It's usually a fairly easy question for regular players in Celebrity Jeopardy. I goofed and said Van Gogh but like most Celebrity Jeopardy players none of them even tried.
I think you got those swapped around. AGG's home is the prairie, not New England. The author did it the opposite, and they lived in New England. Edit: The answer's wrong, but prince Edward Island is not what they're guessing is New England, they think it is like prairie.
If you know “Manifest Destiny”, then the Texas one was easy. I think the Hitler one was really easy, but no one on that stage wanted to write Hitler fearing embarrassment from being wrong.
@@patrickstewart3446well it's a most final way "to leave power", isnt it? I got Hitler right off. Kinda helps I studied him, read many books, watched Docs, and wrote 3 diff papers on him when I was in school. I think back then FDR's first term, he was sworn in on March ??, 1933. Hitler came to power end of Jan 1933. ......... There's a Jeopardy Q for you: "name the one U.S. President who served a full term in office but DID NOT serve a full 4 years? I forget which term, maybe 1st to 2nd, for FDR. Cuz next term he was sworn in on Jan 20th (they changed it). So March ?? To Jan 20 is less than a full year, so term was less than 4 full years.
1. No idea 2. I said Micronesia 3. Rembrandt - easy one 4. Yep Texas 5. Nope 6. Tennessee 7. Navratilova 8. Ugh I thought Hitler was too easy so I said Mussolini 9. Totally forgot about Anthony Hopkins 10. No idea
Honestly, I’m completely befuddled that none of the contestants got “Who is(/was) Hitler?”. Hitler took power January 30, 1933, FDR took power as US PotUS March 4, 1933; FDR died April 12, 1945, Hitler ended his life April 30, 1945. That was, IMHO, by far the easiest of the clues.
The Tennessee one wasn’t too bad. I quickly figured out the vacant for 4 years clue was referring to the Civil War, which meant the President was Andrew Johnson. As long as you remembered the category was 19th Century, connecting the dots to the end of the Civil War should not have been that difficult.
The seat was vacant not because Johnson resigned when Tennessee seceded but because Lincoln appointed him as Military Governor of Tennessee in 1862 and put him in control of land that the Union forces had reclaimed in battles. He also was re-elected to that same senate seat in 1875 but only served a few months of the term before he died. He is the only President to serve in the Senate after serving as President.
I knew one immediately and am shocked none of them got it. I had a good feeling about one and also got that one right. There was one that I should have known but didn't.
Several years ago, Alex announced the Final Jeopardy catagory as "Five Letter Words" [sounds simple enough??]. The clue went like this: "The word 'telephone' was first part of Websters Dictionary in its 1892 edition. This related word also made its debut in the same edition." I had no idea of the proper response, and the contestants wrote: "phone", "phone", "?" [nothing]. Alex said the correct response is "Hello". Everyone was surprised to realize that such a common word today was an obscure colloquialism not warrenting a dictionary entry in years past. The word was promoted by Alexander Graham Bell as a proper short and efficient greeting for telephone use, rather than the formal but elaborate "Good morning, how is your day" etc that unnecessarily tied up too much early precious phone line time.
And that's why many other languages similar-sounding variations of "hello" (e.g. "Allo" in French) exclusively for answering the telephone. On a different note, I'm sure I would have done much better with the category "Four-Letter Words."
Mike Richards, former EP of Jeopardy who was one of the guest hosts following Trebek's death. He was announced as the new host starting Season 38. After many controversies about him surfaced, however, he was ousted as host after just a week.
Latin American History: Following her 1952 death, the city of La Plata, Argentina briefly renamed itself in her honor. All three contestants whiffed. One response of "Who is Frida Kahlo?" and two blanks. Come on, how can you forget Eva Peron?
IMO, the hardest Final Jeopardy! was from 2005 in the second game of the first semi-final in the Ultimate Tourmament of Champions between Jerome Vered, Pam Mueller and Frank Spangenberg. The category: Words from Latin.
I thought Rembrandt had to be a trick question given the title of the video, then the Hitler one was just crazy easy. That's a basic piece of trivia about those two. Terrible choices. A couple of good tough ones, especially forgetting the category. Anthony Hopkins was pretty easy as well.
I know this won't show up here (I wish I would), but I remember the last of the 3rd set (neon set), no one got the final Jeopardy question right. The category was Airplanes. The answer was This Dutch company whose founder made the Red Baron's triplane went bankrupt in 1996. The correct question was What is Fokker?
I only got Polynesia, Rembrandt, Hitler, Navratilova. Pathetic. I would have gotten "Texas" but didn't take into account the category "US History" and said Liberia.
Hardest Final Jeopardy Rounds...? Then how come several involve multiple contestants getting correct answers? Not to mention one that I new (Texas), one that I was able to guess (Anthony Hopkins), another that I didn't guess right but was in my short list of possibilities (Hitler), and one that in the question narrowed it down to only a dozen possible options (there aren't that many southern states). There have been some much harder final jeopardy questions over the years.
I thought of The Fantasticks but couldn't think of the name! "Why did the kids put jam on the cat? Why woujd the kids do something like that? They did it 'cause we said NO!"
All three players have left for nothing except for a total of $10,000 with no money at all (zero dollars, that is.) I'm surprised they don't have much. But that's all right. They only got $10,000 for their charity, along with Alex bidding farewell to the three contestants who got every question wrong. They missed several correct responses in order to pay off these amounts of their ridiculously empty and low score which means they get to take home 10 grand and split the dough right here in the middle. And remember, no one is leaving empty-handed. Especially with one or two players remaining at the end of Jeopardy.
@@haweater1555: They’re breaking up the ‘e’ and the ‘a’ in the middle into 2 separate sounds. At first, the pronunciation made no sense to me, but I think that’s what they are doing. I finally got it, I think.
There is a technically inaccurate point regarding Anthony Hopkins portraying 2 US Presidents... His portrayal of John Quincy Adams was NOT of President John Quincy Adams, but of Adams as a Lawyer more than a decade after he left the Presidency... Tis a bit "picky" but... Occasionally the Show gets a bit "picky" when it comes to answers, so I felt... What the Hey...
Here's a good Jeopardy Answer for you: Name one of two states where the city, county, and state all have the same name (Note: the city may have something extra attached to it.)
3:49, Is that a loophole in Jeopardy? If, on the final question, all three contestants wager all their money and all get the question wrong, Then they each get 10,000 for playing.
No, I think usually when there’s a tie at $0 at the end, its as simple as nobody returns next show. However, as that was a special Celebrity Jeopardy! show, the minimum that would go to each of their charities was $10,000 if their total was ≤ that.
To adapt a quote from Regis Philbin, "They're only hard if you don't know the answers."
When you can't even make a guess, that think music seems to last an eternity!

