Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Names in the Bookstore) for Tuesday, March 7, 2023 (Season 39, Game 127):

This man made lists, perhaps to cope with depression; a set of lists he published in 1852 made his name synonymous with a type of book

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Tim Cho, a senior at Columbia University from Champaign, Illinois

Maya Wright, a senior at Emory University from Peachtree City, Georgia

Caleb Richmond, a sophomore at Georgetown University from Bedford, New Hampshire

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Today is semifinal #3 of the High School Reunion Tournament. This semifinal sees Caleb Richmond, Maya Wright, and Tim Cho do battle. All three of these players had runaways in the quarterfinal; Caleb absolutely dominated quarterfinal #9 last Thursday, while both Tim and Maya had very strong performances in their own right. Interestingly, Caleb also dominated his quarterfinal during his first tournament and had a relatively poor performance in the semifinal. If that happens again, things could get very interesting.

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 Peter Mark Roget?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Peter Mark Roget finished the first draft of his now-famous Roget’s Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases Classified and Arranged so to Assist in Literary Composition in 1805; however, it was not published until 1852, following his retirement from science. The work classified knowledge—not just words—into six classes: abstract relations, space, matter, intellect, volition, and affections; the idea being that one would have an idea and would search through the book to find the perfect word to express that idea. Just before the first publication, though, an alphabetical index was added as an appendix, so that readers could use the book as a conventional book of synonyms—Roget’s best-known use today.

Merriam-Webster has an article detailing the creation of Roget’s Thesaurus.

Today’s interviews:

Caleb is a big NPR fan.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Because “Rogett” and “Roget” could be pronounced identically by someone who has only learned by reading a name and not by hearing it, the judges were 100% correct in ruling Maya’s response correct. I reserve the right to remove comments that get out of line on this point in tonight’s comment section.

• Today’s box score: March 7, 2023 Box Score.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Caleb $9,582 Tim $8,800 Maya $7,800)

Caleb: Standard cover bet over Tim is $8,019. (Actual bet: $8,019)

Maya: Bet between $2,565 (thereby covering any of Caleb’s low range) and $5,799 (thereby staying ahead to win on a Triple Stumper. (Actual bet: $7,800)
