Jeopardy! fans must remember the newest game board on the show. It was announced a few days ago, and a few "newest" updates can be seen on the game show.
Recent changes include a new Jeopardy! board, an additional TV screen placed between the host and the players, the "purple, white blend" wallpaper, and more.
The floor also had a different "circular" outline from the previous bronze strip. Long-time hard-core Jeopardy! fans noticed these "newest stage" updates and reacted to the upgrades via social media platforms.
While some fans shared their thoughts via X, others took to the Reddit discussion board and shared what they have noticed so far.
A fan wrote on X, referring to the "new set" of Jeopardy!,
"Podium changes for the new set - they replaced the starry sky pattern with a blue-white ombre! #Jeopardy."
Another fan shared,
"I just watched last night's #Jeopardy episode. This was Final Jeopardy — #OMG! Are all the planets aligning for the #Mets?!"
An X user wrote about the "starry sky pattern."
"Podium changes for the new set - they replaced the starry sky pattern with a blue-white ombre! #Jeopardy."
An X user commented on the host's new "position,"
"Ken also has a new position at the top of the show... previously his lectern would not be visible during his intro #Jeopardy."
One more fan shared,
"NEW JEOPARDY SET DESIGN and Ken is finally allowed to roam free! Even walking backwards while switching contestant cards! #Jeopardy."
A fan wrote,
"#Jeopardy Set Upgrades."
One more fan commented,
"I'm a fan of the starry sky pattern too!"
The fans also shared their views via various discussion boards on Reddit.
One of the Reddit discussion boards @Jeopardy by Gravity9802 initiated a discussion on October 15, 2024, and shared information about Jeopardy!'s updated set.
A detailed description was given, including the set changes and what could be "visually" noticed on the set. The discussion started by outlining,
"New Jeopardy board, New TV screen & mount between Ken & the players, Wallpaper that wraps around the lecterns has been changed from blue to a "purple, white blend", The floor now has a circular outline instead of the bronze-coloured strip used from the GOAT Tournament up until last week."
It continued further with more details:
"Category is highlighted when it's being selected (used in Celebrity Jeopardy & Masters this year), The blue background that shows the players' response & wager are shorter in length, Ken's standing position (when he walks out onto the stage at the start & standing closer to the champion lectern after the game's done").
To the same threat, another Reddit user Fromomo replied,
"Also feels like they just turned the lights up. Everything seems brighter and there was a lot of glare off Ken for the first shot after he walks out and is recapping the last game."
One more user, JONO202 wrote,
"Also noticed that Ken is now walking closer to the contestants podiums than before, during their introductions."
Another Jeopardy! fan Labenyofi wrote,
"Something else, that while I don't know if it's new, but it definitely looks new: The numbers on the board are in a yellow/orange font, rather than white like before."
