Good morning! Today is Friday, April 16, 2021 (Season 37, Game 145). Today is the last day of Aaron Rodgers’ host stint, I thought he has done a much better job than anybody expected! $219,726 has been raised so far for the North Valley Community Foundation; Anderson Cooper begins hosting next week. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category American Names):
One of the luminaries who drove in the “Golden Spike” in Utah in 1869 was this man who later founded a university
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Danielle Henry, a marketing professional from Seattle, Washington
Dakota Lupo, a documentary filmmaker originally from Baldwin, New York
Patrick Hume, a project manager originally from Stoneham, Massachusetts (2-day total: $46,501)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Patrick has made it to 2 wins; he wasn’t quite as dominant on the buzzer on Day 2 than he was on Day 1, though. If his performance continues to fall on the buzzer, though, he’ll certainly be vulnerable to having his streak snapped. Also, as you’ll see below, today is the sort of day where second place might have the advantage going into Final.
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. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Leland Stanford?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Leland Stanford was the President of the Central Pacific Railway in 1869 at the time of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, and was later the founder of Stanford University (ironically, the arch-rival of the University of California, Berkeley—Aaron Rodgers’ alma mater).
My prediction is that at least two, if not all three contestants are going to see “Utah” + “University” and immediately write down Brigham Young, and Aaron will make a joke about nobody really knowing about Stanford.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- After watching these two weeks, I really think that Jeopardy! would not be making a mistake if Aaron Rodgers were to be named Alex Trebek’s replacement.
- $236,725 has been raised for the North Valley Community Foundation.
