Season 39 Jeopardy! contestants - where they're from

The main table includes all players who made their first appearance on Jeopardy! in 2022-23. Thus, they exclude:

• Luigi de Guzman, the winner of the last game of Season 38
• The eighteeen competitors in the Second Chance Competition, all of whom appeared first in Season 37 or 38 (separate table at bottom)
• The twenty-one competitors in the Tournament of Champions, all of whom appeared first in Season 37 or 38 (separate table at bottom)
• The twenty-seven competitors in the High School Reunion Tournament, all of whom appeared first in one of the two Teen Tournaments in Season 35

Jeopardy! is continuing the practice, revived two seasons ago, of allowing contestants to be introduced as "originally from" a location other than their current residence, which had been ended in 2016; however, it is being used much more sparingly than in Season 37 or last season.

What's here:

• Contestants by media market
• Contestants by state/province
• 2022 Tournament of Champions
• 2022 Second Chance Competition

The tables below are newly updated with market size estimates for 2022–23.

Updated through Week 21 of Season 39 (2023-02-03), including the separate tables for Second Chance and the Tournament of Champions.
