Jeopardy! fans left devastated after beloved gameshow goes on hiatus: 'I'm crying'
Jeopardy! is officially on a break for the summer and there will not be any new episodes until September. The beloved game show, fronted by Ken Jennings, concluded its 41st series last week with an epic season finale that saw 16-game champion Scott Riccardi lose to Jonathan Hugendubler. As of Monday, the program has returned to airing reruns – as is typical during the summer – to fill the void. Over the next six weeks, viewers will be able to watch reruns of the Tournament of Champions (TOC) and the Second Chance/Champions Wildcard (JIT) episodes. The JIT rerun coverage will end on Thursday, September 4, and then the final game of season 41 will air on September 5. Jeopardy! season 42 will commence on September 8. Taking to Instagram to announce the summer schedule, the show's official account said: 'It feels like summer. Which means Jeopardy! reruns are in full effect.' While some fans were enthusiastic, others declared they will not be watching old episodes. 'No thanks, I'll come back in September for the new season,' one commented. 'I don't watch reruns. Have a nice summer.' 'Good reason to take a break,' noted another, while a third added, 'BRB crying. But enjoy the summer!' Last week's season 41 finale saw Scott lose to Jonathan by just one dollar. During the episode, Scott entered Final Jeopardy with $10,000 more than his opponent – but disaster struck when the clue was read out. Addressing the players in the category titled 20th Century Names, Ken said: 'According to one obituary, in 1935 he owned 13 magazines, eight radio stations, two movie companies, and $56 million in real estate.' While the correct answer was William Randolph Hearst, Scott incorrectly guessed: 'Who is Howard Hughes?' Luckily for Jonathan, his wager was one dollar higher and he became the new champion with $23,601 while Scott finished the game with $18,600. Addressing his Final Jeopardy in a thread on Reddit, Scott said that his mind 'unfortunately went straight to Howard Hughes mostly due to overestimating the importance of the movie companies part of the clue.' He continued: 'Truthfully, I was just especially unprepared to respond correctly to a clue about Hearst. 'I made a mental note before flying out that I was consistently forgetting to consider, of all things, Citizen Kane and the Tower of London as responses whenever they came up in archived practice clues; in the green room that week, I reminded myself about the Tower of London but could not remember the other half of that mental note.' 'Also, before I started my prep for the show in earnest, I had found that I was having a hard time properly retaining info on what I found to be a confusing amount of three-named Williams in publishing (William Randolph Hearst, William Lloyd Garrison, and William F. Buckley, to name a few), never circling back to that thought after I got the call to be on the show,' Scott added. 'So several information near-misses and a poor understanding of the timeline in the clue really piled up to prevent me from getting what I now understand to be a very gettable clue.'

Second round of Pofma sanctions for owner of The Online Citizen's website, social media accounts
Second round of Pofma sanctions for owner of The Online Citizen's website, social media accounts Source: Straits Times Article Date: 12 Jun 2025 Author: Aqil Hamzah This is the second time that The Online Citizen has been slapped with the declaration, with its first due to expire in July 2025. The people behind The Online Citizen's (TOC) website and Facebook, Instagram and X pages will continue to be barred from deriving any financial benefits from the running of its platforms till 2027. In a statement on June 11, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) said TOC's website and social media pages – which were labelled as Declared Online Locations (DOLs) – had been declared as such in July 2023, and the designation was due to expire on July 21, 2025. DOLs have to comply with actions under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) that would prevent their operator from financially benefiting during the period they are listed as one. However, said MDDI, TOC 'continued to communicate falsehoods through its online platforms over the past two years'. Between July 2023 and June 2025, it received eight correction directions under the fake news law. These included one on Feb 25, after TOC published an article about modification works at the Ridout Road colonial bungalow leased by Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam's wife. In its article, it said the Singapore Land Authority had given Mr Shanmugam assurances of a lease extension beyond its 2027 expiry, and that public funds were used to pay for the earthworks carried out at the bungalow since 2024, among other claims. These are falsehoods, said MDDI. As a result of the eight correction directions, TOC's website and social media pages have again been labelled DOLs, a move necessary 'to ensure Singaporeans continue to be alerted to TOC's record of communicating falsehoods', said the ministry. The new declaration comes into effect immediately after the current direction expires and will remain till July 21, 2027 at 12pm. TOC will be able to continue its operations, but will have to carry a notice on its online platforms to notify its audience that it has been declared a DOL. The notice will also have to state that it had 'communicated multiple falsehoods' and that its viewers should exercise caution when accessing it for information. MDDI added that service providers, including digital advertising agencies, will have to take steps to ensure that their paid content on TOC's platforms is not made available in Singapore. 'Individuals and companies must also not provide financial support to TOC's DOLs to avoid promoting the communication of falsehoods in Singapore on these platforms,' it added. There are three other outlets currently listed as DOLs. They are Transformative Justice Collective's website and social media pages, and Gutzy Asia's website and social media pages, as well as opposition politician Kenneth Jeyaretnam's website and social media pages. A provision under Pofma allows the Government to order an internet intermediary to disable access to a DOL if the owner of the DOL does not comply with the declaration and paid content on the site continues to be displayed to users here. If an internet intermediary fails to comply and is convicted, it can be fined up to $20,000 for each day that the government order is not fully complied with, up to a total of $500,000. The owner or operator of a DOL can however apply to the Minister for Digital Development and Information to suspend, vary or cancel the declaration. If the minister rejects the application, an appeal can be made to the High Court. Aqil Hamzah is a journalist covering breaking news at The Straits Times, with interests in crime and technology.
