When all three contestants get it right, it's definitely not "the hardest of all time."
Some of these were tough, but I was pleased when I got the Astor one correct
I remember when the Music Legends question originally aired and was proud of myself for getting it right...about 2 minutes too late (thanks 'pause')
@@ccam1679 I think that the champion remembered "Aretha, Queen of Soul" only in the last moments, knew he had enough time to write last name only, then stroked out "Elvis" so there was two last names to appear consistent.
@@haweater1555He could have left Elvis in the "building" and it would have counted, but Presley and Franklin sufficed. I snuck in Franklin at the last possible 5 seconds.
I didn't think of Franklin at all, and didn't know she had passed in 2018 (never follo'd her career);
Watching these compilations makes me realize that nobody can adequately replace Alex Trebeck.
This guy was struggling...like a wrestling match, hard to watch.
@ Ken Jennings is the only replacement I can tolerate.
Jennings is good. David Faber, who gave that Historic Businessmen clue, was my favorite of the guest hosts and reminded me a lot of Trebek, but I agree that neither are as good as he was.
eh ken’s doing pretty well. he’s not alex by any means, but he still doing his thing out there.
No balin was the best
1:47
“Is it too soon to start thinking about Ken Jennings comparisons?”
Hilarious how well that comment aged, considering that James ended up going on for 28 more days and became the second-winningest contestant in Jeopardy history, shy by just-under-$60,000 of Ken Jennings’ $2,520,700.
James Holzhauer ended up winning $2,462,216 during his 32-game reign. Sensational.
The way he said "You picked NEVADA?"
I got most of these right! Little Rock, When and Where...I've always thought I'd do well on this show. I've also fully known I'd get saddled with a pop culture or poetry question and blow it lol.
8/10 better than last time.
Easy! 11/10.
wow these were Hard!! i didn't get any
The first question was wildly obvious
Yes it was.
I would suggest when looking for hardest finals, one where all 3 get it right is not so hard. I think they just wanted to show that clip for other reasons.
I miss Alex!😢
Got Astor.
I forgot, was Sixtus The Fifth before or after Fifteth the Sixth?
I’m actually ashamed they couldn’t get the Little Rock one right. 😂🤷🏽♂️
Yes, same here.
I got it but I needed more than 30 seconds
huh, I actually got a few right
the Platypus and Where & When
Embarrassed at how proud I feel when I get them right
Quantum Leap was easy. Utah was my correct guess. Something about the gulls made me think of Utah. Elvis and Aretha were giveaways. Umbria was obvious if you know what the Italian word for shadow is. I knew "sombra" in Spanish and quickly searched my mind for the nearest Italian cognate. I read some Buckminster Fuller in college so that one was easy for me. Waldorf? Astoria? HELLO! John Jacob Astor. Platypus was an easy guess, but so would kangaroo. Spanish Armada was a fairly easy guess if you paid attention to the time frame. Little Rock was easy.. The "Who's on First" is easy if you're familiar with the routine, which few people younger than a certain age are.
I don't think you can call it a hardest final jeopardy when the 3 contestants all get it.
I got Buckminster Fuller and the Duckbilled Platypus.
Randi's everything bet on that presidential library clue was ill-advised. The other players were tied and had to bet either everything or nothing. There was no universe where she helps herself by going from 6000 to 12,000, and the scenario that actually played out: both risked everything and got it wrong, was a very reasonable possibility.
The State Capitals category is the most famous hard category, mainly as the only episode to start with returning co-champions and finish with three losers! It's the only episode I really wanna see!!!
It's a rare day to see co-champions or triple losers.
@@komitkaziWhat's sadder, Mike is the only contestant who never got to return as solo champion!
Quantum leap. Yep, too easy
Chuck from State Birds should've bet $0-$399! He had the win in the bag but he lost it!
Too bad everyone
Why the hell would he worry about betting small to guarantee second when there’s a player on his tail who’s close enough to make the $399 bet not mean crap if she gets it right?
@@masterdoge987 exactly 👍
1 of these was Matt Amodio’s 38th game, his last winning game, before Jonathan Fisher beat him.
Who the hell is Buckminster Fuller???
None of these are exceptionally difficult. It’s more a matter of contestants not considering all information given in a final jeopardy to be relevant in some way when they are tailored to “gettable” for people who do not have specific expert knowledge in that subject.
Hmm.... Watched this video and understood, why I stay in my basement, and am only a " keyboard warrior"- in an unknown world.
I solved only What is a Platypus, sad
I got # 1, 3, 5, 7 correct.
What are the odds? 😄
Some seem like they were hard at the time but not so much now, others I got on the first word of the clue.
@@omgenghis I can almost hear haweater1555 saying: "I can't even"!
A prime # example. Those are all prime numbers I hope, otherwise I'm gonna get it from Mr Newton, Pythagoras and Einstein, I can only hope. Or my 5th grader.
I think I missed sum; I never rem hearing the word Dymaxion (sounds like an old Roman General, lol)
It only would have been hard if the real answer wasn’t QL. I answered that before the music started
God I forget how long Matt Ammodio was around
Matt Amodio won 38 games. Then, on Michael Davies’ 1st day as executive producer, soon to be 11-Day Champion: Jonathan Fisher defeated him.
Was Lavar serious in the way he pronounced where and when? I thought I was watching Stewie on Family Guy.
Exactly, he was the worst guest host of all.
What was the 1957 event in Little Rock? Poor hosting by Trebek there.
