So I'm not good at geography at all but I'm like "I dunno, wherever the Ephesians are from lol"

Ken is so kind and warm. Nice to watch Jeopardy these days.

Ephesus is truly a beautiful place. I highly recommend people to travel there and see it for themselves.

If you want to be on Jeopardy, you have to know your Shakespeare. That explains why I...uh...nm...

Well, I knew the right Letter from St. Paul but never thought about the spelling of the name of the city.

Fun fact: The last time the phrase "comedy of errors" came up on Final Jeopardy was the game Megan Wachspress defeated Eric Ahasic. The question was: In June [1972] he said, “Don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is… a comedy of errors”.

Why is this fact "fun"? Get a life!

Knew it as I have to some church friends that were there last year.

I only knew it b/c I was an accidental tourist once and pondered if we were in Greece or Turkey.

got it! thanks, sunday school and high school quizbowl 😂

Congratulations yogesh on advancing to the finals next week well done

Very nice final answer to the winner. Wouldn't have got that one in a million years.

I went with what at the time was Thessalonica. If I knew the modern spelling was Thessaloniki, I hopefully would have realized it was Greek, too.

I originally picked the wrong answer like some of the contestants. But before time ran out, I remebered the correct one. The Shakespeare reference threw me off at first, but I changed just in time.

I knew the answer! Few times I did. Surprised that the cleric didn't.

Remember, it wasn't just a religion question but also a Shakespeare one

I got it, but I almost said Corinth.

David and Emily used the Biblical approach and stopped at Corinthians. But using this approach (Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, etc.) does not work here even if you know geography, as you have a couple of options to choose from (Galatia being one of them). Knowing Shakespeare (which I would recommend to any would-be contestant) makes it a giveaway. Among the main characters are two sets of identical twin brothers separated at birth, Antipholus of Syracuse (in Sicily) and Antipholus of the correct response, Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of the correct response. The Duke of the correct response also features in the play.

Come on guys... How could you not know that Corinth is in Greece?

I understand the pressures of being on stage - especially when a clock is ticking - can make one give strange answers. That being said, I find it ironic that a Christian minister would say, "Corinth," which is in Greece, while an Indian (presumably, a Hindu) would give the correct response, "Ephesus." Of the nine epistles which bear a place name, only two are in modern-day Turkey: Ephesus (Ephesians) and Galatia (Galatians). Six are located in modern-day Greece - Colossae (Colossians), Corinth (I & II Corinthians), Philippi (Philippians), and Thessalonica (I & II Thessalonians). The ninth is Rome (Romans).

And Galatia is not a city but a region. It’s possible that one of the churches addressed in the opening parts of Revelation would be the correct response here but it would be a strange way to phrase the clue if that’s what they were going for. Regardless, I wouldn’t put a lot of criticism on the priest for getting this wrong. The geography of the epistles’ addresses is far down on what is most important about them for Christian studies. Corinth is a better guess for something in the Bible that would be a ‘comedy of errors’. Plus, the game was a runaway so no there was no need to put too much mental work into figuring it out.

Remember, the clue mentioned Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" so you'd have to connect that play to the epistles.

I hate how the podiums are still separated, the players have to walk out so far just to give each other handshakes and hugs, also Ken and players still can’t be together in the credits and he can’t walk to them in their interviews, what’s up with that?
