the light of day in someone’s everyday life. However, other times, they may learn something that could come in handy someday. At the very least, the show does entertain.

Price Is Right – Called Out For Big Brother Promotion

Jeopardy! player Davey Morrison has been through things in his life that make winning a game of the show a piece of cake, including surviving more than one near-death experience. So, what did he have to say about everything he has been through?
Jeopardy! A New Challenger Davey Morrison Became The Champion
Just in the last two to three weeks alone, there have been some memorable Jeopardy! champions who took the crown. Fans fell in love with competitor Isaac Hirsch, who put together an impressive streak of nine games.
Following that, Neilesh Vinjamuri put together a respectable winning streak as well, until he was beaten by Davey Morrison.
One thing Jeopardy! fans love is how a relatively unknown player can come out of nowhere to put together an impressive winning streak for the ages. This can sometimes catapult them into stardom, much like show host, Ken Jennings.

Jeopardy! has gained a reputation this year for inconsistent rulings. In some cases, players lose because the show chooses to implement rules they ignored in previous shows. Other times, players win because the show ignores rules that eliminated players earlier in the season. Fans believe it happened again with Davey Morrison.
Here is what happened and why fans are mad.
Jeopardy! Inconsistent Rules Hurts Davey Morrison
This last week was the end of the season for Jeopardy! The show will remain on hiatus until the new season starts in September. However, fans head into the break thinking of all the inconsistent moments that have happened this year. This moment came when one struct ruling caused a huge $4,000 score swing in the game.

When it comes to Jeopardy!, it’s usually the contestants who win big. However, thanks to recent developments, all of the hard work that Ken Jennings has put into his hosting gig seems to be paying dividends as well. So, what’s the latest?
Jeopardy! Ken Jennings Won Big As A Contestant
Ken Jennings may have won the hosting gig for Jeopardy!, but, before he filled in as the host for the popular show, he was one of the most iconic winners as a contestant, too. In previous Jeopardy! games, contestants were limited to a five-day limit to appear as the champion.
These days, Jeopardy! champions can stay on until someone else beats them and takes the title. Thanks to that rule change, Ken Jennings put together a near-unbeatable winning streak of 74 games. This led to him pocketing millions in prize money, something current contestants can only dream of.

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings is ready for a fresh start with his former co-host, Mayim Bialik. She was let go from the show in December 2023 but now, Ken is looking for the two to make amends. How and why does he want to do this? Keep reading for more details.
Jeopardy! Ken Jennings Wants Fresh Start With Mayim Bialik
When Alex Trebek passed away, the search was on for the perfect Jeopardy! host. Of course, no one could be Trebek as he was game show royalty but there were still some great contenders. Ken Jennings had been an iconic champion whereas Mayim Bialik was extremely well-rounded. Not only was she a beloved actress but she also is a neuroscientist. It seemed like the perfect combination so instead of one host, the game show opted for two. She did Celebrity Jeopardy! and they would switch off the main show, finding a good balance.

Yogesh Raut is speaking out after experiencing “some of the ugliest forms of racism there are.” As Raut racked up more than half a million dollars on Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! Masters, fans bashed him over his demeanor on stage, his buzzer technique, and his boasts during the competition. And then fans found Raut’s Facebook critiques of Jeopardy!, in which he said the show “has not nor will ever be the Olympics of quizzing” and that toxic fans make the show “fundamentally incompatible with true social justice.” Now, in a new interview with The U.S. Sun, Raut is defending his views. “Oftentimes, when I’m being critical, I’m talking about a segment of the fandom, because people have supported me, defended me, reached out to me telling me I’m an inspiration,” he said. “The critical comments I made are fundamentally targeted at a minority of the fandom — a loud and vocal part.

