Today's Final Jeopardy! answer: Thursday, May 8, 2025
Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Thursday, May 8, 2025, continuing its impressive run in this 41st season. The previous weeks have been very exciting, with multiple contestants establishing long and fruitful streaks, some even securing spots in the Tournament of Champions in the process.
However, two games ago, things changed slightly, and now we have a new contestant ready to begin his streak in the upcoming round. Yesterday, Dan Moren, a writer and podcaster from Somerville, Massachusetts, won his first game and will be the returning champion in the next round. He has already won $17,200 in what could be described as a strong start.
In the upcoming round, he will face off against newcomers Christen Aragoni, a writer and editor from Washington, D.C., and Michael Mungin, a librarian from Kirkland, Washington. Jeopardy! has always placed significant emphasis on its final round, which is also the segment that fans are most interested in.
Not only is the final round crucial for the participants, but it also allows viewers to engage as part of the game show. Viewers can do this by answering the question presented in the final round ahead of the episode's airing. This has been a common practice for years now. However, as this is still a lengthy process, we have compiled all the relevant details in the sections below.
