Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Sports & Entertainment) for Friday, May 27, 2022 (Season 38, Game 185):
In 2021 this Hall of Fame athlete launched Omaha Productions
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Aaron Gulyas, a community college history instructor from Grand Blanc, Michigan
Srimal Choi, a chief strategy officer from Falls Church, Virginia
Ryan Long, a rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (10-day total: $183,301)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Philadelphia’s Ryan Long has joined the ranks of the ultrachampions this week, picking up win #10 yesterday. Interestingly, players going for win #11 on Jeopardy! are 13-0; however, Ryan did say in last night’s “Overheard” video that he could use a nap, will he be able to overcome that to extend his streak into another week? Will Srimal or Aaron end Ryan’s streak today?
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, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Peyton Manning?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Hall of Fame Colts and Broncos quarterback Peyton Menning launched Omaha Productions in 2021 for his television work; “Omaha” is significant as the city was often used in Manning’s play-calling “audible” signals in his NFL career. The most prominent program produced by the company would very likely be NBC’s Capital One College Bowl; interestingly, former Jeopardy! executive producer Harry Friedman (he was EP before Mike Richards) came out of retirement to help produce the upcoming second season of this.
Personally: I hope that all players give both first and last name tonight on this specific Final, as there are other Mannings involved (Eli was also a prominent NFL quarterback and Cooper was part of College Bowl as well)—I don’t want to see the controversy that will ensue (in either direction) if a player just says “Manning”. One note, though: Any ruling on this would come from the judges, not the host. It is inappropriate to pin any sort of blame on Mayim (or Ken) on Final Jeopardy! rulings. The judges have the ability to see the Final Jeopardy! responses as they’re being written; they then communicate their respective rulings to the host to rule as the response is being revealed to the viewers.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(As an editorial note: I will not be posting the category names today as computerized algorithms don’t understand context very well and I would prefer not to risk demonetization over the third category in today’s Double Jeopardy! round.)
Aaron took full advantage of a tired champion, running off nine correct responses before the opening break! Unfortunately, he missed the first Daily Double for his only incorrect response in the opening segment. Coming out of the Break, Ryan found his footing and got six correct of his own! Single Jeopardy! ended with Aaron leading at $6,400, with Ryan at $4,600 and Srimal at $800.
Double Jeopardy! Round:
Double Jeopardy! was very much a two-horse race today; Srimal picked up the first Daily Double early, though a conservative bet didn’t help her score much. Aaron got the last Daily Double correct, but he also went conservative—I was hoping for a more aggressive Daily Double bet from Aaron, especially when facing a double-digit champion. Unfortunately for Ryan, he wasn’t quite able to catch Aaron, who held the lead going into Final. Scores going into Final were Aaron at $14,800, Ryan at $13,000, and Srimal at $7,000.
In Final Jeopardy! today, only Ryan was correct, which means he’s now an 11-day champion! He goes for win #12 on Monday!
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Friday, May 27, 2022 Jeopardy! by the numbers:

Today’s interviews:
Aaron once “investigated” a crop circle.
Srimal comes from a family where everyone (except her) plays multiple instruments.
Ryan still listens to LPs on the turntable he had as a child.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Ryan moves to 19th all-time in terms of regular-play winnings on the show.
- Link to the box score: May 27, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Aaron $14,800 Ryan $13,000 Srimal $7,000)
Aaron: Standard cover bet over Ryan is $11,201. (Actual bet: $0)
Ryan: Standard cover bet over Srimal is $1,001. As I’ve suggested to trailers facing you, though: if you don’t think the leader will cover, go all-in. (Actual bet: $12,999.)
Srimal: If Aaron covers Ryan, he falls to $3,599. Thus, you need to stay above $3,600. I’d recommend betting no more than $3,399. (Actual bet: $2,000)
