Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: The Professors Tournament is done, and Amy Schneider gets to resume her run as a 13-day champion, having won $536,400. Will she make it 14 wins tonight? Erin and Do will have something to say about it. The show was running promos for tonight’s game last week, which means that tonight’s game may well be an interesting one!
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, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please 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.)
Not only was Torchy Blane the inspiration for the character Lois Lane, famously Clark Kent (Superman)’s co-worker at the Daily Planet in the DC Comics series, the name Lois Lane comes from the name of the actress Lola Lane, who portrayed Blane in the 1938 film Torchy Blane in Panama.

Erin is a 5th-generation teacher.
Amy has a tattoo of Ozma of Oz (Ozma was in the sequels).
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Amy surpasses Jason Zuffranieri and Roger Craig for #8 on the all-time winnings list (including tournaments). Matt Jackson sits #7 at $611,612.
- At 432, Amy passes Jerome Vered for #10 all time in terms of the number of correct responses given on the show.
- Daily Double wagering is much harder than Final Jeopardy wagering, and DD3 was in a tricky situation today, especially with it being at the $2000 level. Hindsight is also 20-20.
