Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Friday, March 31, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: FAMOUS BRITISH NAMES
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: He used the coat of arms granted to his father in 1596; it depicts a long-shafted weapon, a visual pun on the family name
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Aaron Benor, an online sales director from Rutherford, New Jersey
Andrea Palmiter, a strategic data analyst from Woodinville, Washington
Eric Vernon, a retired government relations specialist from Ottawa, Ontario (1-day total: $26,800)
Congratulations to Jeopardy! on reaching Episode #7500! Fun fact, though: While today’s episode is actually labeled 7500, it is only the 7435th episode produced. All the way back in the spring and summer of 1985, during the show’s first season, a 13-week block of 65 episodes were given duplicate episode numbers, as many affiliates took a few weeks to actually start broadcasting the new Jeopardy! when it returned to the air in 1984.
Still, 7,500 episodes is no mean feat. Congratulations to Jeopardy! on its massive longevity (And yes, I’d love to see 7,500 more!)

As you can see here, William Shakespeare’s coat of arms, which per some big news last summer was granted to his father in 1596, contains a spear. Visual puns are often used in heraldry, like the Bloemfontein coat of arms referred to recently in another Final Jeopardy.
