Are you looking for tonight’s Jeopardy! National College Championship episodes? Tonight’s Quarterfinal #3 information is here, and tonight’s Quarterfinal #4 information is here!
Today’s contestants:
James Cantres, a historian & professor from Brooklyn, New York
Michelle Bemis, a high school history teacher from Allen Park, Michigan
Lawrence Long, a nursing student & stay-at-home uncle from East Bend, North Carolina (2-day total: $43,591)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Lawrence Long won his second game yesterday after a very competitive game; James Cantres and Michelle Bemis take to the stage today in an attempt to prevent Lawrence from reaching win number three.
Also, Tonight at 8:00pm Eastern/Pacific (7:00pm Mountain/Central), the primetime Jeopardy! National College Championship continues on ABC. This airs separately from the daily syndicated games. If you missed last night, recaps of quarterfinal #1 and quarterfinal #2 can be found here at The Jeopardy! Fan. Separate posts for tonight’s quarterfinals will also be created later.
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.

Correct response: What is San Diego?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The very first video uploaded to YouTube could be watched and contestants could still have time to write down “What is San Diego?” on their screens; the video is only 19 seconds long. It was filmed near the elephants at the famous San Diego Zoo and was uploaded by the site’s founder, “jawed”, on April 23, 2005. The video was titled “Me at the zoo”.
The San Diego Zoo itself was founded in 1916 as a result of the animal exhibitions of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. A permanent tract of land in the city’s Balboa Park was set aside in 1921 for the zoo.
We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:

Today’s interviews:
James became a father during the pandemic.
Michelle used “The Big Bang Theory” to help prepare for Jeopardy.
Lawrence had to retrieve a dinghy while sailing from the Bahamas to Florida.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- This was definitely a game that came down to the aggression on Daily Doubles. Lawrence bet much more aggressively than Michelle did, and that was your difference.
