Final Jeopardy! clue: An 1892 Punch cartoon depicts him lounging with a cigarette & holding a fan with a name written on it

Who is Oscar Wilde? (Any incorrect responses or game stats will be in the comments section.)


Wilcley 3800 – 0 = 3800 Erin 14800 + 14798 = 29598 (2-day total: $53,999) Bryna 17600 – 12001 = 5599

Remember to vote in our Poll of the Week (I promise cute dogs if you click.)

In terms of the cartoon? Here it is:

100197-004-BBAAA8D5

The fan being Lady Windermere’s, well, makes complete sense.

Also, I’d like to take the time to congratulate Kennebecasis Valley High School of Quispamsis, NB, who earlier today defeated Eric Hamber Secondary School of Vancouver, BC in the national finals of Canada’s Reach For The Top.
