Happy Wednesday, Day 3 of Savannah Guthrie’s hosting stint! Through 2 games, $33,900 has been donated to the Bowery Mission! Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Movie Characters) for Wednesday, June 16, 2021 (Season 37, Game 188):
A character who was going to be called Lunar Larry became him, inspired by the name of a real person
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Sarah Reza, a museum program manager from Hyattsville, Maryland
Evan Williams, an associate broker from North Hollywood, California
Katie Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio (3-day total: $35,899)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ultimately, you win a game of Jeopardy! by having more money at the end of the game than your opponents do. Katie has done this three times. Katie has also very aptly demonstrated that Jeopardy! has strategic considerations that are more than “respond correctly to clues” and is an utterly deserving 3-day champion. She did a much better job yesterday at limiting her incorrect responses; doing that again will increase her chances of winning an all-important fourth game!

Today’s Clue of the Day for the Alexa sweepstakes: DEAR DIARY: After releasing his autobiography “Long Walk to Freedom”, this South African leader shared diary entries in “Conversations with Myself”
Clue of the Day correct response: Who is Nelson Mandela?
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: Who is Buzz Lightyear?
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.)
Buzz Lightyear, one of the main characters of the Toy Story series of films, was originally going to be named Lunar Larry, but was renamed Buzz Lightyear after famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
Disney and Pixar posted some of the concept art to Facebook last year.
Here’s hoping that Katie’s streak keeps on going “to infinity and beyond!”
