Pure speculation here, but could it be Alex's swan song?

That’s a possibility...

If it is, what a grand way to finish his long Jeopardy career.

Going out while still on top and with the greatest 3 contestants

It's a Tuesday. Unusual timing for a change of hosts. But anything's possible.

I'm with you on TeamJames! If anyone watched the special on Alex Trebek and Jeopardy last week, he said when he is ready to retire, he will just tell the producers to leave him 30 seconds of airtime at the end of a show. That he would say a few words and that would be it. I don't think he will do it during the GOAT shows though!

It’s a 4 night special, so don’t miss the rest of it! It’ll be on tonight, Wednesday, Thursday, and next Tuesday.

Since they all seem to know the answers regardless of how obscure the category, it will come down to who buzzes in the fastest and finds the 'daily doubles'.

 

[SaintsManiac]

I've been trying to imagine how difficult the categories will be!

I enjoy watching all 3 of them, so it is going to be difficult for me to have a favorite. I really think this is Alex' swan song. I watched the interview with Michael Straham and all indications are there that this will be it. And don't know if anyone else has noticed but his voice is getting worse each episode. He will be very hard to replace.......

I find it funny that ABC hasn't aired Jeopardy in syndication for years but all of a sudden they're gonna air this?

Jeopardy was on ABC before...there was a Super Jeopardy tournament on the network back in the summer of 1990.

Team Brad here. Got my Coryat scorekeeper ready to play along with the games.

 

[Dead2009]

I know it's been on ABC before but the past few years it's been airing on Fox.

I watched it and found it fascinating! All the work that led into the show - and the story with merv Griffin and Brandos piano ! I do believe this will be his swan song - will be missed as host !

Jeopardy is aired on the ABC station in the Chicagoland area, so it just depends on where you live.

I was curious about where it is aired in different areas, and found out some facts. In 7 of the top 10 largest markets, it is aired on ABC. (This comes from Matt Carberry and was published in Aug or Sept of 2019.)

ABC 52 stations (24.8%) has 41.6% of the viewers
NBC 70 stations (33.3%) has 24.7%
CBS 71 stations (33.8%) has 22.4%
FOX 12 stations (5.7%) has 6.1%
IND stations make up 3 (1.4%) and have 5%
