I got FJ nearly instantly – Sir Percy Blakeney! Read the books (30 years ago), saw the movie on TCM.
The vodka I knew, because it is advertised ALL THE TIME on the radio here (upstate NY). The British game show I guessed, although I’ve never ever heard of it.
As to Lloyd and the reversal, at first, I was thinking that was right. However, as I recollect, Ken could have said “more specifically”. But, then again, it is incumbent on the players to know the category titles, and, in this case, I don’t know if he is allowed to prompt.

Ken admitted he was too quick to accept the response

“Tale of 2 Cities” came to mind till I quickly realized there was no title character, so I shifted to “Count of Monte Cristo.” I went down the tank along with Lloyd, and was surprised when the Lit professor missed it.
Knew the vodka maker because I’ve sampled it a few times, am on their email list, and about 5 years ago won a holiday-themed hoodie with their name plastered all over it.
Slightly disappointed that this really smart threesome didn’t know the show with the “Love Is All Around” theme. But that was 50 years ago.

Howard, This was not a fj clue I expected to be in Lloyd’s wheelhouse. There are various categories of Literature courses in colleges/universities. American Literature focuses on American authors only. See VJ’s description of Lloyd’s area of expertise above. You can look up his academic background on the Yale University website.

Btw, the fj clue fit Andy perfectly which is why he probably got it correct. Note the word “International” in his title as a professor. He is more likely to be interested in and up to speed on foreign literature.

It was a great game, and I performed about average. No, I didn’t get the FJ correctly.

After I saw who was in this game, I was rooting for Martha and I thought she would get FJ right. But it was too late to change my prediction.
It was quite a well-played match all the same, esp with that 3-way tie when Andy got the first DD and Lloyd losing $3,200 but still finishing in the lead!
I knew zilch about that British game show or the vodka.
