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 "LESSER-KNOWN AMERICANS."
The clue: "By his actions after his wife died in 1898 after bearing him 6 children, William Jackson Smart inspired this annual event."
The answer: "What is Father's Day?"
It was a triple stumper on Final Jeopardy, as none of the three contestants answered correctly.
McFerrin came into the game with $16,000 next to Hamel’s $13,00 and Berkowitz’s $8,800. Hamel was the ultimate risk, if he got FJ correctly, but his decision to wager everything proved costly, as he got the answer wrong (Mother’s Day), though it was close thematically, and ended in third place with $0.
McFerrin wagered $10,000, enough to stay ahead of Berkowitz if he doubled up, as he wagered $7,201. Both McFerrin and Berkowitz answered “March of Dimes,” ending with $5,999 and $1,599, respectively.
McFerrin will be back on Wednesday for his third shot.
