‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Notice Change That May Impact Who Wins

  • A Jeopardy! Fan noticed a difference in the buzzer lights during Brad Rutter's recent appearances on the show that sparked discussion in 2025.
  • This observation led to questions about when Jeopardy! Switched its 'Hey, you can answer now' signal lights from incandescent bulbs to LEDs, believed to have started between 2010 and 2013.
  • The switch to LED lights is significant because LEDs activate faster than incandescent bulbs, potentially affecting contestants' buzzer timing and viewers' perceptions of the game.
  • A Reddit user remarked that the switch to LED lights has likely influenced the response timing for players over the years and expressed interest in pinpointing when this change took place, noting that the signals are clearly LEDs now.
  • The change suggests that the game dynamics and viewing experience could have been influenced since the transition, though the exact extent remains uncertain among fans.
