I think you got those swapped around. AGG's home is the prairie, not New England. The author did it the opposite, and they lived in New England. Edit: The answer's wrong, but prince Edward Island is not what they're guessing is New England, they think it is like prairie.
That Hitler one should have been a total softball. FDR was elected in 1932 and inaugurated in 1933, Hitler became chancellor in 1933, FDR died in early April 1945, Hitler died at the end of April.
1. No idea 2. I said Micronesia 3. Rembrandt - easy one 4. Yep Texas 5. Nope 6. Tennessee 7. Navratilova 8. Ugh I thought Hitler was too easy so I said Mussolini 9. Totally forgot about Anthony Hopkins 10. No idea
Mussolini died two days before Hitler, and for some reason I find it interesting that these three leaders all died in such a short span of time. Mussolini became Prime Minister in 1922, though. I couldn't remember when Mussolini came to power though, and was going back and forth between the two before settling on the Italian.
I got Polynesia and Hitler. I was kicking myself, as I know David Brat's campaign manager, but I couldn't come up with the name. Didn't get Navratilova or Tennessee.
It's usually a fairly easy question for regular players in Celebrity Jeopardy. I goofed and said Van Gogh but like most Celebrity Jeopardy players none of them even tried.
Honestly, I’m completely befuddled that none of the contestants got “Who is(/was) Hitler?”. Hitler took power January 30, 1933, FDR took power as US PotUS March 4, 1933; FDR died April 12, 1945, Hitler ended his life April 30, 1945. That was, IMHO, by far the easiest of the clues.
@@Roscoe-pi1gq I overthought it because I didn't know it was a Celebrity Final. I knew it couldn't be Van Gogh (he of the 1 painting sold in his lifetime) but thought Rembrandt was too obvious. If I'd have known it was celebrities playing, though, it'd be an instaget.
If you know “Manifest Destiny”, then the Texas one was easy. I think the Hitler one was really easy, but no one on that stage wanted to write Hitler fearing embarrassment from being wrong.
@@patrickstewart3446well it's a most final way "to leave power", isnt it? I got Hitler right off. Kinda helps I studied him, read many books, watched Docs, and wrote 3 diff papers on him when I was in school. I think back then FDR's first term, he was sworn in on March ??, 1933. Hitler came to power end of Jan 1933. ......... There's a Jeopardy Q for you: "name the one U.S. President who served a full term in office but DID NOT serve a full 4 years? I forget which term, maybe 1st to 2nd, for FDR. Cuz next term he was sworn in on Jan 20th (they changed it). So March ?? To Jan 20 is less than a full year, so term was less than 4 full years.
@@patrickstewart3446 except that applied to both FDR and Hitler. History documents Hitler's insane notion that FDR's death was the omen of turning the tide. The Allies were deep into Germany .. and from the East .. Berlin.
1. No idea 2. The Thousand Islands - X 3. Rembrandt - $ 4. Texas - $ 5. No clue 6. Tennessee - $ 7. Chris Evert-Lloyd - X 8. Stalin - X 9. Hopkins - $ 10. ???
The Tennessee one wasn’t too bad. I quickly figured out the vacant for 4 years clue was referring to the Civil War, which meant the President was Andrew Johnson. As long as you remembered the category was 19th Century, connecting the dots to the end of the Civil War should not have been that difficult.
The seat was vacant not because Johnson resigned when Tennessee seceded but because Lincoln appointed him as Military Governor of Tennessee in 1862 and put him in control of land that the Union forces had reclaimed in battles. He also was re-elected to that same senate seat in 1875 but only served a few months of the term before he died. He is the only President to serve in the Senate after serving as President.
1. Guessed Jo from Little House 2. Polynesia, clue made it obvious 3. Rembrandt, very famous painting 4. Guessed Haiti (but this one seemed like it would be easy to a skilled quizzer) 5. Guessed Cats 6. Guessed Georgia 7. Guess Serena Williams, sports would kill me on Jeopardy 8. First thought was Stalin 9. I also could only think of Daniel Day Lewis but that was obviously wrong 10. absolutely zero idea, couldn't even try to guess
So shocked no one guessed Sarah Plain and Tall! And even more shocked that they all they all thought Anne of Green Gabled (and yes, "Anne with an E"!) -- that book took place in PEI Canada, not the Prairie!
Forerunner of the Trump hair do.... Interesting enough when Ivanna died they showed past clips of her and one looks like the dead spit of what Donald is wearing now.
I thought of The Fantasticks but couldn't think of the name! "Why did the kids put jam on the cat? Why woujd the kids do something like that? They did it 'cause we said NO!"
