Correct response: Who is Miles Standish?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

John and Priscilla Alden are both characters in 1858’s The Courtship of Miles Standish, a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The poem focuses on a love triangle between three people: John Alden, Priscilla Mullins, and Miles Standish. While the main characters of the poem are based on three passengers of the Mayflower, debate has raged on since publication as to whether the story is fact or fiction.

Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $370 has been raised.)

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.
