Jeopardy!

The ESRB rating for a 'Jeopardy!' video game notes 'Violent References' in its content descriptors. An example clue cited referred to 'Dozens of journalists were killed in a November, 2009 massacre in this country's Magiondanoa Province.'. Another trivia question in the game alluded to a historical figure who 'stabbed the king and made him drink poison.'.

As a long-running game show, 'Jeopardy!' adheres to broadcast standards that strictly limit romantic or sexual content. Any personal details shared by contestants during their interviews with the host are kept brief, non-suggestive, and family-appropriate, typically focusing on hobbies, professions, or quirky facts, rather than relationships or romantic entanglements.

Contestant Austin Rogers was bleeped during a September 2017 episode after finding a Daily Double and using mild expletives while deliberating his wager, which host Alex Trebek acknowledged by stating it 'we'll have to bleep' what he said. Similarly, a contestant named Vincent was bleeped during a July 13, 2018 episode for using inappropriate language.

The game show's format is entirely secular and fact-based, with categories covering general knowledge, history, science, and arts. There is no evidence from official ratings, parental reviews, or fan communities to suggest the presence of witchcraft or occult themes.

The ESRB rating for a 'Jeopardy!' video game includes 'Alcohol and Tobacco Reference.' One example clue cited in the rating referred to 'Ron Wood's wife gave this [Rolling] Stones guitarist 12 bottles of organic vodka'. Another example mentioned 'Old-school inhalant to give you a nicotine rush,' with the answer being 'Snuff'.

The structure and intent of 'Jeopardy!' are to test knowledge in a studio setting. There are no jump scares, graphic imagery, or narrative elements that would be considered scary or intense for viewers of any age. The focus remains on the intellectual challenge and contestant performance.

In April 2021, contestant Kelly Donohue used a hand gesture during his introduction that some viewers found offensive, interpreting it as a white power symbol, though Donohue stated it indicated his number of wins. This led to public discussion among former contestants. In the same week, Donohue used a term considered a slur for the Roma people in a response, which guest host Anderson Cooper noted on air, highlighting the sensitivity around terminology.
