Tom Clancy was a Jeopardy contestant in the 1990s. I’m too lazy to look it up on J Archive for the exact year. I can’t even recall whether he won or not but he never met a camera he didn’t like. He was on TV a lot when he was alive.
Here is the J-Archive link to Tom Clancy’s game, Jacob. It was the second game that aired on 11/18/1997 in Power Players Week.
VJ, Thanks so much. Wow! Two people who were on that show are no longer with us.
I didn’t know that Tom Clancy had passed away. I only read his first book in 1985 when I was teaching in Taiwan, and never got to any others when they were available. It was given to me by a retired US Navy Cmdr. who said it was a “great yarn”, which indeed it was. I couldn’t help but noticing Michael Cavaliere, who presents a striking resemblance to actor Tim Bagley who appeared in 9 episodes of “Monk” as Harold Krenshaw, Mr. Monk’s nemesis. But his voice is much different. I hope he may come back sometime. Meanwhile we can appreciate Mr. Yogesh Raut.
The magellanic answer by Yogi in the galaxy category was extremely impressive. I never heard of Magellanic in my life. That should have been a 2K question and a triple stumper, imo. Then again I am weak on astronomy.
Doesn’t Michael look like the actor who played Niedermeyer from Animal House and the Maestro from Seinfeld?
That was a real, old-fashioned, heavyweight brawl tonight. (And on that subject, I cannot forgive Michael for thinking Rocky Marciano, the Brockton Bomber, was Sonny Liston. Good grief!)
Didn’t know FJ but Clancy was the only plausible name I could think of.
Howard, That Sonny Liston/Rocky Marciano snafu shocked the heck out of me too.
I laughed out loud at that Sonny Liston response. Then I had to explain to Nikki why I thought it was funny.
Interesting — there is no record of Sonny Liston’s actual date of birth and no one was sure about it, not even his own mother! This article claims toward the end that it was most likely July 22nd (same date of birth as Alex Trebek).
I didn’t know it was Rocky Marciano, but I coitenly knew it couldn’t be Sonny Liston!
Yogesh has the same amount of correct responses for buzzing and answering as Michael.
Very sad to see Brenda end up in the red. She was up against two men that were way much fast on the signaling device and that made it so that she didn’t get any rhythm going here. Well that’s just how it goes sometimes. There’s much more to this other than there’s a slighter chance of a really fine player going against the grain.
I hope that we get to see Michael again in the second chance tournament because of his strong play against Yogesh and he had 25 correct responses. Too bad Brenda didn’t have a lot of opportunities to come into a game against two buzzsaws.
Did anyone else see the face Michael made after he selected the second DD in Double? If you still have the vid on DVR, it’s worth it!
As for FJ, I knew it, but only from the year, and intuiting from the people mentioned in the clue. A brief story: I graduated from the Virginia Military Institute over 30 years ago. When I was a cadet, there was a symposium with 4 writers that wrote military themed novels. There was Stephen Coonts, who wrote “Flight of the Intruder”, later made into a movie, Harold Coyle, VMI ’74, who wrote “Team Yankee”, Bill Butterworth, who wrote under the name W.E.B. Griffin, and, Tom Clancy. I didn’t meet him, but, saw him up close and personal.
