Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Classic Games) for Tuesday, April 5, 2022 (Season 38, Game 147):
Reuben Klamer, who passed away in 2021 at age 99, developed this game relatable to “literally everyone on Earth”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Mattea Roach, a tutor from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Kathleen Snyder, a government contractor from Arlington, Virginia
Camron Conners, a high school social studies teacher from Rancho San Margarita, California (1-day total: $24,200)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Nell Klugman went from 70% to 46% on buzzer attempts between Friday and Monday—which meant that Camron Conners became the champion! Today sees Kathleen Snyder and Mattea Roach take their turn. One thing I’ve always enjoyed as a Canadian Jeopardy! fan is how Johnny Gilbert announces Canadian contestants; hearing him say Canada in his booming voice is one of my favorite things.
On a more personal note, if you are around overnight tonight (from 2:00am to 8:00am Eastern Daylight Time on Wednesday, April 6), I am going to be doing a 6-hour charity Twitch stream (on my own channel, twitch.tv/thejeopardyfan), raising money for the MS Society of Canada, as a part of the twice-annual Gamers vs. MS charity stream relay. I recently shaved my beard for my part in this relay, and will only regrow it if “Regrow” earns more money in donations than “No, don’t regrow” does. Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the world, with an estimated 1 in every 385 Canadians living with the disease. While it is most often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, younger children and older adults are also diagnosed with the disease.
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.

Jeopardy! sure has some explaining to do—at least on the web end. Their website is showing Clue of the Day as “20th Century Cinema”, whereas the New York Times print edition shows “Classic Games”.
Meanwhile, in a subject used before in a Jeopardy! context, The Game of Life has had two versions: an original 19th century version, and a 20th century version developed by Reuben Klamer and endorsed by Art Linkletter.
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:
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: How Are You Fixed for Blades?; Last Name’s the Same; Instrumental TV Themes; Clear “I”s; Full Arts; Can’t Lose
Kathleen didn’t get in until clue #12 of the round, but she got 3 of the 4 clues before the break in order to jump into a small lead over champion Camron and Canadian challenger Mattea. Coming out of the break, Mattea had a strong performance, picking up 6 correct to take a $2,400 lead, whereas champion Camron struggled, losing $1,000 on a Daily Double and ending the round $1,000 in the red.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: World Geography; Dogs; Scrambled Novels; Adjectives; Movie Critics; 6 Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon
Camron’s struggles continued in this round, with him only getting in 3 times. He did make Final though. Meanwhile, this turned into a huge battle betwen Kathleen and Mattea. Kathleen bet most of her money at the time on a correct Daily double, whereas Mattea bet very conservatively on theirs (with only 2 clues left). We had a very close game going into Final, with Mattea leading at $18,000, Kathleen at $16,000, and Camron at $2,200.
Final today saw both Kathleen and Mattea get Final—Mattea bet to cover and our new champion is a Canadian! They’ll be back tomorrow in a red blazer to defend their title.

Today’s interviews:

Kathleen lived in Fort Jay when growing up.
Camron is a D&D dungeon master.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Today’s episode was recorded on January 27, 2022—the show put up a disclaimer due to a clue about Vladimir Putin.
- For Canadians, $32,001 is enough to pay off student loans—certainly not the case for many Americans.
- Link to the box score: April 5, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Mattea $18,000 Kathleen $16,000 Camron $2,200)
Camron: If Mattea makes the minimum cover bet, you can’t win unless you’re correct (and Kathleen overbets). Bet it all to maximize your winnings in case the miracle hits.
Kathleen: Bet between $4,001 and $11,599 to force Mattea to make a larger bet, still win a Double Stumper with Mattea, and keep Camron locked out.
Mattea: Standard cover bet today is $14,001.
