‘Jeopardy!: GOAT’ returns for round 4 and the series could end tonight
'#JeopardyGOAT is better than I could have dreamed'
Fox News medical correspondent Dr. Marc Siegel on 'Jeopardy' host Alex Trebek revealing he has stage-four pancreatic cancer.
The “Jeopardy!: Greatest of All Time” tournament continues into its fourth round Tuesday as one of the show’s three biggest winners comes closer to winning $1 million.
And if Ken Jennings, who won two of last week’s three matches, wins again tonight, the series will be over and the all-time champ will be crowned the “Jeopardy! G.O.A.T.”
Heading into Tuesday's game, Jennings ranks first, followed by James Holzhauer, who’s posted one win in the series, and Brad Rutter, who ranks in third with no match wins so far.
And social media users seem geared up for the match: “Not going to lie, #JeopardyGOAT is the better than I could have dreamed even if it is making me feel dumb,” one tweet read.
Tuesday’s episode is the latest in a string of one-hour matches, each consisting of two complete games. The winners will be decided by total points, per the “Jeopardy!” website.
The first-place winner will receive $1 million while the runners-ups will get $250,000 each.
If Holzhauer or Rutter win the round, the series will continue into another night.
