Who Won ‘Jeopardy' Today? (June 4, 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 "U.S. DEMOGRAPHY."
The clue: "The United States' 3 most densely populated municipalities lie along a 3.5-mile stretch of Palisade Ave. in this state."
The answer: "What is New Jersey?"
McFerrin, trailing by $2,200 at the end of the DJ round, wagered his entire total of $11,400 on FJ, answered correctly, and doubled his score to $22,800.
Guan, who had the lead going into the final with $13,600, was unable to overtake McFerrin's final total, wagering $4,400, getting it wrong ("What's Florida?"), and dropping to a second-place score of $9,200.
Moskop, who came in with $7,200, also fell short, with a wager of $6,401 and a wrong answer ("What is New York?"), getting her the third-place spot with $799.
McFerrin will be back on Friday for his fifth attempt.
