Who is Dolly Parton?
The album, Pure & Simple, was Parton’s first #1 country album since 1991’s Eagle When She Flies (by Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart), though both 2008’s Backwoods Barbie and 2014’s Blue Smoke reached #2.

Is Jeopardy pre-empted because of the inauguration?
It may be in some markets.
Wow, Andy Saunders! I am surprised the show was still on here today.
The final jeapordy question/answer for Friday January 20 is wrong. Dolly Parton’s 2016 album was called “Pure & Simple” not Love of Many Colors. Her 2016 TV movie was clawed “Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love”. Who ever makes the questions mixed the two and got the question/answer wrong.
The clue did not say the album was titled “Love of Many Colors”, just that Parton referred to it as her “love of many colors album”. You’ll find in the post above the interview (for Nash Country Daily) in which she made the “love of many colors album” statement.
Who noticed Hardy answered a lot of questions without “what is….” and still got points for it????
It sounded that way in the broadcast.
However, it also seemed that the broadcast was simply not picking up Hardy’s phrasing, even though he was phrasing in the form of a question.
If he had failed to do so, the judges would have told us.
i believe hardy andswered two clues in the double jeopardy round, not in the form of a question,which would affect his score and the other players as well,not to mention final jeopardy,which can play a huge part of how much you wager depending on the other players dollar amounts
It is the official editorial position of The Jeopardy! Fan that the ruling as to whether or not a contestant has phrased in the form of a question is a judgement call by the judges, and often we as viewers have not been given full knowledge and the requisite dedicated audio feeds in order to make that call from our couches.
To us, it certainly might sound like phrasing isn’t there, but if it was not there, it is my opinion that the judges would have walked back initial rulings at a Daily Double or during commercial breaks.
Agree with you, Andy. At first I also thought he was (omitting the question phrasing), but after starting to pay much closer attention to his responses, it certainly seemed as if he was just “swallowing” those first 2 words (‘what is’) before the camera could pan to him and you could then see his lips move that way. No way Alex and the staff would have let that go by.
Does anyone know how I might view a re-run of the show since I know the person who was on the video clue about glass-making. I’d love to be able to see that clip. Any ideas for my accessing it? Thanks much!
Sometimes Jeopardy! posts categories to YouTube, but in the absence of that, there likely would not be any legal channels for doing so.
This is to protect the investment of the local stations who have paid for the right to air Jeopardy!, as this scarcity is partly what makes the rights to the show so valuable.
