The Final Jeopardy clue for Friday, November 29, 2024 is technically about airports but knowledge about classic movies will help. Project manager Laurel Day from Texas became the winner in Thursday’s match on Thanksgiving, supplanting three-time Jeopardy champion Kevin Laskowski. She will try to win once more in today’s episode that features two new contestants, news researcher Susan Beachy from New York and diplomatic security service special agent Nick Pietrowicz from Virginia. Here are the question and answer for Final Jeopardy on 11/29/2024, including the wagers and the winner of the match.
Final Jeopardy Question for November 29
The Final Jeopardy question for November 29, 2024 is in the category of “World Airports” and has the following clue:
The city’s intl. airport opened in 1942, just in time to be the destination of a flight at the end of a movie
So that you aren’t spoiled on the answer, it has been placed at the end of this guide.
Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for November 29
In a very tight race, Susan became the new champion in the November 29 match. A part of her victory is due to her having a slight lead, but it also came from fairly conservative bets across the board. No one got the right answer for Final Jeopardy.
After the second round, Susan had $11,800 and only lost $2,500 with her guess of “Los Angeles.” She still had enough left to win with $9,300.
Nick was well within striking distance, having $10,800 before the segment. But he also got the wrong answer with “Casablanca” (which is the right movie but not what the clue is asking for). He bet a similar amount of $3,001 and ended up in second place with $7,799.
Returning champion Laurel only had $3,800 and risked it all in her wager. She also came up with “Casablanca” and sadly finished in third place with $0.
Final Jeopardy Answer for November 29
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on November 29, 2024 is “What is Lisbon?'”
Two of the contestants had the right idea here. The classic film “Casablanca” released in 1942 is indeed what the clue hints at. From there, it’s all about remembering that the destination of the plane at the end of the movie is Lisbon.
Other than that, there’s not much else to help contestants here unless they know about the history of Lisbon’s Humberto Delgato Airport, which at the time was called Portela. It opened on October 15, 1942 in the midst of World War II, as a neutral airport, making it a lynchpin for smuggling operations to get people in and out of Europe.
