Today is Wednesday, March 31, 2021. So far, $204,501 has been raised for Dr. Oz’s charity. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy:

Logos: After 9/11, designer Milton Glaser modified this iconic logo of his, adding a bruise & the words “more than ever”

(correct response beneath the contestants)

The Jeopardy! community is mourning the loss of Brayden Smith, who passed away on February 5. The Brayden Smith Memorial Fund has been established, dedicated to furthering the educational aspirations of Southern Nevada students.

Today’s contestants:

Kevin Tanager, a pathologist originally from Chicago, Illinois

Kevin Tanager on Jeopardy!

Emily Seaman, a law clerk from Houston, Texas

Emily Seaman on Jeopardy!

Bryce Hwang, a medical student from Santa Clara, California (2-day total: $68,600)

Bryce Hwang on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Bryce has been incredibly strong through two games, but it is going to get increasingly harder for him to keep his buzzer mojo – contestants have been reporting in many circles that tapings are going much, much longer. After her own Reddit post the other day, I think that a lot of viewers, at least over on Reddit, will be cheering for Emily today.

PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. Ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
