“Jeopardy!” is a renowned American television game show created by Merv Griffin. The show features contestants who are presented with general knowledge clues in the form of answers, to which they must respond by phrasing their replies in the form of questions.
The original daytime version debuted on NBC on March 30, 1964, and continued until January 3, 1975. The current syndicated version began on September 10, 1984, with Alex Trebek as the host. Following Trebek’s passing in November 2020, the show has featured various guest hosts, including Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik, before settling on a rotating host format.
In recent developments, Harvey Silikovitz, an attorney living with Parkinson’s disease, achieved his long-held dream of competing on “Jeopardy!” after multiple attempts over 24 years. Despite his diagnosis in 2019, Silikovitz participated in the show on March 10, 2025, ending the eight-game winning streak of contestant Laura Faddah. He hopes his story serves as inspiration for others facing chronic illnesses.
