Correct response: What is Death?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
While the four riders are said to symbolize Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, only Death is mentioned specifically, first in Revelation 6:8: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Eric R. Backes qualified 93.053% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 75.870% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 46.025% of the time.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Kate’s mother was Roz Jay, who was defeated by 5-time champion Tom Halpern on March 25, 1991.
- $101,682 is now the 5th-highest one-day total of all time on Jeopardy, displacing yesterday’s total from the 5th spot. He now holds all 10 of the top 10 one-day totals in the history of the show.
- James has tied Julia Collins’ 20 wins for the second-longest winning streak in regular play on Jeopardy.
- It took Ken Jennings 46 games ($1,555,061) to pass James’ current total of $1,528,012.
- James has now heard 181 consecutive clues without giving an incorrect response. This passes Liz Haigney Lynch’s previous record by 2.
- James’ Coryat score of $38,200 is the second-best Coryat score of all time; the record is still Ken Jennings’ $39,200 on June 10, 2004.
- At 723, James has passed Brad Rutter for #2 on the all-time list in terms of number of correct responses given on the show.
- This is the 14th consecutive episode where James has been correct in Final Jeopardy (the previous record was 12, held by Ben Ingram and Tom Cubbage).
- The prediction model currently gives James a 71.286% chance of surpassing Ken Jennings’ regular play winnings total of $2,520,700.
- On Wednesdays, James has an average winning score of $90,188.
