More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Sun Also Rises is the debut novel of Ernest Hemingway, about American and British expats who travel to Pamplona to watch bullfights and the famed running of the bulls. It was based upon Hemingway’s own trip to Spain in 1925. The book was adapted into a 1957 film starring Tyrone Power and Ava Gardner; Hemingway insisted upon Gardner being cast as Lady Brett Ashley.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Hemant is one of the few Jeopardy! contestants who seems to move the old pub trivia adage “If you can’t be right, at least be funny” to the Jeopardy! stage. He certainly managed to get some reactions out of Alex over his two days on the show.

I meant 8th consecutive not 9th
I was hoping Hermant would win again. Naperville is about 25 miles from my home.
2 days in a row with unplayed Daily Doubles! Even more painful for me watching because the Bible & the Vietnam war are pretty much my strongest subjects. I find it dissapointing that people would rather know about TV & music stars nowadays. It was very enlightening taking a class specifically about Vietnam last year. More people should.
The revolving door of champions is spinning wildly, the stack of unrevealed clues is growing, Growing, GROWING, and Andy, the adage you mention is apropos our buddy Hemant.
Tell us again – when does the College Tournament begin..?
I think it starts next week.
(Admin note: Incorrect information has been removed.)
It does (and has been scheduled for April for most of the season).
Congrats to the 9th champ in 9 days! The # of unplayed clues also rises….
I knew right away it was Hemingway and running of the bulls in Pamplona but wasn’t sure of the book title. I’m glad you had the results because the show will probably be preempted tonight by our Michigan governor holding a Town Hall meeting about her latest decisions. We still don’t have any official virus cases in my county on Lake Michigan but I’m sure there are some.
We have not seen the show in 6 days because our President bumps it away for a rally speech. TV station airs each episode at 12:30 o’dark.
Andy, are we anywhere close to the record for consecutive “one and done” champions? I for one am definitely looking forward to the next two weeks and a reprieve.
I believe the record is 15?
There was 11 in a row in Dec 2017 – Jan 2018 (Johnny Leon thru Sean Sullivan).
