More information about Final Jeopardy:
Devon Island, located in the far north of Canada’s territory of Nunavut, is Canada’s sixth-largest island. It has been inhabited in the past, with an outpost called Dundas Harbour set up in 1924 in an attempt to maintain a patrol presence in the area, but due to ice difficulties, the RCMP detachment there was moved to Ellesmere Island in 1951. Scientists often visit the island due to the area’s similarity to Mars.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $440 has been raised.)

Great game! 3 strong players, tight game, one DD each. This champ could be around awhile as well.
Low number of Triple Stumpers two days in a row, in my opinion a sign of good players. Hard to come by during James’ reign…
In my market they played an episode from 3 o4 days ago on the west coast huge F up .
What was the answer to the Vice President ’80s-’90s got milk question? The sound kind of popped on my transmission and I’m baffled. Thanks.
Aaron Burr.
It wasn’t the sound quality, it was Brad imitating the referenced commercial in which a Hamilton-Burr historian gets called in a radio trivia contest, but is unable to say “Aaron Burr” in an understandable manner because he has just put most of a peanut butter sandwich in his mouth and his empty milk carton leaves him unable to clear his mouth enough to speak clearly.
