Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy for Friday, October 28, 2016:

Meghan Winch, a theater artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

wk7_1024_1028_winch_lineup

Ken Hirsh, a law library director & law professor from Milford, Ohio (1-day total: $16,001)

wk7_1024_1028_hirsh_lineup


Who are Julius Caesar and Juliet (Capulet)?

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

You’ll also be able to get some of Ken’s thoughts on this episode on the Jeopardy! podcast #JeopardyLivePanel, whose next episode is taping live on Sunday, October 30 at 7:00 PM Eastern! Joining him on the panel will be 3-time champ Lani Gonzalez!

This has been my favorite Final Jeopardy! clue so far this season. It took me about five seconds to come up with Julius Caesar, and then Juliet Capulet came at about the 20-second mark. Of course, (spoiler alert!) Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, while Juliet’s death was a suicide.
