Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Tim Leung, a technical trainer from Fitchburg, Wisconsin
Diana Miller, an attorney from Richmond, Virginia
James Hirsch, a lawyer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (3-day total: $67,418)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Yesterday, James Hirsh picked up his third victory and has guaranteed at least a spot in Champions Wildcard. However, he would still be very squarely on the Tournament of Champions bubble without another victory today. In order to get that victory, he’ll need to beat Diana Miller of Virginia and Tim Leung of Wisconsin.
This is also a reminder that we’re still two weeks away from the start of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars; much like the last three years, those will be airing in primetime (Fridays at 8:00 PM on ABC)—different from when you’d normally watch the show.

Final Jeopardy! Clue: Historian Louis Hyman wrote this company’s sales method undid the power of the “consumerism of Jim Crow”
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: What is Sears?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
In a 2018 New York Times opinion piece following Sears’s filing for bankruptcy protection, Louis Hyman wrote about how the famous Sears catalog “undid the power of the storekeeper, the landlord, and by extension, the racially marked consumerism of Jim Crow.” In local stores in the American South at the time, shopkeepers were permitted to discriminate against Black customers; Sears, who did not discriminate who they sold to, found profit in what was nonetheless seen as radical for the time.
Interestingly, a point that Hyman made at the end of his article still rings true, in my opinion: “In some ways, the freedom of the Sears catalog is echoed in how online shopping allows transgender people to buy clothes without being harassed and African-Americans to browse without being followed down the aisles.”
This is one of those Final Jeopardy clues where I honestly don’t believe it matters one iota whether it goes 0/3, 3/3, or anywhere in between: it’s gettable for sure, but it also is designed to make you think about the world around you.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Friday, February 27, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: What’s Your Sign?; Let’s “P”lay; The Law Of The Land; Numerical Terms; In The State Capital; TV Offspring)
Diana and James got off to the best starts, but it was Diana who led after 15 on the strength of the Daily Double. After 15 clues, the scores were Diana $5,000 James $4,200 Tim $1,800.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Tim 3 correct 1 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Tim has done over 50 half-marathons.
Diana first took the Jeopardy! test in Okinawa.
James has been doing a lot of winter activities because of Toronto’s snowier-than-usual winter.
The battle between Diana and James continued; both were tied after 30 clues. On the opening board, James went 3/5 in What’s Your Sign and numerical terms, Diana went 3/5 in state capitals, and Tim went 3/5 in Let’s “P”lay.

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Psych 101; Quick Hits; Hooked On Mnemonics; American Art & Artists; Historic Trials; Dirty Words)
Diana fell back a bit after getting DD2 incorrect; James found DD3, but he bet just $3,000. That meant that everyone was still in contention entering Clue #61! On the second board, James went 3/5 in Psych, while Diana went 3/5 in the short pop hits category.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
James 20 correct 3 incorrect
Diana 18 correct 2 incorrect

Tonight’s results:
Tim $9,800 – $0 = $9,800 (What is ??? Thank you everyone!)
Diana $11,600 + $4,799 = $16,399 (What is Sears + Roebuck?) (1-day total: $16,399)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- A bet of $10,000 on the last Daily Double would have given James a runaway entering Final Jeopardy. Interesting to see this situation happen after the discourse from Wednesday is still simmering…
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: James $16,400 Diana $11,600 Tim $9,800)
James: Standard cover bet is $6,801. (Actual bet: $6,818)
Diana: You can’t both cover Tim and win a Triple Stumper. However, Tim does have occasion to bet small. If you do feel you need to cover Tim, though, bet at least $8,001 (but all-in is viable as well). If you do think he’ll bet small, a bet between $0 and $1,599 works.(Actual bet: $4,799)
Tim: A bet between $0 and $199 stays ahead of James if he bets to cover. (Actual bet: $0)
