Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for December 12
Breaking the streak, Ashley became the new Jeopardy champion in the December 12 match. Her runaway lead, due to a solid Daily Double in the second round, gave her the victory despite no one being able to get the Final Jeopardy clue right.
With $15,600 heading into the segment, Ashley didn’t need to bet anything to win and so she didn’t. She incorrectly guessed “Dick Van Dyke,” but still became the victor.
Bill almost got the right answer but couldn’t come up with the full name of the show. This brought his total of $6,400 down by $4,000, leaving him in second place for $2,400.
Alex couldn’t come up with an answer, dropping from $5,800 with his wager of $601. He ended with $5,199 total.
Final Jeopardy Answer for December 12
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on December 12, 2024 is “What is I Dream of Jeannie?”
The American fantasy sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie” launched in 1965 and lasted for five successful seasons. It stars Barbara Eden as a beautiful genie and Larry Hagman as an astronaut that finds her genie bottle along the beach in the pilot episode. This bottle, as noted by the clue, was used as a prop as a whiskey decanter, specially a special Christmas 1964 Jim Beam liquor decanter for the bourbon whiskey “Beam’s Choice.”
Apparently, the first season director Gene Nelson saw the bottle and gifted it to series creator Sidney Sheldon, who thought that it would be great as the genie bottle with a new paint job.
