Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Theater) for Monday, May 20, 2024 (Season 40, Game 181):
Of the 14 roles in a production of this play that opened on Broadway on Oct. 28, 2004, none were played by females
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Ivvone Zhou, a student from Bethesda, Maryland
Gregg Meller, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, California
Grant DeYoung, a grocery clerk from Prescott, Arizona (3-day total: $67,202)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
A new week begins on Jeopardy! with Grant DeYoung entering this game as a 3-day champion with winnings of $67,202. Gregg Meller and Ivvone Zhou are your challengers. Grant has certainly been playing well, averaging 24 correct (including Final) over his first three wins. However, the last three 3-day champions have failed to win their fourth game. Will this “mini-curse” continue, or will Grant break through to get victory number four?
It should also be noted that the last two semifinal games of 2024’s Jeopardy! Masters competition will be airing at 8:00 PM (7:00 Central) tonight on ABC and CTV2—for 60% of U.S. households, this is a different station than the normal “syndicated” games.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Before it was the famed 1957 Sidney Lumet film, Twelve Angry Men was a television play, and then a stage play, written by Reginald Rose. While it is often renamed to things like Twelve Angry Jurors or Twelve Angry People when women are cast, the full cast of 14 in the 2004 Broadway revival (which was nominated for 3 Tony Awards) was entirely male.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Monday, May 20, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Turkmenistan; Dino Movies; Saints; “Come” & “Go”; Deep Space Night; It’s A Date)
Double Jeopardy was very interesting! Both Daily Doubles were at the $800 level, and Gregg found them on back-to-back clues. Unfortunately, he bet small on the one he got correct and big on the one he got incorrect. That meant that, despite 11 incorrect over the course of both of the first two rounds, Grant held a lead going into Final Jeopardy.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Grant 18 correct 11 incorrect
Ivvone 11 correct 2 incorrect
Gregg 16 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 18 (2 today).
Scores going into Final:
Grant $8,200
Ivvone $7,000
Gregg $6,800
Grant and Ivvone were both correct in Final Jeopardy; Grant bet enough and is now a 4-time champion!
Tonight’s results:
Gregg $6,800 – $6,800 = $0 (What is The Spama)
Ivvone $7,000 + $7,000 = $14,000 (What is 12 Angry Men)
Grant $8,200 + $5,801 = $14,001 (What is 12 angry men?) (4-day total: $81,203)

Andy’s Thoughts:
In case this is unclear to anybody: if you win a game of Jeopardy!, you are allowed to be joyful and happy. That is all.
Grant is the first player with at least 10 incorrect responses to still win a game since Ryan Fenster on January 31, 2018. He’s also the first known player to win a game with 11 incorrect since Jack Lechner on December 1, 1988 (Jack’s was 10 in the main game + a miss in Final), and the first known player to win a game with at least 11 incorrect over the first two rounds since Steve Rogitz in March 26, 1985 (Steve holds the record for a win, with 12 in the main game + a miss in Final for 13).

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Grant $8,200 Ivvone $7,000 Gregg $6,800)
Grant: Standard cover bet over Ivvone is $5,801. (Actual bet: $5,801)
Gregg: Bet no more than $4,399 and stay ahead of Grant if he misses Final Jeopardy. (Actual bet: $6,800)
Ivvone: You can’t both cover Gregg and win a Triple Stumper. You should either go all in to force a cover bet from Grant, or bet $199 or less and play for the Triple Stumper. (Actual bet: $7,000)
