Hit game shows “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” will temporarily nix audiences as a protective measure against the spread of coronavirus, a report said.
The two shows will start filming without the live audiences on Tuesday, sources told TMZ.
A number of factors played into the “Jeopardy!” audience ban, including the well-being of 79-year-old host Alex Trebek, who’s battling pancreatic cancer, the report said.
Audiences for both game shows also tend to be elderly and travel from out of town to attend the filmings, the report said.

I guess they don't really need the audience for these types of shows. Bad news for those guys who want to see those cute Jeopardy girls in real person.
