Who Won ‘Jeopardy' Today? (May 29, 2026) Plus, the Final Jeopardy Answer
There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.
Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

What was Final Jeopardy today?
Final Jeopardy today was in the category "EXERCISE."
The clue: "A WWI internee created this form of exercise, adapting hospital beds as makeshift equipment to rehab injured soldiers."
The answer: "What is Pilates?"
D'Angelo found all three Daily Doubles for the second straight game, entering FJ with a runaway lead of $16,200, compared to Driggs $4,400 and Patrick's $5,800.
Only two contestants got FJ correct, one of which was D'Angelo, who made a relaxed wager of $3,800, adding a total of $20,000 to the prize pot for the day and ending the week with his eight consectuvie win.
Driggs also answered correctly, after nearly striking out, crossing out her initial answer of "calisthenics," and with a wager of $2,000, ended in second place with $6,400. Patrick was the only one who got it wrong, answering "isometrics," down $3,005 due to his wager for a third-place total of $2,795.
D'Angelo will be back next week on Monday for his ninth attempt at victory.
