Who is Kunta Kinte?
Kunta Kinte was the main character of the 1976 Alex Haley novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family. The 1977 television miniseries, titled Roots, was among the most-watched television series of all time. All eight of its episodes rank among the top 100 most-viewed all time (Nielsen ratings over 40%), and its finale on January 30th is still the 3rd-most-watched episode of television in American history. LeVar Burton played the young Kunta Kinte, John Amos played the older Kunta.
It was remade in 2016 and aired in History, A&E, and Lifetime, with Malachi Kirby portraying Kunta.

Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Nate $14,600
Sarah $9,600
Bryn $8,300
Final Results:
Bryn $8,300 – $2,500 = $5,800 (Who was Alex Haley?)
Sarah $9,600 – $9,595 = $5 (Who was John Paul Jones?)
Nate $14,600 + $4,700 = $19,300 (1-day champ: $19,300)
At the end of Double Jeopardy, Alex went “And the last clue…” with two clues on the board and picked one to read, taking selection away from Sarah. This sort of mistake would generally be judged to not have a meaningful effect on the outcome of the game, as both final clues were eventually played and Daily Doubles were not affected.
Daily Double locations:
1) NO DISCRIMINATION $800 (28th pick)
Bryn 3200 +1500 (Nate 5400 Sarah 600)
—
2) LITERARY FACTS $1200 (12th pick)
Bryn 7900 +2000 (Nate 6400 Sarah 3200)
3) AFRICAN LAKES $1200 (25th pick; $5,200 left on board)
Nate 12000 +1000 (Bryn 7900 Sarah 7200)
