Season 37 Jeopardy! contestants - where they're from

The main table includes all players who made their first appearance on Jeopardy! in 2020-21. Thus, they don't take into account:

• Zach Newkirk, the winner of the final four games of Season 36; he did not defend in this season's opener due to ongoing travel concerns occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic. He returned to defend on January 28, 2021 and won two additional games.
• The 2021 Tournament of Champions field (those fifteen players originally appeared in Season 36, or earlier in Season 37; a separate table appears at the bottom for this field)

Beginning in Week 3, Jeopardy! revived the practice of allowing contestants to be introduced as "originally from" a location other than their current residence, which had been ended in 2016. At least for now, this table will not separate out based on the style of introduction; wherever a player is billed as being from, that's what ends up in the table.

What's here:

• Contestants by media market
• Contestants by state/province
• 2021 Tournament of Champions

The tables below reflect updated market size estimates for 2020–21; those figures are larger for all markets on account of Nielsen updating its methodology to account for broadband-only (BBO) homes.

Complete for all of Season 37, including the separate table for the Tournament of Champions. (Other than the ToC, there was no special play in this season.)
