Warning: This page contains spoilers for the March 21, 2025, game of Jeopardy! — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. Please note that the game airs as early as noon Eastern in some U.S. television markets.
Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Bestsellers) for Friday, March 21, 2025 (Season 41, Game 140):
It begins in the village of Juffure & ends in Arkansas more than 200 years & 7 generations later
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Josh Weikert, a politics professor from Collegeville, Pennsylvania
Steve Luck, an IT manager from Royal Oak, Michigan
Cameron Berry, a data analyst & college administrator from Brighton, Massachusetts (1-day total: $24,600)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Our final game of the week in “Jeopardy! air time” (the first game of a taping day in “Jeopardy! production time”) features challengers Josh Weikert and Steve Luck; they are taking on Massachusetts data analyst Cameron Berry, who picked up five rebounds in yesterday’s game en route to the dethroning of 4-day champion Alex DeFrank. I mentioned this in passing yesterday, but when watching the show at this point, I generally tend to cheer for the returning champion to continue their streak, as there tends to be an increase in interest in the show overall once a player starts to go on a winning streak.
Much like yesterday, there are widespread preemptions due to March Madness for those who watch the show on CBS. Matt Carberry does keep a Google sheet with a list of affected airings; check your local listings! I should also note that oftentimes, the stations—with KZTV in Corpus Christi, Texas being the worst offender for this in my experience in 2025—don’t stick to what the listings on their website say, much to the consternation of viewers and fans. As of right now, the first publicized airing is 10:00 AM Eastern (9:00 AM Central) on KZTV—but if yesterday is any indication, it will actually air at 10:30 AM Eastern (9:30 AM Central).
One more thing, on an editorial bent: Why is it that viewers begging the show to stop asking clues about Kanye West get amplified, whereas viewers begging the show to stop asking clues about J.K. Rowling‘s works get ridiculed? I think we know why. (Actions speak louder than words, by the way.)

Correct response: What is Roots: The Saga of an American Family?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Roots: The Saga of an American Family (better known as just Roots) is Alex Haley’s 1976 bestseller, telling the story of Kunta Kinte, a young man taken from The Gambia by the toubob (the local term for the Europeans) at the age of 17 and sold as a slave. From there, it details Kunta’s life and his lineage down to Alex Haley himself. It was made into an incredibly highly-rated television miniseries in the late 1970s, which are still some of the most-watched television programs in American history.

Andy’s Thoughts:

- Thanks to Mark Barrett for his assistance getting the end of the game after I had to switch over to watch the beginning of the Jeopardy UK episode.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Josh $16,400 Steve $11,800 Cameron $6,400)
Cameron: Bet at least $4,400 to defend against a cover bet from Steve, but you might as well go all in to maximize potential winnings on a correct response. (Actual bet: $6,400)
Steve: Bet between $1,001 and $2,600 and hope for a Triple Stumper. (Actual bet: $6,000)
Josh: Standard cover bet and $7,201. (Actual bet: $7,201)