As a Canadian, i find Anne of Green Gables' home of Prince Edward Island amusing to be considered part of "New England".😅
They probably had her confused with Anne of Martin Gabels.

And was anyone else as offended as I was the he misspelled Anne? 😂😂😂
Not one of the celebrities could name a Dutch painter???

@@jasonb7812 What's your point? That he's stupid???
If you know “Manifest Destiny”, then the Texas one was easy.

I think the phrase “left power” confused them. I don’t know if they considered death as leaving power.
😁
Good Point!
I forgot it said American History so I was thinking around Europe.
@@patrickstewart3446well it's a most final way "to leave power", isnt it? I got Hitler right off.

Nailed the Rembrandt one
1. No idea
2. I said Micronesia
3. Rembrandt - easy one
4. Yep Texas
5. Nope
6. Tennessee
7. Navratilova
8. Ugh I thought Hitler was too easy so I said Mussolini
9. Totally forgot about Anthony Hopkins
10. No idea

Preach it.
@@robertlevine2827 Amen. LOL
That was pretty easy.
Me too!! If u believe Hitler died then and there, that is. Hummm!!!???
@@aspenrebel There’s never been any evidence proving otherwise.
I don’t understand the title of this video. Maybe two or three of these could even remotely be considered the hardest final Jeopardy’s of all time
I know. Rembrandt seemed obvious (even though no celebrity got it)
Watching that celebrity Jeopardy part, you can see where Will Ferrell got his inspiration for the amazing SNL sketches.
I'm proud of myself for getting the last two!
I wish they would have at least indicated the season of episode, if not the date of the original airing.
One look at Trebek’s mustache gives me the date to within a week.
Jennifer mouthed Navratilova @ 11:56.
I saw that too, she came up with the correct response a bit too late.
The Tennessee one wasn’t too bad. I quickly figured out the vacant for 4 years clue was referring to the Civil War, which meant the President was Andrew Johnson. As long as you remembered the category was 19th Century, connecting the dots to the end of the Civil War should not have been that difficult.
I got the President but not the state lol.
I got that one too lol
Ohhh!! Arent u clever. Reason why vacant 4 years.
@sijdnsd6460 me too.

