Warning: This page contains spoilers for the March 18, 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 Classic TV Shows) for Tuesday, March 18, 2025 (Season 41, Game 137):
Posted over the door of this show’s setting was a notice reading, “Maximum room capacity 75 persons”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Lily St. Laurent, a student assistant from Bakersfield, California
David DeBacker, an architectural designer orignally from Ypsilanti, Michigan
Alex DeFrank, an inventory specialist from Brooklyn, New York (2-day total: $56,401)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Alex DeFrank was the only player correct in Final Jeopardy yesterday, and that was enough to make him a 2-game champion. Today, he battles against Lily St. Laurent and David DeBacker. A win for Alex would virtually guarantee him a spot in at least Champions Wildcard at this point (instead of him likely spending the rest of 2025 on the bubble) and into the conversation for the Tournament of Champions. (Of course, this assumes that the postseason format for 2026 will be identical to that of 2025).
One interesting thing to note, for those who track such things: Drew Goins has been announced as the special guest for Inside Jeopardy: Live on Tour at Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C.; tickets go on sale today at noon Eastern/9:00 AM Pacific. I’m not sure if that tips the scales in his favor for being announced as the Producer’s Pick for Jeopardy! Masters or not; we shall see!

Correct response: What is Cheers?

Above the entrance door of the title location of the classic TV sitcom Cheers was a sign that read “Maximum room capacity 75 persons”—it’s one of those important little things that gives a setting realism that isn’t really noticed unless you’re paying attention to the minutia. I do expect that this will play relatively well amongst viewers at home, many of whom would likely remember that series quite fondly.

Andy’s Thoughts:
In case you’re wondering how Jeopardy! fans react to such things: there have been significantly fewer comments from viewers regarding Alex’s phrasing (again, it’s there, it’s just quiet/swallowed a bit) compared to when players Colby Burnett would do exactly the same thing. Just saying…
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

(Scores: Alex $25,200 David $15,600 Lily $2,200)
