Most recently, UK viewers were not impressed with the show's latest ‘unwatchable' episodes, with many convinced that the series will be axed.

Jeopardy! originated as an American television series which launched in 1964.

The show's original daytime format, hosted by Art Fleming, aired on NBC until 1975.

After a three-year hiatus, the series was revived for a 21-week run with a slightly different format from 1978 to 1979.

During its time on US screens, Jeopardy proved to be a big success and earned the title of 'America's most award-winning game show' with 74 Emmy nominations, 32 wins and a George Foster Peabody Award under its belt.

Watch Jeopardy! on ITV1 and ITVX from Monday 1st January 2024.
