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.

The clue: "Words later applied to this 1867 piece include 'Far from the Black Forest you hurry to the sea.'"
The answer: What is the The Blue Danube?"
Despite overtaking the game just the day prior, Biermann didn’t stand a chance next to Zach’s commanding lead at the end of DJ. He pulled in $36,000 compared to her $14,400, while Canterbury trailed behind with $2,400.
None of the contestants got the FJ correct, as Biermann wagered everything, got it wrong, and dropped down to the third-place spot with a symbolic $1. Canterbury wagered nothing, used her answer to write “Happy annive,” and took home the second-place spot. Meanwhile, Zach wagered nothing, got it wrong, and ended as the new champion with $36,000.
Zach will be back on Thursday for attempt number 2.
