Good morning! Today is Tuesday, April 20, 2021 (Season 37, Game 147). I thought that Anderson Cooper did a really good job hosting yesterday, and I’m looking forward to his next nine shows! On with today’s game, here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category European Tourist Attractions):
Opened in 1843, it was frequented by Hans Christian Andersen & Walt Disney, who both found inspiration there
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Logan Crossley, a law student originally from Plano, Texas
|
Nina Patel, a marketing manager from Vienna, Virginia
|
Mike Nelson, an actor originally from Chesterton, Indiana (1-day total: $26,600)
|
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Mike did an excellent job yesterday of knocking off a strong three-time champion in Patrick. If he’s got Anderson Cooper’s cadence down, he’ll have another good day on the buzzer and should be able to pull out another win.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Tivoli?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Tivoli, or Tivoli Gardens, is a famous amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark. Hans Christian Andersen found his inspiration in “The Nightingale” there, while Walt Disney visited the park in the early 1950s and was so impressed by it that he modelled Disneyland after it.
Much like Friday’s game, with the big red herring in the Leland Stanford clue leading people to Brigham Young instead, Andersen + Disney is a big red herring for another Copenhagen tourist attraction: The Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, The Little Mermaid was not commissioned until well after 1843.

Andy’s Thoughts
- I thought that Mike bet $1 too little and unnecessarily risked a tiebreaker in doing so.
- Thus far, $43,400 has been raised for the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Haiti.

I guessed Neuschwanstein castle. Construction didn’t start until 1869, though.
Having been to Copenhagen, I immediately thought of Tivoli without falling for the “Utah trap,” as I did last week. Tivoli is a must see, whereas the Little Mermaid statue is no big deal. More imnpressive is the statue of Hans Christian Andersen, which is near Tivoli but outside it. Tivoli is smack dab in the middle of the downtown area, right across the street from the main train station, so it’s impossible to miss.
I guessed Neuschwanstein as well. Fun clue!
Fun clue, I watched the little mermaid a few times so Tivoli came to my mind though I would like to see hans christian andersen statue up close and personal when I get a chance. Not too hard to miss.
Is Tivoli Gardens the wrong answer? That was what came to mind.
Logan made a terrific comeback in Double Jeopardy and had momentum going into Final. He was even in the right city but said aquarium. Did you notice that “Copenhagen” appeared in the text of one of the Double Jeopardy clues? I wonder if this was intentional — to plant a seed for Final Jeopardy — or just a coincidence.
Logan was real close to the right answer. One of the key features of Tivoli is the aquarium. So the answer what is the Coppenhagen Aqauirium was close to being correct. For those of us that have traveled to Copenhagen, this seemed like a real easy question. Tivoli immediately popped into my mind and stuck.
