Warning: This page will contain spoilers for the May 8, 2023, first game of Jeopardy! Masters if you’re in the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. It will be updated alongside the Eastern Time airing of the show, beginning at about 8:00 PM Eastern.
This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (0 points)
Matt Amodio, a postdoctoral researcher from Cambridge, Massachusetts (0 points)
Amy Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California (0 points)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
The opening game of Jeopardy! Masters will see Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, and Andrew He do battle. In case you have missed this gameplay wrinkle, Ken Jennings will be announcing where the Daily Doubles are placed at the start of each round for the benefit of the home audience. Additionally, the winner of this game will be placed in Game #4 (the second game played tomorrow night) and will receive 3 standings points; second place will receive 1 point, and third place 0 points.
This is another reminder that this episode airs on ABC in the United States and CTV2 in Canada. This may be different from the station you normally watch Jeopardy! on, depending on where you live.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
