Anyone happen to see Jeopardy Tuesday night? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I thought I should mention this, if anyone is interested. Tuesday's Final Jeopardy question was, "This Author (showed a picture) had been off the best author's list for several decades, but in 2002 was put back on."

The answer: J.R.R. Tolkien

I only knew the answer from the picture they showed, it was of Tolkien in his younger days, also, blasted Ken Jennings had to get the question right, lol. I just thought I should mention that, thanks

I saw that episode too. I actually had no clue about the question, and was on the verge of banging my head against the wall about 50 billion times after I heard the answer. And I do understand about Ken, as he is extremely annoying and has been on the show for WAAAAYYYY too long in my opinion.

*cries* I can't believe I missed that! I always watch Jeopardy, hoping for Tolkien related question, and the night they have one, I miss it! *sits in a corner and pouts*

I managed to miss it, but my mom (who has watched Jeopardy religiously every day for about 15 years) and brother did see it. It's not the first LotR question they've had, though, I've seen some others in the past. I agree with you on Ken Jennings, Saphy. He is cool.
