Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Places In The American Past) for Wednesday, April 16, 2025 (Season 41, Game 158):
It’s the building where the Stax Records classic “Knock On Wood” was written but it’s remembered for other reasons
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Brenden Monroe, a senior game producer from Seattle, Washington
Denise LeBlanc-Bock, an architect from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Andrew Hayes, a law student originally from Tupelo, Mississippi (5-day total: $117,804)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Yesterday, Andrew Hayes became a 5-time Jeopardy! champion, automatically qualiifying himself for the Tournament of Champions. Today, he faces off against Seattle’s Brenden Monroe and Florida’s Denise LeBlanc-Bock.
And, at 9:00 (8:00 Central) on ABC and CTV2, semifinal #3 of Celebrity Jeopardy between Mina Kimes, Sean Gunn, and Dave Friedberg will be taking place, with the winner facing off next Wednesday against Robin Thede and W. Kamau Bell.

Correct response: What is the Lorraine Motel?
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 Lorraine Motel in Memphis, now the site of the National Civil Rights Museum, was the site where, on April 4, 1968, American civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. During segregation, it was an upscale location catering to Black clientele; a number of famous recording artists would stay at the Lorraine when recording at Stax Records in Memphis.
Judging from some of the complaints about this clue online already: is there some sort of major failing of the American education system here when teaching students about the Civil Rights movement? Shouldn’t students know where in Memphis the assassination was? Certainly, most Americans would immediately be able to associate JFK with Dealey Plaza or the Texas School Book Depository. (And I did check J! Archive: the Lorraine Motel has been a bottom-row clue in regular play on a pair of occasions in the past—which means, for anyone who has been studying from J! Archive, this should be in a player’s flashcard deck.)
