Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Jeopardy! has been given a second broadcasting home for 2025.
The popular game show will be airing re-runs of season 39 hosted by Ken Jennings on the Game Show Network (GSN). This will include the championship runs by Ray Lalonde and Cris Pannullo.
The news was broken by the GSN Instagram page on Monday, December 23. The account wrote, “The newest addition to the Game Show Network line up? What is… @jeopardy! Jeopardy! with Ken Jennings starting Monday, January 13 at 9p on Game Show Network!”
The last time Jeopardy! aired regularly on GSN was in 2013, which showed episodes from the show’s 25th season. There was a selection of Jeopardy! episodes that aired on GSN in 2020 in tribute to former host, Alex Trebek.
GSN will air the Jeopardy! reruns every weekday at 9pm, with two episodes playing in each slot. This will replace reruns of Wheel of Fortune, which has since moved to 2pm. As noted, the announcement only mentions the Ken Jennings-hosted episodes of season 39 and not the ones hosted by Mayim Bialik, who was dropped from the program in December 2023.
Jeopardy! will continue airing newer episodes in syndication on NBC, alongside a range of spin-off tournaments. This includes upcoming events like Second Chance, Champion’s Wildcard, the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, and the Tournament of Champions.
However, the classic Trebek-era of Jeopardy! episodes are still looking for a home after its previous home, Pluto TV, pulled the channel that it aired on. The official Jeopardy! Instagram account promised fans that it would find a home for the classic episodes after fan backlash to the Pluto TV news.
