Jeopardy! to ride out the WGA strike with old questions and old contestants
But the runners-up will at least be getting more money than they used to

Somehow, Jeopardy! has become a lightning rod for issues surrounding TV production during the WGA strike, first with co-host Mayim Bialik refusing to cross the picket line right when the strike started out of respect to the WGA members who write Jeopardy!’s clues (Ken Jennings stayed on to host without her), then with Tournament Of Champions contestants refusing to take part in the show until the strike is resolved, and finally with a representative for producer Sony Pictures Television explaining that the show’s return had been delayed because of the strike (which was supposedly the plan the whole time) and that any new episodes filmed during the strike would exclusively use “the best” of the show’s WGA-written material—in other words, old clues would be repurposed for new episodes.
