Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

In the penultimate game of Season 40, Utah’s Davey Morrison enters the game as champion, thanks to being the only player to get Final Jeopardy correct in yesterday’s matchup. Today, Minnesota’s Krista Boyd and Louisville’s Phil Gatton are your challengers hoping to become champion themselves.

Also, a note regarding tomorrow’s airing, especially if the show airs on an NBC affiliate in your area (major markets here include Atlanta, Detroit, MSP, Charlotte, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Pittzburgh, and San Diego): the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics may result in pre-emptions in your area. Matt Carberry, as he often does, has prepared a Google Sheet of the pre-emptions. Check your local listings!

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

According to the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado, there are many myths surrounding the legend of Margaret “Molly” Brown, many created by Denver reporter Gene Fowler. However, others came from an embellished obituary, including the story that she had been saved from drowning by Mark Twain. While possible—both figures grew up in Hannibal, Missouri—this is now the stuff of legend.

Interestingly, even as such tall tales were published about Brown during her lifetime, she chose not to stop the tales from publication, saying that she would “rather that the papers say something about me than nothing at all,” which is certainly a stance that could also be taken about Jeopardy in the Internet Tabloid Era of the 2020s.
