I also don't really understand how the strike impacted Jeopardy. I don't get it. Why did they have to switch to tourney formats?

The people in the tournament of champions (like Ben Chan, Panullo, Lalonde etc...) refused to play with recycled clues. So they had to stall. They ran 2nd chance tournaments until the writers came back (because 2nd chance players will play no matter what). They ran 10+ tournaments with hundred of players over 6 months to qualify 6 players to the TOC.
Lucas Partridge is the current 3-day champion. His 3rd win was aired July 28, 2023. He's had to wait until April, 2024 to continue.
