More information about Final Jeopardy:
The church choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church (where Martin Luther King, Sr. preached) was the only black church in Atlanta willing to perform at the premiere of 1939’s Gone with the Wind, as Atlanta city officials wanted the performers to dress as slaves and sing spirituals. Incredibly, Hattie McDaniel (who won an Oscar for her performance in the film) was not invited to the Atlanta premiere due to the color of her skin.

Being he was 10 in 1939, I knew it had to be Gone with the Wind of Wizard of Oz.
Wow, another comeback by Morgan in Double Jeopardy, and he showed us that you shouldn’t give up if you want to have a shot at winning. Way to go, Morgan.
Morgan’s MO in his two wins has been starting out slow (3rd after each J! round) then nail two big DDs in DJ! and pull away. His J! round winnings of $2,600 and $1,800 each) are exactly 10% of his $44,000 two-day winnings!
Wouldn’t exactly say he was ‘pulling away’ today. 🙂 After his second daily double his lead was 3X what it was than at the end of double jeopardy. More like hanging on. But kudos. A win is a win.
Yes, he didn’t exactly pull away. He was in third place before each daily double in Double Jeopardy and had the lowest Coryat score of all three players. Into Final Jeopardy, all three players’ scores were close.
Tonight’s match wasn’t shown in my market (a US Senate debate took precedence), so kudos again, Andy, for your dedication to this site and its detailed stats and recap.
I know the people in charge of Jeopardy! had to come up with extra weeks of reruns starting next week, but I wonder how fans feel about the “Big Wins” series coming up?
