As this year’s Teachers Tournament comes to a close today with either Kaberi Chakrabarty, Jill Gilbert or Jason Sterlacci winning $100,000, we begin to turn our focus to Jeopardy’s Power Players Week. The veteran syndicated game show marks its second week at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. with 15 of the most influential political and comedic news-making media figures competing in five games. The winner of each game will receive a minimum of $50,000 to their charity and the runner-ups earning $10,000.
