Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category History) for Thursday, May 11, 2023 (Season 39, Game 174):
His epitaph, in a church in England, reads, “Sometime general in the army of George Washington”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Kat Waller, a school business administrator from Pawtucket, Rhode Island
Jon Carnegie, a social media manager from Brooklyn, New York
Hannah Wilson, a data scientist from Chicago, Illinois (6-day total: $163,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Hannah Wilson is now a 6-day champion after her win last night. Today, her challengers are Brooklyn’s Jon Carnegie and Pawtucket, Rhode Island’s Kat Waller. One thing I’ve been slightly afraid to bring up (mostly in fear of potentially jinxing someone): whoever is the champion in tomorrow’s game will be facing off against returning champion Ben Chan—and Ben had runaways in his first three appearances. If that champion is Hannah, next Monday will probably be one of the most anticipated regular-play matchups in recent memory.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Benedict Arnold?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Notorious American Benedict Arnold was famously caught before attempting to surrender West Point to the British (along with Major John André—Arnold escaped; André did not) and was buried in England after his 1801 death.
I think today’s Final will be straightforward; however, I also think this sort of Final Jeopardy clue is more than okay. I want to make a couple of points, which I hope might also serve as a preemptive rebuttal to anything that might come from the vox Twittuli today:
- Straightforward Final Jeopardy clues are important for the overall balance of game strategy. If players start to feel that every clue that they may see is going to be a difficult one, players will be more apt to make smaller bets in Final Jeopardy—and I would certainly posit that the show would greatly prefer that players make more aggressive bets overall;
- If a player does not happen to get a more straightforward clue correct, it is not a license for the home viewer to pillory that contestant on social media. As I’ve said many times before, “One does not have to put every thought that comes into their head onto Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit.” You don’t know what it’s like for the contestant on that stage. They may have made a mistake parsing the clue. They may have been more tired than usual under the pressure of the stage and the lights. I’m sure that contestant feels bad enough—you don’t need to make it worse by forcing them to be trailed by a history of news articles about it. Act how you’d want to be treated if it was you.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Kat would have been in a much stronger pre-Final position had she been more aggressive on the last Daily Double.
Today’s box score: May 11, 2023 Box Score.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Hannah $23,000 Kat $12,800 Jon $5,200)
Hannah: Standard cover bet is $2,601. (Actual bet: $3,000)
Jon: Bet $0 to have the best chance at second place.(Actual bet: $623)
Kat: Bet at least $7,600 to have any chance of winning—interestingly, doing that exact number would bring you down to exactly Jon’s score if you’re wrong, while winning by $1 if Hannah makes the standard cover bet, you’re right, and she’s wrong. (Actual bet: $12,795)
