Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Countries of the World) for Wednesday, August 3, 2022 (Season 38, Game 21):
Nazi Germany annexed this nation & divided it into regions of the Alps & the Danube; the Allies later divided it into 4 sectors
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Jonathan Fisher, an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida
Jessica Stephens, a statistical research specialist from Nashville, Tennessee
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (38-day total: $1,518,601)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s episode originally aired October 11, 2021.
As a reminder: Jeopardy! is in the middle of six weeks of encore presentations. This means that, for the next six weeks, the New York Times Clue of the Day is going to be one of the other clues from the game. This is not unusual behaviour; this has happened every summer. Moreover, the show has also run a 46-week season—a season, that I might add, is the longest in American game shows—since 1986.
As a result of this game, because Jessica performed admirably against both Matt and Jonathan, she was invited to the Second Chance Tournament. (In fact, this game was the inspiration in Michael Davies’ mind for a Second Chance Tournament.)
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.

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.)
Much like post-World War II Germany, post-World War II Austria (and Vienna) was partitioned into American, British, French, and Soviet occupation sections; Austria was famously annexed by the Nazis in 1938, in what was known as the Anschluss. From 1942 to 1945, the area was known as “Alpine and Danube Reichsgaue”. For many years following World War II, Austria portrayed itself as “the Nazis’ first victim” which completely failed to acknowledge the country’s contribution to the Nazi regime; it was not until nearly the turn of the century before Austria began reckoning with its past (its President, Nazi intelligence officer Kurt Waldheim, was seen as persona non grata in much of the world during his Presidency in the late ’80s and early ’90s).

Today’s interviews:
Jonathan did play readings for Shakespeare Star Wars.
Jessica has a special tattoo in tribute to her mother’s breast cancer.
Matt is starting to get recognized in public.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Obviously, finding both Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy! helped Jonathan’s victory chances significantly, but what I think really hurt Matt was only scoring a net $800 in Double Jeopardy, only getting in first on the signaling device 9 times, and giving 4 incorrect responses.
Today’s “Clue of the Day” was: A 1791 proclamation by President George ordered the first this of the District of Columbia; a young George would’ve done it himself; in the category George Washington Did It. The correct response: What is a survey?
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Jonathan $14,600 Jessica $14,400 Matt $10,600)
Matt: If Jessica bets to cover you, she falls to $7,599. Bet no more than $2,999 in order to stay in front, in case the Triple Stumper happens. (Actual bet: $5,000)
Jessica: Standard cover bet over Matt is $6,801. (Actual bet: $14,399)
Jonathan: Standard cover bet over Jessica is $14,201. (Actual bet: $14,600)
