Last year's CJ! champ can't be in this year's ToC, but the other players in this year's ToC are set (and yes, there will still be a series of Wild Card games to get in). https://thejeopardyfan.com/2024/11/32nd-toc-field-confirmed-lisa-ann-walter.html (scroll down the article to see the ToC list).

The series of games for 2nd Chancers to qualify for the ToC mystified me last year, but at least now I grok the process, if not the nomenclature.

Behind-the-scenes look at Jeopardy in the Ken Jennings era. Nothing really new here, except for the revelation that Jeopardy will have a next-day streaming home on Amazon Prime, starting this fall. (At least, this was news to me.)

Wow! Finally! This is the first I’m hearing this too!

…The biggest change still to come isn’t about the content of the show, but how to see it. Jeopardy! at the moment has no streaming home. You either need to set up an antenna or subscribe to a cable package or digital bundle to access the syndicated episodes. Davies has research showing that 14 percent of the show’s viewership comes from people watching episodes illegally uploaded to YouTube. But Pop Culture Jeopardy! is on Prime, and Sony has secured the ability to sell the next-day streaming rights for the main show starting in the fall.…

— and the best article on Jeopardy! I’ve seen too.

Thanks for sharing this, @30 Helens!

Hee -- I knew it had been discussed in this forum, but couldn't remember what thread so searched for it, and it turns out to have been a post from you:

Regarding Jeopardy pre-emptions, I read today that streaming is in the show’s future. Someone at a recent taping reported that Ken responded to a question about streaming the show by saying it was slated for sometime in 2025, most likely on Hulu or Amazon Prime. Now, that strikes me as a lot of detail for Ken to provide about something that hasn’t even been officially announced, so I’m skeptical that the comment was even made (or maybe I’m just overly cynical right now), but maybe? I would like it to be true.

From The Jeopardy! Fan:

LA Wildfires Cause Postponement of Jeopardy Invitational Tournament Taping

The ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area have caused the postponement of taping of the 2nd Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament.

Audience members with tickets were informed of the cancellation earlier today; one of those audience members reported this to The Jeopardy! Fan.

The tournament was set to tape next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Taping of the tournament will be rescheduled for a yet-to-be-announced date. The tournament is scheduled to air in late February/early March; unless the fires continue for an extended period of time, the tournament should still be able to air at its intended time. The tournament is set to award a spot in Jeopardy! Masters for its victor, with Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, and Mattea Roach—the three players relegated from last year’s Masters—among the contestants vying for that spot.
