Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for September 19

Jen became the winner of the September 19 match after a successful Final Jeopardy answer, though it was possible that she could have lost due to a risky bet.

Starting in the lead with $9,800, Jen risked only $4,000 to finish with $13,800 in first place. Chris was not far behind with $9,200, and he also got the right answer. However, he only risked a conservative $1,601, hoping that Jen got the answer wrong. Unfortunately, he ended up in second place with $10,801.

In third place was Steve who risked a large part of his original sum of $5,400. He lost $5,301 and landed in last place with $99 after guessing “The Godfather Part II.”

Final Jeopardy Answer for September 19

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 19, 2024 is “What is Do The Right Thing?”

Despite not winning any Oscars, Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing” (1989) is heralded as one of the most important and culturally significant films in American cinematic history. At the very least, Spike Lee was nominated for Best Original Screenplay while actor Danny Aiello received a Best Supporting Actor nomination.

We suppose that the clue kind of spoiled the ending (though it’s been out for a long time), but it does end with a pizzeria burning down. A photo of Frank Sinatra, along with pictures of other celebrities, were hanging on the wall when it set on fire. That said, Sinatra was so upset with the scene that he gave Lee the silent treatment for a long time, according to an interview by Lee.
