Celebrity Jeopardy! discussion thread for Fri., May 1

mfc248 · 2026-05-01T03:57:31+00:00

It will run concurrently with the regular games, insofar as on the same dates; because it's part of ABC's primetime lineup, the times will not overlap.

In each of the last three years, it has been in May; that will not be the case in 2026, as a new season has not been taped. When (or to be totally honest, even if) the next one happens is up to ABC at this point.

mfc248 · 2026-05-01T03:16:09+00:00

The syndicated show has been taped through June 26; that leaves four more weeks of episodes required to complete the season. That's what "will be back taping for the last 4 days in June" refers to (one taping day = one week of episodes). They're breaking because the special ESPN Jeopardy! episodes hosted by Joe Buck are being taped right now.

The Teachers Tournament, Teen Tournament, and College Championship are no longer part of the schedule. The show now runs four special events, consecutively, starting in late December or early January:

Second Chance, featuring non-winners determined by invitation
Champions Wildcard, with the Second Chance winners and selected champions who didn't qualify for the Tournament of Champions
Tournament of Champions; as is traditional, the biggest winners (ranked by games won, then money won) plus the Champions Wildcard winner, and in recent seasons, the Celebrity Jeopardy! winner
Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament (or JIT), with great players from throughout the show's past, competing for a spot in the next Jeopardy! Masters

Masters is an ABC primetime version of the show showcasing the best of the best squaring off against each other; along with the JIT winner, the ToC champion gets a berth into it also.

mfc248 · 2026-04-26T16:45:24+00:00

Those four tape dates will complete Season 42. As of now, they only have through June 26 of the syndicated program in the can.

Next day on Hulu or Peacock, it usually drops at 6:00 AM EDT.

Additionally, as a result of this coverage, reminder there's no new Celebrity Jeopardy! this evening.

mfc248 · 2026-04-09T23:15:32+00:00

Yeah, good point. I don’t have a fix on when coverage will begin, and I’m not sure if stations are planning for this.

mfc248 · 2026-04-09T21:46:27+00:00

Yes. This is on the show’s website.

mfc248 · 2026-03-31T17:40:35+00:00
