I’m a little behind on episodes but one of the FJ clues this week was (almost) literally the opening text of the highest grossing movie of 2022. I can’t believe one of the contestants missed it! ---

I haven’t seen the original _Top Gun_ since the 1990s, and haven’t seen _Top Gun: Maverick_, so while it might have been clear from one of those movies, I never knew that “Top Gun” was the actual name of a military program. I always thought it was just a phrase the people behind the movie came up with because they thought it sounded cool. ---

I saw _Top Gun: Maverick_ back in May 2022. I definitely do not remember anything about what the opening text said. I didn’t even remember there _was_ opening text! I had no idea for that FJ. ---

I turn to my wife and say, “I don’t even know what their asking.” It’s rare for Final Jeopardy though. On the late-great radio (NPR) show _Whad’ya Know_, host Michael Feldman would preface the quiz portion with a Disclaimer (IIRC): “Misleading or poorly worded questions are par for the course. Sticklers for the truth should get their own show.” I am disappointed that _Jeopardy!_, the legendary Gold Standard TV quiz show, now needs a similar Disclaimer. ---

On tonight’s episode, there was a clue about the UK national anthem. They accepted “What is ‘God Save the Queen’?” Technically, that’s not the anthem right now. ---

Well, the clue said it had the same tune as “My Country 'Tis of Thee” so that limits the choices. I don’t recall if it said “current” though. ---

A supposedly “fact-checked” article about Ken’s return. > **[Ken Jennings May Not Return to "Jeopardy!" Until Next Season After Tonight](https://bestlifeonline.com/ken-jennings-jeopardy-news/)** > > It's Ken Jennings last night hosting "Jeopardy!" before Mayim Bialik takes over—and there's speculation he might be gone until next season. > There’s been no official announcement about when the hosts will switch again, but some are more hopeful than others. Twitter account @IsKenHosting claims that Jennings may actually return on Friday, March 10—after the high school tournament concludes—and host through April 14. ---

I’m not really a fan of this high school reunion tournament. It seems like they’re just making up reasons to create special tournaments, like this or the second chance tournament. ---

Any chance the match was taped before QEII’s death? Some quick googling reveals 3 months as the typical lag between taping and airing, but maybe tournaments are different? ---

God Save the King vs Queen > [@Arcite](#): > > Any chance the match was taped before QEII’s death? Some quick googling reveals 3 months as the typical lag between taping and airing, but maybe tournaments are different? Elizabeth died and Charles automatically acceded to the throne on September 8. That sounds like a long lead time. OTOH the Clue didn’t say “today,” so I would have accepted the title that has been used for the entire life of the contestants. ---

> [@Arcite](#): > > Any chance the match was taped before QEII’s death? Some quick googling reveals 3 months as the typical lag between taping and airing, but maybe tournaments are different? There was a clue today about Lisa Marie Presley’s death, and that was only last month, so it couldn’t have been taped very long ago.
