Oh, dear, thank goodness indeed, VJ lol. Esmeralda was also the name of one of Samantha’s relatives on Bewitched.
And yet another rabbit mention tonight, sweet little Falafel. Andrea would have enjoyed Friday’s FJ lol.
The final question was a cinch. How in the world could the female challenger ever miss it? I mean, with obvious clues like “Paris” and the “bells ringing”?.
I was so delighted to see the opening-round environmental category HELPING THE PLANET on JEOPARDY! today. But I was simply ecstatic that the answer to “This Swedish climate activist donated her winnings from France’s Freedom Prize to groups working for climate justice.” was of course Who is Greta Thunberg? I was surprised the clue was valued at the maximum $1,000. I was a bit disappointed that neither the responding contestant Amy Schneider nor host Ken Jennings gave the full name (Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg not even her first name with the last name. This ace teen eco champion, science nerd, Indigenous ally, ace journalist, and ethical vegan is a remarkable role model for young and all. I had already added the previous mentions of Greta Thunberg to my in-progress in-depth bio book on Ms. Thunberg and the No. 1 climate crisis science, and I will be sure to include this clue as well! 🙂
A good start for Amy today and I am happy to see her getting 300K today. Although I Remember reading about the hunchback of Notre dame and watched a Disney version of it. Hearing gypsy witch numerous times by Don Claude Frollo was memorable. VJ I know your kids must have seen the Disney movie but still though what’s your opinion of the hunchback of notre dame?
Charles Laughton is the hunchback of Notre-Dame to me, Lou, and Maureen O’Hara is Esmeralda.
My father loved that movie and Maureen O’Hara. He wanted to name me Esmeralda. Thankfully, my mother nixed that one. lol
I think the prize goes to Lon Chaney Sr. as the Hunchback of Notre Dame with Patsy Ann Miller as Esmeralda.
Whoops! My error. Esmeralda was played by Patsy Ruth Miller in the 1923 silent classic.
Never heard of “The 1975”.