I first thought of Navratalova because she kept playing so long, but really didn't think 46 was that old for mixed doubles. Was thinking of margaret Wade or Margaret Court? I'm not clear which one is which? One of them is Aussie.
Several years ago, Alex announced the Final Jeopardy catagory as "Five Letter Words" [sounds simple enough??]. The clue went like this: "The word 'telephone' was first part of Websters Dictionary in its 1892 edition. This related word also made its debut in the same edition." I had no idea of the proper response, and the contestants wrote: "phone", "phone", "?" [nothing]. Alex said the correct response is "Hello". Everyone was surprised to realize that such a common word today was an obscure colloquialism not warrenting a dictionary entry in years past. The word was promoted by Alexander Graham Bell as a proper short and efficient greeting for telephone use, rather than the formal but elaborate "Good morning, how is your day" etc that unnecessarily tied up too much early precious phone line time.
And that's why many other languages similar-sounding variations of "hello" (e.g. "Allo" in French) exclusively for answering the telephone. On a different note, I'm sure I would have done much better with the category "Four-Letter Words."
I knew one immediately and am shocked none of them got it. I had a good feeling about one and also got that one right. There was one that I should have known but didn't.
Mike Richards, former EP of Jeopardy who was one of the guest hosts following Trebek's death. He was announced as the new host starting Season 38. After many controversies about him surfaced, however, he was ousted as host after just a week.
IMO, the hardest Final Jeopardy! was from 2005 in the second game of the first semi-final in the Ultimate Tourmament of Champions between Jerome Vered, Pam Mueller and Frank Spangenberg. The category: Words from Latin.
With George Soule's win, this leaves me with 3 Seniors Champions who I have yet to see their big win. Those are Peggy Kennedy, Leonard Schmidt & Bart Thomas.
I mistranslated that French title as, "History of Navigations of the Australian Lands", so I was thinking Melanesia at first, but then I reread the rest of the clue and I knew "Poly" meant "many", so it's the only one that made sense. I feel the players were thrown off by the French clue. I thought "Australes" meant "Australian", not "southern" I figured if there was a geography one though I'd get it
I am never 'thrusting on all cylinders' (as Bones of Starfleet would say). I have a superb memory.......but very very very poor 'recall.' I still got two right.....including one (Anthony Hopkins) that no one got right on the show. I'll give myself a "C+" for effort.....
I thought Rembrandt had to be a trick question given the title of the video, then the Hitler one was just crazy easy. That's a basic piece of trivia about those two. Terrible choices. A couple of good tough ones, especially forgetting the category. Anthony Hopkins was pretty easy as well.
Latin American History: Following her 1952 death, the city of La Plata, Argentina briefly renamed itself in her honor. All three contestants whiffed. One response of "Who is Frida Kahlo?" and two blanks. Come on, how can you forget Eva Peron?
I only got Polynesia, Rembrandt, Hitler, Navratilova. Pathetic. I would have gotten "Texas" but didn't take into account the category "US History" and said Liberia.
Hardest Final Jeopardy Rounds...? Then how come several involve multiple contestants getting correct answers? Not to mention one that I new (Texas), one that I was able to guess (Anthony Hopkins), another that I didn't guess right but was in my short list of possibilities (Hitler), and one that in the question narrowed it down to only a dozen possible options (there aren't that many southern states). There have been some much harder final jeopardy questions over the years.
To adapt a quote from Regis Philbin, "They're only hard if you don't know the answers."
That might have been true on WWTBAM, but on Jeopardy you can often suss out the correct response.
it's amazing how much Merv Griffin and his estate has made just off that 30 sec theme
Watching that celebrity Jeopardy part, you can see where Will Ferrell got his inspiration for the amazing SNL sketches.
Celebrity Jeopardy is dumbed down for stupid celebrities.
I got 3 correct - as long as Sarah, Plain and Tall satisfies for the first question!
As a Canadian, i find Anne of Green Gables' home of Prince Edward Island amusing to be considered part of "New England".😅
They probably had her confused with Anne of Martin Gabels.
@@alanr4447a lol
They speak English, don't they???
I think you got those swapped around. AGG's home is the prairie, not New England. The author did it the opposite, and they lived in New England.

