Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Business & Television) for Wednesday, April 30, 2025 (Season 41, Game 168):
This TV show that debuted in 1960 licensed its name 8 years later to a childrens’ health product that’s still around today
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Roni Ackner, a product manager from Brooklyn, New York
|
Jordan Stefanski, a psychiatric nurse from Dunellen, New Jersey
|
Ben Ganger, a data analyst from Goshen, Indiana (1-day total: $24,999)
|
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After one of the more impressive opening rounds of all time (only a handful of players have ever picked up 23 or more correct responses in a single round), Ben Ganger took a debut victory in yesterday’s game. Today, he defends his title for the first time against Brooklyn’s Roni Acker and New Jersey’s Jordan Stefanski.
Fans get a double dose of the show today as well, with Jeopardy! Masters returning to the airwaves this evening. Those festivities begin at 9:00 (8:00 Central) on ABC in the United States, CTV2 in Canada, and streaming on Hulu beginning tomorrow.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The first-ever American animated prime time sitcom, The Flintstones was a Hanna-Barbera animated series that aired from 1960 to 1966, and later became beloved for generations in reruns. Shortly after the show’s cancellation, onetime show sponsor Miles Laboratories (known at the time for their One-A-Day vitamins) introduced Flintstones Chewable Vitamins, multivitamin tablets for children in the shape of characters from the show; these vitamins are still sold today.
I really enjoyed this Final Jeopardy clue today and I think it will definitely generate a good deal of nostalgia amongst the viewing audience.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, April 30, 2025 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Stately Geographic; Religion; A Vowel Of Silence; Winemaker’s Glossary; Exercise Your…; Demons)
Roni ran the DEMONS category for her only correct responses of the opening segment. Ben picked up 7 correct, including a True Daily Double, to lead at the interviews. Your scores: Ben $5,000 Roni $2,800 Jordan $1,400.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Ben 7 correct 1 incorrect
Roni 5 correct 1 incorrect
Jordan 2 correct 1 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Roni worked in Culver City for two years.
Jordan encountered Jennifer Coolidge in London’s West End.
Ben finished 94th of 94 players in a disc golf tournament, shooting +47.
Ben is definitely better at Jeopardy than he is at disco golf; he picked up another 11 correct after the break to hold a big lead. How will he fare in Double Jeopardy, though?
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Ben 18 correct 2 incorrect
Roni 5 correct 3 incorrect
Jordan 3 correct 2 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Ben $10,000
Roni $1,600
Jordan $1,400
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Historic Buildings; Sun Songs; Art Collectors; World Universities; Literary Characters; ____ The ____)
After a bit of a hunt, Roni found DD2, but fell back to $0 with an incorrect response. Ben found DD3, cementing a runaway with his correct response there. Despite 16 combined incorrect responses and 16 Triple Stumpers, we saw 0 unplayed clues today—certainly a credit to Ken’s strong hosting skils. We definitely would have seen at least a half dozen unplayed clues with a different host. Also, credit should go to all three players for being in the black going into Final Jeopardy.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Ben 27 correct 5 incorrect
Roni 10 correct 6 incorrect
Jordan 6 correct 5 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 30 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Ben $16,100
Roni $1,600
Jordan $1,000
Jordan and Ben were correct in Final (as it turns out, thankfully for Ben, considering his familial connection to these vitamins—check the comments!) He’ll go for win #3 tomorrow!
Tonight’s results:
Jordan $1,000 – $0 = $1,000 (What is The Flintstones?)
Roni $1,600 – $0 = $1,600 (What is Sesame Street)

Got this one, but went over the allotted time.
I was given flintstones vitamins as a kid – and got this right away. Back in those days, there was no Betty Rubble in the vitamins – word had it that her waist was too small so she was hard to manufacture as a vitamin with breaking in production.
How many people are going to be excited by this Final Jeopardy?
“Ten million strong…” No, no, I’m not going there, this is not “and grooooowing… :)”
Look, if the jingle’s stuck in my head, I’m sticking it in yours.
Hey, that’s me! Fun fact, Miles Laboratories was located in the next town over from where I grew up. Apparently my great-grandfather worked on the production line for these vitamins!
Cool connection! Congrats on the win!!!
Hi, Ben!
Congratulations on your two very impressive victories thus far; I hope to see you keep going for quite a while, or at least until ToC qualification! 🙂
Awesome job Ben! I should have known the answer as my mom gave me these vitamins as a kid, but I didn’t!
Look forward to seeing if you can get win #3. Retro congrats to ya!
Oh boy, I should have gotten this one as I do take 2 Flintstones with Iron multivitamins each and every day. Shame on me for not knowing this one.
This was a really tough game board and Ben is an incredible competitor, I wish I’d had a better game but I don’t feel bad about this result at all.
Hi Roni! I am impressed by any and all who make it to the Alex Trebek stage. So congrats to you for that! 🙂 I have been to 4 tapings and they are a blast to go to.
Just a question if you don’t mind. What would you say was the most fun part of being on the show?
Hey, Roni! I love hearing from the contestants. From your FJ! response, I was wondering if you were thinking of a printed variety of “Band-Aids”. I nearly didn’t get it because I was thinking the cartoon began a couple years later than 1960, but it made for such a good response that I (correctly) assumed my dates were off and “went with it”.
Given the wagers of both Roni and Jordan, it seems neither was concerned about the difference between second and third place money.
I was just happy to be there!
Thanks for chiming in. Great attitude.
Early sixties tv, later name of a health care product. Immediately thought the Flintstones, I’m just young enough to not remember the original run( and the fact we didn’t get a tv til 69) but I remember the ads for the vitamins.
Like you, I immediately thought the Flintstones, too. Unlike you, I am old enough to remember the original run. We watched it on an old black and white console TV. Never saw color TV until sometime in the 1980’s. Andy was right on, this was nostalgic.
I had this Final Jeopardy almost as soon as Ken finished reading the answer clue. To me, this was an “What else could it be?” final. There are (were) other children’s vitamins produced in the shape of tv cartoon characters, but Flinstones vitamins were the first.
Nice to see 2 of tonight’s contestants make comments here today! 🙂 Thank you both!
