Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Kimberly Ayers, a college professor from San Marcos, California
Seth Politano, a physician & medical school professor from Los Angeles, California
Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat & law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey (12-day total: $314,440)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
On this final day of March (I hope it’s exiting like a lamb and not a lion where you’re reading this), we have Jamie Ding entering today as a 12-day champion and winnings that are the 16th-best of all time in regular play. Today, he attempts to pick up victory number 13 against a pair of Californians in Seth Politano and Kimberly Ayers.
Today will also see a double dose of Jeopardy, as tonight sees the debut of the YouTube edition of the show. Airing on the show’s YouTube channel at 9:00 Eastern (6:00 Pacific) will be a game, hosted by Ken Jennings, between Monét X Change, Rebecca Black and Brennan Lee Mulligan. Certainly, there will be a portion of my reading audience who has zero interest in these players—but I assure you that 95% of the people I know who are my age and younger in my group of friends/acquaintances are extremely excited for this.
Thirdly, the JeoparDAY! Giveaway Test is still open for another six days for your chance at $6,200, being awarded to one person who takes the test. Make sure you enter!

Final Jeopardy! Category: U.S. History
Final Jeopardy! Clue: Amelia Earhart was among the guests at a 25th anniversary ceremony held December 17, 1928 in this state
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: What is North Carolina?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
As a part of the commemoration of the first successful human attempt at heavier-than-air, controlled, powered flight that occurred at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903, a granite marker at Kill Devil Hill was dedicated, with more than 200 delegates from the International Civil Aeronautics Conference and more than 3,000 visitors attending. The crowd included Orville Wright himself, in addition to Amelia Earhart. The National Park Service has a web page detailing the commemorative efforts of the 1903 first flight of the Wright Brothers.
That being said: I have said this dozens of times before in these write-ups, but I will say it again: if there is a year in a clue as well as a number signifying an anniversary, do the math. For me, it was a very straightforward 1928 less 25 to get to December 1903, which should be Pavlovian for the first flight. (Having Earhart in the clue only cements it.)
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, March 31, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Historic Names; The Hard Stuff; We Make That; Crossword Clues “M”; TV Guidance; The Bible Of…)
Jamie got off to the best start, picking up 10 correct responses. After 15 clues, the scores were Jamie $7,000 Kimberly $2,800 Seth -$800.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Jamie 10 correct 1 incorrect
Kimberly 4 correct 0 incorrect
Seth 0 correct 1 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Kimberly wants her New York Times crossword streak restored.
Seth took up curling after the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Jamie posts pictures of bookmarks on his personal Instagram.
Jamie just picked up 4 correct after the break, while Kimberly found the Daily Double late in the round. Unfortunately, Kimberly went for a very conservative bet, and Jamie still led through 30. On the opening board, Kimberly went 3/5 in that “The Bible Of…” category, while Jamie went 3/5 in HARD STUFF, WE MAKE THAT, and CROSSWORD CLUES “M”.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Jamie 14 correct 1 incorrect
Kimberly 8 correct 1 incorrect
Seth 7 correct 1 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Jamie $8,800
Kimberly $5,000
Seth $2,000
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Africa; “Book” Titles; Contenders; I Think I’m Pregnant; 5 For Fighting; Mime Enough At Last)
Our physician found DD2 in the pregnancy category immediately—but in spite of it potentially being in his professional area of expertise, he just bet clue value on it. Jamie eventually found DD3, taking away any opportunity our challengers had to catch him; things weren’t quite as much on a knife-edge today as Jamie cruised to a runaway. On the second board, Jamie went 4/5 in book titles and 3/5 in pregnancy, Africa, and mimes.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Jamie 30 correct 2 incorrect
Kimberly 10 correct 1 incorrect
Seth 10 correct 3 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 11 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Jamie $29,400
Kimberly $6,600
Seth $4,000
Jamie took full advantage of this triple-get Final Jeopardy, picking up another $16,160 and getting his total to $360,000 even. He’ll be back tomorrow to attempt to add to that total.
Tonight’s results:
Seth $4,000 + $2,601 = $6,601 (What is North Carolina)
Kimberly $6,600 + $1,401 = $8,001 (What is Missouri North Carolina?)
