Here are the Final Jeopardy questions and answers for the week of June 3 through June 7, 2019.

Mon, June 3 – Correct answers: 3
SHAKESPEARE’S TIME: The line “A great reckoning in a little room” in “As You Like It” is usually taken to refer to this author’s premature death show

Tue, June 4 – Correct answers: 2
WORLD TIME ZONES: This European country is still an hour ahead of GMT, a move made in 1940 to be on the same time as Nazi Germany show

Wed, June 5 – Correct answers: 1
THE NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET: This discovery of November 8, 1895 by a German physicist represents a letter in the NATO phonetic alphabet show

Thu, June 6 – Correct answers: 2
AMERICAN MUSIC LEGENDS: Steinbeck called him “just a voice and a guitar” but said his songs embodied “the will of a people to endure and fight against oppression” show

Fri, June 7 – Correct answers: 1
CANADIAN CITIES: City Hall in this western provincial capital is on Victoria Avenue near the corner of Albert Street show

The easiest clue was obviously Monday’s. I don’t really know how to judge the hardest out of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet or Canadian Cities, but I’m kind of leaning towards Canadian cities. If you don’t know the Canadian capitals at all, what chance do you have on that? At least you can take a guess on the alphabet one.

James Holzhauer returned for his 33rd game on Monday, the game where he would either break Ken Jennings’ $2,520,700 record or go home. The results of this game were spoiled before Monday for many due to a leaked Final Jeopardy! clip showing Emma Boettcher winning the game. Jeopardy! producer Harry Friedman has publicly stated that they have a pretty good idea of whodunit and they plan to take appropriate action against the perp(s). On Above the Law, Joe Patrice explains why the leaked clip had little effect on that particular episode’s ratings and how that affects a potential lawsuit.

After defeating James on Monday, Emma Boettcher went on to win 2 more games and $97,002. She lost her 4th game on Thursday to Brendan Roach and he won his second game on Friday, giving him a 2-day total of $58,700. Brendan will be back on Monday. Both Emma and Brendan got on the over $30K Season 35 payout list.
