Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 1972) for Tuesday, June 14, 2022 (Season 38, Game 197):
In June he said, “Don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is… a comedy of errors”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Megan Wachspress, an attorney from Berkeley, California
Barry Margulies, a professor emeritus at Towson University from Lutherville, Maryland
Eric Ahasic, a meteorologist from Minneapolis, Minnesota (6-day total: $160,601)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Minneapolis NWS meteorologist—the spelling of his occupation has finally been corrected on the Jeopardy! website!—Eric Ahasic is now at six victories and over $160,000! Barry Margulies and Megan Wachspress are your challengers today. He’s also had five runaway games in a row, buoyed by strong performances on the Daily Doubles. If the Daily Doubles keep on working in his favor, he could go on a long run. But the Daily Double can be a double-edged sword, and if they don’t work out for Eric, a savvy challenger could put an end to the run! Will Barry or Megan be that challenger 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, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Richard Nixon?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
In June 1972, the Committee to Re-Elect the President ordered a break-in of Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC. In the aftermath, the press and FBI were coming very close to linking the burglary to the occupant of the White House—Richard Nixon. In a recorded conversation between Nixon and advisor H.R. Haldeman, Nixon instructed Haldeman to tell the FBI that the breaking was “sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it.” Nixon wished for the public to believe that the funds diverted to the burglars were part of a CIA plot regarding Cuba. When the tapes were released in 1974 as part of the Watergate investigation, they were considered a part of the “smoking gun” that proved Nixon’s obstruction of justice during the investigation. Nixon resigned as President in August 1974 as a result (and was immediately pardoned by his successor Gerald Ford).

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: The Early 1800s; The Moral of the Fable; Clever Crossword Clues; Sun Up; Well, It’s 5 for the Money; 3 for the Show
Eric struggled a bit on the signalling device early on, and Barry took advantage to jump out to an early lead—once he recovered from a couple of early incorrect responses. However, Barry bet much too conservatively on the first Daily Double, though—it was a situtation where Barry needed to take advantage. Needless to say, Eric recovered to hold a slim lead after the Jeopardy! round. Megan was in a distant third.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Isles of the British Isles; Partners in Rhyme; Mammals; Communications; Songs of Innocence & Experience; 3 Letters; E in the Middle
Barry got off to a strong start in Double Jeopardy, even though he dropped $2,000 on the second Daily Double of the game. Eric was very strong mid-round, running ISLES OF THE BRITISH ISLES, and Megan was in a very distant third with 12 clues to go in the game. However, Megan picked up 6 of the final 12 clues, including the last Daily Double, to prevent Eric from holding a runaway going into Final. All 3 players were in contention, with Eric at $18,600, Megan at $10,000, and Barry at $9,000.
In Final, Megan got the perfect result for her—a single-get Final where she was the only correct player, and while she didn’t cover Barry, she did bet enough to win the game by just $2! She’ll defend her title tomorrow. We’ll see Eric in November, though, where he’ll definitely by underrated by many!
