Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Rock Legends) for Monday, September 27, 2021 (Season 38, Game 11):
A new studio album in 2020 gave him a top 5 album in 6 consecutive decades, his first in 1975
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Angélica Wilcox, an AV service support team lead from Kansas City, Kansas
Justin Stanley, a data scientist from Vancouver, Washington
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (28-day total: $1,004,001)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: 28-day champion Matt Amodio goes for Win #29 today, having surpassed the $1 million mark after Friday’s big win. Amazingly, this is the first time that Matt has started a week with the same host that he had the previous week, with this being Mayim Bialik’s second week as host. Meanwhile, the Jeopardy! website has started having the same problems that it had in the James Holzhauer run. For some reason that I certainly can’t explain, the Jeopardy! web site only seems to be able to store six significant digits when it comes to a champion’s winnings, which means that a champion’s winnings somehow get rounded on their website once it passes the $1 million mark. While it’s a longstanding unfixed bug on their website, it’s another mark on their web team that also had difficulty earlier this season with contestant photographs.
For the benefit of new viewers who are just starting to become invested in Matt Amodio’s run, his choice to phrase every response with “What’s…” is perfectly acceptable per the rules of the show, and this also hasn’t been a relaxing of standards since the death of Alex Trebek. As I wrote about in 2016 (while Alex still was very much alive), the show has never cared about whether the phrasing is grammatically correct, even under Art Fleming in the 1960s and 1970s.
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.

When Letter to You was released in 2020 and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, rock legend Bruce Springsteen earned his 21st Top 5 album (17 of these were studio albums, 2 were compilation albums, and 2 were live albums) on that chart; Springsteen’s first Top 5 album was 1975’s Born to Run.
One thing that amused me about this Final Jeopardy! clue: both Christopher and Paula from last Wednesday’s game have spoken on Twitter about being Bruce Springsteen fans. I’m sure they’ll be wishing they got today’s Final instead of the one they got in their game!

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Regarding the Neuchâtel clue, only “Neuchâtel” fit the category of A 9-LETTER “N”OUN. “Neufchâtel” is 10 letters and is therefore incorrect (and correctly ruled incorrect by the judges.