The Little Rock Nine was an early civil Rights event where nine African Americans integrated Little Rock High School. Needless to say the transition wasn't the smoothest.
@@komitkazi If I remember, Eisenhower sent the National Guard in to help the students. EDIT: Incorrect. Arkansas Governor Faubus called in the Arkansas National Guard to block the students. Eisenhower called in 1200 paratroopers from the 101 Airborne to escort them. I got it once I saw what the category was.
He said what it was. The Little Rock 9.
Spanish Armada! 1588
Those questions were so easy.. did I suddenly get smart or was I just intimidated by this programme..
B.B. King passed away in 2015.
On that "musical monarchs" clue, I thought the correct question/answer was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, because the former was the "King of Rock and Roll," and the latter was the "King of Pop." Well, I was right about Presley, but I was wrong about Jackson, because the right question/answer was "Who were Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin," the latter being the "Queen of Soul." I didn't even THINK about her, and apparently, neither did any of those three contestants.
On that "Sports And Comedy" clue about the two of the "five w"s of journalism that were NOT part of Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" skit, I can't believe one of those three contestants thought one of the "w"s was "WHO"!
WAS HE OUT OF HIS MIND?
"Who" was not only a part of the routine, IT WAS PART OF THE TITLE! The sketch was called "WHO'S On First"! If it wasn't part of the title, there would have been no point of including it in the routine, and if it wasn't in the routine, there would have been no point of putting it in the title.
DIDN'T THAT IDIOT LISTEN TO THE CLUE, OR WASN'T HE TAUGHT HOW TO LISTEN, OR HOW TO THINK?
That was a pretty good guess.
And his other w was what. Even a caveman knows who is on first and what's on second. He clearly never struck out or come into contact with the Mighty Casey at bat.
Well, the “idiot” was on Jeopardy, did you ever make it?
I think he got the question backward.
I can't believe I drew a blank on #1! I did get numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, & 10 correct. I went with the wrong musicians, the wrong German, and the wrong city on 3, 6, & 9, respectively.
Michael Jackson was long buried by 2018. The trick was to realize that Monarch isnt strictly a paternal title. Only when i considered this did Aretha come to mind=Queen of Soul=BOOM . shaka laka
I was guessing Prince until I remembered he didn't die in August. I remember when I heard of Elvis's death.
NEE-chuh
Second syllable is a schwa.
😑
Who's on First base?
I Don't Know.
*THIRD BASE*
How is a question everyone answered correctly one of the hardest?
Probably because a lot of people born in more recent generations would likely not know it, or at least, not in as many numbers as older people. Just my guess.
I’m tempted to say the first one, “What is [a] Quantum Leap?” is too easy for this list, but considering this likely is a standard “countdown” style video, it most likely eked in at #10. There was just enough info supplied by the answer to get me to think of the proper question on that one.
I’d give myself ½ credit if half-right answers counted as correct on the show, so I missed the music category. I only mention it because everybody can guess Elvis Presley, but I l’m born and raised in Michigan and I was immediately distrautht and embarrassed when they said Aretha Franklin. I live literally maybe 75-90 minutes tops from Detroit, heard about her death in the news 6 years ago and still couldn’t get it...D’OH! *🤦*
I was able to use the hometown of Waldorf to think of the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, and am enough of a history buff to recall the name John Jacob Astor.
For the duck-bill platypus one, I thought of the Southern Hemisphere category, picked something and threw a dart at the board. Dumb luck saved me on that one. *😅*
Finally, as a long-time enjoyer of baseball, again a history buff, and having been to Cooperstown, NY and the MLB Hall of Fame museuk where Abbott and Costello’s brilliant “Who’s on First?” sketch plays non-stop and having seen MANY reactions to it in the past few years, I instantly went through all the positions and their names, as one of the contestants also seemed to try to do. Eliminating Who (1st), What (2nd) and Why (LF) left where and when.
So, yeah, I somehow amazed myself and got 4/10 here. With a little more thought I might’ve gotten Utah and Little Rock, but I didn’t want a video on *⏸️* all day LOL.
Again, how can these be the "10 Hardest" when the very first question was answered correctly by all contestants? OP, are you trying to tell the world you don't know anything about science? Contact Trump - he may have a cabinet position left for you!
Contestants need to brush up on classic comedy. All missing the who's on first question. Especially saying who and what.
Quantum Leap was incredibly easy. These are supposed to be the HARDEST Final Jeopardy questions?
I believe Clinton's library is in North Little Rock. Two different cities.
These just simply aren’t the hardest of all time. Extremely annoying, clickbait title
I know right? Quantum Leap??? I nailed that and I know nothing about physics.
Still fun.
You can't quantify what is subjective . "Golf wizard" sums it up.
Most of them sounded pretty hard to me. I knew the correct response to that Little Rock clue, though.
@@TheSaltydog07exactly what I thought!! 😊
Forgot how absolutely horrible LeVar Burton was. Wow, his hesitation, stumbling, pronunciation of the answers like Stewie, absolutely awful.
0 for 10.... pathetic
The first one should not be on here, especially considering all 3 contestants got it correct. I had it before Alex even finished reading the clue.
Probably younger generations mostly have never heard of that terminology, hence why it made it on here. Just my best guess.
@@a.grimes4202 I only got it because I was a fan of the show.
Karen’s
Dumb luck
Worthless clickbait. The first one here was a 1/10 difficulty that all three contestants got just as quickly as I did. The title says "hardest" not "easiest" so I was expecting something brutal that stumped both the masses and the contestants. That physics one did neither.
And the other 9...?
