Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Documentaries) for Thursday, October 13, 2022 (Season 39, Game 24):
In this 1970 film, Max Yasgur says, “I’m a farmer…I don’t know how to speak to 20 people…let alone a crowd like this”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Andrew Jiang, an options trader from Brooklyn, New York |
Zack Russell, a contracting officer from Dayton, Ohio |
Cris Pannullo, a customer success operations manager from Ocean City, New Jersey (9-day total: $313,323) |
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
There’s not much else to say about Cris Pannullo at this point—he’s been extremely dominant over nine victories, averaging nearly $35,000 over his first nine victories! (For sake of comparison, Ken Jennings’ 9-day total was $291,158, and Matt Amodio’s was $310,400.) If Cris makes it past Friday, he will get to take a few weeks off (both in real time and in Jeopardy! time) as the Second Chance Tournament begins Monday, followed immediately by the 30th Tournament of Champions, beginning October 31!
One thing that I’ll be on the lookout for in today’s game: 32 total correct responses from Cris will bring him to the magic 300 mark for correct responses.
Today’s challengers are Brooklyn options trader Andrew Jiang and Dayton, Ohio contracting officer Zack Russell.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

The 1970 documentary film Woodstock was made to chronicle the massively famous music festival, held on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Lauded as a hero in countercultural circles for this, Yasgur was made into a pariah by many of his neighbors, who deeply resented the countercultural movement and were upset by the size of the festival.
Other famous farmers in the history of music festivals include Michael Eavis, who has given his farm in Somerset, England for use of the Glastonbury Festival in the UK since 1970.
