Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Statues) for Friday, January 22, 2021 (Season 37, Game 85):
Statues honoring this man who was killed in 1779 can be found in Waimea, Kauai & in Whitby, England
(correct response beneath the contestants)
As I said in my recent editorial, if you’re going to express an opinion about one host or another, I ask that you make thoughtful, reasoned arguments. A lot of your opinions on one host over another are going to be a matter of personal taste. Please also remember that a permanent host will not be named until the start of Season 38.
Today’s contestants:
Jack Weller, a law student from Stanford, California
Maggie Houska, a prospect researcher from Chanhassen, Minnesota
Brian Chang, an attorney from Chicago, Illinois (3-day total: $50,502)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Brian had had three very similar scores in his first three games — the standard deviation in the prediction model is surprisingly low. Two of his games have been runaways. With his scores so far, the chances are that Brian would need two more wins for Tournament of Champions qualification. Will Maggie and Jack be able to dethrone him?
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.

English explorer Captain James Cook was killed in Hawaii in 1779 while attempting to kidnap Hawaiian monarch Kalaniʻōpuʻu; previously, he had gained acclaim in England for his mapping of many islands in the Pacific. Cook had served an apprenticeship in the Whitby area in the 1740s.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- This is the third regular-play tiebreaker since the rules were changed in regular play providing for a tiebreaker after a tied Final Jeopardy! in November 2014.
- If you are in third place and the top two players are tied, the absolute worst thing to do is wager everything in Final Jeopardy!; at best, you’re reducing your chances of victory; at worst, you’re going viral.
