Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Sculptors) for Monday, January 3, 2022 (Season 38, Game 81):
Los Angeles artist George Stanley sculpted this, first handed out at a private banquet on May 16, 1929
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Kate Woomer-Deters, a legal services attorney from Raleigh, North Carolina
Harsh Daga, an analyst from Brooklyn, New York
Amy Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California (23-day total: $855,600)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Amy Schneider enters 2022 as a 23-day champion, and less than $145,000 from the $1 million mark. With a good week, she’ll make the $1 million mark by the end of it!

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 Oscar (statuette)?
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.)
Today’s Final Jeopardy! clue is the epitome of why I believe that contestants should only take the category into account as an absolute final consideration when determining their wager. Here at the Jeopardy! Fan, I’d like to acknowledge that yes, this clue is ostensibly a sculptor clue, but in reality it’s a movie clue. The writers do this all of the time, and it’s a tactic in order in order to make sure that the contestants keep betting to win. By the way, some fun facts about the Oscar statuette: it’s 13.5 inches tall and weighs 8.5 pounds.
Moreover, it seems like the only way I can keep my thoughts from ending up on YouTube is by reminding everyone that there is someone who is copying information from one of the various Jeopardy! recapping areas, this site included, and posting them as YouTube comments. A couple of months ago, there was a user who was taunting me in my comments section about the idea of copyright, and I suspect that this user might be the culprit. (No, the comments were not made public, and I obviously do not have concrete proof. There are multiple people who it could be in my eyes) I do appreciate all of the users who are calling the person out on YouTube, though.

Today’s interviews:
Kate had a bear encounter at Grand Teton National Park.
Harsh had a stingray encounter on a dive in Columbia.
Amy enjoys singing karaoke, especially Radiohead’s “Creep”.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Today’s episode was taped less than a week after the superchampion/ultrachampion flap that I was in on Twitter; I feel as though Ken used the term “superchampion” a lot, considering.
Both the $31,000 Coryat and $42,000 final score make it onto my top Coryats list and my top one-day totals list.
