On March 8, at the High School Reunion Tournament, Jeopardy! Experienced a rare but significant mishap. The player’s ultimate payout numbers were displayed on screen for the opening few minutes of night one of the two-night finals, giving viewers a hint of how the game will end.
The moment was when host Mayim Bialik stated that the $100,000 grand prize and a guaranteed spot in the following Tournament of Champions were the goals of the finals. The moment the camera panned back to the players, their podiums showed their wins rather than being empty.
Viewers quickly discovered the error, and the episode’s conclusion made it clear that the numbers on their podiums did not represent random errors but rather their accurate final results. With $24,000, Jackson Jones of Louisville, Kentucky, won the match. With a score of $13,570, Justin Bolsen from Canton, Georgia, came in second. Third place went to Georgian Maya Wright from Peachtree City, who earned $3,370.
No one was eliminated from the competition because this was the first of two games among these finalists. On Thursday, March 9, Jackson, Justin, and Maya will compete again in the High School Reunion Tournament’s championship game, with the victor being determined by the sum of their earnings.
Some spectators were dissatisfied even though the editing error did not reveal who was eliminated due to the tournament’s structure. Reddit users made theories about what might have led to the mishap.

“I wonder if they had to do a pickup of Mayim saying that line and their reactions after the show was over, and someone forgot to reset the scores or notice that they were still there,” one viewer pondered.
“Yes, for whatever reason, they likely had to reshoot the opening after the show and neglected to erase the scores,” replied another. “I wonder how many people view the finished product before it is sent to the affiliates, and none of them noticed this.”
Fans of Taylor Swift were ecstatic to find categories in other parts of the broadcast that were based on her songs. During the show, “Shake It Off,” “Auntie Hero,” and “‘U Belong With ‘Me'” were sequentially listed on the game board.
“Geographic Name’s the Same” was tonight’s Final Jeopardy topic. The hint is that it shares its name with the capital of one of the original 13 states and is the busiest passenger port in the United Kingdom. What exactly is Dover?
Maya predicts York incorrectly, losing $1,030 and dropping to $3,370. Dover placed a $10,000 bet, and Jackson correctly answered him, increasing his stake to $24,000. Justin also misguessed the response, choosing Annapolis, losing $4,831 and dropping him to $13 570. Did you respond truthfully? Watch tomorrow’s episode of Jeopardy!
