Jeopardy!’s showrunner, Michael Davies, revealed that the game show will move forward with season 40 by reusing old questions and former contestants amid the ongoing writers’ strike.
“I believe, principally, that it would not be fair to have new contestants making their first appearance on the Alex Trebek Stage, doing it with non-original material, or as we’ll talk about a combination of non-original material and material that was written pre-strike,” said Davies on the Monday, August 7, episode of his “Inside Jeopardy!” podcast. “And so we decided that really we needed to invite back and give a second chance in general to players who probably thought that their chance to come back and play on the Alex Trebek Stage had gone forever.”
Davies went on to explain that the show would use “a combination of material” that Jeopardy!’s WGA writers created before the strike occurred and mix in with questions from “multiple seasons of the show.”
Before the Writer’s Guild of America strike started in May, the show initially planned on doing its annual “Tournament of Champions.” However, several participants — including 13-time winner Ray LaLonde — announced they would not participate to stand in solidarity with the writers guild.
“I am a lifelong devoted fan of Jeopardy!. I am and will always be grateful for the experience I had on the show and the opportunity to participate in the [‘Tournament of Champions’] is beyond a dream come true for me,” LaLonde wrote via Reddit in July. “As a supporter of the trade union movement, a union member’s son and a proud union member myself, I have informed the show’s producers that if the strike remains unresolved I will not cross a picket line to play in the tournament of champions.”

Tom Sandoval wants to pay for his mistakes. In the new season 2 trailer for Fox's intense reality series, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, the star is seen having a physical altercation that leads to him getting a bloody nose.
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer The 2023 writers strike has focused attention on recent developments like artificial intelligence and the transition to streaming. But for film writers, the key issue in the strike has been a constant battle for more than a generation: How do you get paid for a script once it’s finished? Screenwriters have long been asked to do free revisions before turning in a “first draft” to the studio, which triggers payment. Typically they agree, even though the Writers Guild of America contract sets out minimum rates for revisions and polishes.
