Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Sarah McCleskey, an academic librarian from Astoria, New York
Nabil Rahman, a government employee originally from Queens, New York
Adam Remsen, an attorney & theater producer from Memphis, Tennessee (2-day total: $35,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Adam Remsen has averaged 25 correct responses and just under 40 attempts a game, which has worked out well for him so far in picking up a pair of victories. Will that continue today, though, against Nabil Rahman of Queens and Sarah McCleskey of Astoria? I’m sure that the Facebook comment brigade will eventually be overly willing to share their opinions once this game is complete.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Hollywood Names
Final Jeopardy! Clue: He’s got 12 Oscar nominations & 2 wins & a Henry Mancini Award from ASCAP & in 2018 received the German Order of Merit

Correct response: Who is Hans Zimmer?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Hans Zimmer is one of the biggest names in modern film scoring, winning Oscars for his scores of The Lion King and Dune, with his recent body of work including his choice to score the Harry Potter TV series. Frankly, this choice does not come as a surprise to me, considering that Zimmer is alleged to have created a hostile work environment for—and quickly fired—musician Lauren Bousfield as soon as she came out as transgender.
While Zimmer has not crossed the “Rowling Line” (explicitly saying that continued cultural relevance is de facto promotion of personal viewpoints) and I therefore do not object to his being the subject of a clue the way I object to the inclusion of J.K. Rowling’s works, I also think it is important to note what I have about him today.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Adam 8 correct 0 incorrect
Sarah 3 correct 0 incorrect
Nabil 2 correct 0 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Sarah wants to win enough money to pay for a new kitchen in the Scottish farmhouse she owns.
Nabil flew on a plane for the first time to get to taping.
Adam had to turn down The Call in 2003.
Nabil found the Daily Double, but fell back to $0 with an incorrect response; Adam led through 30 on the strength of 4 correct in Nature and 3 correct in colorful language.

Adam 14 correct 0 incorrect
Sarah 6 correct 0 incorrect
Nabil 7 correct 1 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Fonts: Baptismal Edition; Writers’ Alma Maters; Whose What?; 5-Letter Adjectives; Ancient Names; Tele- Like It Is)
After Nabil missed DD2, Adam picked up 16 correct in the round, including DD3, to cruise to a runaway. He also ran Whose What? and picked up 3 in Tele- Like It Is.

Scores going into Final:
Adam $28,400
Sarah $6,000
Nabil $1,600
Had the Daily Doubles gone differently for Nabil, he might have ended up on top today, as he was the only player correct in Final. But it was not to be, as Adam wins as a result of his runaway and will go for win #4 tomorrow.
Tonight’s results:
Nabil $1,600 + $25 = $1,625 (Who is Hans Zimmer?)
Sarah $6,000 – $2,700 = $3,300 (Who is John Williams?)
Adam $28,400 – $6,600 = $21,800 (Who is Frankenheimer?) (3-day total: $57,601)
