Happy Star Wars Day! (May the 4th be with you). Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Literature) for Tuesday, May 4, 2021 (Season 37, Game 157):
This 1970s memoir told of harsh places that metaphorically were like an island chain “from the Bering Strait almost to the Bosporus”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Brittany Eltman, a baker from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Hanna Howard, an editor from New York, New York
Emily Sands, a vice president of operations from Chanhassen, Minnesota (3-day total: $73,000)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Emily got herself to three wins on yesterday’s game and has been doing well, but she might have difficulty getting to win number four. Reports were that yesterday’s game took two hours to tape; that may affect Emily’s ability to keep her run going.
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 The Gulag Archipelago?
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.)
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago was a non-fiction text, first published in 1973, written during the 1950s and 1960s and that told of the conditions within the Soviet Union’s Gulags, or prison camps. Solzhenitsyn himself spent eight years as a Gulag prisoner for criticizing Stalin while serving in the Red Army. Solzhenitsyn’s time in the Gulag empowered him to expose the countless human rights abuses committed by the Soviet dictatorship. Because the work, even while being written, was considered contraband, Solzhenitsyn completed parts of the work in different locations; the finished microfilm was smuggled out of the Soviet Union to Zurich, Switzerland. The work, which was viewed as a major challenge to the Soviet dictatorship, sold tens of millions of copies worldwide.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Thus far, $46,199 has been donated by Jeopardy! to Media Fellowship House.
- I know a lot of viewers will want to blame the guest host for unplayed clues. However, there were 8 combined incorrect responses and 8 Triple Stumpers in Double Jeopardy; to me, I thought Bill did well to keep things to just 2 clues unplayed.
- I was very happy to see Jeopardy! include a clue about Sam Smith’s 2019 announcement of their using they/them pronouns. I would love to see Jeopardy! ask for, and include, each contestant’s pronouns going forward.
