Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Early U.S. History) for Friday, February 26, 2021 (Season 37, Game 110):
Elbridge Gerry, Charles Pinckney & John Marshall were the diplomats in this 1797 incident that led to a quasi-war with France
(correct response beneath the contestants)
The Jeopardy! community is mourning the loss of Brayden Smith, who passed away on February 5. The Brayden Smith Memorial Fund has been established, dedicated to furthering the educational aspirations of Southern Nevada students.
Today’s contestants:
Ollie Savage, an English & film studies teacher from Burbank, California
Syed Ahamed, an operations manager originally from New York, New York
Michael Colton, a screenwriter originally from Newton, Massachusetts (1-day total: $9,201)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Michael survived a Triple Stumper Final Jeopardy! to pick up victory; he struggled a little bit on the signaling device yesterday, though. He’ll probably need to do better on the buzzer in order to pick up win #2 today.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. Ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is the XYZ Affair?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
In the 1790s, France had gone to war with the rest of Europe. Washington declared neutrality, in spite of the assistance that France had given to the Americans in the Revolutionary War. France and England began seizing neutral ships that were trading with the other side. France was further angered by the Jay Treaty (1795) that saw England and the Americans reach an agreement. Due to the deteriorating relations, an American diplomatic commission was sent to France in 1797 to attempt to negotiate a solution. However, French foreign minister Talleyrand demanded bribes and a loan before initiating negotiations. The Americans, despite Talleyrand’s actions being well-known in the diplomatic community, were offended and left France without negotiating. The breakdown in relations led to the Quasi-War which took place in the Caribbean between 1798 and 1800; the war made Talleyrand realize that he had miscalculated with the Americans, leading to an end of hostilities.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I wish more players would play their Daily Doubles more aggressively. If I was in Syed’s position, I would have bet at least $5,000 on the final Daily Double.
- Kudos to Michael for his Final Jeopardy! bet; clearly, it won him the game.
- Mike Richards misspoke when he spoke of the XYZ Affair; the French didn’t offer a bribe—they demanded one.
