There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people’s trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.
Here’s a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

What was Final Jeopardy today?
Final Jeopardy today was in the category “Jargon.”
The clue: Former NFL QB Joe Theismann once joked that he shouted this word over 10,000 times, but had no idea what it meant.
The answer: What is “hut”?
In a repeat of yesterday’s performance, Jamie fell behind for the majority of the game, with David taking the lead. The reigning champ came back at the last Daily Double, though, going into Final Jeopardy $4,000 ahead of David. Both Jamie and David got the final answer correct, but Jamie bid over $11,000 to cement the win. He took home $30,401, bringing his total winnings so far to $162,203.
