Today's Final Jeopardy! answer: Friday, March 14, 2025
Jeopardy! is back with a brand new game tonight. Yesterday, we saw Jack Goldfisher win for the first time, earning a huge prize and securing his spot on tonight's episode. Tonight's episode marks season 41, Game 135 of the game show and brings us three seasoned and talented contestants who will compete for the big prize and a chance to play again next week.
Created by Merv Griffin in 1964, Jeopardy! is a game show on television. It gives a twist to the pattern of traditional quiz competitions by reversing the question-and-answer format of the game. Instead, participants are given clues from which they have to identify an answer. There are three rounds to the game and the final answer must be given in the format of a question.

Jeopardy! final solution: Friday, March 14, 2025
The clue and correct response for Friday, March 14, 2025, are as follows:
Clue: A review of this musical noted “sacrilege” & said it was “blasphemous” but “its heart is as pure as…a Rodgers & Hammerstein show”
Correct response: What is The Book of Mormon?
Ben Brantley, in his 2011 review of The Book of Mormon, wrote:
Now you should probably know that this collaboration between the creators of television’s “South Park” (Trey Parker & Matt Stone) and the composer of “Avenue Q” (Robert Lopez) is also blasphemous, scurrilous and more foul-mouthed than David Mamet on a blue streak. But trust me when I tell you that its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show.
The plot of the musical follows two Mormon missionaries in Africa as they attempt to preach their faith to the inhabitants of a remote village in Uganda. The musical won nine Tony Awards and grossed over $800 million in revenue. The musical even ran for over 5,000 performances at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.
