A+ performance by Ken, from beginning to end.

[queenfan]

Congrats to Ken for being on the cover of the upcoming issue of TV Guide Magazine (late April edition). The publication and its publishers recently endorsed his bid to become the permanent host.

Ugh. Terrible bet by Caitlin. Gave herself zero percent chance to win. Mattea would have no reason to bet more than $4001. So if Mattea is wrong, you have to at least get to $16800 if you are right. Had the game won but gave it away with a poor wager.

[samdonaldson]

The Mattea Shrug has to be a meme by now, right?

[thuantran]

I wonder if the person in the middle is kicking herself for NOT bidding it all?

[masterdoge]

This is the second day in a row that third place has placed their entire chance of winning in Mattea overbetting for some obscure reason. WTF

[lauram]

Oh, I'm so pleased I got this one.

[miguelburgos]

Tomorrow put category of Orlando news clues, please Ken

[Exotic]

As a Canadian, I’m really proud of this young lady! 😃

[kenc]

I missed it (and I have a copy of "Arabian Nights" on a shelf behind me, though my copy doesn't mention the translator Antoine Galland).

[henrywong]

Hope that Mattea will reach Jonathan Fisher and Arthur Chu as a 11 day champ

[kennygrify]

Mattea is now officially the THIRTEENTH winningest player in Jeopardy! history!

[countalucard]

Can’t comprehend the women in the centers bet. Just bet it all don’t overthink things.

[pvrunner]

I guessed “In Search of Lost Time” by Proust. That doesn’t make much sense now that I’m re-reading the clue that says “first Western translator”…

[ladyhawke]

Got this one. It was rather difficult, in my opinion. The only reason I remembered is that I hated and avoided his transations. I liked Richard Burton's instead.

[bhm]

Without giving anything away, but I wonder if adding the famous numbers to the title would have rendered it incorrect

[laureeen_]

If I was canadian, probably I'd feel so proud of Mattea...

[chickenjail]

Not a clue. Randomly guessed the Rubiyat. 0/1

[DarkReaper]

That was a very poor bet by 3rd place. 2nd place had to bet AT LEAST $8401 and 1st place had to bet $4001 in case 2nd place doubled down, putting 1st place at $16799 if wrong. The $2000 bet wouldn't even cover for 2nd place if 2nd place did a bizarre bet of $4399.

[dmblum]

I thought you should have had 1001 - I always thought of the title that way.
