Season three, episode 136 of the television series Jeopardy!, identified as show number 591, features contestants Jackson Wheeler, Sara Fox, and John Ryan. Jeopardy! is a reality and family quiz show that presents general knowledge clues framed in the form of answers. Contestants are tested across rounds where clues are assigned dollar amounts that scale from lowest to highest, which ostensibly reflects their difficulty. The values of the clues increase over time, and the values in the Double Jeopardy round are always double the range of the standard Jeopardy round.

The program is part of the long-running quiz show format where participants compete by responding to clues with the correct questions. The series features direction by Kevin McCarthy, Dick Schneider, and John Lauderdale. On-screen personnel and staff associated with the production include host Alex Trebek, announcer Johnny Gilbert, and supporting figures Jimmy McGuire, Kelly Miyahara, and Sarah Whitcomb.

As a fixture of television programming, the quiz show challenges players to navigate various categories of general knowledge to accumulate monetary scores based on the assigned clue values. The specific outcome and progression of the gameplay for the match featuring Jackson Wheeler, Sara Fox, and John Ryan are defined by the format wherein contestants attempt to solve clues presented in the signature style of the series.
