by

On January 13, 2025, the Champions Wildcard quarterfinals kicked off on Jeopardy! This was an electrifying encounter showcasing wit and tactical skill. The competitors were Will Yancey, a history educator hailing from Banquete, Texas; Jen Feldman, a dedicated teacher from Brooklyn, New York; and Paul Clauson, a tax analyst residing in Michigan.

In this tightly fought competition, it was Will Yancey who took home $13,800 and advanced to the semifinals. The final question on Jeopardy! focused on Historical Money.

1489 saw the introduction of the first pound coin by King Henry VII. This coin was known as what Henry himself was referred to at that time.

Will correctly answered by saying the “sovereign,” which clinched his win.

Paul Clauson accurately answered the final question, but he came in second-place because his points were less than the winner’s. Jen Feldman didn’t get any of the Final Jeopardy! answers right, but she still has a chance for a wildcard spot thanks to her solid performance during the game.

Previously, historian Yancey from Banquete, Texas, excelled in the Double Jeopardy round using clever tactics, ultimately claiming victory. The Jeopardy! episode also showcased topics such as 2015: 10 Years Ago, Alternative Uses of Texting Abbreviations, Television from This Century, Latinas, and other categories.
