Correct response: Who is Jimmy Hoffa?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Former Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa disappeared without a trace on July 30, 1975 in the parking lot of a Detroit suburb.
It was long rumored that Hoffa’s body was buried under Giants Stadium, but that was an urban legend.
His disappearance is referenced by Matt Carberry’s Complete the List archive; he has called categories which have remained unplayed and not returned as “the Hoffa list”.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer on Wednesday, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to Alex Trebek’s preferred charity. (The de facto alumni association is currently inquiring with the show in order to determine Alex Trebek’s preferred charity; this will be updated when that has been determined.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 120 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.3709 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5373).
An average of 6.1044 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.9023).
An early cutoff took place 2.577% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Conor Murphy qualified 1.417% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 89.580% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 74.582% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 51.200% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 24.688% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 6.463% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.946% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
In his interview, Conor spoke of his undergraduate thesis, researched at Cooperstown. It was about the Federal League, which ran from 1914 to 1915, and can be found at University of Notre Dame Journal of Undergraduate Research (it begins on page 187, in the “Online Edition”.)
- I feel as though this is a Final Jeopardy that will play easier for many of the audience at home, especially the older viewers who would have lived during the time of Hoffa’s disappearance.
- Kudos to Conor for knowing that the situation dictated the small wager.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Conor 30.61% (15/49), Dana 36.73% (18/49), Josh 32.65% (16/49).
