Who Won ‘Jeopardy' Today? (June 19, 2026) Plus, the Final Jeopardy Answer
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 "HOLIDAYS & OBSERVANCES"
The clue: "July 6, 2025 was designated a "Day of Compassion" & the start of a "Year of Compassion" in honor of his 90th birthday."
The answer: "Who is the Dalai Lama?"
It was a good week for "very hard to catch" Remsen, who took home his sixth victory, despite getting FJ wrong ("Who is Rogers?").
Ross-Ewart was the only one to answer correctly, but not enough to beat Remsen, with a total of $19,601. Remsen wagered $99, dropping down to a first-place total of $24,901, as Purcell wagered $4,000, answered incorrectly ("Who Is Jimmy Carter?"), and ended in third with $5,899.
Remsen will be back on Monday for attempt number 7.
