“We can't wait to get out on the road and bring a unique JEOPARDY! experience directly to fans, and we couldn't be more excited to kick off this tour at Edge,” said JEOPARDY! executive producer Michael Davies. “The original JEOPARDY! pilot episode was shot in New York City way back in 1964, so it's fitting that we are bringing our 60th Diamond Celebration back to where it all began.”
“We're honored to be the first stop on the nationwide JEOPARDY! Tour in celebration of 60 years of such an iconic American show,” says Douglas Trueblood, Vice President Marketing, Hudson Yards Experiences. “The unparalleled views of New York City that Edge offers will serve as a perfect backdrop for an evening that will bring together fans to enjoy one of their favorite pastimes.”
Rising 1,131 feet in the air and extending out 65 feet from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors can enjoy a toast in the sky with champagne from Edge's bar, and for an elevated dining experience, Peak is a stunning restaurant, bar and event space on the 101st floor right above Edge. Edge is also home to City Climb, the highest external building climb in the world. Located atop the sky deck, City Climb challenges guests to scale the outside of a 1,200+ foot supertall building, then lean out from the outdoor platform at the top of the skyscraper.
