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.

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "Writers In Residence." The clue: "In 1759 he purchased Ferney, the French home where he lived for 2 decades, largely because of its proximity to the Swiss border."
The answer: Who is Voltaire?
This was a clue steeped in European literary history. Jamie was the only contestant to answer correctly, though it barely mattered, as he had locked in a smooth runway going into the break. His conservative $827 wager was purely mathematical, nudging his cumulative total to a clean $572,600. Prithish and Alexandra both missed the answer, with Prithish guessing "Wyss" and Alexandra unable to come up with a response, after wagering $100 and $601, respectively.Ding will be back again tomorrow to aim for his 21st win.
