Jeopardy is a quiz competition show that reverses the traditional question-and-answer format of many quiz shows. The contestants are instead given general knowledge clues in the form of answers and they must identify the person, place, thing, or idea that the clue describes, phrasing each response in the form of a question.
With a weekly audience of 23 million viewers, JEOPARDY! is the top-rated quiz show on television, and has won numerous awards and distinctions over the course of more than 30 years on the air, including the 2017 Emmy for Outstanding Game Show.
