- Jeopardy! around the world
Since the quiz show "Jeopardy!" premiered in the United States in 1964, many other countries have produced their own international adaptations of the show.
Countries with versions of the show past and present
Other notes
In addition to the listed foreign versions above, the American version of "Jeopardy!" is distributed internationally and airs across the world. It airs across Canada on CBC Television (except CBET in Windsor, Ontario, due to Detroit rightsholder WDIV-TV). [http://www.cbc.ca/jeopardy/] Unlike most American game shows that air in Canada, Canadians are eligible to appear as contestants on the American version.
"Jeopardy!" has also occasionally held international tournaments that allow the champions of each country's versions to compete against each other for big money.
In Belize, the local Social Security Board since 2006 has sponsored a National Math Olympiad, whose gameplay is based on that of Jeopardy!, although the categories all have something to do with math.
