Jeopardy! to Proceed with Season 40 Using Recycled Questions and Past Contestants Amid Ongoing Hollywood Writers Strike

Jeopardy! will start season 40 with a second chance tournament for losing contestants from season 37 before moving to a champions wildcard.
Questions will include a combination of pre-strike material and reused clues from previous seasons.
Increasing second and third place winnings by $1,000 each addresses concerns over contestants paying their own travel expenses.
A regular competition timeline is still uncertain, but celebrity episodes will feature original content.
These adjustments allow the show to continue despite the strike, which has impacted scheduling and new material.
