Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows in the history of American television. It has captivated viewers for over six decades with its offbeat format, interesting participants and intelligent questions. The show is currently in its 38th season. It would be fair to say that this season is quite memorable as far as Jeopardy! is concerned because of talented participants like Matt Amadio and Amy Schneider.

Mattea Roach, a Toronto-based teacher, is currently on a 13-day historic streak. She is the first Canadian to hold a streak this long and the 13th player in the history of the game to have 10+ winning streak.

The final question of the show is one of the main attractions of the game for the audience because it gives them a chance to participate from the comfort of their homes. Participants can choose to either go all in and play for the big win or bow out with the winnings without taking a risk.

Guessing the answer to the final round ahead of the episode is a favorite ritual for fans of Jeopardy!. Read on for clues and answers to the final round of the April 23 episode.


Clue and solution to the April 22 Final Jeopardy!

The final round of Jeopardy! has an interesting format. The participants are given the solution beforehand, and they have to figure out the question. There is a new category for each episode. Mattea Roach will be up against Claire Dozier, a non-profit professional, and food technologist, Anna Meyer, today.

For April 22, the category for the final question is "Historic Names." Considering how vast the topic is, it can be difficult to predict what direction the question might take.
