Attention: Due to coverage of election results on Tuesday, many stations around the United States have elected to show yesterday's game between Erica, Cameron, and Betty instead of today's game. If you are looking for that game, you can find the recap for that game at this link here.

Here's today's Final Jeopardy (in the category Campaign Slogans) for Friday, November 6, 2026 (Season 43, Game 40):
A 1905 advertisement for a clothing sale said it offered one of these, the same as a campaign slogan

Today's Jeopardy! contestants:
Betty enters today's game as a 1-day champion with winnings of $21,000.
Andy's Pregame Thoughts:
Who needs a Seniors Tournament when you have contestants like Betty Hume? The retired library reference assistant—it's always librarians who do well on the Alex Trebek Stage—took victory yesterday, unseating 4-time champion Erica Doornek. In her interview, Betty said she'd been married 53 years; the old Senior tournament on the show was for contestants older than 50. Today, our popular champion returns to defend her title against Oakland's Sam Dhindsa and Jeremy Rotman, originally from Paris. I can't see Jeremy being particularly popular among the viewership, especially considering his lack of a collared shirt and even moreso in juxtaposition with a defending champion who is already gaining fans among the viewership.
While the broadcasts of the show should return to normal on Monday, a number of markets still have decided to "slide" their broadcast of the show by 1 day this week. Thus, a number of locales, like New York/New Jersey and northern California will see yesterday's game today and today's game at some point during the weekend. I still think that the practice of "sliding" is archaic and only serves to confuse viewers in an era where many viewers take to the Internet to discuss the show.
Finally, the next episode of Jeopartalk is set to air on Sunday at 6:00 PM Eastern on both Twitch and YouTube. Friends or contestants who would like to come on can contact me any way you know how; failing that, you are welcome to email me via the email in the About page.

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.)
During his Presidential years, Theodore Roosevelt used the term "Square Deal" often, and as early as 1901, saying words like "A square deal for every man, big or small, rich or poor" and "A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards". During the 1904 Presidential campaign, Roosevelt published a book, A Square Deal for Every Man; the press often put "Square Deal" in headlines in the era. It would then be understandable that people might then put "square deal" into advertisements to refer to their sales, capitalizing on the popularity of the President at that point.
I think that if you can recall the Roosevelt era slogans, you have a chance at pulling this Final Jeopardy clue. If not, you might be in trouble.
