This week began with two Final Jeopardy! clues that everyone got. Monday’s was probably the easiest of those two. A to Z? C’mon!! The rest of the week had mixed results, with only Thursday’s clue stumping the whole panel. That was hardly surprising. If the clue had only asked for one team/movie, two players would have been right. Asking for both names is what made that the week’s most difficult clue.

This week’s winners:
Mon 4/27/26 $33,000 Greg Shahade
Tue 4/28/26 $21,601 Greg Shahade
Wed 4/29/26 $20,001 Greg Shahade
Thu 4/30/26 $17,599 Kate Brody
Fri 5/01/26 $16,600 Stephanie Perkins

Many were rooting for Jamie Ding to tie James Holzhauer for 32 games but it was not to be. Greg Shahade won Jamie’s 32nd game and Greg went on to win 2 more games. Kate Brody sent Greg home and she was defeated by Stephanie Perkins on Friday.

The lion’s share ($74,602) of the $108,801 paid to this week’s Jeopardy! champs went to Greg Shahade. An additional $25,000 was paid out in consolation prizes: $3,000 for second place and $2,000 for third place each day.
