Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

A very topical subject for Final Jeopardy, this is one that would play tougher in-studio, as contestants may not remember that tomorrow is the start of Lent when this episode taped back on November 29.

Also, with the TALK LIKE A CANADIAN category in Double Jeopardy, this is a good time to remind everyone that contestants and categories are selected randomly and independently of each other, and yes, coincidences like this show up sometimes, where a Canadian gets to play a Canadian-themed category.
