Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Places In The American Past) for December 6-7, 2025 (Season 41, Game 158):
It’s the building where the Stax Records classic “Knock On Wood” was written but it’s remembered for other reasons

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Your Jeopardy weekend game this weekend takes us back to Andrew Hayes’s sixth game, where he looked to pick up victory #6 against Brenden Monroe & Denise LeBlanc-Bock.
Meanwhile, I’d like to revisit yesterday’s game, specifically the “two credited correct responses” situation and how a lot of viewers think it’s inherently unfair. I would posit that these viewers are looking at the situation too narrowly, with just an eye to that specific situation, and not the rulebook as a whole. The rulebook contains an analogous opposite situation—chiefly, if a response is disallowed after a stoppage or is taken away later, opposing players lose the opportunity to rebound. Thus, in my viewpoint, due to this analogous opposite situation, the entirety of the rule is ultimately fair to all involved. This also reinforces the point that complaints about yesterday’s outcome on social media—especially when they are amplified to hundreds of publications across the country through both news syndication agreements and outright recap plagiarism—need to be handled before contestants are left feeling that people are calling their victories into doubt. (And yes, contestants have been left feeling disappointed in the past when victories are put into doubt.)

Now the location of the National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis’s Lorraine Motel was the site where, on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. The Lorraine also housed a number of prominent recording artists when they would be recording music at Stax Records in Memphis, explaining its tie-in to the music industry.
For what it’s worth, with regard to all of the complaints regarding difficulty that happened when this clue initially aired, I still believe those complaints are unfounded. One of the reasons why a trivia question is written is because the writer thinks the players—in this case, both players in the game and the viewing audience at home—should know the answer and should learn about the subject. I would say that the Lorraine Motel is an important location in Black history and civil rights, and thus, it’s inherently a location that all Americans should know.