And was anyone else as offended as I was the he misspelled Anne? 😂😂😂
When you can't even make a guess, that think music seems to last an eternity!
To contestants it Probably sounds like Requiem or a funeral march.

WOW! These were tough.
If you know “Manifest Destiny”, then the Texas one was easy.

I wish they would have at least indicated the season of episode, if not the date of the original airing.
One look at Trebek’s mustache gives me the date to within a week.
That second question is a doozy 😂
Got two correct! Polynesia and Anthony Hopkins. Should have gotten Hitler, too, but guessed Franco for some reason. Thanks for the video!
1. Guessed Jo from Little House
2. Polynesia, clue made it obvious
3. Rembrandt, very famous painting
4. Guessed Haiti (but this one seemed like it would be easy to a skilled quizzer)
5. Guessed Cats
6. Guessed Georgia
7. Guess Serena Williams, sports would kill me on Jeopardy

Or New England. 🇨🇦🙄
5:33; Ah, they actually acknowledge the Seniors Tournament for once. For the record, this is from the 1990 Final.
No "they", this isn't an official channel.
;)
I only got the Anthony Hopkins one correct. I had zero idea on any of those others though.
That one was mildly tricky; "Amistad" took place after John Quincy Adams's presidency.

Bernard’s “hair”. Wow
I KNOW!
Forerunner of the Trump hair do.... Interesting enough when Ivanna died they showed past clips of her and one looks like the dead spit of what Donald is wearing now.
I knew most of these (yes, even Sarah Plain and Tall), but that last one was a killer
I missed 4 but I should mention that I got the president right just the wrong state on one of them. . . also, I can't spell Navratilova.
Congratulations, George Soule! You are the 1990 Seniors Champion!
$25,000 on the nose!
George, we'll see you in the 1990 Tournament of Champions. Bernard & Hank, great run, but I'm sorry. It's over.
I got 2of them ŕight
Which 2 did you get?
7 out of 10. Not bad
Tennessee and David Blatt+Dave Brat were the only two that I knew
I Know Season 33 is the most difficult final Jeopardy ever.
The World Leaders question (Hitler) question was very misleadingly worded. Most people would not equate suicide with "leaving power".
I have Rembrandt, Texas, The Fantastiks, Martina Navratilova, Hitler, and Anthony Hopkins.
I have hemorrhoids

I knew 5 of them and had a 50/50 shot atca sixth, the one about tge world leader who died after FDR. But I chose the wrong one.
I do think there are some recent ones that don’t give enuf context to answer it
I work in Hollywood and I’m super proud I got The Fantastiks and Anthony Hopkins. Not even CLOSE otherwise so I guess I’m in the right business
It was probably a royalties thing. With a charge for every time the video is viewed.
That could run into some serious coin.
Martina Navratilova was my fourth correct answer.
Jennifer mouthed Navratilova @ 11:56.
I saw that too, she came up with the correct response a bit too late.
Jennifer knew it after Alex mentioned that she was 46.
3:49 What is the date after the episode aired?
The scream I scrumpt when I got the first onr correctly.
The Politics question can't be one of the ten hardest final Jeopardies. Not only did all 3 contestants get it right, but so did I!
