Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Tanya Iyer, a student originally from Lisle, Illinois

Brent Wilson, a manager research assistant from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat & law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey (10-day total: $272,810)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Yesterday’s game saw Jamie Ding become the 20^th superchampion in Jeopardy! history, winning his 10^th consecutive game. Today he goes for win #11 against Toronto’s Brent Wilson and Illinois’s Tanya Iyer. Interestingly, none of the previous 19 superchampions have lost when going for win #11; will that streak continue today?

The big news from yesterday is the new Jeopardy! YouTube edition, whose first episode is airing Tuesday, March 31 on YouTube at 9:00 PM Eastern (6:00 PM Pacific) between YouTube stars Monét X Change, Rebecca Black, and Brennan Lee Mulligan. I have a number of friends who I’d consider to be reasonably close to the target audience of this programming—and let me tell you, the excitement that I am seeing for this lineup is palpable. I can’t wait for next Tuesday evening! I also want to point out that the general excitement about this on every platform except for Reddit just goes to show that reporters like Brittany Sims of TV Insider and Caitlyn Agnello over at The U.S. Sun just look incredibly silly (and borderline incompetent) for choosing to cherry-pick the opinions of the five people who do not like this in order to once again put down the show.

CBS’s coverage of the “Sweet 16” round of March Madness will cause some schedule changes on CBS stations today; if you watch on a CBS station that airs the show later in the day, make sure to check your local listings or Matt Carberry’s Google sheet. The major change to the schedule is that WTSP Tampa is planning on airing today’s game at 9:30 AM Eastern; thus, the results will be posted earlier.

Finally, Quarterfinal #3 of this season of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars airs tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern (7:00 Central) on ABC and CTV. This week’s game is between Sean Gunn, Roy Wood Jr., and Cynthia Nixon.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Celebrity Memoirs

Final Jeopardy! Clue: In the title of a 2023 memoir, Dame Judi Dench calls him “the man who pays the rent”

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Correct response: Who is William Shakespeare?

More Information About Final Jeopardy!:

Prior to rising to international fame as a result of her role at M in 8 James Bond films from the 1990s through to the 2010s and her eight Oscar-nominated roles, Dame Judi Dench began her career as a Shakespearean actress, having performed in many of the Bard’s plays with the Old Vic Company, the National Theatre Company, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Thus, she titled her 2023 memoir Shakespeare: The Man who Pays the Rent. Dench also won her only Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love.

I suspect that a lot of people are going to take the James Bond route here (myself included), without really thinking too hard about Dench’s Shakespeare career.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• I felt Brent’s interview had a little bit too much self-deprecation for my liking. Even if it was re-taped after the game, it comes across like he gave up way too early—and giving up isn’t really the best way to beat a superchampion.
• Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Jamie $19,800 Brent $9,400 Tanya $6,200)

Jamie: Bet no more than $999 and enjoy win #11. (Actual bet: $790)

Brent: Standard cover bet is $3,001. Since Tanya has to be correct to pass you and thus has occasion to go all in, you should probably do this. (Actual bet: $257)

Tanya: You have to be correct to take second place. Bet at least $200—but you might as well go all in here to force a cover bet from Brent. (Actual bet: $6,200)
