Correct response: What are Secretary of State and Attorney General?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
George Washington’s original cabinet contained four members: Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph. (As an aside, I find these types of clues that require multiple steps really enjoyable; of course, my write-ups for these clues here at The Jeopardy! Fan are more likely to be plagiarized by others.) There have been three women Secretaries of State: Madeleine Albright (Bill Clinton), Condoleezza Rice (George W. Bush), and Hillary Clinton (Barack Obama). There have been two women Attorney Generals: Janet Reno (Bill Clinton) and Loretta Lynch (Barack Obama).
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $440 has been raised.)
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.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Dennis may have been fortunate that he ran out of time at the right time, but “Attorney Genl”, is in my opinion, an acceptable abbreviation of “general” and I feel as though the judges made a correct ruling on Dennis’ Final Jeopardy! response.
