Happy Wednesday! Today’s Day 3 of Robin Roberts’ host stint. Through 2 days, $54,010 has been donated to Be The Match. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category African Monarchs) for Wednesday, July 21, 2021 (Season 37, Game 213):
Some devotees of this emperor who died in 1975 trace his lineage to King Solomon & the Queen of Sheba
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut
Elizabeth Devereaux, a middle school teacher from Lawrence, Kansas
Josh Saak, a traffic engineer from Boise, Idaho (3-day total: $66,405)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Josh has bet conservatively on the final Daily Double in all three games and has ended up just missing a runaway three times. This might provide the small opening that either Matt or Elizabeth would need to end Josh’s streak. If Josh can keep going, though, he’s definitely showed that he’s a Tournament of Champions-level player.
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.

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.)
Haile Selassie was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974, and traced his lineage to Emperor Menelik I, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba from the Bible, as part of the House of Solomon. The dynasty ruled Ethiopia with rare interruption from 1270 until Haile Selassie was deposed in 1974. Selassie is also considered to be the Messiah by many members of the Rastafari movement.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Through Robin Roberts’ hosting stint, $97,410 has been donated to Be The Match. $2,388,826 has been donated in total through all hosts.
The quality of the closed captioning used by Jeopardy! has decreased significantly over the past few years. Does the captioner even sanity-check? It’s getting so bad—”what is Euro” instead of “what is zero”, to give one example from today’s game—that I might even go so far as to say that it may even fall afoul of Canada’s regulations regarding the quality of closed captions. Jeopardy! needs to do better before its affiliates north of the border (and potentially even south of it) fall into legal trouble.
