Filming timespan of Jeopardy!?

Most Game Shows are filmed with live audiences. A popular and long running example is Jeopardy!, others being Family Feud, Who wants to be A millionaire, and a recent one is The Chase. Some of these shows embrace the live bit when the host or contestant mess up, so they include the blooper in the episode. All of these typically have a "we'll be right back after the commercial break" so they stop the action. These are ways of dealing with its televised nature while having a live audience. My questions is how does the final outcome of Jeopardy!, the 22 minute long televised episode, compared to the taping of it? - A typical episode is 22 of air time, but how long do they film in a given day? Just one episode per day? - How long do commercial pauses last? Unlike a News show which is live, so any pauses would be in real time, a game show is not restrained to 2~3 minutes before they have to go back on air. - Are retakes done at all? Are they common?Considering Jeopardy! is like the Golden Standard for game shows, I suspect any other is similar to it.
