Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Literary Animals) for Tuesday, July 26, 2022 (Season 38, Game 227):
This children’s book character, introduced in 1926 & a friend of the title character, gets his name from the sound he might make
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Alexa Jakob, an electrical engineer from Queens, New York
Mark Stover, a physician from Flagstaff, Arizona
Ed Coulson, an economics & real estate professor from Dana Point, California (1-day total: $17,399)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Ed Coulson played a strong game yesterday and returns as a 1-day champion on the final Tuesday of the season. Mark Stover and Alexa Jakob are your challengers.
In case you missed reports yesterday, two Hollywood trade publications broke news last night that hosting duties in Season 39 would be split, similarly to how they were in Season 38. I think that this is only going to continue to sow division within the fandom and will only further to encourage comparisons between the two hosts that are unnecessary. Of course, this news is still unconfirmed by the show itself.
On a more personal note: For the past two and a half years, I have often raised money for the MS Society of Canada through their “Gamers vs. MS” program. This July, Gamers vs. MS is running a month-long fundraising campaign called “Boss Battles.” In an attempt to raise $25,000, the Gamers vs. MS team has designed a “fundraising adventure” to defeat eight evil bosses. (Much like a Mario game might have eight bosses to defeat.) You can get more information about the program at https://www.gamersvsms.ca/bossbattles, and if you’d like to donate, you can do so via Tiltify!. I’ll be live-streaming myself on my Twitch channel, twitch.tv/TheJeopardyFan/ beginning at 6:30 PM Eastern on Tuesday, July 26.
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 can, 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 Eeyore?
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.)
Eeyore is the donkey friend of Winnie-the-Pooh in the series of books by A. A. Milne. As Merriam-Webster writes, “Eeyore is simply a phonetic spelling of the sound a donkey makes, the braying noise usually transcribed in American English as hee-haw. In the non-rhotic (or r-dropping) accents of most of England, the name Eeyore would be pronounced \EE-aw. It’s simply because of the transcription that most Americans wouldn’t read Eeyore as the noise a donkey makes.”
We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:
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.

Alexa found the Daily Double immediately—unfortunately, her attempt to bring herself back into the game resulted in her score falling to $0. Props to her for her strategy, though—that’s how you start a comeback! The Double Jeopardy! round was a close battle between Ed and Mark, with Ed pulling away late in Double Jeopardy to take a bit of a lead. Scores going into Final were Ed at $16,000, Mark at $11,400, and Alexa at $4,800.

Today’s interviews:
Alexa once biked upstate to Albany.
Mark once confronted a bear and an elephant.
Ed played family Zoom Jeopardy games over the pandemic.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- I think Alexa may have made a math error when calculating her final bet.
- Jeopardy! certainly made a mistake today in Clue of the Day—both the website and the New York Times itself showed a category of “Literary Characters”, not “Literary Animals”. The clue was correct, though.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Ed $16,000 Mark $11,400 Alexa $4,800)
Ed: Standard cover bet over Mark is $6,801. (Actual bet: $6,801)
Mark: If you limit your bet to $1,799, you’re guaranteed second place, with a likely victory if Ed misses Final Jeopardy. (Actual bet: $1,799)
Alexa: If Ed bets to cover and is incorrect, his score falls to $9,199. Thus, you should bet at least $4,401. (Actual bet: $3,401)
