Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After last week’s fireworks, we have Hasan Minhaj, Wil Wheaton, and Troian Bellisario competing tonight for the right to join John Michael Higgins in the semi-finals on November 13! Unlike last week, though, none of today’s contestants have any Celebrity Jeopardy! experience.
On a more personal note, I’d like to thank everyone for their support of the Fall 2022 Gamers vs. MS 168-hour charity Twitch relay. Over the past week, nearly $14,000 was raised for the MS Society of Canada—did you know that 1 in 385 Canadians live with multiple sclerosis? You can also find more information about Gamers vs. MS specifically at gamersvsms.ca.
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 can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Would you, by any chance, know if every episode of Celebrity Jeopardy has already been filmed?
The third set of nine contestants tape November 6, per On Camera Audiences.
After getting only one of the commercial break clues, I was nervous about the FJ, and the Category seemed like it was a disguised pitfall. But then I saw the clue – 1863? Whitman? Who else could it be besides AL? I’m always happy for the easy ones, but especially with the ToC starting tomorrow, where I’m thinking correct FJ responses are going to be hard to come by.
I did a little better on the commercial break clues, but not having sufficient time to think is typically my biggest problem.
And you’re obviously right about the upcoming ToC FJ responses. Sometimes all the time in the world doesn’t conjure up a correct response . . . 🙄
Politician, 1863 — who else? I’ve always thought his image is the personification of dignity and wisdom. Love his memorial. Nothing “ugly” about him. Forgot for a moment how to spell his last name, the inclusion and placement of the “l” . . .
Until I read his biography on Wikipedia I had the IMPRESSION that Wil Wheaton was like Mayim, Jodie Foster, and, some other actors, who had managed to combine thier acting careers with advanced academic degrees. I was wrong, though watching tonights CJ! you can tell he is well read.
On tonight’s Final Jeopardy. Knowing Whitma’s era, and, seeing the reference to Hooiser, I correctly deduced Lincoln. (Though Lincoln spent his political life in Illinois, Kentucky can say he was born there. and, Indiana has some claim to him as well)
This was a Final where if you had a least a little knowledge of Whitman, and, could decipher the hints in the clue the correct reponse was easy.
Andy; the site you quote says the next CJ! episode will be taped the same day it will air? Isn’t that very unusal for a show like Jeopardy? I know it’s done for shows like Jimmy Fallon and, the like. But for Jeopardy? I remember reading that Micheal Davies talked about doing a series of Jeopardy! games live, saying that the thought made the producers extremly nervous. I’d imagine same day showing of a game would do the same.
Bill:
No — Episodes 7 and 8 have already been taped; Episode 9 will tape November 6.
I though it was sort of funny that someone would remember there was a president kind of around that time (around 15 years earlier, actually) named Polk, but not remember his first name, but guess Alexander. James or William would have been a more likely guess for first name, but then there is the thing about just ‘Polk’ probably being sufficient if it had actually been him.
I wonder if somehow she conflated Alexander Pope and James Polk and combined them under the pressure of the lights.
