Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category TV Props) for March 21-22, 2026 (Season 41, Game 69):

A prop central to the title character on this ’60s sitcom began as a special Christmas edition whiskey decanter

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Alex Cousins, a writer & editor from Buffalo, New York

Ashley Chan, a publicist from Lewisville, Texas

Bill McKinney, a VP of restaurants & bars originally from Boston, Massachusetts (3-day total: $46,800)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

After over six months running through a series of ToCers in March through May, our weekend encore presentations now move to December 2024, beginning with Bill McKinney attempting to get win #4 against Ashley Chan and Alex Cousins.

Certainly, I’m guessing that a number of CBS affiliates might be moving this weekend’s encore presentation to late night Saturday thanks to March Madness, but I figured I’d stil put the information up anyway because it’s still airing in some places!

Correct response: What is I Dream of Jeannie?

The prop bottle, which held the title genie (Jeannie) in I Dream of Jeannie, is in the Smithsonian, and is described as a “repurposed 1964 Jim Beam Christmas edition glass whiskey decanter painted with Middle Eastern design motifs on a purple base paint layer”.

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the March 21-22, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Note: If you’d like to see the full statistics from this game, check out the original recap, from December 12, 2024.

Game Recap:

Alex Cousins found the game’s first two Daily Doubles, splitting them, and then the protracted search began for Daily Double #3. As it turned out Ashley Chan found it eventually, betting enough to ensure she’d keep her runaway position with a correct response.

That runaway game was more than enough to insulate Ashley from the Triple Stumper that ensued in Final Jeopardy (although Bill came close, naming the title character and not the entire sitcom) as Ashley became your new champion.

Next weekend’s encore presentation will feature Ashley going for victory #2 against Ram Murali and Carla Winston.

Scores going into Final:

Ashley $15,600
Bill $6,400
Alex $5,800

Tonight’s results:

Alex $5,800 – $601 = $5,199 (What is ?)
Bill $6,400 – $4,000 = $2,400 (What is Dick van Dyke? Jeanie?)
Ashley $15,600 – $0 = $15,600 (What is Dick Van Dyke?) (1-day total: $15,600)

Game Stats:

Ashley $14,400 Coryat, 19 correct, 1 incorrect, 33.33% in first on buzzer (19/57), 0/0 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
Alex $6,800 Coryat, 11 correct, 4 incorrect, 21.05% in first on buzzer (12/57), 0/1 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
Bill $6,400 Coryat, 14 correct, 3 incorrect, 26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57), 1/2 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
Combined Coryat Score: $27,600
