Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Nobel Prizes) for Friday, April 4, 2025 (Season 41, Game 150):
Only one man & one woman have won Nobel Prizes in 2 different categories, with this category in common
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Mike Dawson, a technology manager from Portland, Oregon
Guy Branum, a writer & comedian from West Hollywood, California
Bryce Wargin, a post market surveillance coordinator from Kansas City, Missouri (4-day total: $70,199)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today on Jeopardy!, Bryce Wargin looks to become the 284th 5-time champion since 1984. Guy Branum and Mike Dawson look to stop Bryce from doing so. Even if Bryce doesn’t win at this point, his chances of making it into the Tournament of Champions are 95.31% at the moment—regardless of today’s outcome, the chances are very slim that this will be Bryce’s last game on the Alex Trebek Stage.
I should also note today that Jeopardy! has a long history of putting minor celebrities on in regular play; all the way back in Season 2, Chub Feeney was a contestant—when Feeney was serving as President of the National League.

Correct response: What is Chemistry?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The two people with Nobel Prizes in different categories are Linus Pauling and Marie Curie. Marie Curie’s are in Physics and Chemistry, while Linus Pauling’s are in Chemistry and Peace.
This felt like a straightforward Final Jeopardy clue to me—but it was also slightly easier because there was a clue about Marie Curie earlier this week on the UK version of the show.
