The "What was Final Jeopardy? I missed it!" Thread

[dcalley]

This post lists places where you can see the category and clue for Final Jeopardy. Please do not discuss individual clues here. This is a spoiler-free thread. Most of the sites reveal the answer, but in a way that lets you try to guess first.

• https://www.jeopardy.com/games/new-york-times-clue-of-the-day - The official Jeopardy site has the clue of the day (but no answer, I think) along with a few recent clues with hidden answers. This is the best place to look if it is early in the day.
• http://thejeopardyfan.com/category/recaps - Click on the appropriate day. The answer is explained.
• http://fikklefame.com/category/jeopardy-today/ - Beware the comments along the left. Click on the appropriate day. The FJ answer is explained. Daily Doubles are also shown (with hidden answers).
• http://jboard.tv/ - This is a forum. Look for the thread for the game you want. The third post on the first page will contain the FJ info with hidden answer.
• http://j-archive.com/ - This site is the most thorough, but when it gets updated can be unpredictable. Hover over the FJ category to reveal the answer. It's not exactly  mobile-friendly.

Bump! This will put the thread to the top without pinning it. (And it was pinned before. I remember wondering why.)

Because so many people would ask what FJ was in the main discussion thread, and I thought having this pinned at the top of the forum would help those people get an instant answer (or question--no, wait, answer!).

Bumping again - my local station was quite concerned about tornadoes last night.

And an additional question - is there any place we can see full shows?  I thought someone had mentioned YouTube in the past, but all I can see there is a clip of Final Jeopardy.  Is there some search term I'm missing?

[Jesse]

I've found full episodes just searching Jeopardy and the date.

It seems like a good time for another bump to place the thread at the top(-ish) of the forum.

[Prevailing Wind]

Bump. I see what you did there. Good job!

New season, new bump to the top to help you find FJ.

Those are #2 and 5 on the original list, but I agree, those are my two go-to sites.

My local station pre-empted the show tonight (6/21).

Is there any way online or otherwise to watch it after the fact or am I just out of luck?

Thanks!

You can check Youtube to see if anyone has posted the episode.

If you can’t catch it on YouTube, you can at least find the results:

My two go-tos are j!archive and thejeopardyfan.

If it happens again, maybe check your listings to see if it's shown at another time. My local station has pre-empted episodes many times recently as well, but they generally show it later the same evening. It's occasionally cut a bit because of sports timing or whatever, but I've mostly still been able to watch the episodes. (I record them, so the DVR finds them whenever they're on.)
