j-archive ([https://j-archive.com/](https://j-archive.com/)) is your friend. You must have watched a rerun as the July 25, 2025 correct response was William Randolph Hearst  
I searched your response and it appears in 5 Final Jeopardy! responses:

oooh, I’m sorry, but he asked about Celebrity Jeopardy.

_Celebrity_ Jeopardy.

The clue was, “Called the premier movie industry event for the Balkans, this festival began 30 years ago when the city was under siege.”

Oops, poor reading on my part. J! archive does not have Celebrity Jeopardy!.  
Still, I found out that you can search for responses there. Also interesting that that response happened 5 times in regular Jeopardy!.

I blame the Etruscans
