Correct response: Who is Woody Guthrie?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The words were penned shortly after Woody Guthrie’s 1967 death by John Steinbeck, who had become a good friend of Guthrie’s in California. Both found much in common in protesting the Great Depression; Steinbeck’s preferred medium was the novel, Guthrie’s was the music. (Guthrie’s guitar famously had “This machine kills fascists” on it.) He wrote “This Land Is Your Land”, one of America’s most famous folk songs, in 1940.
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.
