The main table includes all players who made their first appearance on Jeopardy! in 2021-22. Thus, they don't take into account Matt Amodio, the winner of the last eighteen games of Season 37.
Jeopardy! is continuing the practice, revived last season, 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.
The contestants in the Professors Tournament are listed by the location of the school where they teach.
What's here:
(Credits: Zap2it & TitanTV for TV schedules for each market; John Coryat (yes, that's actually the last name) for ZIP code maps; ThinkTV for a listing of Canadian market sizes, enabling me to rank them properly with the U.S. markets; and Google Earth for county mapping information.)
Complete for all of Season 38 (2022-07-29).
