Good morning! It’s Thursday, April 8, 2021 (Season 37, Game 139). I’ve thought that Aaron Rodgers’ hosting has improved over the first three days of his stint. I also think that LeVar Burton needs to be given a guest hosting spot. (Though, if Rodgers were to retire from the Packers, Aaron Rodgers as permanent host would check the vast majority of Sony’s boxes.)
Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category South America):
2 of the 3 national capitals on the continent whose metro areas have more than 10 million people
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Abbey Copeland, a professor & scenic designer from North Haven, Connecticut
Pasquale Palumbo, a financial services professional from Hawthorne, New York
Brandon Deutsch, a student from Long Beach, California (3-day total: $70,026)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Brandon is the first player since February to win 3 games—and our guest host loves the fact that he’s a student at the University of California, Berkeley. He’s been able to keep the momentum going and is a strong favorite to take win #4 today.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. 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 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Interestingly, this question could not be written even six years ago; both the Lima and Bogotá metro areas only passed the 10 million mark in the last five years. Neither São Paulo nor Rio de Janeiro are the capital of Brazil; Brasilia’s population is just over 4 million.
We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Yes, North Haven is a suburb northeast of New Haven, Connecticut.
- Betting to cover 3rd place’s score by $1 from the lead is a good way to risk an unneccessary tiebreaker.
- Thus far, $88,825 has been donated to the North Valley Community Foundation.
