About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Friday, 30 June 2023
Japan’s national anthem, known as “Kimigayo,” translates to “The Reign of His Majesty” or “The Emperor’s Reign.” Its lyrics have their roots in a Waka poem that dates back to over a thousand years, during the Heian period from 794 to 1185.
Composed of just 32 syllables, “Kimigayo” is among the shortest national anthems in the world when performed with music. While it has served as the de facto national anthem of Japan since 1888, it was officially recognized in this role only in 1999.

Final Jeopardy Video – Friday, 30 June 2023
Watch all the videos from today’s Jeopardy episode below, including highlights, behind the scenes outtakes and full episodes.
Final Jeopardy is the final round of the popular American television game show Jeopardy!, in which participants test their knowledge in numerous areas by answering questions. In Final Jeopardy, participants are given a single clue and must wager a percentage of their existing earnings based on their confidence in their ability to successfully respond.
Each contestant surreptitiously writes down their wager during the commercial break. The Final Jeopardy clue is presented when the programme resumes, and participants have 30 seconds to write down their solution in the form of a question (e.g., “What is…?”). When the timer runs out, the host, reveals each contestant’s response and wager in ascending order of their pre-Final Jeopardy scores. The scores of contestants are adjusted based on whether their response is correct or incorrect, as well as the amount wagered. At the end of the round, the contestant with the highest score is proclaimed the winner.
