Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Historic Groups) for Monday, May 6, 2024 (Season 40, Game 171):
Like their uniform, the flag of this group created in 1506 has stripes of red, blue & yellow, the colors of the Medici family
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Carrie Klaus, a French professor from Greencastle, Indiana
Matthew Smith, a paramedic from New York, New York
Weckiai Rannila, an engineer from Albuquerque, New Mexico (3-day total: $35,200)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
It’s Monday, which means we have a new week of Jeopardy! episodes! Today’s matchup features returning 3-day champion Weckiai Rannila, with Matthew Smith and Carrie Klaus as your challengers.
Additionally, Episode 2 of Jeopardy! Masters airs tonight at 8:00 (7:00 Central) on ABC (and CTV2 in Canada). (Remember, this is a different channel than normal Jeopardy! for 60% of U.S. households)
A further note, while there are no changes in airtime today, there is a possibility that my own coverage of today’s game is going to be delayed.
I have an occasional mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

Correct response: What is the Swiss Guard?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The Swiss Guard is best known today as an armed forces unit who protects Vatican City and the Pope. It is called the Swiss Guard as it traditionally consisted of 150 to 200 Swiss mercenaries. Today, the unit consists of 135. Their colors match the House of Medici as they were introduced during the papal reign of Leo X, the first Medici pope.
I was actually surprised to see that this was only the third time that the Swiss Guard has come up in Final Jeopardy; I had the idea that they were a more-asked-about group. Interesting!
