Final Jeopardy: Playwrights (2-15-21)
Here are 6 more triple stumpers from the 2/15/2021 Jeopardy! game:
SPECIFIC HOSPITAL ($1200) Since 1894 this city has had a Parkland Hospital; a brand-new facility opened in 2015
MEAN TWEETERS ($1200) Screech, the eagle mascot of this MLB team, won the President’s Race once with the help of his cheating mascot friends
($2000) Several crows are decidedly uncivil to Dumbo, singing this song with a 6-word title dismissive of his ability
1821 ($2000) The 4th British king of this name had a lavish coronation with dress inspired by the Tudor & Stuart eras
A PLACE LIKE RIVER HILL ($400) With hiking & golf, Cave Creek in the Sonoran Desert is a tourist draw just north of this state capital
“AU” CONTRAIRE ($1600) Oliver Hardy could be described as plump, while Stan Laurel was this
Sneak Peek clues — FOOD & DRINK:
($200) The first vegetables called potatoes were actually what we now call these “potatoes”
($400) When the kernels are not removed, corn is described with this 3-word prepositional phrase
($600) Before “polishing” began, most of the rice people ate was this color variety; now the term is used for a “whole grain” type
($800) Due to the emergence of the vodka type, the original martini now has this liquor in front
($1000) The black type of this is the original type made from a plant; the “black” part was added when candy like Twizzlers came along

Phil does not seem like a strong player. Phil won’t be a 5 game winner, imo.
That doesn’t matter. He’ll still always be a Jeopardy! champ. Not everyone can be a super champ.
Agreed. 👍
He won again tonight and had a better performance than yesterday
Jeopardy clue writers got on a hamster wheel and didn’t get off. “Au” contraire was last listed category tonight and led directly to fj clue correct response “Au”gust Wilson. Seriously?
nice to have my home town of Valley Stream as one of the clues tonight!
There were a lot of poorly written clues tonight.
– Laurel wasn’t “gaunt”. There’s a connotation of sickness or poor health with that word, not just being thin.
– “Dole” should have been accepted. You can dole out gossip.
– “The Post” certainly isn’t specific to the Saturday Evening Post. If you go to New York and ask for “The Post”, they’ll hand you the New York Post.
I think you have a point on the first two, but the category for the third clue you referenced was ‘1821’, so the correct response had to publish its first issue in 1821.
Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the dates on any other Posts.
As long as you’re objecting to gaunt on the connotation grounds, I think the same could be said for dole. You dole things out sparingly. Gossip is something you either engage in enthusiastically or choose to avoid.
Decent scores today though I am not surprised that Phil didn’t know the Bill Withers DD. Though congrats to Phil on his win. Ma rainey definitely was a great movie to pay tribute to Chad boseman. Also VJ what scene did you find to be memorable in that viola Davis movie?
I didn’t see that movie yet, Lou. Just the trailer. Glynn Turman, the actor who plays Toledo, was Aretha Franklin’s second husband. Did you know that? He was in a 12-part TV adaptation of James Michener’s “Centennial” the year they got married.
I was happy for Phil. He sure looked like he thought any chance he had of winning was over when he missed that DD. So weird that Lance only made $400 in Double Jeopardy!
No I didn’t know that but definitely thanks for the heads up my friend. Still this site has actually made us learn a lot these days. Although some of the clues could have been better written here.
I thought Phil was toast when he blew $4500 on the easy DD. But he had enough time to recoup.
