Not a time to be on Jeopardy, because dethroning the champion would be very difficult. Exciting times in jeopardy, congrats on $950, 000. She is a very good player, so smart.

Stevenson was governor of Illinois (1949-53) and ran for president in 1952 and 1956, defeated both times by Dwight Eisenhower. He was later U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He was intellectual and professorial. During his campaigns for president he delivered filmed lectures on television. Compare that to the political ads we get nowadays!

For those wondering, the YouTube channel Mike runs with his brother is Design Doc. Great channel!

[judithsexton]

I knew the answer to this question because Richie Cunningham on Happy Days was campaigning for Stevenson. Richie was heartbroken when he didn't win.

Mike's Daily Double win caused the tight game but Amy prevailed once again!

[CoolHandLuke]

Kefauver was a really good hint. All that time reading about the mob paid off lol

[Jbamb]

I have been searching for Mike's YouTube channel but no luck so far, anyone know what it is?

[raymondluxuryacht]

This one's super easy if you just remember the category. The only legitimate options are Stevenson and Eisenhower, and pretty much everyone knows that Nixon was Ike's running mate.

I only know about Adlai Stevenson from The Simpsons film strip about the moon.

[desertsunset]

Amy is amazing ... she has an infinite wealth of knowledge .

[markheying]

My guess for this Final Jeopardy Clue would have been 1 of the following 3.
1: Adlai Stevenson
2: Dwight D. Eisenhower
3: Richard Nixon

Amy was robbed over the New Years weekend. Prayers goes out to her and the family. She is doing much fine.

[christelheadington]

Contestants so young, they never watched "Happy Days".

[ryeinc]

Holy cow I actually got this one.

Just thought of an old school random politician, worked out 😂

[kurtjohnson]

Adlai was my only guess. Got lucky. Amy doesn't need luck!

[JohnMurphy-bofe]

I coached at his high school so glad I knew it was Stevenson lol

[techwiz]

The moon; for several years she has fascinated many. Will man ever walk on her fertile surface? Democratic hopeful Adlai Stevenson says so!

[TravisRichey]

Oh wow I pulled a correct guess straight outta my butt! I have no idea how that came to my brain. Presidential trivia is not my forte

[우사민-rc]

If Amy wins big in the next game she will top a million dollars!

[Liz.Green]

Whoa. I didn't expect to get that right, but I did. I thought I was a decade late.
