Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Wednesday, March 29, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: WORDS IN THE NEWS 2016
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: NASA wished John Glenn this 8-letter word when he made the 1st U.S. manned orbital flight in 1962 & again upon his passing in 2016
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Tricia Riley, a nurse practitioner from Quincy, Massachusetts
Rachel Levinson-Emley, a literature Ph.D student from Goleta, California
Julie Brannon, a professor of English from Jacksonville, Florida (1-day total: $28,400)

“Godspeed, John Glenn” was told to the astronaut by mission controller Scott Carpenter, just prior to the takeoff of Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962.
I’m genuinely surprised by the quick turnaround on this Final Jeopardy! clue as well. On last week’s #JeopardyLivePanel, Kevin Shrum mentioned that last week’s episodes were taped on December 7. John Glenn died December 8. While I’m not sure which side of Christmas this episode taped on, there’s a very good chance that this episode taped within 2 weeks of John Glenn’s death.
