Correct response: What is The Alamo?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
After the Alamo fell in 1836, the site was largely abandoned, but the U.S. Army leased the property at times until 1876. The San Antonio diocese sold the property to Texas in 1883 for $20,000.
You can find more information at the Texas State Library.

I’m guessing that with the Senate hearings today people in the Chicago area will not see Jeopardy!
Also most of the Fox affiliates will air Thursday Night Football.
Will we ever see the episode of September 27, 2018? What time will it be shown?
Contact your local station.
Are we supposed to name the website that runs Jeopardy episodes…?
It will probably be shown tonight on CBS tonight at 7:30 but I have choir practice, so I hope somebody will provide you with a report. I got the answer right away.
ABC wrapped up its coverage of that Faulknerian spectacle right at 7:00. Living in the Philadelphia market, I felt confident that the show would air in the usual slot tonight, as an entire category featured clues from WPVI anchors. (WABC in New York also aired J! at 7:00.)
I charted the game at Andy’s request, so the customary full stats should appear later this evening.
I can’t provide all of the stats you usually have but I hope this helps.
At the end of the Jeopardy round:
Evelyn $6,000
Michael -$200
Katie $3,800
At the end of the Double Jeopardy round:
Evelyn $15,200
Michael $10,000
Katie $12,400
The Final Jeopardy wager and final scores:
Evelyn wager $9,601 final score $24,801
Michael wager $9,900 final score $19,900
Katie wager $4,000 final score $16,401
Thank you!

Using the Pi Day clue in a country that follows the month before the day calendar convention was a bit of a half-baked idea.
