Only One Contestant Attempts a Response to Final Jeopardy! - Jeopardy! Masters

[@DavidHays-f3n]

He is so smart he adds and subtracts in his head with ease. The final total probably is a significant date in his life.

[@drewcanton235]

I got the book "Planet of the Apes" but couldn't think of the author...

[@vincentzito3933]

The book wasn't called planet of the apes.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I knew right away which novel it was, so I would’ve written ✍️ my question Cliff Claven style: ‘Who is the author of Planet of the Apes?!’

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@HRHDMKYT cliff would say here's a little known fact

[@pgraynyc]

Someone tried that on Jeopardy once (in 2011). The correct response on a final Jeopardy was “Who is Akihito”? And the contestant wrote “Who is the emperor of Japan?”. The response was not accepted.

[@elijahroberts3044]

Jeopardy! It’s a fun game show from blue pictures television.

[@robertledsome3327]

It was easy not watching jeopardy everyday thank you for not posting.

[@VincentGilio-c3j]

This is indeed a very funny comment for the host of "Jeopardy!" on SBS Viceland after 7:00p.m. in Australia. The American host of this show Ken Jennings makes me laugh with the way he says "Sorry no." When the contestant gives him a wrong answer to the clues he is reading. My favourite plays of "Jeopardy!" have been James when Alex Trebek was the host of "Jeopardy!" and Adrianna with Ken Jennings hosting the show.

[@belindastojanik8303]

Does anyone have the link to watch the entire game for this day?

[@fiddleronthecube7835]

I knew the answer right away because I read the book back in the 60s. I recommend it highly.

[@wellmounted]

Why did the winner bet anything? He had already won no matter what the question.

[@stuart5811]

agreed

[@pep590]

He must have thought he really knew that category.

[@seanc.682]

because points don’t carry over at this part of the tournament, all that matters is the win and this was a runaway. james just also likes big numbers

[@topcat43truffles15]

Nice to see on at least this question, I beat the Masters. Only possible answer to me putting Gorillas and French author together screamed Planet of the Apes, so, Who was Pierre Boule…..and given the subject matter I would have bet…..not a dime….lol 😁

[@RicktheCrofter]

After thinking on it, I knew the book and the author. My only problem would be I would probably spell the surname wrong. Pierre Bouille?

[@BLT1967too]

Misspellings are OK if it looks like you had the right pronunciation in mind. Judgment call, but your spelling might be OK.

[@tomwills3801]

None of them knew Alan Jackson’s signature song, I’m somewhat surprised..

[@HRHDMKYT]

Country western music isn’t usually the music genre that Jeopardy contestants study… and the clue-writers know that.

[@keara.ls3]

I knew what novel it was, but I couldn’t remember the author for the life of me! 😩

[@arm_613]

Knew the book and the author. Didn't receive any money, though 😂

[@wrenneinzbern]

I knew it was the writer of Planet Of The Apes at least

[@BelleOfAmherst]

Well done! I thought of the author of King Kong. Cheers!

[@taralyn0607]

Me too!

[@kali3665]

I said Maurice Sendak. Not right at all. He was of Polish descent, actually.

[@fionam3554]

@@kali3665 I went with Sartre. Well, French... I didn't think of Apes. I could have gotten Boulle. Likely mispronounced.

[@stevesilkin]

@fiona - a key moment in sartre’s memoir “words” was at the zoo - but it was about how he saw a giraffe for the first time and realized that he thought he’d known what a giraffe was but the experience of a giraffe was overwhelming in comparison to what he’d learned in books. So I was for a moment considering this path due to “zoo” but rejected it due to apes, and apes (and their human like expressions) led me to “planet of” and it took just another moment to remember boulle. The category title was almost irrelevant - boulle isn’t among the 50 French authors of the 20th century that anyone would list.

[@Quartermaster323]

I would have said “Who wrote Doctor Doolittle?”

[@58twright]

who is somebody who has never been in my kitchen?

[@brendansmith]

Good one, Cliff!

[@britbajan5496]

Holzhauer can certainly be arrogant.

[@vincentxie3090]

I wondered if Ken is still a jeopardy contestant

[@josephperry1168]

No, as an employee of Sony(since he is the MC) he is NOT allowed to be a contestant

[@Perera006]

anyone else thought daniel quinn? ishamel lol

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

Clumsily worded title... make it sound like there is only one contestant...

[@Potterholic1]

Planet of the Apes was a novel?

[@topcat43truffles15]

An excellent one…. I had an English teacher in high school that made us read this. Either ‘69 or ‘70. Never forgot that…. 😁

[@vincentzito3933]

It was called Monkey planet...

[@xygomorphic44]

I liked Amy's response. He's so funny.

[@fable9159]

She is funny

[@Unknown-ms3tr]

Don't worry, everyone makes typos.

[@AL4NGDROE]

Why didn't the first place guy wager just enough so that the 2nd place person couldn't win even if they wagered all their money?

[@Enso.]

When he has the luxury, James always bets numbers that are significant to him. March 26 2008 ($32608->3/26/08) is likely an important date.

[@masterdoge987]

@@Enso. likely, the birthday of someone named Jack; in his first game, he wrote “Happy Birthday Jack” under his correct response and bet $3,268

[@amgginsburg]

This the biggest piece of shit search engine

[@timelliott4117]

It's really out of hand. It's more like Varity show. The script is so forced, every contestant tries to be funny and have some sort of lifestyle that they think the viewers will find colorful and entertaining. It's not working for me and I stopped watching. It's supposed to be a competitive, interlocutional game with smart geeks, not a comedy show.

[@seanc.682]

well for one, they are all smarter in trivia than literally everyone in this youtube comment section. two, they’re all friends and having fun while being competitive. the only part that isn’t competitive is final jeopardy and that’s because it was a runaway with all three placements were set in stone so there’s no point in trying

[@chrisgill261]

Holzhauer makes this show impossible to watch
