On the popular American quiz show “Jeopardy,” the question might read: These people can compete once again.

The answer: Who are Canadian contestants?

“Jeopardy” host Alex Trebeck, who was born in Ontario, says in a news release that he’s pleased Canadians will be allowed to apply for the show once again.

Privacy laws had prohibited Canucks from the online test site, but Trebeck says he looks forward to seeing more of his fellow citizens  on the show soon.

Benn Millman of Port Moody, B.C., was on “Jeopardy” last season, and thought he might be the final Canadian to participate unless the show changed its rules.

Registration for online contestant testing opened Monday for the show’s 33rd season in syndication.
