No, Jeopardy! does not provide the contestants with information pertaining to the categories they may encounter during their game. Categories are randomly assigned months/weeks before contestants are chosen for a specific episode in order to eliminate any appearance of collusion. That is why sometimes you may see categories that are particularly beneficial to one contestant over another, such as when there is a Law Category and one of the contestants is a lawyer.
The definition of a game show is a televised program in which contestants compete in a game for prizes. A contestant can be the sole competitor such as in 'Deal or No Deal' or 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' or there can be multiple competitors vying for first place, such as on 'Family Feud' and 'Wheel of Fortune'. The game show winner receives cash or prizes depending on the game. 'Jeopardy' qualifies as a game show in that three contestants complete answers/questions, and the person with the most money in their bank at the end of the show wins.
