Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 9, 2023, game of Jeopardy! — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. Please note that the game airs as early as noon Eastern in some U.S. television markets.
Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Actresses & Their Roles) for Tuesday, May 9, 2023 (Season 39, Game 172):
She made her big screen debut as a teen named Laurie in a 1978 film & in 2022 she played that role for the 7th & last time
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Joe Forti, a project manager originally from Windham, New Hampshire
Raquel Matta, a copy editor from San Pablo, California
Hannah Wilson, a data scientist from Chicago, Illinois (4-day total: $124,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Hannah Wilson of Chicago won her 4th game last night and has been averaging over $30,000 an episode. Regardless of what happens from here on out, I definitely think that Hannah is very capable of both a good regular-play run as well as a Tournament of Champions run. Today's challengers are Raquel Matta and Joe Forte; Raquel was a contestant on Sports Jeopardy! back in 2016.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Jamie Lee Curtis?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Jamie Lee Curtis, daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis one of the famed modern "scream queens", had a few guest roles on TV shows in the late 1970s, but she came to prominence with her first film role as Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's horror film Halloween. The film, a massive box-office success, saw Curtis reprise her role over half a dozen times.
I quite like this Final Jeopardy! clue—it's one of those clues that both has a modern angle (the reference to 2022s Halloween Ends) as well as feeling like it would be a worthy Final Jeopardy! clue in any of the show's 39 seasons.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I’ve already said what I need to in my recap above regarding Raquel’s bet; however, this also demonstrates why it’s not a good idea to make anything higher than the standard cover bet out of the lead.
Today’s box score: May 9, 2023 Box Score.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Hannah $26,000 Raquel $14,400 Joe $5,800)
Hannah: Standard cover bet over Raquel is $2,801. (Actual bet: $3,000)
Raquel: You must bet at least $8,801 to have any chance of winning. (Actual bet: $8,000)
Joe: Limit your bet to $199; that way, if Raquel makes her minimum suggested bet, you stay ahead of her. (Actual bet: $5,798)
