    Anyone who watched “Saturday Night Live” would remember the category “State Your Name” used on their celebrity jeopardy sketches.

  2. Albert says:

    I am glad the show had a question about kipling because some in our society want to cancel kipling.

  3. JP says:

    “Twice Told Tales” came to my mind too, even though I knew it didn’t fit the clue and was not written by Kipling.

  4. Rick says:

    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.

    We end the week with a triple stumper and today’s FJ wasn’t very nice to the contestants.

  7. Jacob Ska says:

    Congratulations Jonathan on becoming a 5-day Jeopardy champion. Proves your defeat of Matt was the real deal. Way to go!
