Davies appeared on the “Inside Jeopardy!” podcast last month where he revealed that he’s thinking of giving contestants cash for answering all the clues in one category correctly.He explained that the cash bonus would be a completely separate, extra reward. It would also not change who wins the game.The game show boss — who took the helm of the long-running series in 2021 — clapped back at the haters on Tuesday.“A lot of response … [over] the not yet reigned-in idea that I floated,” he told the Sun.“It doesn’t need to be reigned-in yet because it hasn’t been enacted in any way,” he said.

hosting the show in 2022 alongside former “Jeopardy!” superstar Ken Jennings after the death of Alex Trebek in 2020 — made the heartwarming revelation while appearing on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Wednesday night.According to the former “Big Bang Theory” star, her mother has become extremely invested in the longest-running game show in the US after her daughter said she was hosting — despite not really knowing much about it. “She was excited, but she didn’t know anything about what “Jeopardy!” is,” said the 46-year-old actress.

“Inside Jeopardy!” podcast that he’s thinking of gifting contestants cash for answering all the clues in one category correctly.He elaborated on the idea to his co-producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss and “Jeopardy!” winner Buzzy Cohen that the changes may occur this season.“It’s a moment in the studio; it’s a great thing,” Davies said.He added that the cash bonus will be a completely separate and extra reward and would not affect who won the game.He continued: “It might also give incentive to people who are trailing to try and go into a category and get something from the game beyond their second or third place prize.”Many Twitter users were confused over the admission and questioned how exactly the game would work.“If the contestant gets some tangible prize to take home, but not one that impacts the SCORE of the game, I’d be down,” someone explained.They added: “I also think it shouldn’t be worth much more than the total of the clues. For instance, a $35k car for $6k worth of correct responses seems like overkill to me.”“No no no no no.

What is perseverance?A “Jeopardy!” contestant has returned to reclaim her crown — 50 years later.Player Martha Bath — who won the game show in 1972 — has come back to add more dough to her winnings.Bath told host Ken Jennings on Wednesday evening’s episode: “Fifty years ago this spring, I was on the original daytime show with Art Fleming in New York.”“Generally, ‘Jeopardy!’ appearances are one to a customer,” Jennings joked.Back in the day, the now-retired CPA ultimately scored $40 and a set of encyclopedias. Factoring in inflation, $40 would be about $283 today.The Seattle, Washington, native doubled her winnings with the query: “Perhaps the most famous picture of him was taken in New Jersey in 1951 as he was annoyed by paparazzi on his 72nd birthday.”This made her the game show’s champ and she answered, “Who is Einstein?”Since she wagered her entire prize pot, Bath’s score of $15,400 increased to $30,800 and she was able to get ahead of former winners Emmett Stanton and Christopher Pennant.

The “Call Me Kat” actress will also be the host of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” and special tournaments, while Jennings will host the Second Chance Tournament and the Tournament of Champions.That was unwelcome news for some viewers as both the history-making “Jeopardy!” champion and the “Big Bang Theory” alum have faced their fair share of blunders — and, therefore, criticism. The Twitter announcement received hundreds of responses, many expressing unhappiness at the news that Bialik would be sticking around.

Twitter posted a side-by-side photo of the two contestants, writing, “#Jeopardy this didn’t count, but then this one did??”Goldberger’s answer was: “Who is Harriet Tubman?”“Apparently according to #Jeopardy producers, one of theses [sic] says ‘Waiting for Godot’ while the other does NOT say ‘Harriet Tubman.’ #MakeItMakeSense,” another viewer chimed in.#jeopardy this didn’t count, but then this one did?? pic.twitter.com/xsr2RUBLv3The official “Jeopardy!” website states that written answers to the Final Jeopardy! clue don’t have to be spelled the right way in order to win, “but they must be phonetically correct and not add or subtract any extraneous sounds or syllables.”One person suggested the show goes digital in the future. “I don’t quite get why contestants don’t have keypads for Final Jeopardy.

back at the helm of the game show serving as a host and he’s already stunned viewers.Jennings, 48, hosted the show Monday after several months away, with Mayim Bialik filling in for him previously.During a Double Jeopardy round, a clue for “Active Bible Verses” read: “Since no one had done this for 40 years, God told Joshua to get a knife & do this to male Israelites.”Contestant Erica Weiner-Amanchi then buzzed in and said: “What is, Circumcise?”Jennings then joked, “That is correct.

game show producers were forced to intervene during a show earlier this week when Bialik, 46, mistakenly said that a contestant didn’t win her points, when, in fact, the player did.The clue read: “From a Latin word for ‘to clock,’ it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing.”Contestant Andie Huskie then answered, “What is palliative care?” pronouncing it differently.However, he then corrected his solution to “palliative care” pronounced correctly before time ran out.But as he quickly changed his answer, the “Big Bang Theory” alum was already claiming the word was wrong.Producers chimed in while the show aired, coming in hot in the middle of a Daily Double.While another contestant was answering a different question, Bialik halted the game to announce their decision on Huskie’s behalf.She said, “We have a score change and, Andie, it affects you. The judges have reviewed your response, and you corrected your response of ‘palliative care’ before I began to rule you incorrect. We will be adding $4,000 to your score.

“Bialik Breakdown,” the current “Jeopardy!” host talked with actor Justin Long about the feedback she receives from viewers, who say, “We don’t prefer you to Ken,” a reference to game-show veteran Jennings’ hosting skills. “Isn’t that wild?” Long responded. “Well, it’s the only profession that I can think of — where people will tell you deeply insulting things but with a big smile?”The “Big Bang” actress slightly switched topics from gameplay to her physical appearance — which has been criticized by many “Jeopardy” fans.
