Welcome back to another week’s worth of editorial thoughts here at The Jeopardy! Fan!
Happy 19th Birthday, J! Archive!
On Thursday, J! Archive celebrated its 19th birthday. I just wanted to look back on something that I said last year.
On its 18th birthday, I said, “Over the past 18 years, we have managed to enter just over 85% of the show’s games. Getting to 90% seems like a realistic goal for the 19th year…” — I can’t say that I expected us to clear 96%, let alone get close to 97%, over the past year. I also said 100% was an “ambitious but possible” goal. Do I still think that? Yes. Do I also think it will take J! Archive getting lucky? Yes.
Responding To A Mailbag Question In General
I’ve said this before in an editorial, and my stance hasn’t changed: the episodes we’re seeing now directly result from the AMPTP underestimating the resolve of the WGA and the AMPTP forcing the WGA out onto a lengthy strike. The best way to get back to the Jeopardy that the show most wants to produce is to support organized labor. At this point, we’re just over two weeks from the start of the programming that was intended to start Season 40.
I’m looking forward to the expanded postseason, and I hate to say it, but if you’re not looking forward to seeing some of last year’s champs again, that’s not the show’s problem. These are some of the best trivia minds returning to compete, and I can’t wait to see them.

It’s Reaching A Point Where More Episodes A Year Are Needed
I want to preface this by saying that I do like, in general, what Michael Davies’ plans are for the show overall. To maintain relevance in the 2020s and beyond, Jeopardy! needs to have its bankable personalities, like James Holzhauer, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach. However, it’s going to be very difficult within the “230 syndicated episodes a year + Jeopardy Masters on ABC” framework to both feature its important personalities regularly, in addition to giving the longtime fans the “regular play” they desire.
It’s time for Jeopardy to partner with a streaming service to increase the number of games that air yearly. For example, you could offer a 10, 13, or 15-episode package to an international streaming service, potentially offering an “International Tournament” (after all, there are new international versions of the show seemingly popping up weekly), or putting preliminary rounds to the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament on a streaming service to give more players on the Jeopardy ladder a chance to reach Masters without causing too much of an interruption in regular play. And I think that ultimately makes everyone happy—giving the fans that prefer regular play more of that, while giving extra content to the diehard fans who want to see top-tier play.
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
My Thoughts on the UK/Australian Jeopardy! Set
On Thursday, Buzzerblog released photographs of the new UK/Australian Jeopardy! set. Both countries’ limited runs of the series are set to air in 2024; UK Jeopardy will be airing on ITV, while Jeopardy Australia will be airing on Channel Nine.
The set design gives me the vibes of the American set, with a slightly more minimalist design. However, it also gives me the feeling that I’m watching someone play the PS4 or Switch version of the game instead of an actual game of the show.
My thoughts will change as I get used to the international versions, though. I’m still looking forward to watching the UK and Australian versions!
A Brief Celebrity Scheduling Note
As per reports this week from Deadline, Celebrity Jeopardy! moves to Tuesday this January for the semifinals and finals, as a lead-in to Only Murders in the Building. The semifinals and finals will be airing on January 2, 9, 16, and 23.
In Closing
I hope everyone’s making good headway on their holiday shopping—see you tomorrow when I answer some mailbag questions!
