Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category TV History) for Tuesday, April 25, 2023 (Season 39, Game 162):
The 1980s “Magnum, P.I.” used a soundstage of this long-running drama that had just ended, & even referred to its lead character
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Johanna Stoberock, a fiction writer & adjunct professor from Walla Walla, Washington |
Ian Marquand, a retired broadcaster & state medical board executive from Los Angeles, California |
Dillon Hupp, a development director from North Little Rock, Arkansas (1-day total: $21,999) |
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Arkansas’ Dillon Hupp is your new champion after a strong game yesterday; however, there was a lot to be desired in terms of Daily Double hunting overall; Dillon went to the top row of the board with a Daily Double still out seven different times yesterday. Doing more to keep the Daily Doubles to himself will be crucial for putting together a long run. Today’s challengers are Walla Walla fiction writer & adjunct professor Johanna Stoberock and L.A. retired broadcaster Ian Marquand.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

When Hawaii Five-O was canceled in 1980, CBS didn’t want to let the Hawaii Film Studio go to waste; thus, Magnum, P.I. was also filmed there; in at least one occasion during the Tom Selleck series, “Detective McGarrett” was used as an alias. (Steve McGarrett was the fictional protagonist of Hawaii Five-O.)
I would normally say that this is the sort of Final Jeopardy! clue that plays easier for the home audience—many at home would have watched both of those shows—but I expect at least one challenger today, if not two, to get this correct.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- The Final Jeopardy! betting today was generally strategically sound, even though Johanna made a math error. Ian was essentially covering Dillon, and Dillon was protecting against a possibility that Ian might not cover.
- With regards to clue selection: People are going to play the game the way they want to. That doesn’t make them any less of a person. (And I’m sure that Sarah was still feeling frustrated in the studio that the players finished STATESMEN & WOMEN even though the Daily Double was already found).
- Today’s box score: April 25, 2023 Box Score.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Johanna $15,600 Ian $11,600 Dillon $10,600)
Dillon: While Ian can’t both win a Double Stumper with Johanna and cover you, you’re probably best playing for a Triple Stumper here. Limit your bet to $2,599. If not, go all in to force Ian to cover you. (Actual bet: $10,600)
Ian: You’re in what is known as Stratton’s Dilemma—you can’t both cover Dillon and win a Double Stumper with Johanna. Either go all-in, or bet $1,601 (covering Dillon’s small range). (Actual bet: $11,000)
Johanna: Standard cover bet over Ian is $7,601. (Actual bet: $8,601)
