Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Technology) for Friday, June 3, 2022 (Season 38, Game 190):
Upon the first use of this in 1844, the Baltimore Sun declared that time & space had been annihilated
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Wyatt Yankus, a policy analyst from Washington, DC
Lucia Yang, a medical & doctoral student originally from San Diego, California
Ryan Long, a rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (15-day total: $279,400)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ryan Long’s march up the Jeopardy! leaderboards continue after he picked up win #15 in last night’s game (in a game that was pre-empted in many locations due to a Presidential address or the NBA finals). Today, Lucia Yang and Wyatt Yankus hope to end the streak.
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 are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is the telegraph?
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.)
Originally known in his time as a portrait painter, Samuel Morse is best known today for his contributions to the invention of the single-wire telegraph, for the long-distance communication of messages. A telegraph line was constructed between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland, and the famous line “What hath God wrought” was sent as the “official” first telegraph message between the two cities on May 24, 1844.
In 2012, The Atlantic wrote about the Baltimore Sun’s writing from that era.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: In the World Capital; Renaissance Art & Artists; Phil & the Blank; Don’t Get Confused; Apples; Oranges
This game was definitely a two-horse race between Ryan and Wyatt, with Wyatt finding the first Daily Double on clue #7. While Wyatt did get it correct, he didn’t go all-in—which I’d consider to be a mistake when playing a 15-day champion. Wyatt held the lead after 15, while Ryan led after Single Jeopardy; Lucia got in on the signalling just once over the first 30 clues.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: This Will Go Down in History; A Bit of Lit; “M” Paths; Calling for a Measurement; Super-Duper Supers; Words with Fiends
Much like Single, Ryan picked up 13 correct in Double Jeopardy, including $3,000 on the game’s second Daily Double. Wyatt found the last Daily Double late, but only bet $3,000—still, not nearly aggressive enough for when there’s a residency at the champion’s lectern. The fact that Wyatt missed the Daily Double turned the game into a runaway for Ryan—which Ryan cemented over the final six clues. Scores going into Final were $19,200 for Ryan to $8,800 for Wyatt and $4,200 for Lucia. Not quite a drubbing, but an excellent performance (Yes, this is a reference to the game’s opening clue.)
Both Ryan and Wyatt got Final correct, which means that Ryan has run the table for the third consecutive week. He’ll be back in an attempt to win game #17 on Monday!
