Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Contemporary Authors) for Tuesday, October 19, 2021 (Season 38, Game 27):
He has studied Cordon Bleu cooking, but is known for his 1981 creation of a character with unconventional taste in cuisine
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Olivia Cammisa-Frost, a museum professional from Saratoga Springs, New York
Katy Buckner, a teacher from Los Angeles, California
Jonathan Fisher, an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida (6-day total: $142,900)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Jonathan Fisher is now a superchampion himself after defeating Matt Amodio, setting up a potential rematch in the next Tournament of Champions; Jonathan definitely leaves more openings than Matt does; Jonathan plays a much more conventional gameplay style and is very conservative on the Daily Doubles. Being that Jonathan is 10 for 11 on Daily Doubles right now, Jonathan could probably stand to bet more confidently in his abilities.
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.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I was very disappointed by some of the strategy that I saw in this game. Contestants need to be prepared to bet aggressively on Daily Doubles, especially when facing a superchampion. Plus, it makes the game more exciting in general.
