Anyone who watched “Saturday Night Live” would remember the category “State Your Name” used on their celebrity jeopardy sketches.
I am glad the show had a question about kipling because some in our society want to cancel kipling.
“Twice Told Tales” came to my mind too, even though I knew it didn’t fit the clue and was not written by Kipling.
I never read any of the “Just So Stories”, and perhaps none of the contestants.
At last another 5 time champion in Jonathan Fisher. Although the Jungle books was not a bad guess Although it seems that our contestants are not avid readers of kipling literature, Jon has officially started a streak of his own. We started this season off without any leader curses. We end the week with Jon winning repeatedly but I hope he can get game 6 on monday. He is now qualified for the tournament of champions and I am looking forward to seeing him and Matt having a rematch. Good work by Jon today. This wasn’t tough of a final but I never read just so stories.
Today’s final was rather easy?
I’ve never heard of “Just So Stories”, nor have I read them.
There are lots of volumes in the Just So Stories book series.
Same last name guy wrote jungle book
Okay, there are lots of Jungle Book franchise. Five Disney movies, and two Disney shows TaleSpin and Jungle Cubs, Netflix, and Sony.
We end the week with a triple stumper and today’s FJ wasn’t very nice to the contestants.
Congratulations Jonathan on becoming a 5-day Jeopardy champion. Proves your defeat of Matt was the real deal. Way to go!
