Warning: This page contains spoilers for the April 23, 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 20th Century History) for Wednesday, April 23, 2025 (Season 41, Game 163):
A 1919 Punch cartoon titled “The Gap in the Bridge” showed Uncle Sam sleeping on the missing keystone of this
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Eric Cordova, a compliance specialist from Chicago, Illinois
Abigail Arnold, an academic administrator from Waltham, Massachusetts
Liam Starnes, an undergraduate student from Barrington, Illinois (3-day total: $72,202)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
UChicago undergrad Liam Starnes, sitting with a 71.63% chance of qualifying for the Tournament of Champions right now, faces of against Abigail Arnold and Eric Cordova in search of victory #4.
I have seen the articles comparing Liam to a certain fictional character, and I am left wishing a couple of things: firstly, that the fanbase was less cruel; secondly, that certain spaces on the Internet would be more tightly moderated. It’s not fair to any contestant to have their appearance judged in such a fashion, and this mocking can be worn on those who have chosen to moderate their spaces less aggressively, including those who administer the various Facebook groups on that site.
Furthermore in Jeopardy! news, the Celebrity Jeopardy! final, between W. Kamau Bell, Robin Thede, and Dave Friedberg, also airs this evening at 9:00 (8:00 Central) on ABC in the United States and CTV2 in Canada.

Correct response: What is the League of Nations?
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.)
Despite Woodrow Wilson including the League of Nations—essentially, a precursor to the modern United Nations—as a suggestion in his Fourteen Points at the conclusion of World War I, Senate Republicans blocked American entry into the League. The cartoon, which appeared in Punch in December 1919, mocked the Americans as asleep.
Needless to say, without American involvement, the League of Nations quickly proved to be ineffective at preventing World War II. Today, in the face of further American isolationism, many nations—Canada, included—are choosing to turn its back on America.

It took all of three clues for Abigail to re-take the lead. However, Liam found DD2, and doubled up through it. Liam and Abigail entered into a spirited battle; Liam found DD3 but bet just $4,000.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Liam is now 97.19% to qualify for the Tournament of Champions.
- In defense of Abigail ringing in on the final clue of Double Jeopardy: the scores at that point were potentially close enough to an important wagering breakpoint such that it was important for Abigail to potentially pick up as much money as possible going into Final. Getting upset at her over this is inappropriate fan behavior and should not happen.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Liam $18,800 Abigail $14,000 Eric $0)
Liam: Standard cover bet today is $9,201. (Actual bet: $9,201)
Abigail: Bet no more than $4,400 and hope for a miss from Liam. (Actual bet: $4,801)
Eric: (By rule, did not participate in Final Jeopardy)
