Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy for Friday, October 28, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: SHAKESPEARE
Final Jeopardy! clue: These 2 title characters who have the same pair of initials both die by stabbing
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Julia Lee, a pharmacy student from San Bruno, California
Meghan Winch, a theater artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Ken Hirsh, a law library director & law professor from Milford, Ohio (1-day total: $16,001)
Who are Julius Caesar and Juliet (Capulet)?
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.
