Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category In Memoriam 2022) for Monday, May 30, 2022 (Season 38, Game 186):
On the death of this trailblazing man, friend & mentor, Oprah said, “For me, the greatest of the ‘great trees’ has fallen”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Steve Knapp, a middle school teacher from San Ramon, California
Mandy Walker, an account tech from Mount Juliet, Tennessee
Ryan Long, a rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (11-day total: $209,300)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ryan Long nearly lost on Friday, but he pulled out victory number 11! He spoke openly about how tired he was feeling at the end of last week’s tapings; hopefully he got a good night’s sleep and was able to show up to the studio refreshed to tape today’s game! If not, though, Mandy and Steve would love to become a giant killer and a Jeopardy! champion!
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 Sidney Poitier?
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.)
Sidney Poitier, the first African-American actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, for his role in 1963’s Lilies of the Field, passed away in early 2022 of cardiopulmonary failure. Poitier was one of the leading actors in Hollywood in the 1960s and received numerous honors throughout his career and later life, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 and Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1974. He also served as a Bahamian ambassador to Japan and UNESCO in the 1990s and 2000s.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: The Midwest; Punny Mystery Titles; In the Sport’s Hall of Fame; Potpourri; On the Wall; Verb + “ER” = Noun
Today’s Jeopardy! round belonged to Ryan, as our champion picked up 13 correct responses, including the Daily Double! We thought Steve was going to end the round in third place, but a late incorrect response was overturned, meaning Mandy got to select first in Double Jeopardy.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Female Presidents; Stick to the Scripture; 18th Century Culture Club; The Animal in its Logo; TV Theme Songs; Portmanteau Words
The Daily Doubles proved to be crucial today; Ryan dropped $3,000 early, and Mandy picked up hers two-thirds of the way through the round. There will definitely be some confusion amongst home viewers as to what her bet was, which ended up crucial as her bet was somehow ruled to be $5,000 when she said just the word “five” (Which, to me, means $5, not $5,000.) Ryan led going into Final at $18,000, with Steve at $8,400 and Mandy at $4,800.
Final Jeopardy! today was a Triple Stumper, which turns the Daily Double into a moot point. Ryan Long’s now a 12-day champion! He’ll go for win #13 tomorrow.

Today’s interviews:
Steve recently got injured in a mosh pit at a Celtic punk show.
Mandy was on Child’s Play, hosted by Bill Cullen, at the age of 7.
Ryan was once a bouncer at a bar attacked by a raccoon.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- I still don’t understand why the judges (or Mayim) permitted Mandy to just say “five” without disambiguating “five dollars”, “five hundred dollars” or “five thousand dollars”. To me, saying “five” can only mean a minimum bet of $5. This has caused controversy in the past in the other direction and will only serve to confuse viewers further in the future.
- With regards to the score change affecting Steve: Remember that to go from an incorrect response to a correct one, you give the contestant twice the clue value (-$1,000 to +$1,000 is a $2,000 difference.)
- Link to the box score: May 30, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Ryan $18,000 Steve $8,400 Mandy $4,800)
Ryan: Bet no more than $1,199 and enjoy win #12! (Actual bet: $1,000)
Mandy: If Steve bets to cover you and is wrong, he falls to $7,199. Your minimum bet should be $2,401. (Actual bet: $4,800)
Steve: Standard cover bet over Mandy is $1,201. (Actual bet: $2,000)