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings often keeps his composure while hosting the popular game show. In recent scenes, however, even Jennings barely held on after a cheeky answer. So, what happened in recent game show scenes?
Jeopardy! Host Ken Jennings Often Keeps His Composure
When it comes to hosting a show like Jeopardy!, where it’s all about testing your library of knowledge and brain power, things are often serious in tone. With the academic approach to this game show, things don’t get quite as outlandish or out of hand as they might on other game shows like The Price Is Right or Family Feud.
Taking that more academic approach means that Ken Jennings has to stay calm, cool, and collected. While he certainly inserts some dry humor and sprinkles in the occasional funny quip, for the most part, the tone of the show remains serious, as there is often big money at stake.

Jeopardy!‘s latest game left fans wanting for more from the players as the latest competitors avoided high-scoring clues on the clue board in the July 25th game. One-day champion Davey Morrison, an actor and screenwriter from Utah faced off against Kentucky-based It portfolio director and musician Phil Gatton, and Minnesota-based legislative fiscal analyst Krista Boyd for a match that was really no competition. The game was an essential runaway for Davey who achieved his second victory with a final score of $13,512. Davey and Krista were the only ones to deliver the correct response in Final Jeopardy for a clue in the category “Famous Women,” which read, “Adding to her nickname, one legend claimed that earlier in life, she was saved from drowning by family friend Mark Twain.” The correct response was “Who was ‘The Unsinkable’ Molly Brown?” Jeopardy!, Inc. Still, entering Final Jeopardy, it was a runaway for Davey...

Former Jeopardy! champ Winston Nguyen has been arrested on child porn charges, prosecutors said.
Nguyen, 37, surrendered in Brooklyn today after a probe into accusations involving explicit photos and minors, authorities said. Nguyen’s arrest comes a few years after he appeared twice on Jeopardy! and won one episode.
Prosecutors claim Nguyen allegedly preyed upon six students from elite schools — including Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, where he taught math to students.
Nguyen allegedly exchanged messages with students on Snapchat, pretending to be a teenager at least 11 times while trying to get students to send him photos. His phone and other devices purportedly containing images of several minors were seized.
He will be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court on charges of using a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance by a child, among other counts.
The criminal complaint will then go to a grand jury for a potential indictment.

As Jeopardy! prepares to wrap up Season 40 on Friday (July 26), fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the player of the season while looking ahead to the upcoming Tournament of Champions. On the Jeopardy! Reddit forum, one fan put up a poll asking fans to choose their Season 40 player of the season. The options included multi-day champs like Adriana Harmeyer, Isaac Hirsch, Amy Hummel, Allison Betts, and Survivor alum Drew Basile. As of writing, Harmeyer is leading the poll with 163 votes. Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana, won 15 consecutive games earlier this year and accumulated $351,600. She was ultimately defeated by Basile, who went on to win seven games. Basile is currently third in the poll with 26 votes. Hirsch, who recently won nine games in a row, sits in second with 119 votes.

A recent Jeopardy! contestant spilled the beans on what it’s like being on the set of the popular game show. So, what did this recent participant have to say about his time competing?
Jeopardy! Game Show Keeps Viewers On Their Toes
As longtime Jeopardy! viewers know, this is one of the few game shows out there that forces viewers, and especially players, to use their brains. Physical competition game shows are a dime a dozen. However, when it comes to testing intelligence and a person’s library of knowledge, Jeopardy! is king.
One thing about this game show is, you never know when what you think might be trivial information can come in handy. Sometimes the smallest detail or the most mundane fact can be the correct response on the show. Of course, this can result in big money, as players have been known to put together some pretty...

Isaac Hirsch was on a roll when he appeared on Jeopardy! earlier this month, winning nine games in a row. However, it all came crashing down when some “bad math” brought his streak to an unfortunate end. Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California, had amassed $215,390 over nine games before a massive wager in the last round of the July 16 game cost him dearly. Now, fans have been able to hear Hirsch’s reaction to his stinging loss. On the latest edition of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss and former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen played an exclusive clip of Hirsch’s comments right after his nine-game winning streak came to an end. “Isaac, you’re looking at your math right now,” host Ken Jennings said in the clip. “I did it wrong,” Hirsch replied. “I did my math incorrectly. Ugh.” “So you were...
