Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 21st Century Presidential Elections) for Wednesday, November 1, 2023 (Season 40, Game 38):
It was the first election since 1952 in which neither the incumbent president nor the incumbent vice president was a candidate
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Dave Rapp, a writer from Valley Village, California
Nancy Donehower, a retired college admission counselor from Portland, Oregon
Dana Hill, a stay-at-home mom from Thousand Oaks, California
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
After today’s game in the Champions Wildcard Diamonds bracket, we’ll be down to 9 players with a shot at a Tournament of Champions berth! Today’s game is between Dana Hill, Nancy Donehower, and Dave Rapp. Dave was a very strong 3-day champion from February 2022, who has to be considered one of the overall favorites to win the bracket, especially after Hari Parameswaran was eliminated in a shock result yesterday. However, Nancy Donehower’s stats might be understated because her opposition in her regular run included a pair of Tournament of Champions players—she was Jonathan Fisher’s “giant killer” in the fall of 2021 before losing to 5-time champion Tyler Rhode. This could be a very interesting game!
On to today’s game, one thing that caught my eye after looking at the J!6 categories today was the A FISH CALLED… / RWANDA pun in Double Jeopardy, a category pair from the Season 20 premiere back in 2003. It still surprises me that the show is electing to potentially rerun categories from episodes that have seen significant airplay in reruns.
Finally, don’t forget that quarterfinal #6 of Celebrity Jeopardy airs tonight at 8:00 (7:00 Central) on ABC between Dulé Hill (The Wonder Years and The West Wing), Sheryl Underwood (The Talk) and Peter Facinelli (the Twilight saga).

Correct response: What is 2008?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The 2008 election saw Barack Obama face off against John McCain for the presidency, neither of whom was the incumbent president or vice president.
Assuming a player remembers the category and doesn’t get bogged down in the details of everything, this is an eminently solvable clue within 30 seconds. However, if a player forgets the category, and starts working from 1952 instead of 2004—that’s when you’re going to start seeing players run into trouble. For that reason, this is also going to be easier to solve at home than in-studio—viewers at home don’t have the “studio pressure”, and it would be good for the armchair Jeopardy commentators on X, like soccer’s Ron Waxman, to remember that sometimes.

Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Men & Women Of Science; Name That Tunester; Groovy; Bye, George!; Yeah, We Went There; 6-Syllable Words)
While the Daily Double stayed out until late, Dave had the best time in the first half of the opening round, having exactly twice Dana’s score at the first break! Dana did take full advantage of the Daily Double when she found it, but an incorrect response late gave Dave the lead at the midway point.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Dave 6 correct 1 incorrect
Dana 5 correct 0 incorrect
Nancy 2 correct 0 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: A Fish Called…; Rwanda; Movie Comedies; Greek God Out, Roman God In; I’m On The Case; Go “Ome”)
Dana got off to a hot start in Double Jeopardy, but it was Dave who got to the first Daily Double. An incorrect response dropped him to third, though. As the round progressed, Dave was $12,000 off the lead with seven clues to play. No matter, though—the Daily Double was still out, Dave then found it and doubled up to take a stunning lead going into Final!
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Dave 20 correct 3 incorrect
Dana 19 correct 3 incorrect
Nancy 12 correct 2 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 0 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Dave $18,400
Dana $14,200
Nancy $8,400
Dave was the only player correct in Final; Dana definitely got bogged down in the details of the clue. Dave becomes the 9th semifinalist!
Tonight’s results:
Nancy $8,400 – $2,000 = $6,400 (What is 2004?)
Dana $14,200 – $14,200 = $0 (What is For)
Dave $18,400 + $10,001 = $28,401 (What is 2008?) (Semi-Finalist)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I always enjoy games more when the player who makes the fewest strategic errors ends up winning.
Today’s box score: November 1, 2023 Box Score.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Dave $18,400 Dana $14,200 Nancy $8,400)
Dana: Standard cover bet over Nancy is $2,601. I’d recommend that, especially as Nancy has reason to bet $0. (Actual bet: $14,200)
Nancy: If Dave makes the cover bet and is incorrect, he falls to $8,399. Thus, you have two options: Bet $0 (especially if you think Dana will bet big) or bet more than $3,200 (if you think Dana will just bet to cover you.) (Actual bet: $2,000)
Dave: Standard cover bet over Dana is $10,001. (Actual bet: $10,001)
