Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Movie Music) for Wednesday, May 3, 2017:
Since 1999 many Warner Bros. movies open with the studio’s logo & a snippet of this song made famous in a 1942 film
(correct response beneath the contestants)

“As Time Goes By” is most famous for its use in the 1942 movie Casablanca, as Ilsa Lund (played by Ingrid Bergman) uttered the line “Play it, Sam. Play ‘As Time Goes By.'” upon entering the Café Americain. (“Play it again, Sam” is a famous misquotation.) The line is #28 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes. Since 1999’s Message In A Bottle, Warner Brothers included a snippet of the song in its opening logo, to celebrate the studio’s 75th anniversary (as Casablanca was a Warner Bros. production.)

ToC projection update:
With a projected 72 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.6997 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.2733).
An average of 4.1409 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5505).
An early cutoff took place 25.681% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Ragavan Ramsubramani qualified 24.846% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 30.179% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 7.318% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 1.439% of the time.
(Note: Due to the contingency plans made by the show in case of the since-averted WGA strike, I feel it most accurate to place the cutoff date four weeks into Season 34.)
Miscellany:
- We have seen all 61 clues for the 4th straight game. That is the first occurrence in regular play since October 25-28, 2016.
