‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Confused by Schedule Change as Champs Compete in Exhibition Game
Tournament of Champions aired a non-stakes Exhibition Game after the semi-finals, causing fan confusion since the practice match usually precedes later rounds, producers said.
- Fans and Reddit users reacted after the Exhibition Game aired on Thursday, January 29, 2026, featuring Scott Riccardi, Laura Faddah, and Paolo Pasco.
- The Exhibition Game is a non-stakes practice, and Jeopardy! producers scheduled it, while some viewers suggested earlier airings like January 30 or yesterday.
- Game records show Pasco wagered $1,118 and finished with $30,118, while Riccardi ended with $5,200 and Faddah with $2,400.
- Although the Exhibition Game does not count, Riccardi and Pasco will face TJ Fisher starting Monday, possibly gaining a small advantage in the finals.
- Viewers noted Friday episodes can have low ratings, so some fans proposed scheduling the non‑stakes Exhibition Game earlier, like on Tuesday or January 19, 2026, while the finals format allows up to seven games, with the first to three wins.
