One of the best parts of Jeopardy! is playing along at home. Since we don't all boast Jeopardy!-level knowledge, it's fun to figure out the Final Jeopardy question before each episode airs. Now, we're in the finals of the second week of the Second Chance Tournament.

What is the answer to the Final Jeopardy for Oct. 27, 2022? The category is "American Composers."

Clue: He turned to opera with the 1903 work "Guest of Honor," likely inspired by Booker T. Washington's dinner at the White House.

Answer: Scott Joplin

Scott Joplin turned to opera with the 1903 work "Guest of Honor."

Known as the "King of Ragtime," Scott Joplin wrote his first opera to celebrate the dinner at the White House between Booker T. Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. Booker was a civil rights leader and educator at a time when civil rights were closer to slavery than to the Civil Rights Act, so both Booker and Teddy were far ahead of their time.

"Guest of Honor" had a company of 30 people performing in a national tour, although it's unknown as to if it had an all-black or a racially mixed presentation, which would have been very rare for 1903. Even still, during the tour, the score was confiscated along with Scott's belongings due to non-payment after someone stole the box office receipts. Now, the score is considered lost as no copy has ever surfaced.

After yet another rough year for Philadelphia sports fans, it appears that we finally have produced a winner that this city so desperately deserves.

“Jeopardy!” champion Ryan Long has won 15 straight games on the storied show.

Long, a 39-year old Uber and Lyft driver from Philadelphia now holds the ninth-longest winning streak in the history of Jeopardy, earning over $275,000 during his historic run. Not only that, but just over a year ago, he was hospitalized and in real bad shape battling COVID for weeks.

I know it’s hard for Philly to even consider a champion outside the typical 4-for-4 sports in this town. I mean hell, the Philadelphia Union are in first place and no one gives them their fair shake as contenders, but I think we have to make an exception for Ryan Long.


It’s hard to imagine driving on one of those ride share apps to now being one of the Top 10 best Jeopardy contestants of all time and winning hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the very least, after this Long should be launching his own ride share jeopardy show in the city of Philadelphia and just own people for extra tips.

This Cinderella story hasn’t been without its dark valleys to match its glorious peaks though. In a truly horrifying moment Ryan froze. What made it so terrifying about him freezing? It was a very basic Philly sports question that froze him like a statue.

The clue was “In an unexpected crossover, the green Phanatic supporting this team since 1978 has a kids’ book with a “Galapagos Gang” of animals.” As a Philly guy, you probably just almost immediately imagined the Phillie Phanatic as soon as you read the word “Galapagos.”

Of course the question was “Who are the Phillies?” but Long got beat out by another contestant.


Even with the Philly question blunder, Long ultimately won that episode of Jeopardy anyways and continues to bring home narrow victories as other contestants fall flat on their faces. Could you imagine if Long was in the Phillies bullpen? He might have been able to close out a few of those miserable losses over the past week.

Just don’t ask him about the mascot.

Cheers to Ryan Long, we hope his run on Jeopardy continues and will gladly call him a champion of Philadelphia regardless.
