Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 20th Century Presidential Elections) for Wednesday, July 18, 2018 (Season 34, Episode 223):
The last election in which both major party candidates were former state governors was in this year
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Caitlion O’Neill, a vegan cheesemaker from New Orleans, Louisiana
Kyle Adams, a communications manager from Monument, Colorado
Ryan Fenster, a student from SeaTac, Washington (5-day total: $113,798)
Ryan is quite high on our ToC Tracker; see where Ryan finds himself on the list here!
Ryan was brought back yesterday because the judges reversed themselves on a ruling of “schism” vs. “Great Schism” in the February 2 game. Others who have won an interrputed five games (having won at least once, then coming back, and winning again) include Bob Mesko in 2006 and Tom Nichols in 1994.
On the most recent episode of #JeopardyLivePanel, I interviewed Ali Hasan! Check out the interview here (or on Apple Podcasts!).
Correct response: What is 1980?

More information about Final Jeopardy:
Every election from 2004 back to 1984 had at least one former state governor as a major party presidential candidate (George W. Bush in 2004 and 2000, Bill Clinton in 1996 and 1992, Michael Dukakis in 1988, and Ronald Reagan in 1984), but their opponents in each case had never been governor.
The 1980 election, however, was contested between Ronald Reagan (former California governor) and Jimmy Carter (former Georgia governor). Reagan won.
