Season-to-date, Jeopardy! is the second-highest rated show in syndication behind only CBS Television Distribution's Judge Judy, which has been the number-one show in first-run every year for the past decade.
Jeopardy! has been hosted by Alex Trebek, who is currently battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer, since 1984. Trebek made news and lit up Twitter late last week when he mistakenly referred to winning contestant Jessica Babbit as cartoon character Jessica Rabbit.
Meanwhile, Debmar-Mercury's Family Feud dipped 3% to a 6.1 tying CTD's Wheel of Fortune, which was flat for a third straight week.

Disney's internet video show RightThisMinute held at a 0.8 for the sixth straight week.
Elsewhere in access, none of the magazines improved due in part to preemptions from and competition with Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the 2020 primaries with one-third of all delegates awarded in 14 states and one territory.
CTD's Inside Edition remained at a 2.8 for the third straight week and finished just ahead of sister show Entertainment Tonight which downticked 4% to a 2.7.
NBCUniversal's Access Hollywood, which was bumped by election coverage in many markets, slipped 7% to a 1.3. Warner Bros.' TMZ stayed at a 1.1. Warner Bros.' Extra hung tough at a 0.9 despite 13 preemptions in the top 60 markets for super Tuesday and NHL hockey. CTD's DailyMailTV held its ground at a 0.8. Trifecta's Celebrity Page published a 0.2 for the 36th straight week.
In daytime, the top five court shows all lost ground. Judge Judy was in repeats for part of the week and dipped 3% to a 6.4 but still topped the gavelers for the 1,224th week in a row and tied Jeopardy! at the top of the overall chart.
