TWO of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.
After making their debut in a 1937 comic strip, Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck appeared in the 1938 animated cartoon, “Donald’s Nephews”. The three can be told apart by the colors they wear: red for Huey, blue for Dewey and green for Louie. Huey, Dewey and Louie became stars in their own show with their granduncle Scrooge McDuck in 1987’s “DuckTales”, which lasted 4 seasons. The series was rebooted in 2017 and ran original episodes up until March 15, 2021.
Disney had previously introduced two nephews for Mickey Mouse in a 1932 comic strip: Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse. In the 1940s, Popeye had four nephews: Pipeye, Peepeye, Poopeye (aka Pepeye) and Pupeye.
Angela got it right. She bet $9,000 and finished with $18,800.
Tim didn’t come up with an answer in time. That cost him $12,797 and left him with $3.
Tyler got it, too. He bet $8,000 and won the game with $30,000. That made Tyler Vandenberg the new Jeopardy! champion.

Excellent group tonight. They didn’t leave too many unanswered (I did get them 3 of them). Tyler is magnificent; poised, quick, with instant recall.
Very impressive for someone so young, and such gutsy wagers on the first two DDs. But he should have known the last DD, which as it turned out would have given him a lock game. He’d have lost to the woman had he not gotten FJ correct.
Well Tim had a good game for the two days and a big payday. We shall see if Tyler can pull off a big payday. Furthermore, Huey, Dewey. and Louie wre my favorite cartoon characters. Ever since I was little I always enjoyed watching donald duck cartoons and the rebooted version. VJ did you know that disney theme parks also have donald duck and mickey mouse? I was wondering if your kids have met them previously while visiting the theme park.
yeah, Lou, my kids went to Disney World back in the day
I thought the marine was too young to know Donald’s nephews. I thought a person had to be over 40 to get the Final right.
idk why, Albert. People become acquainted with cartoon characters at all ages and in many different ways. My 6-year old grandchildren asked my 50-something brother to watch Duck Tales with them last night. Of course, the kids didn’t get but neither did my bro. I expect my son got it if he saw the show, though.
On that show in the beginning of the month that had a Disney Songs by Movies category, my granddaughter was standing by the coffee table when the show started. The first clue read was “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” (the original & the sequels)” She said “Toy Story” before the player buzzed in. The first Toy Story came out when her mother was 2 years old, and the last when she was 4.
Poor Tim Moon! He had just gotten the Final Jeopardy wrong! But still, congratulations to Tim Moon on his two-day winnings of $72,601!
Also, this is Tim Moon’s third game, not second game.
