Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results and will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early to late evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

The two roles were Richard Nixon in 1995’s Nixon and John Quincy Adams in 1997’s Amistad.

Readers of Prisoner of Trebekistan will recall Bob Harris’ lamenting after his Tournament of Champions about not having gone to see Amistad in theatres, as he would have likely gotten Final Jeopardy! in Game 1 of the Tournament of Champions final correct had he done so (an evening out to see it was offered to him, but was declined.)
