“Jeopardy!” executive producer Michael Davies wants to clear the air after facing criticism in September for a proposed rule change to the game show.
Davies added at the time that the suggested rule change would be an incentive that wouldn’t impact who wins the game.
“Jeopardy!” fans asked on social media if the change was “too big” to be a good idea, while others hoped the incentives would not impact the game’s score.
“It doesn’t need to be reined in yet because it hasn’t been enacted in any way,” he said. “But a lot of responses on social [media] to award a prize of some sort to people who run a category on Jeopardy! That would not … would not affect gameplay.”
“It would not add to that game total; it would not be there [on players’ scores],” Davies continued. “It would be a separate thing.”
