What was Final Jeopardy today?
Final Jeopardy today was in the category “2009 NO. 1 HITS.“
The clue: “The rapper behind this song said he wanted to rap about “regular guidebook stuff” alongside “the city’s gritty side.”
The answer: What is Empire State of Mind?
Cheaper by the Cousin came in with $2,600, wagered everything, and came close with an answer of “Empire of State or,” ultimately walking away with $0 in what Jost called a “full circle moment.”
Jeopardazed and Confused walked into Final Jeopardy with $12,600, answered correctly with a wager of $6,700 (tapping into the 6-7 viral trend, which made Jost facepalm) and a total of $19,300. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to beat One Baddie After Another, who came in with a $27,200 lead. They not only answered correctly but wagered nothing, bringing them to first place, a move Jost jokingly called “weak,” adding, “but you have won.”
One Baddie After Another advanced to Episode 2.
