Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Season 38 begins September 13 with the return of 18-day champion Matt Amodio; in the interim, Jeopardy! is running four weeks of reruns. The first two weeks will be the 10 “Alex Around the World” episodes that ran in his memory in late December; the 2021 Tournament of Champions, hosted by Buzzy Cohen, will air from August 30 through September 10. Today’s episode featured a category with Alex on location at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, original air date February 6, 2017.
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.

Check out a brief opinion piece on the recent turmoil from Arthur Chu in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/26/mike-richards-jeopardy-host-guest-arthur-chu/
Does anyone know why the final episode of the Tournament of Champions wasn’t shown? 8/23-8/25 showed the 3 preliminary shows and 8/26 showed the first of the two day final. BUT, on 8/27 it went away. WHY?
Richard:
No, 8/23 through 8/25 were not the three preliminary shows. The recaps for those shows are all on this site.
It just happened that 8/25 and 8/26 had Alex doing categories on location. As did 8/27. That was the point of this two-week block: Alex doing categories on location.
