"It says right there in the paperwork — once you’re on this competition, only come back if you’re invited," said Kukoyi. This reunion might have happened a bit sooner had circumstances not gotten in the way; he caught COVID-19 just in time for Jeopardy!’s High School Reunion Tournament. However, the show's producers actually assured him, "We’ll have you back for something later."
