An inscription near the site of this landmark quotes Daniel Webster: God "has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men"

Today's Jeopardy! contestants:
Anthony enters today's game as a 1-day champion with winnings of $37,200.
Andy's Pregame Thoughts:
After one of the most exciting games in a good while in yesterday's game, Toronto's Anthony Cantor goes for win #2 against Indianapolis's Amy Treber and Chicago's Jim Snaza.
One thing that I will continue to say about Jeopardy! in the 2020s: the clues are harder now than they used to be. And, quite frankly, it's hard to make the case that this is a bad thing when games can still enter Final Jeopardy like they did yesterday, with the three players combining for $67,600 after 60 clues.
In airing news, though: Thankfully, the show airs on the local CBS affiliate in Missoula, Montana, so the INSIDE MISSOULA category in today's game—and resultant shoutout—isn't being preempted in the local market. That being said, if you do watch on an NBC local station, the opening night of the NBA season is going to cause broadcast issues for you today, with the show being outright preempted in a number of markets, and certainly moved all over the place in a number of others. Check your local listings, or Matt Carberry's Google sheet of all affected markets for more information.

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.)
The face of Cannon Mountain in northern New Hampshire, before freezing, thawing, and weathering caused a collapse in 2003, resembled a face due to the protrusion of five granite ledges from the side of the mountain. New Hampshire native Daniel Webster once wrote of the cliff face, "Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a giant shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men."
I think the "in" here for someone who doesn't know it cold is knowing that Daniel Webster is from New Hampshire, and then thinking of what natural wonder the state is most associated with. We shall see how this clue plays, though!
