The upcoming round of Jeopardy! is all set to air on Thursday, December 8, 2022, bringing back a new champion for the second time in a row after the fall of the mighty Cris Pannullo. The champion who defeated Pannullo lasted only one game, giving the edge to Ron Cheung, who had won the previous round by a razor-thin margin. Still, a win is a win.
In the upcoming round, Ron Cheung, an economics professor from Lakewood, Ohio, will try to extend his streak against Sriram Krishnan, a consultant from Falls Church, Virginia, and A.Z. Madonna, a music journalist from Malden, Massachusetts. Cheung earned $19,599 in the previous round and will look forward to adding to his tally.
Widely considered one of the greatest game shows of all time, Jeopardy! dates back to the early 1960s. Over the many years of its existence, it has become one of the most decorated game shows in the country and around the world.

But what makes it truly unique is that it allows viewers from around the world to be a part of the action from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's airtime. However, as that can often be a tedious task, we have compiled every relevant detail, including the solution to the final question for the upcoming round below.
