Happy Thursday! Today is Day 4 of LeVar Burton’s hosting stint; $102,400 has been donated thus far to Reading is Fundamental. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Cities) for Thursday, July 29, 2021 (Season 37, Game 219):
This Colombian port of 1 million people gets its name from Phoenician for “New Town”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Bryan Cracchiolo, an assistant registrar from White Plains, New York
Dana Rosner, a sales manager from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (6-day total: $194,800)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Matt has found and hit his stride, for sure. Yesterday was a very dominant performance, and if not for the six incorrect responses it would have been even more dominant. Averaging 4.5 incorrect responses per game, though, leaves him at least partly vulnerable to one of those incorrect responses coming at an unlucky time for him.
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 Cartagena?
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.)
Cartagena, Colombia gets its name from the Spanish city of the same name, which was founded by the Phoenicians as “Qart Hadasht”, or “New Town”; the more famous Phoenician city of Carthage has the same general etymology. The Colombian Cartagena is a major Caribbean port of the country and has existed since the 1500s.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- $179,400 has been donated thus far to Reading is Fundamental; $2,635,226 has been donated on behalf of all hosts.
$74,000 is the 21st-highest one-day total of all time on Jeopardy! and the 3rd-highest of anyone not named James Holzhauer.
- $39,000 is the second-best Coryat Score of all time. It’s $200 short of Ken Jennings’ record of $39,200, set in Ken’s 7th game on June 10, 2004.
- Including Final Jeopardy!, Matt’s performance of 44 correct is 1 short of the known record for correct responses in a single game (Ken Jennings had 45 correct in a game on multiple occasions.)
- Ken Jennings’ best “in first on buzzer” performance was 46/56, in his 35th game on July 20, 2004
