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 "20TH CENTURY NAMES"
The clue: "Shunned by his religion when he went to study law in England, he met Christians who helped him awaken a "religious quest."
The answer: "Who is Gandhi?"
Williams was the only one who guessed FJ correctly, adding to his already massive lead at the end of the DJ round and sealing his victory. Coming into the final with $21,200, wagering $12,201 for a total of $33,401. It was a classic “cover” bet that was strategically sound, ensuring that if Sloan wagered everything and answered correctly, he would have still beaten her by a $1.
Sloan trailed closely behind, entering with $16,700, wagering $4,501 and getting it wrong ("Who is Hubbard"), dropping to an end game total of $12,199. Meanwhile, Hebbar wagered nearly all of his $800 earnings, walking away with a symbolic $1 after getting FJ wrong with "Who is Lewis").
Williams will return on Wednesday for his 11th attempt at victory.
