Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Popular Phrases) for Tuesday, October 5, 2021 (Season 38, Game 17):
This phrase relating nutrition & health was popularized by fruit scientist J.T. Stinson at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Anthony Christopher-Smith, a social worker from Newark, New Jersey
Angie Vroom Givant, a writer from La Crescenta, California
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (34-day total: $1,350,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Matt had one of his strongest performances of his entire run yesterday and his highest single-game total, picking up a staggering $83,000. Tuesday’s been a strong day for Matt historically; we may well see more fireworks today. On the flip side, Matt is always in jeopardy of being defeated. Will today be the day Matt catches an unlucky break?
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 “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”?
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.)
The phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” was adapted from a Welsh proverb from the mid-1860s: “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread”. In the early 1900s, the apple, needing a new method of consumption after the burgeoning temperance movement threatened its use as the main ingredient of alcoholic cider, got new life after “an apple a day…” was popularized; fruit being marketed as a healthy eating choice led to apples remaining an American staple. Stinson was director of the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station when he gave the address at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- $50,000 is tied for the 53rd-best one-day total of all time on the show.
- Not that it ended up mattering, but I was disappointed by Anthony not making his first Daily Double a True Daily Double. Leaving money on the table is not how you beat Matt.
