Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Benjy Malings, an attorney from Los Angeles, California
Sue Barndt, a professor from Claremont, California
Adam Remsen, an attorney & theater producer from Memphis, Tennessee (1-day total: $20,000)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
In Friday’s game, Adam Remsen had more attempts (39) than anyone last week not named Peter McFerrin as he cruised to a runaway victory in his opening game. Today, he makes his first title defense against Sue Barndt of Claremont and Benjy Malings of Los Angeles. Just judging by the fact that Adam and Benjy are both in “A Rundle” in LearnedLeague, it wouldn’t surprise me if today was mostly contested by the two attorneys today.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Unlikely Authors
Final Jeopardy! Clue: Set around Tikrit, “Zabibah & the King” is a historical romance novel from 2000 attributed to this man
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: Who is Saddam Hussein?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Set in medieval Tikrit, Zabibah and the King was an allegorical romance novel, published in 2000 and attributed to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, though its authorship is still debated today. The book’s notoriety took off when Iraq began propagating the rumor that Saddam itself wrote it, and it turned into a TV series and musical.
Your clues here, to be honest, are knowing where Tikrit is, as well as seeing 2000 and not accidentally thinking “2000 years ago”; if you can get past those pitfalls, the correct response should make sense.
