Jeopardy legend James Holzhauer slams the game show's producers for making significant changes to season 40 and moving forward despite the WGA strike.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jeopardy! legend James Holzhauer slams the game show's producers for moving forward despite the WGA strike. Holzhauer is known for his 32-game winning streak on the quiz show from April to June 2019, setting multiple single-game records for winnings, and going on to win the following Tournament of Champions that November.
The Recent Jeopardy Season 40 Controversy Explained In recent weeks, Jeopardy! season 40 has been at the center of controversy due to the ongoing WGA strike and debate surrounding whether the upcoming season should shut down production in a show of solidarity with the striking writers. Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik has temporarily exited the show in solidarity with the WGA, making season 40's host situation uncertain, though alternate host Ken Jennings will likely fill in full-time.
Jeopardy! season 40 will begin with the Second Chance tournament featuring contestants from Season 37, the winners of which will face the season 38 winners in a Champions Wild Card competition. These shows will use a combination of recycled questions from past seasons and questions that were written before the strike. Once the WGA strike is over, Jeopardy! will head into the 2023 Tournament of Champions.
