"This tournament was created because JEOPARDY! is committed to showing appreciation for our teachers, and this year's edition carries even more significance as educators everywhere face a whole new set of challenges," host Alex Trebek said in a statement.

The tournament will air from May 25 to June 5 on WBZ-TV.
