The original Jeopardy! series has been a staple in daily syndication for decades, but that doesn’t mean that those viewers will watch a championship version in primetime. Will Jeopardy! Masters be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A trivia game show, the Jeopardy! Masters TV series is hosted by Ken Jennings and is based on the long-running syndicated competition series. The tournament pits highest-ranked current Jeopardy! champions against one another in a round-robin style format, with each episode featuring two games with three players each. The winner takes home a grand prize of $500,000 and the chance to be crowned Jeopardy! Masters champion. Contestants include reigning champion Victoria Groce, returning finalist Yogesh Raut, 2025 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner Neilesh Vinjamuri, TOC finalists Adriana Harmeyer and Isaac Hirsch, 2025 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament champion Matt Amodio, and JIT finalists Roger Craig and Juveria Zaheer. Additionally, the tournament marks the return of Brad Rutter, one of the biggest winners in Jeopardy! history.
