Welcome to a new week on Jeopardy!; it is Day 6 of Bill Whitaker hosting. Last week, $129,199 was raised for Media Fellowship House. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. History) for Monday, May 10, 2021 (Season 37, Game 161):
On April 7, 1789 Charles Thomson & Sylvanus Bourne left New York City to tell these 2 men the results of a vote taken the day before
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
John Marsh, a pastor from Edgewater, Florida
Alyse Stokes, a freelance content specialist from Silver Spring, Maryland
Juliet Mayer, a graduate student originally from The Plains, Virginia (1-day total: $23,800)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Juliet played a very strong game on Friday to dethrone a 2-game champion in Jamie Logan. If she keeps up her strong play from Friday, she should have no problems making it a 2-game 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. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
