Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 21st Century Broadway) for Friday, March 14, 2025 (Season 41, Game 135):
A review of this musical noted “sacrilege” & said it was “blasphemous” but “its heart is as pure as…a Rodgers & Hammerstein show”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Jamie Hare, a library worker from Decatur, Georgia
Alex DeFrank, an inventory specialist from Brooklyn, New York
Jack Goldfisher, a screenwriter & director from Los Angeles, California (1-day total: $32,401)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Yesterday’s game saw Jack Goldfisher end James Corson’s run at two games. Today, he faces off against Alex DeFrank—who played Sports Jeopardy quite a long time ago now—and Jamie Hare.
Days like today are why I have the most number of problems with the websites that basically scrape and repost other people’s content—especially the ones who scrape biographical data about contestants to try to get random web traffic. It’s because those websites also have poorly moderated comment sections; “poorly moderated” in the sense that the operator has no idea what actually constitutes a hateful comment regarding a contestant, and therefore permits all kinds of hate to linger in their comments. (This is not a particularly new phenomenon; I first noticed it when these sites proliferated during Amy Schneider’s run on Jeopardy.)
Beginning on Monday at 11:00 AM EDT (3:00 PM GMT), coverage of Series 2 of the UK version of Jeopardy will be commencing here at The Jeopardy! Fan.
And finally, a preemption alert, thanks as always to Matt Carberry: Due to FOX’s coverage of the Big East men’s basketball tournament, there are schedule changes today in Denver, Baltimore, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Mobile, Green Bay, Syracuse, Lake Charles LA, and Marquette MI. Check your local listings in those markets!

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.)
According to Ben Brantley’s 2011 review of The Book of Mormon (link gifted to pass the paywall): Now you should probably know that this collaboration between the creators of television’s “South Park” (Trey Parker & Matt Stone) and the composer of “Avenue Q” (Robert Lopez) is also blasphemous, scurrilous and more foul-mouthed than David Mamet on a blue streak. But trust me when I tell you that its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show.
The story details two Mormon missionaries in Africa, attempting to preach their faith to the inhabitants of a remote village in Uganda. It won nine Tony Awards, grossed over $800 million, and has run for over 5,000 performances at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I can’t see a world where Jamie doesn’t receive a Second Chance invite after that game today.
- Since this has already come up, on the 7th clue of Double Jeopardy, I personally did hear “fusion” and not “fission”.
- There may be some other players from Season 1 that I’m not 100% aware of, but Alex is the first person that I’m aware of to win on both regular Jeopardy and Sports Jeopardy.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Alex $26,400 Jamie $21,200 Jack $6,200)
