Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 1970s Songs) for Tuesday, November 9, 2021 (Season 38, Game 42):
In 1976 “Bohemian Rhapsody” was replaced at No. 1 on the U.K. charts by this Europop song whose title is heard in Queen’s lyrics
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Hillary Sebeny, a historian from Honolulu, Hawaii
Greg Zona, a principal from West Grove, Pennsylvania
Dane Reighard, an editor from Los Angeles, California (1-day total: $28,000)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Dane picked up his first victory in yesterday’s game. One thing that astute challengers should have picked up on, though: he only bet to tie Elena’s doubled score in Final Jeopardy!, leaving him open to a potential tiebreaker. If Dane’s run (and this strategy) continues, you might see second-placed players be more likely to bet everything.
One thing that surprised me yesterday is the number of fans who were surprised that Ken was hosting (and not Mayim). Both the show and the media reported that there were going to be two hosts for the first few months of the season. I’m not sure what else the show could do here.
One further thing that bothers me about some of the fans: when they say that they are “voting” for a certain person to be host. I would like to make one thing clear: there is no host vote. Implying that you are voting for someone implies an agency into the process that you do not have and are not intended to have at this point.
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 “Mamma Mia”? (by ABBA)
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.)
This exact question made the rounds in trivia circles in the last six months—I definitely saw it on my Facebook at some point. It’s certainly a great “fun fact” question. The requisite line from the Queen song: “Oh mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia, let me go /
Beelzebub, has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me?”. The ABBA song went to #1 in the UK in January 1976 (and was from the group’s self-titled third studio album.)

Today’s interviews:
Hillary investigates World War II cold cases of people whose bodies weren’t recovered during the war.
Greg has been to three World Series as a Phillies fan.
Dane was an extra in Yo Gabba Gabba.
Andy’s Thoughts:
On the final Daily Double, the show’s rules and procedures were absolutely followed. The show’s rules are very clear on this point: Contestants may change their responses as long as neither the host or the judges have made a ruling. Thus, Hillary was very much allowed to change her response from “hedge farm” to “hedge fund” before Ken and the judges made their ruling.
- I still don’t quite understand Dane’s betting strategy. (There seems to be some sort of strategy there, but I’ve yet to figure it out.)
