Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 1980s Movies) for Monday, August 1, 2022 (Season 38, Game 6):
The Dip used to kill characters in this 1988 film consisted of acetone, benzene & turpentine, ingredients of paint thinner
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Tracy Pitzel, an accountant from Ellensburg, Washington
Carlo Anguili, a postdoctoral researcher from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (23-day total: $825,801)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s the first day of Season’s 38 Encore Presentations; the show has selected 30 of Season 38’s best games to highlight this summer — Season 39 begins September 12.
It’s also going to be an interesting day for Jeopardy! fans, as Pluto TV begins carrying old episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. As of the current moment, only episodes that have previously appeared on Netflix are in the Pluto on demand collection. I certainly hope that more episodes will be added in time, as this collection certainly does not add anything that a diehard fan of the show likely hasn’t seen recently.
Furthermore, the contestants selected to return to the show in this fall’s Second Chance Tournament will be released today on the show’s new official podcast, Inside Jeopardy!.
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 can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

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.)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a 1988 live-action/animated comedy film set in a world where live-action and cartoon characters (“Toons”) coexisted; a character named Judge Doom creates the Dip as a method of executing Toons; the substance is allegedly harmless to the human characters. Another interesting bit of trivia about this film: it’s the only time that Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny appeared onscreen together, sharing a scene.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Books & Authors; Common Bonds; Alliterative People; Lizards; A Word In Spanish; Ventriloquism For Dummies)
It was Tracy who got to play the first Daily Double; unfortunately, she lost $1,000 on it to bring her back to square one. From there, Matt rang up 10 correct before the interviews and another 8 after them to have a commanding lead after the Jeopardy! round.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Matt 10 correct 0 incorrect
Tracy 3 correct 1 incorrect
Carlo 0 correct 0 incorrect
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Matt 18 correct 0 incorrect
Tracy 7 correct 1 incorrect
Carlo 2 correct 3 incorrect
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Greats In History; Youthful Pop Stars; Starts With “B”; Oh My Gods!; American Lakes; Food Fights Back)
Double Jeopardy! was very closely contested between Matt and Tracy! Matt was undoubtedly saved by the fact that he picked up $7,000 on the game’s second Daily Double. However, Tracy played Matt evenly over the final 17 clues of Double (after Carlo picked up the third Daily Double) to prevent Matt from having a runaway going into Final! Scores going into the final round were Matt at $33,200, Tracy at $17,000, and Carlo at $1,600.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Matt 31 correct 1 incorrect
Tracy 20 correct 2 incorrect
Carlo 5 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 0 (0 today).
Carlo was the only correct player in Final Jeopardy! today, which means that Matt picks up his 24th victory!

Today’s “Clue of the Day” was: “War & Peace” opens in this year, 7 years before a fateful invasion; in the category Books & Authors. The correct response: What is 1805?
- It is unknown if a box score will be posted by the show for today’s encore presentation; if it is, today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Matt $33,200 Tracy $17,000 Carlo $1,600)
Matt: Standard cover bet over Tracy is $801. (Actual bet: $2,000)
Carlo: You’re playing for second place today. I would bet exactly $0, as if Tracy chooses to bet $15,401, she falls to $1 below your current score. (Actual bet: $5)
Tracy: If Matt bets to cover and is incorrect, he falls to $32,399. I would suggest betting exactly $15,400, as Carlo’s score is exactly $1,600 right now. (Actual bet: $16,600)
