    Feeling smart today – 2 days in a row I got FJ when they all missed it – even Amy (Van Gogh yesterday). I knew Ethel Merman was in Annie get you gun and couldn’t think of another Dolly, my first thought. Also got Kennedy’s boat. But of course Amy got so many that I had no idea about.

  2. William Weyser says:

    Amy got credited $3,200, because “Tale Spin” was as acceptable as “Nosedive”.

  3. Howard says:

    Tough final, but a good one. I should have known it, but I’m too far removed from when I lived in NYC decades ago. “Rose” was my weak response.

    Amy is every bit a fact machine as Matt Amodio. Not quite in Holzhauer’s league in terms of % of right answers given A bit surprising tonight that no one knew JFK’s boat, or the 12-letter city surrounding LA.

    • VJ says:

      @Howard, I had the same response as you (and Amy) for FJ! I told my daughter I knew the clue on JFK’s boat because I saw the movie named for the book that was named for the boat decades ago. I wonder if Cliff Robertson is on their radar — most of the clues about him are about his playing JFK in that film. The last one was in 2019.

      • rhonda says:

        I also saw the Cliff Robertson movie in the theater when I was a little girl, it must have been part of a double feature. . I remember I thought that JFK was playing himself lol.

  4. James Lang says:

    I see where you say no clues went uncovered. There were always clues left over when Alex hosted not so much after he passed away. Anyone else notice this ?

  5. Rick says:

    That was some tough finale. Actually, I can’t ever recall seeing the 1946i musical on television. I thought that it might have been ‘Marie’, but I was wrong just the same.

  6. Jacob Ska says:

    VJ, thanks for the fantastic research. Clearly, 1946-1949 was way before my time to see “Annie Get Your Gun” on Broadway. LOL! Hope all is well today.

    GO AMY GO! Superb knowledge base. I love how she responds to negative comments on Twitter in a positive way. So much class.

    • VJ says:

      Thanks, Jacob. I have to go to the doctor for treatment once a month so I don’t “keel over” (A little humor that ties in with Jeopardy! today). The doc said I’m doing good. I just need a nap.

      I loved Amy’s chat story today. This site has always been about finding something to associate with whatever we’re learning so we can remember and appreciate it. Also, as I mentioned another time, my parents always said “Look it up.”

  7. Jan Nesseth says:

    I’m a fan of Amy Schneider and Ken Jennings❣❣

  8. Lou says:

    Another triple stumper today. Probably one of my favorite FJ clues. Annie Get Your Gun will always be in my memories forever. Let’s hope we get a triple solve tomorrow.

  9. Ismael Gomez says:

    Another tough final as we got another triple stumper. As usual, nobody knows about broadway musicals.
