Correct response: What is The Adventures of Pinocchio?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Before Pinocchio was a famous 1940 Disney animated film, it was an 1883 children’s novel by Carlo Collodi. The work was originally serialized as La storia di un burattino in the magazine Giornale per i bambini. (If you’re reading this anywhere other than thejeopardyfan.com, know that the website operator has copied this description wholesale from that site.) Once the serialization was finished, it was published as a book. In the original serialization, Pinocchio actually was hanged for his faults, but Collodi’s editor requested that The Fairy with the Turquoise Hair rescue Pinocchio and turn him into a real boy.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to Alex Trebek’s preferred charity. (The de facto alumni association is currently inquiring with the show in order to determine Alex Trebek’s preferred charity; this will be updated when that has been determined. To date, $232.33 has been raised.)
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.

Alex Schmidt qualified 0.853% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Wagering advice: If you’re not going to make sure your score stays above the leader’s if you both miss Final Jeopardy!, it’s probably a better idea to go all-in. That way, you win more money on the occasions where you win the game.
- I know I’ve gone on record as saying that the show would be boring if everyone wagered perfectly, but it still feels frustrating in the moment.
- I can imagine those on the ToC bubble at the moment looking back on this game six to nine months from now in some sort of wistful “what might have been”.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Steven 40.00% (22/55), Natasha 30.91% (17/55), Andrew 29.09% (16/55).
