Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. Geography) for Monday, April 24, 2023 (Season 39, Game 161):

Interstate 25 connects these 2 state capitals, 1st & 2nd in elevation, & in between runs through No. 3, Denver

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Dillon Hupp, a development director from North Little Rock, Arkansas

Année Tousseau, an editor from Alameda, California

Emma Hill Kepron, a librarian from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (2-day total: $26,000)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

It’s time for a new week of Jeopardy! episodes; this is scheduled to be Ken Jennings’ final week of episodes this season. Our returning champion is Canadian, and a librarian named Emma: Winnipeg librarian Emma Hill Kepron has two victories! Her challengers today are Dillon Hupp from Arkansas and Année Rousseau from Alameda.

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.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Just a reminder to all fans that the rules of Jeopardy! are such that when referring to song titles (and song titles only) that if a contestant gives a correct lyric that contains the correct title, the judges will rule the contestant correct. (It’s known by longtime fans as the “Drive My Car” rule after “Baby, You Can Drive My Car” was accepted in Final Jeopardy on May 31, 2005.)

• On today’s Inside Jeopardy!, even Sarah and Buzzy expressed disappointment at contestants who go back to the same category as the first Daily Double when trying to find the second one. It’s not going to be there. Stop doing it.

• Today’s box score: April 24, 2023 Box Score.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Emma $14,700 Dillon $14,200 Année $3,200)

Emma: Standard cover bet over Dillon is $13,701. (Actual bet: $7,000)

Année: Limit your bet to $2,199—staying ahead of Emma if she covers. (Actual bet: $3,199)

Dillon: Limit your bet to $7,799 to keep Année locked out. (Actual bet: $7,799)
