Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, bringing back the finale of the Fall 2023 Champions Wildcard contest, which is in the middle of its Diamonds Bracket now. The competition has been very engaging up to this point, and the three finalists had a great battle yesterday.
