Despite a video leaking online which revealed the result of Monday night’s dramatic “Jeopardy!” episode, the game show still managed to post record ratings figures.
Last night’s episode scored a 10.1 household rating in overnight metered markets, the highest rating its has achieved by that measurement in 14 years (a June 2005 episode drew a 10.30).
