The Marion Star and the paper's most famous publisher were featured in the final jeopardy answer during Monday night's broadcast.

The answer came under the category 20th Century Presidents. It read:

"He won an election in which both he and his Democratic opponent were from Ohio and both were wealthy newspaper publishers."

Any respectable Marionite would know the correct response without a blink, and Monday's contestants were no different.

The challenger Mack Hayden responded "Who was Harding?" to which host Ken Jennings replied, "Yes, Harding was the publisher of the Marion Daily Star. His opponent, James Cox, published the Dayton Daily News."

Haden nearly doubled his $11,300, but could not catch now 4-day champion Amy Schneider, who also gave the correct question and walked away with $45,400 on the day. She has amassed $155,600 in winnings over four days.
