Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Allegra Kuney, a Ph.D. candidate from New Brunswick, New Jersey
Tom Devlin, an attorney from Washington, D.C.
Scott Riccardi, an engineer from Somerville, New Jersey
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
The semifinals for the 33rd Tournament of Champions starts today with an absolutely doozy: Scott Riccardi vs. Tom Devlin vs. Allegra Kuney. Just by the numbers, all three of these players are excellent and I am expecting to see a very closely contested match.
I’m not sure if the audience for this tournament was under NDA and someone’s about to get in a lot of trouble for leaking this information, but it’s certainly public now: someone on Reddit this morning decided it was important enough to tell the world that this game had to be restarted due to a major buzzer system malfunction; this audience member also seemed in their tone to be mildly perturbed by the resolution, specifically the fact that they didn’t give the players a break and play a different semifinal first. My thoughts, though, after reading this are much different.
This audience member appears to lack the requisite knowledge in terms of television production. Firstly, this isn’t the first time the ToC has had a buzzer malfunction; stories have circulated over the years about how, in 2015, the Matt Jackson–John Schultz–Jennifer Giles quarterfinal had a buzzer malfunction that nearly necessitated scrapping an Eric Stonestreet category honoring service members on Veterans Day. Secondly, I’m not sure what else you’d expect the show to do here: once an episode starts, even if it needs to be restarted through force majeure, no show is going to actually go through start a completely different episode. They’re going to finish the one they started! Sure, it’s not a perfect situation, but it sounds as if the show made the best decision it could.

Final Jeopardy! Category: European History
Final Jeopardy! Clue: Writing from prison to her pere in 1793, she quoted the dramatist Corneille, “Crime makes the shame, and not the scaffold”
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: Who is Charlotte Corday?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
According to the Smithsonian Institution, where the American Art Museum has a painting of Corday in prison, Charlotte Corday justified her murder of Jean-Paul Marat with the quote “Crime makes the shame, and not the scaffold” in a 1793 heartfelt letter to her father.
This is the sort of “deeper cut” Final Jeopardy clue that the Tournament of Champions has been known for over the years; the expanded correct response canon in a ToC situation allows this sort of thing to be asked about Corday, whereas in regular play, you’d see a lot of people guessing Marie Antoinette and then being wrong.
