Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Grammys) for Wednesday, May 7, 2025 (Season 41, Game 173):
Best New Artist at the 7th annual Grammys, this band would be nominated the next 6 years but not again until the 39th & 67th events
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Dan Moren, a writer & podcaster from Somerville, Massachusetts
Michelle Tsai, a tutor originally from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
Sarah Gillis, a mortgage loan processor from Asbury Park, New Jersey (1-day total: $7,300)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Sarah Gillis is your new Jeopardy! champion, having picked up $7,300 in a runaway victory yesterday. She’ll very likely need another victory, barring a massive postseason expansion, in order to be able to return for postseason play in 2026, as she defends her title against tutor Michelle Tsai and writer Dan Moren.
It’s also a Wednesday, which means that Jeopardy! Masters returns with the second of our Knockout Round games. Neilesh Vinjamuri, Isaac Hirsch, and Adriana Harmeyer battle in a Tournament of Champions rematch to start, with the winner playing against last week’s winners Yogesh Raut and Roger Craig in the second half of the episode. It will be airing on ABC at 9:00 Eastern (8:00 Central), while Canadian viewers should check their local listings, as the two-hour Masked Singer finale forces a schedule juggle on CTV and CTV2.

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.)
The first Grammy Awards were held May 4, 1959, recognizing the music of 1958. At the 7th awards in 1965, The Beatles were named Best New Artist of 1964, defeating Petula Clark, Morgana King, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Astrud Gilberto. As the biggest band in the world in the 1960s, they were nominated every year through the 13th awards until their breakup. Following that, “Free As A Bird” received attention in the 1990s and “Now And Then” received attention this past year.
Personally, I think that there were two ways in to this: firstly, there’s knowing that the Grammys started in the late 1950s and being able to do the math to the mid-to-late 1960s; or, there’s the more puzzle route, especially thinking “Why is Jeopardy! making such great pains to not outright give us any years here?” And that’s because this would be much too easy if the actual years were given.

- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Dan $17,200 Michelle $13,600 Sarah $1,200)
Sarah: Bet whatever you like; you need two big overbets to have a chance. (Actual bet: $1,200)
Michelle: Bet between $3,601 and $6,400 for the best chance of victory. (Actual bet: $5,000)
Dan: Standard cover bet is $10,001. If you do want to play for a Triple Stumper like it appears you have, I might suggest betting between $2,801 and $3,599, as that still covers Michelle’s range of bets. (Actual bet: $0)
