    • Thanks to Jay Johnson for providing me with a full chart of this game, and thanks to Mark Barrett for additional assistance with today’s game.

    Sure you got the right FJ??? Wasn’t it supposed to be about U.S. Senators?

  3. Jay Johnson | May 25, 2017 at 2:48 pm |

    Andy has it right, John. FJ is a video clue. The Clue of the Day on the J! site came up during the U.S. Senators category during the DJ round.

  4. Kathy | May 25, 2017 at 4:43 pm |

    I’m just thankful for this site. Jeopardy! Is on at 3:30 in the Chicago area & today’s game is superceeded by a Cubs game so at least I know who won. Thank you, Andy.

    I am grateful too on choir practice nights (Thursdays) since my old VCR doesn’t seem to want to work anymore.

  6. Grumpy | May 25, 2017 at 10:37 pm |

    I guessed the Mutant Ninja Turtles. I would think that just the Ninja Turtles would work, too…
