Here's today's Final Jeopardy (in the category Capital Cities) for Friday, August 14, 2026 (Season 42, Game 100):

Andy's Pregame Thoughts:
Encore presentations this summer continue. Our fifth quarterfinal in the 33rd Tournament of Champions is today and will be contested between Steven Olson, Josh Weikert, and Matt Massie.
As you may have noticed, things might look a little bit different around The Jeopardy! Fan today, as we have switched to a new content management system here, and I am trying to learn a whole bunch of new things. Comments in general will return to the site by the end of the weekend; throughout the remainder of the encore presentations, there will be weekly comment threads for general discussion among members logged in through TJF Plus. I'd like to thank my new partners over at Labrador CMS, especially David, Anette, Jonatan, and Alexander, who all were incredibly helpful over the past week during the switchover.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2026 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
I think this is an excellent Tournament of Champions-level "world capitals" clue, as the "shared names" are on the more "deep end" of that list. On Canada's east coast (where, in fact, this website's content is written on a daily basis), St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, shares its name with the capital city of Antigua and Barbuda. On Canada's west coast, Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, shares its name with the capital city of Seychelles.
The most likely note about judging that may come up: if a contestant says just "St. John", that's not going to be accepted due to the confusion with Saint John, New Brunswick.
