What’s This TV Show About?

A trivia game show airing on the ABC television network, the Jeopardy! Masters TV series is hosted by Ken Jennings and is based on the long-running syndicated competition series. The tournament pits the six highest-ranked current Jeopardy! champions — James Holzhauer, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Yogesh Raut, Victoria Groce, and Amy Schneider — against one another in a round-robin style format, with each episode featuring two games and three players. The winner takes home a grand prize of $500,000 and the chance to be crowned Jeopardy! Masters champion.
 

Season Two Ratings

The second season of Jeopardy! Masters averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.22 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 28% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Jeopardy! Masters stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew Jeopardy! Masters for season three? The series performs well, has a built-in audience (from the daily syndicated version), and is relatively inexpensive to produce. The show can also be used to fill in gaps in the ABC schedule so, really, I can’t see why it wouldn’t be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
