Final Jeopardy Question for July 14
The Final Jeopardy question for July 14, 2025 is in the category of “Awards” and has the following clue:
In the 50-year history of “Saturday Night Live”, he’s the only cast member to have won an Oscar—& it wasn’t for a comedy

Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for July 14
This time around, Scott slammed the door shut and earned a clear runaway victory in the July 14 match.
Scott had $34,200, which was far ahead of Paul’s $3,600. While he didn’t need to risk anything, he still bet $15,800 and lost it when he couldn’t come up with a response. He still ended up with $18,400 and has a eight-day total of $201,301.
Paul wagered all of his $3,600, but incorrectly guessed Bill Murray (a good guess). He landed in second place with $0.
Unfortunately for Amanda, she couldn’t get out of the hole, ending the second round with -$200. She left in third place.
Final Jeopardy Answer for July 14
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on July 14, 2025 is “Who is Robert Downey Jr.?”
Getting the right answer here will require two pieces of knowledge. The first is knowing that Robert Downey Jr. won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Oppenheimer during the 2024 Oscars. The second is knowing that the actor was part of the Saturday Night Live cast in 1985. That fact will be tougher to remember (maybe not for ComingSoon readers) because he was only around for one season, and it wasn’t a very successful one, which is why the majority of the cast was replaced the following year.
