Ha this is such a high pressure environment even James is hedging his bets. Exciting!!!

[jad]

James: "Did I write 1109? I meant 11, 109." 😂

[mattharrelson]

I feel stupid. Lol I thought it was Brigham Young

[agbook]

Know your Texas history! Yes, good clue. 👍

[milesburton]

Could you possibly post the full episode of this? Thanks

[MrBlackFabio]

I didn’t know this one. I know Mitt is currently Senator in Utah. Where and when was he a Governor?

[ddr]

Sam Houston is correct for the clue as written but Ken’s comment was incorrect. Houston was a governor of Tennessee (not senator) before becoming a senator from Texas (later governor of Texas as well, only person to serve as governor of two states).

Tough one - I had guessed (John Quincy) Adams

[kennygrify]

I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right.

[GoldenNugget]

If I were James, I would've probably bet exactly half the total, just to make things more interesting.

Also, is he being dead serious? "A digit got dropped here"?

[markintexas]

By looking at my name, you can understand how utterly embarrassed I am for not getting this one right

(In my defense, I’m from Dallas, so I try to think of Houston as little as possible)

[seikibrian]

The clue said "and THEN senator." But the host said he was a senator BEFORE becoming a governor.
