Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Ben Crockett, a director of data analytics originally from Laurel, Washington
Robyn Masella, a victim advocate from Corvallis, Oregon
Richard Nguyen, a research attorney from Placentia, California (1-day total: $20,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
For the first time in nearly three weeks, we have a new occupant of the champion’s lectern on the Alex Trebek Stage in Richard Nguyen, who defeated 12-game champion Adam Remsen yesterday. Today, he faces off against Robyn Masella of Corvallis, Oregon and Ben Crockett of Laurel, Washington.
One other interesting thing that we’ve seen over the past few years, since the advent of Second Chance: the longer a giant killer’s run goes, the better the chances are for third place in that “giant killer” game to get a Second Chance invitation, with Mandy Moreno’s chances going up considerably if Richard happens to go on a run here.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Names In Entertainment
Final Jeopardy! Clue: Among his numerous accolades are 3 Tonys, 3 Emmys, 5 Grammys & a 2016 Pulitzer Prize
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 Lin-Manuel Miranda?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Lin-Manuel Miranda, best known for his musical Hamilton, which won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is also only an Oscar away from an EGOT, having been nominated for Best Original Song twice (from Moana and Encanto).
I think the biggest imagined controversy today is that significant numbers of sources online have understated the number of Emmy Awards that Lin-Manuel Miranda has won, including an AI hallucination that does the same. While LMM is best known for his Primetime Emmy in 2021 for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) for Hamilton and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics (“Bigger” from the 67th Tony Awards), LMM does in fact have a third Emmy: We The People won the Children’s and Family Emmy Award in 2022. (And if you try to tell anyone in the industry that it only counts unless it’s Primetime or Daytime—you are going to have an argument on your hands. As someone with friends who treasure their local Emmy Awards—it absolutely counts.)
Also, I definitely think that the most common incorrect response here is going to be Kendrick Lamar, who does have a Pulitzer as well—but his was in 2018.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, July 1, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: An Operatic Demise; Internal Rhyme Words; De-Fense! De-Fense!; Ends In “Z”; Money; Doesn’t Grow On Trees)
Richard showed no signs of slowing down after yesterday, picking up 8 correct responses and leading at the interviews. After 15 clues, the scores were Richard $4,000 Ben $800 Robyn -$600.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Richard 8 correct 3 incorrect
Ben 2 correct 1 incorrect
Robyn 2 correct 2 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Ben attempted unsuccessfully to predict paper transfers for Seattle’s transit system.
Robyn learned the mellophone to play at college hockey games.
Richard got the nickname Tic-Tac as an 8-year-old.
Richard picked up $3,000 on the Daily Double immediately following the break and led through 30. On the opening board, Richard ran the sports category, and got 4/5 in opera, while Ben got 3 in “Ends in Z” and Robyn got 3 (and negged the other two) in “Doesn’t Grow On Trees”.

Richard 14 correct 3 incorrect
Ben 5 correct 2 incorrect

Richard $8,400
Ben $2,200
Robyn -$600
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Epistolary Novels; Word Origins; Science; Film & TV Cameos; Central America; Boxes Full Of Boxes)
Robyn found the Daily Doubles on back-to-back clues; unfortunately, her pair of incorrect responses put her in a hole that she could not extricate herself from by the end of the round. Meanwhile, Richard got 4 of the epistolary novels and 3 in the box category to take a runaway into Final Jeopardy.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Richard 26 correct 5 incorrect
Ben 9 correct 3 incorrect
Robyn 11 correct 7 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 11 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Richard $18,000
Ben $3,800
Robyn -$1,400
Ben was correct in Final, while Richard looked like he was going to guess Kendrick Lamar. Richard’s a 2-day champ thanks to his runaway, though, and will go for win #3 tomorrow.
Tonight’s results:
Robyn -$1,400 (By rule, did not participate in Final Jeopardy)
Ben $3,800 + $2,200 = $6,000 (Who is Lin Manuel Miranda)
Richard $18,000 – $2,000 = $16,000 (Who is La) (2-day total: $36,801)
