Final Jeopardy!

Odds and Ends
That's before our time: Depressingly, no one knew that "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was a 1966 solo hit for Cher.
Ken's Korner: He opened by talking about how, as with all Jeopardy! champs, Amy's hold on the championship is "tenuous". One of these days he will be proven correct. This was not that day.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is film noir? DD2 - Who is Common? DD3 - Who was Lady Bird Johnson? FJ - Who was Thor Heyerdahl?
