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 "HOLLYWOOD NAMES"
The clue: "He's got 12 Oscar nominations & 2 wins & a Henry Mancini Award from ASCAP & in 2018 received the German Order of Merit."
The answer: "Who is Hans Zimmer?"
Remsen went into the FJ round with a massive lead of $28,400 at the end of DJ, compared to Rahman’s and McCleskey’s $1,600 and $6,000, respectively.
While Rahman was the only one to answer the question correctly, he wagered only $25 for a third-place total of $1,625.
Remsen’s wager and incorrect answer didn’t matter as much, as he dropped down to $21,800 with the wrong response of “Who is Frankenheimer,” taking his third consecutive win. Meanwhile, McCleskey wagered $2,700, not enough to beat Remsen either way, got it wrong with “Who is John Williams,” and walked away in second place with a final total o $3,300.
Remsen will be back on Wednesday for attempt number 4.
