“That’s starting to be some serious money. That’s real Jeopardy money.” I like that.

"Morning in Paris the city awakes to the bells of Notre Dame." Thank you Disney.

[cmfrtaynum]

Morning in Paris, the city awakes, to the bells of Notre Dame,
The fisherman fishes, the baker man bakes, to the bells of Notre Dame,
To the big bells as loud as the thunder, to the little bells soft as a psalm,
And some say the soul of the city's the toll of the bells,
The Bells of Notre Dame...

[AeroRanger]

I mean, what other book set in Paris that has anything to do with ringing bells could it have possibly been? 😅

What's with all the long streaks this season?

Because of Matt Amodio, I was thinking about how rare it is for a player to win more than 5 games (or 10 games).

So I was trying to guess or predict that we might not see another 10 game streak for a long time... and then along come all these streakers.
Isn't Amy S the 4th player this season to reach 5 games?

We may as well enjoy it while we can, because at any time we could get a long stretch with no one winning more than 2 or 3 games.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is an iconic work of French literature, published in the 1830s (and set in 1480s Paris) by Victor Hugo. It was written specifically to preserve the Gothic architecture, such as Notre-Dame, in Paris at the time. Quasimodo, the protagonist, is a hunchbacked ringer of the famed bells at Notre-Dame. The work has been adapted into film many times, including a 1996 Disney animated film.

Hugo was successful in his efforts in that Notre-Dame de Paris became a national icon in France; it is currently being reconstructed after a fire in 2019 made world headlines.

Not only Amy has secured her 9th win, but more importantly, she is now in the Jeopardy! Hall of Fame! Her 9-day total ranks her #10 on the all-time list with regard to earnings in the regular season.

"les miserables" isn't a bad guess—both victor hugo works that got adapted into popular musicals about morality/justice.

Well Done Amy. Fun to watch.
Ken Jennings is by far the best new host of Jeopardy. I hope he becomes the new, permanent, host. I know that may require some lifestyle changes on his part but I hope he can find a way.
Ken, I am a Canadian. I am sure Alex would approve!

Second-highest 9-day total of all time -- 10k ahead of Austin, 32k ahead of Matt, 51k ahead of Ken.

[kristopherloviska]

Ken is a natural. Mayim seems too much like an actor playing a part, neuroscientist or not. Please keep Ken.

[dianab]

Way to go Amy. She is funny. Said she bets big because, She has found out she loves money....LOL

[RadiActivSquid]

Gah, can we not put the answer in the comments for the first few hours. Opened my notification and saw the correct response was top comment before the video even started playing.

[kali]

I believe the original novel was released in France as "Notre-Dame de Paris, " and then in the US, it became "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

[AngelDust]

Loved this book as a kid! I have a copy of it still. This is the only reason I got this right

[phillipjohnson]

The only book I thought of was Hunchback of Notre Dame. Some of these I second guess because they seem so obvious

[NickL]

Thumbs up this if you love the Charles Laughton version!

[kimwaters]

would “Notre Dame de Paris” be a correct answer?

[jims]

I don’t know squat about 19 century literature but I guessed right 🍻

[masterdoge]

Keep rockin’ it, Amy!

If she wins tomorrow, that will be the first occurrence of three ultrachampions in one ToC in Jeopardy history!

(Also, whoever extended the hall of fame’s streak length leaderboards to include Jonathan Fisher, WHY)

[Dexaan]

Was the only thing I could come up with set in Paris.
