'Jeopardy!' delays new episodes after protests from former players abiding by writers strike
Fox News
"Jeopardy!" will not be going forward with its Tournament of Champions after multiple players publicly refused to participate due to the writers strike.
"'Jeopardy!' never had any intention of producing a Tournament of Champions for season 39 until the strike is resolved," the statement, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, began. Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.
"Further, no contestants from season 39 have been contacted regarding their availability for any postseason tournaments, including the TOC. The ‘Jeopardy!’ postseason represents the pinnacle of our competition, and it should feature our strongest players playing our toughest original material."
