Warning: This page contains spoilers for the April 2, 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 21st Century Television) for Wednesday, April 2, 2025 (Season 41, Game 148):
The creator of this series that premiered in 2018 pitched it as “‘The Godfather’ in Montana”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Brina Ratangee, a graduate student from Nashville, Tennessee
Lee Henry, a high school teacher from Arab, Alabama
Bryce Wargin, a post market surveillance coordinator from Kansas City, Missouri (2-day total: $39,200)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Bryce Wargin is now a 2-day champion on Jeopardy! following a very strong runaway win on yesterday’s show. Today, he faces off against Lee Henry and Brina Ratangee. This is an important game for Bryce—as things stand now, he is just 45.22% to qualify for Champions Wildcard, assuming an identical postseason as 2025 (and unlike what some other prognosticators think right now, I don’t think we can assume any changes are forthcoming.)
Celebrity Jeopardy returns to our television screens tonight as Season 3’s first semifinal, between W. Kamau Bell, Jackie Tohn, and Margaret Cho, airs tonight at 9:00 (8:00 Central) on ABC and CTV2.

Correct response: What is Yellowstone?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan originally pitched the series, which aired for five seasons on Paramount, as a film, using the tagline from today’s clue as its pitch. The series, which stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton III, follows the Dutton family and its Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, bordering on the Broken Rock reservation and Yellowstone National Park. It has also spawned spinoffs 1883, 1923, and The Madison.
Thankfully, I was familiar with the existence of Yellowstone as a series, which allowed me to get this Final Jeopardy clue correct. I believe that “knowing that Yellowstone is a thing and this would best fit the clue” is the way to get this Final correct, which might lead me to believe that this might play easier for contestants than it would viewers at home.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- A reminder that in order to go from a correct response to an incorrect one, twice the value of the clue needs to be deducted from the contestants’ score. The fact that the judges went back to the tape—and are willing to do so—are one reason why phrasing complaints are out of bounds here, per the Site Comment Policy.
- Bryce is now 57.28% to qualify for the ToC and 97.70% to qualify for at least Champions Wildcard.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Bryce $15,600 Lee $10,000 Brina $2,316)
Bryce: Standard cover bet if $4,401. (Actual bet: $4,600)
Lee: Bet at least $1,200 to have any hope of victory; if you bet no more than $5,637, you’re guaranteed second place as well. (Actual bet: $9,999)
Brina: You’re basically playing for second here. I would bet between $2,084 and $2,314; while Lee could lock you out, his most likely bets that let you back in for second are $5,601, $9,999, or $10,000, and this defends against those three bets best. (Actual bet: $1,600)
