Stephen Webb was indeed successful once again, earning over $38,400 across Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!, and Final Jeopardy! rounds for a grand total of $139,281. The remarkable win came as a result of Webb knowing the Final Jeopardy! answer for which he wagered double his winnings for a chance to get ahead.

Luckily, the chance paid off as he was the only one to offer the correct response. In the category of literature, Webb and his fellow players were presented with the statement, “A 2006 book was titled The Poem That Changed America: this Fifty Years Later” The correct response was “Howl,” giving Webb a chance to continue his streak as the latest week of Jeopardy! gets underway.

I’m🤔wondering if Stephen is somehow related to @austintylerro. I’m surprised no one has mentioned it—they do have some resemblance.
