Jeopardy’s three biggest champions are preparing for a showdown to determine once and for all, who is the greatest of all time.

Hosted by Alex Trebek, the three champions will compete in a series of matches and the first to win three will receive $1 million and the title of “JEOPARDY! The Greatest of All Time.”
The runner-ups will receive $250,000 each.