He also was re-elected to that same senate seat in 1875 but only served a few months of the term before he died. He is the only President to serve in the Senate after serving as President.
I only got the Anthony Hopkins one correct. I had zero idea on any of those others though.
That one was mildly tricky; "Amistad" took place after John Quincy Adams's presidency.
I wish that (at least, occasionally) the original 30-second Final Jeopardy! music be used!!
Daniel Day-Lewis
Lincoln
Year: 2012
2012 was not in the 90s
5:33; Ah, they actually acknowledge the Seniors Tournament for once. For the record, this is from the 1990 Final.
No "they", this isn't an official channel.
;)
I missed 4 but I should mention that I got the president right just the wrong state on one of them. . . also, I can't spell Navratilova.
Woo woo. Got 4 of 'em.
I Know Season 33 is the most difficult final Jeopardy ever.
Congratulations, George Soule! You are the 1990 Seniors Champion!
$25,000 on the nose!
George, we'll see you in the 1990 Tournament of Champions. Bernard & Hank, great run, but I'm sorry. It's over.
I got 2of them ŕight
Which 2 did you get?
I knew 5 of them and had a 50/50 shot atca sixth, the one about tge world leader who died after FDR. But I chose the wrong one.
It was probably a royalties thing. With a charge for every time the video is viewed.
That could run into some serious coin.
7 out of 10. Not bad
Hitler was so obvious that I thought it had to be someone else.
its interesting listening to all the various versions of the final jeopardy music
I knew one immediately and am shocked none of them got it. I had a good feeling about one and also got that one right. There was one that I should have known but didn't.
Martina Navratilova was my fourth correct answer.
I do think there are some recent ones that don’t give enuf context to answer it
I read Sarah, Plain & Tall in third grade, so the first one was easy for me.
I only got numbers 1, 3, 5, and 9 correct! I had five incorrect responses and I left #10 blank.

But Bell, I believe, was known to be in favor in favor of answering by saying “Ahoy! Ahoy!”
And that's why many other languages similar-sounding variations of "hello" (e.g. "Allo" in French) exclusively for answering the telephone. On a different note, I'm sure I would have done much better with the category "Four-Letter Words."
AHOY
Or "Ahoy!".
@@robertlevine2827home; milk; beer;
I got Sarah, Plain and Tall, Rembrandt, Anthony Hopkins and one other
I got 3 correct - as long as Sarah, Plain and Tall satisfies for the first question!
Got all except the first and last ones. (Finally remember David Brat at the 25 second mark, had no idea about the coach.)
I was able to come up with Anthony Hopkins, 1990s pop culture is a category I do well in.
Who was the second host? I don't have a television so I haven't watched Jeopardy for quite some time.
Mike Richards, former EP of Jeopardy who was one of the guest hosts following Trebek's death. He was announced as the new host starting Season 38. After many controversies about him surfaced, however, he was ousted as host after just a week.

With the second one...Why do you have to keep including this evil man, who was really only host for one week?
@BSC8987 He was the executive producer of Jeopardy and wanted desperately to be the host, BUT he posted sexual deviated comments on online media
@@BSC8987 I think the term evil is a little overboard
The World Leaders question (Hitler) question was very misleadingly worded. Most people would not equate suicide with "leaving power".
Bernard’s “hair”. Wow
I KNOW!
What the hell is with that guys hair at around the 6 minute mark? Holy crap!
I got 3 of them right at least. Unfortunately I guessed Van Gogh for the Dutch artist, not Rembrandt and didn't know Texas had ever been a country.
Rembrandt was one I got right, thanks to a book series he plays a part in.
I thought Rembrandt had to be a trick question given the title of the video, then the Hitler one was just crazy easy. That's a basic piece of trivia about those two. Terrible choices. A couple of good tough ones, especially forgetting the category. Anthony Hopkins was pretty easy as well.
I found the Hitler one hard like them BECAUSE how obvious it is, he gets filtered out in my mind.
1:58 How could they even consider this guy when they had Ken Jennings on deck?
I don’t think that he was that bad.
Because he was the producer at the time and hired himself as host.
