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 “TRANSPORTATION“
The clue: “Bearing the name of an arthropod genus, this iconic vehicle first sold after WWII was designed by Italian engineer Corradino D’Ascanio.”
The answer: “The Vespa.”
Riggle ended the final DJ round in second place with $12,000, as Lee took the lead with $15,600, while Mayo finished third with $4,000. No one answered FJ correctly, so it came down to strategic wagers. Riggle wagered $3,999 (“What is the Spyder?) and dropped down to first place with $8,001, earning him the 3-day champion status in the Jeopardy! Season 43 premiere. Lee wagered almost double at $8,401 (“What is a VW bug”) and ended up slipping to second place, $802 less than Riggle’s final score, at $7,199. Mayo wagered everything on “What is… a beetle?” and ended in third place with $0.
Riggle will be back on Tuesday for attempt number 4.
