Good morning! Today is Tuesday, April 13, 2021 (Season 37, Game 142). Aaron Rodgers is on Day 7 of his 10-day hosting stint. $143,225 has been raised so far for the North Valley Community Foundation. Coming up, though, will be interesting: Anderson Cooper’s two weeks begin April 19; Cooper has, in fact, been long-considered to be the favorite to be Alex Trebek’s permanent replacement. On that note: here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Astronomy):
As Huygens observed in 1656, a weapon in this constellation contains a nebula, one of a few that can be seen with the naked eye
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Erick Loh, a pastor from Northridge, California
Norah Webster, a meeting planner from Chicago, Illinois
Dennis Chase, a biotech project manager originally from Hyannis, Massachusetts (2-day total: $48,400)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Dennis’ winnings could be much higher than they currently are; he has dominated proceedings in his first two games, especially yesterday. If he can keep the momentum going—and the reports were that Aaron Rodgers did an excellent job of keeping the tape day moving—Dennis should have no difficulty making it three wins today.
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.

Correct response: What is Orion?
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.)
Located south of Orion’s Belt, the Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and has been documented for centuries. Located in the “sword” of Orion, it appears fuzzy and becomes much more noticeable with magnification. Christian Huygens’ Systema Saturnium showed the first printed representation of the nebula; the work is probably better known today, though, for correctly explaining the nature of Saturn’s rings.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Thus far, $167,225 has been raised for the North Valley Community Foundation.
- Much to Aaron Rodgers’ chagrin, the only Triple Stumper in TITLE WAVES was a clue about the Green Bay Packers’ five NFL championships in the 1960s. That’s going viral tonight for sure.
- It is my experience that players routinely underbet Daily Doubles and overbet Final Jeopardy, especially considering that Daily Double clues tend to play easier, on average.
- Moveover, making a bet in Final Jeopardy! that doesn’t cover third place, let alone second, is certainly playing with fire. This behaviour can be observed by your future opponents and might affect their strategy in future games.
