The whole clue was a joke. I believe it was described as "the setting" for Some Like It Hot. Filming location, yes. Setting, no.
Good point. It always amused me that they're on the beach in Florida, and there are ... mountains in the background.

I recently paid my respects to the Fitzgeralds.

On the other hand, it was "a setting," and one M-W definition for setting is "the scenery used in a theatrical or film production."

Interesting. As a northeasterner (and for a while a Chicago resident), who has never been to San Diego, I have always seen it referred to in media as the Del Coronado or Coronado. Never seen “Hotel Del”.

Well played :lol:. I did not know that oophorectomy was the name for the ovarian operation. That's just silly.
My wife and I did a very mild double-take at the reveal. She's a nurse; I started as an EMT and finished my military career in hospital administration, and neither of us had ever heard "ooph" (or "oof"). All of the OB/Gyns we worked with pronounced it more like "oh-oh-pherectomy."
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

I can see no "R" in her response, no matter how much I try to persuade myself that the end of the "E" in "Univesity" has a little part that curls upward into part of one. I am surprised it was ruled correct. The judges either didn't catch it, or figured "Ohio State" was the only important part of the clue and thus were forgiving in this instance. Fortunately, it was a lock game, and only mattered to whether Courtney got an extra $8k take-home pay, not whether she won.

I happened to be driving through Ohio yesterday and stopped in Columbus for lunch. Saw a sign mentioning The Ohio State University. Even my GPS included The in my destination.

I didn't catch the word area in the San Diego hotel clue and thought that was poorly written because Coronado is a separate jurisdiction. If you have the chance, catch the film Noir television series Coronado 9 starring Rod Cameron. One episode features a daring climax scene on the roof of the hotel.

I thought the NYC parade clue was unfair. What was the Tom to lead one to Veterans Day? I know about the famous NYC Columbus Day Parade which features tens of thousands of Marchers. I saw it in person once. Hella boring. Nothing but marching units. Where are the politicians? Where are the floats? Where are the pretty girls in convertibles?
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

Gupta explained it: What fall holiday would draw much-increased participation between 1996 and 2009?

As Columbus Day has become less and less PC, I suppose interest and participation has declined in recent years.
