Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Happy Thanksgiving! Despite what the clickbait tabloid media will try to tell you, Jeopardy! was not taken off the air. It is still airing episodes today and tomorrow. That being said, Thanksgiving-related programming, sporting or otherwise, is causing a schedule change today in a number of mid-sized and smaller markets. Make sure you check Matt Carberry’s Google sheet for more information about any potential schedule changes in your area, and do note that “first airing” could be as early as 10:30 AM Eastern this morning, and that results will be posted shortly after that first airing has concluded. At least next-day streaming on Hulu, Peacock, and Crave TV is a thing, and even if the show is moved around and you miss it, you can at least stay caught up thanks to streaming.
Now that the schedule stuff is out of the way, Harrison Whitaker is now a 12-time Jeopardy! champion as he makes his way up a number of leaderboards, including wins, money won, and correct responses. Looking to stop him are Paul Wenzel of Pennsylvania and Nicole Haase of Wisconsin.

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.)
Endgame titles Samuel Beckett’s absurdist 1957 play, dealing with the elderly Hamm, his servant Clov, his father Nagg, and his mother Nell, as they await the end of their lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It shares its name with the second part of the title of the highest-grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (2019’s Avengers: Endgame, also one of the highest-grossing films of all time.)
One question I always ask myself going into games when we have a superchampion: could this be the last clue the champion sees in regular play? And I must say, I think this would be a particularly ironic last clue if it ended up being the case.

The only absurdist play I could think of in 30 seconds was “Rhinoceros” by Ionesco, although I couldn’t match it up with a movie title.
Ken announced on yesterday’s show that it’s been exactly 24 years since they doubled the dollar values on the game board, so I assume that all of the top winners listed on this page competed after 2001.
24 years since changing the amounts of prize board!?
IMHO, with inflation and cost of living having gone
up just a tad since 2001, I think Sony could afford some
increases on the board, especially when you figure Sony’s
savings on Alex’s v Ken’s salary.
