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 "HISTORIC DECLARATIONS."
The clue: "The 1848 Seneca Falls Declaration added these 2 words to the Declaration of Independence line beginning, "We hold these truths..."
The answer: What are "and women"?
Two of the three contestants got the Final Jeopardy right. Shahade wagered $4,001, just enough to cover a scenario where if Samson wagered everything and got it right ($20,000), he’d still win by a dollar. That didn’t happen, however, as Samson missed his clue, wagering everything and landing at $0 for 3rd place. Orlansky played a quiet yet still savvy game, getting Final Jeopardy correct, with her small wager of $33 allowing her to grab 2nd place with a final game total of $4,233.
Shahade will return on Thursday for his attempt at win number 4.
