AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHTS: In 1963 the Pulitzer Advisory Board vetoed his controversial play & gave no award; he would go on to win 3 Pulitzers show

Last week, 2 solves dominated the FJ’s. This week, that was an irregularity when 3 of the final clues only got one correct response. To be fair, there were only 2 players left in FJ! on Tuesday and we thought that was the easiest clue of the week. Obviously, Friday’s clue was the hardest, unless you knew the only playwright who got 3 Pulitzers for Drama.

Returning champ Kara Skinner was defeated on Monday by Jessica Garsed. Jessica won 2 more games before she lost to Geoff Duncan, who had the week’s top payout. Susan White scored a surprise victory on Friday with a fortuitous bet in FJ!
