Are the clues provided when Ken Jennings generally more challenging than when Trebek hosted? I’m not including Celebrity Jeopardy, of course.

Carl Sagan pronounced one of them EE-oh. Not EYE-oh. He also never pronounced the _Young Frankenstein_ character EYE-gor either.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I was thinking moons as well, but for Saturn

[@theemmjay5130]

I thought it was... "moons of planets" at first, then realized that they probably wanted a more specific answer, and thought "moons of Jupiter."

Jeopardy! is trying to be Match Game now it looks like

[@tmhc72_gtg22c]

I'm afraid that if I had been on the show, I would have guessed the answer, but only written the first part of the required response. I would have forgotten that based on the name of the category, the response had to be in the form of "(blank) of (blank)".

[@drumline17]

Felt like a really easy tournament final clue

I got this clue right away.

The ___ of ___ threw me off slightly but I still got it

[@randalpierce8406]

SCIENCE: ___________'s _______

[@piotrborowski775]

Jupiter - that's how Romans called Zeus. Galileo was one of four lovers of Jupiter. Easy.

[@Pheehelm]

Galileo was Jupiter's lover? That must be one of the later myths.

[@suemiller9506]

Galileo? He discovered them but was not one of Jupiter's lovers!

[@istvanfekete1961]

In other words, what mythological deity is known for his many love affairs (taking different shapes to suit his needs)?

[@luisquintanilla1954]

Holy cow i got that right!!

[@thejollyrajamtg9847]

Any idea what the category is supposed to mean?

[@trombonedavid1]

It’s a science clue (although that’s the easy part to understand), and the correct response follows the format “what are the ____ of _______”

I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right!

[@matthewdubay1180]

I notice that some channels have a feature, where you have to swipe to see a comment. Jeopardy should do that, so I never have to read the obligatory and simultaneously ubiquitous, "to prevent spoilers" comment.

[@peterddb1593]

Or people can leave better comments instead of just posting answers…

[@matthewdubay1180]

@@peterddb1593 Better comments to whom? I agree that there are many stupid comments, to which do you refer to?

[@BlueCrystalTear]

I agree they should do this so those anti-spoiler comments would no longer be necessary. The problem is the people who just post answers to ruin it for others (instead of having the answer later in the comment), then have bots upvote them to make it so someone on mobile will have it ruined for them before they even read the clue. It would be great if you could understand this.

[@brontestorment]

That was easy!

[@zacharyhicks6237]

Please give Pop Culture Jeopardy! its own channel.

[@joeldick6871]

Anyone who knows the first thing about astronomy should get this.

[@judith_thordarson]

I don't know even the second thing about astronomy, and I got it.

[@Anglaide]

Fossils? Really?

[@BlueCrystalTear]

Did she not read the category? Zero excuse for a second chance player to not comprehend the "____ of ____" requested format. I would be way more forgiving if it was her first rodeo...

I dislike it when a runaway winner doesn't attempt an answer. The criminally arrogant Holzhauer made that popular and it's become banal. Write a real answer even if you wager nothing.

[@masterdoge987]

1: It isn’t even close to a runaway yet, considering it’s the first day of a 2-day finals. 2: A $0 wager makes writing a real answer pointless, since there’s no monetary gain or loss. 3: The person with the runaway can do whatever they want. 4: Will was paying tribute to a dead friend. Combining all of these together just makes you seem like an a__. Grow up.
