What was the final Jeopardy! answer and question today? Didn't get back in time to see it?

Subject / Writers


These two New England writers, both whom died in the mid twentieth century, each are the winners four Pulitzer Prizes each.

(Stop reading if you think you know it! Answer will be scrolled down a bit.)














Who is Eugene O Neil and Robert Frost? All three contestants got it.

Frost popped into my head immediately, I didn't even think of O'Neill.

It's good having "rotating" champions again.

I think tonight is the last show Mayim taped, and then we get Ken for a couple of weeks, maybe the whole rest of the Calendar Year?
More FB J! host battles to ensue, I'm sure. The whole world is so damn polarized, no grey areas anymore, love or hate Mayim, love or hate Ken, not what Alex would have liked.

I got it, (but missed last night's.) It helps being an English Major.

I think it might be next Friday the 5th. Ken returns Monday the 8th, the one year anniversary of Alex's passing, Wonder if he will give a tribute at the beginning?

I got Santiago, Chile. I loved studying maps as a kid.

Jennings is back as host and doing a bang-up job; the clues came fast and the responses even faster. I suppose it also helps having a great trio of contestants!

He seems much more comfortable now than he did in his original guest hosting run. He’s good.

Tonight's Final Jeopardy mentioned the most hated song on the board, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Which Europop song ,which replaced Bohemian Rhapsody at #1 on the UK charts, has its title mentioned in Bohemian Rhapsody? (No one got it.)

Which ABBA song? Dancing Queen was their only #1 in the USA if I recall; I studied AT40 in the 70's but not the British Top 50.

"Mamma Mia"

Correct

I guess it's official, it's Ken and Mayim for the rest of the season!

Hey, the tag-team works for me. Still wish they could have had Norm McDonald guest host one show before his passing, or have Will Farrell, but I'm sure many Jeopardy! viewers would not be amused with either, or SNL (Daryll Hammond) doing his Sean Connery impression for one show on April Fool's day!

In my original post I mentioned it would take some time for Jennings' personality to manifest itself as the host; I think we're seeing some of that now. He's doing a clever spiel at the beginning of every show. Of course, uber-champ Mattea is making it easy.

Another change is promoting the next day's challengers and where they're from at the end of every show -- a good idea.
