Clue and solution to the June 13, 2022, Final Jeopardy!

The category for the final question on June 13, 2022, is "TV Legends."

Clue: Buster Keaton considered her the tops in her field and, in fact, was one of her early mentors.

Solution: Lucille Ball.

The legendary Buster Keaton was one of the earliest mentors of the famous TV actress Lucille Ball. Lucille Ball became a household name after her long stint in I Love Lucy. Ball also considered Keaton as one of her earliest serious mentors. In her biography, Kathleen Brady revealed:

"Keaton taught Lucille how to command props and how to throw herself into physical maneuvers without hurting herself. Speedy, rambunctious Lucille learned to slow down and refine action. Keaton drilled her in the mantra that was the foundation of her fabled comic timing: Listen, react, then act."

The final round also poses a terrific dilemma where the participants are forced to make a tough choice. They can either play the final round and risk losing the amount they have accumulated over all the other rounds or walk away and lose the chance to extend their streak.

The final round has often proven to be the downfall of many great contestants, like Ryan Long the previous week.
