Update: To see who won Jeopardy! on Tuesday, June 7, click here.

A new week of Jeopardy! episodes started on Monday night. Will be another week dominated by the returning champion or has their run come to an end?

It’s been a while since Jeopardy! fans have seen a different face as the returning champion. In fact, it’s been over two weeks!

Who is the current Jeopardy! champion?

Ryan Long, a rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the current Jeopardy! champion. During his 15-game winning streak, Long has banked $299,400.

His competition on Monday included Stephanie Garrison, an actor from Laguna Hills, California, and Eric Ahasic, a meteorologist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The “Jeopardy!” round suggested it would be a tight game as all three players performed well. Ahasic held the lead with $3,600, followed by Long and Garrison both with $2,400.

Things stayed close in “Double Jeopardy!,” too. Ahasic maintained his lead with $10,200. Garrison sat in second with $9,200, and the champ was in third with $6,800.

“Final Jeopardy!” saw only Ahasic answer correctly. That meant he defeated Ryan Long and became the new Jeopardy! champion.

Long finishes in 11th place in the show’s all-time leaderboard for winnings in regular play. Fans will see him again in the Tournament of Champions.

What was tonight’s Final Jeopardy! clue?

Tonight’s “Final Jeopardy!” wasn’t an easy one to crack. Here’s the clue in “Greek Mythology”:

Of the Argonauts seeking the Golden Fleece, these 2 from the same family were from Sparta according to Homer

Who won Jeopardy! tonight, June 6?

To recap, here’s how Jeopardy! finished for Monday, June 6, 2022:

1. Eric Ahasic: $18,401
2. Stephanie Garrison: $3,200
3. Ryan Long: $1

Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Greek Mythology) for Monday, June 6, 2022 (Season 38, Game 191):

Of the Argonauts seeking the Golden Fleece, these 2 from the same family were from Sparta according to Homer

Today’s contestants:


Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ryan Long’s streak is now at 16 games, with Laguna Hills’ Stephanie Garrison and Minneapolis’ Eric Ahasic looking to end the incredible run today. I also would like to say that this sort of run by Ryan is probably the best possible advertisement for the Anytime Test and Zoom auditions, as it has removed the burden of having to travel to audition from any prospective contestant. Travelling to an audition isn’t cheap; thus, the current process has definitely opened up the possibility of being a contestants to significantly more people than the previous in-person audition setup.


PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Twin brothers Castor and Pollux are better known as the twins from the Gemini constellation. However, the two Spartans were also excellent horsemen and hunters who joined the crew of the Argo.

To me, this feels like a “name two famous brothers from Greek mythology and hope that it works out for you” clue, as I’m sure a large number of home viewers would not be aware that Castor and Pollux—despite being very aware of Gemini—were Argonauts.

Game Recap:

Jeopardy! Round categories: On the Coast; Sound Up!; Science Stuff; Movie Titles of a Lifetime (Network); Non-Medical Doctors; It’s Rhyming Day

Today’s game started off as a very competitive 3-way match, with all three players getting in on the signalling device and getting correct responses. By the time the Daily Double came out on Clue #23, Ryan found the Daily Double and looked poised to take a bit of a lead! Unfortunately, in what turned out to the be the match’s turning point, Ryan missed the Daily Double—and it really seemed to throw his game off. Eric held the lead after Single Jeopardy!

Double Jeopardy! Round categories: On the Coaster; Written in Cyrillic; D-Day, the 6th of June; Anthropology; Women Writers; 1992 Films

Ryan’s struggles continued through much of Double Jeopardy!—meanwhile, Eric picked up a True Daily Double early on in the round. He also had a chance to put the game nearly out of reach late, but dropped $5,000 on the game’s third betting clue. Ryan finally found his buzzer mojo late, picking up $4,000 more to come close going into Final, but Eric held the lead. Going into Final, Eric had $10,200 to Stephanie’s $9,200 and Ryan’s $6,800.

In Final Jeopardy! today, Eric was the only correct contestant, which means that Ryan Long’s run ends at 16 wins and Eric Ahasic comes back to defend his title tomorrow! Ryan will be back for the Tournament of Champions in November, though!

Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Eric $10,200 Stephanie $9,200 Ryan $6,800)

Ryan: If Eric and Stephanie bet to cover, they’ll fall to $1,999 and $4,799 respectively. You need to stay above $4,800. Thus, I’d say your maximum bet should be $1,999 today. (Actual bet: $6,799)

Eric: Standard cover bet over Stephanie is $8,201. (Actual bet: $8,201)

Stephanie: Standard cover bet over Ryan is $4,401. (Actual bet: $6,000)
